db Broadcast To Launch DVB-T2 Receiver

Cambridge-based independent system integrator and product manufacturer dB Broadcast has selected IBC2013 as the platform to launch the new DVB-T2 broadcast receiver to its Hawkeye range.
A development of the MERlin and Hawkeye B105 receiver modules, the IQDBT105 has been designed to be compatible with the Snell IQ range of enclosures and with the Snell RollCall control and monitoring system.
The modular format allows high packing densities with up to 8 receiver modules in a 3RU frame.
Features of the IQDBT105 unit include an SNMP interface that allows integration with Network Management Systems for monitoring and control, while the module monitors key RF signal performance parameters such as Modulation Error Ratio (MER) to give early indication of signal degradation, and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) to determine the status of error correction.
Programmable user templates can be used to compare RF modulation parameters with the ideal signal. Transport stream ASI parameters are monitored including PAT conformance and PID presence against a user defined list of expected PIDs.
Tom Swan, Sales and Marketing Director at dB Broadcast says: "This is a natural development for our range as we take our leading monitoring and acquisition module and make it compatible with the popular Snell IQ Modular range. We look forward to demonstrating it to our current and new customers at IBC Stand 10.A28 and at the Snell stand 8.B70."
