At the IBC show next month, GatesAir will feature its Maxiva XTK software-defined exciter, described as a next-generation signal processing engine for its Maxiva digital television and DAB/DAB+ radio transmitters.
“Designed to support broadcasters across worldwide digital transmission standards, the Maxiva XTK combines exceptional signal processing power, advanced Transport over IP (TSoIP) capabilities and software-defined flexibility to simplify digital broadcasting today while preparing networks for tomorrow’s transmission technologies,” it said in a release.
The exciter supports digital TV standards including DVB-T2, ATSC 1.0, ATSC 3.0, ISDB-Tb and Brazil’s DTV+, “while extending the same software-defined architecture to DAB and DAB+ networks.”
GatesAir said the FPGA-based platform has increased processing capacity and incorporates Real-Time Adaptive Correction techniques that optimize signal performance across a range of RF amplifier configurations.
“The XTK establishes a common technology platform that supports today’s transmission requirements while creating a flexible foundation for future digital standards through simple firmware updates in the field,” it said. The modular architecture also provides a path for optional internal satellite and RF input capabilities.
