Harris evolves its series of maxivive digital transmitters Uax

In IBC 2012 Harris will extend its Powersmart value proposal with new options aimed at reducing space and consumption at the same time that efficiency in digital TV networks increases.

Harris Broadcast Communications aims to help broadcasters and network operators reduce space and consumption while improving efficiency in shared transmission facilities.

Harris presented its Powersmart concept now four years ago with the purpose of increasing the density, power and efficiency of its systems, while reducing operating costs and improving the total property cost for BroadCasters and Operators of TV Digital Terrestrial.

Now, in IBC 2012 Harris will extend its Powersmart value proposal with new options in a compact design transmitter that will be of great help to international Broadcasts that face difficult budgets.

Harris is evolving its series of Maxiva Uax digital transmitters through the integration of technologies that allow reducing consumption and space, increasing efficiency as evident in the new Maxiva Uax Compact (with only 2Ru high). Its reduced size allows stations that operate transmission networks whether they are large or small flexibility when displaying low power transmitters in small spaces in different locations.

These new designs are already available for all digital modulations (DVB-T2, DVB-T/H, ISDB-TB, ATSC and others) with power levels from 300 W to 1250 W.

Harris also addresses the needs of those high-power stations, many of which share the transmission facilities by integrating Paso-Banda filter systems in their high power transmitters of UHF maxiva ULX.

In addition, ULX maxive transmitters can now incorporate external liquid cooling systems using a pump housed next to the transmitter, which reduces installation time and soil space requirements. This is a particularly valuable feature in Europe and other regions where BroadCasters and operators pay according to the space they occupy in shared transmission facilities.

Harris Stand visitors in IBC will also be able to see the maxive transmitters operating next to an integrated DVB-T2 header of Harris, as well as the Harris Selenium convergence platform for integrated multiplexation coding, and the family of monitoring systems and Videotk test as the new MSA series.

Radio

For radio, and thinking of large international operators, Harris will present a series of new radio transmission and digital transmission products in IBC.

Harris will show four new low -power models of the flexive series (50, 150, 300 and 500 W) expanding its range to adapt to the analog and digital transmission requirements of the network. This is ideal for international stations that display multiple transmitters of low FM power through a region or country. Low consumption models bind to a growing range, which also includes several average and high power options that extend from 1 to 40 kW.

Harris will also present its range of Platinum Vax Compact-Class transmitters, designed on Powersmart architecture to minimize the costs of the footprint and consumption. Available in 50, 300 and 600 W, the Platinum Vax range occupies half of the space that its predecessor (in 2RU). Its Integrated APEX M2X exciter allows simple modulation changes to support mobile TV transmission for analog and digital emission standards, including DVB-T, DVB-T2 and T-DMB.
