Navigator CMMB is Industry’s First Professional Mobile Metering Unit
For Chinese Digital TV MarketBordeaux, France, 29th July 2009, - Audemat (www.audemat.com ), the broadcast monitoring specialist, will be launching the new Navigator CMMB for the expert measurement of Digital TV to handheld devices throughout China at this year’s BirTV exhibition, 26th-29th August in Beijing.
Based on Audemat’s highly successful Navigator range, this new unit is a state-of-the-art mobile metering system that enables wide scale coverage analysis for CMMB networks.
With the ongoing roll-out of CMMB by the China Satellite Mobile Broadcasting Corporation (CSMBC), the Audemat’s Navigator system enables broadcasters to verify actual coverage results, ensure high quality content is received by the target audience and validates compliance with all parameters established in the CMMB standard.
Real-time measurements such as RF Levels, S/N, LDPC Error & Total and BLER are displayed complete with GPS coordinates. An optional Test & Measurement package is also available for in-depth testing of high level RF, Shoulders, MER, Spectrum or Constellation analysis.
Supplied in a lightweight travel case, the Navigator CMMB is a fully portable unit complete with a GPS receiver, antenna and optional battery pack to enable measurement campaigns to be conducted on-the-go; on foot or in a vehicle.
In addition to real-time display, results are automatically logged and can be downloaded to a PC on completion of the campaign for further analysis. The data can be easily exported in a variety of different formats for display on mapping tools such as Google Earth, MapPoint and most popular simulation software where it can be compared with predicted coverage.
AT BirTV, the Navigator CMMB will be demonstrated alongside Audemat’s extensive range of monitoring equipment for DAB, DVB and TV as well as their new “All in One” Transmitter solution, the NextFM. The NextFM features a 20 or 100W Transmitter together with a digital audio processor, stereo encoder, RDS encoder, embedded audio backup, I/O remote control and TCP/IP connectivity – all in one 3U enclosure.
Also shown will be the highly successful range of IP audio codec solutions from APT.
Audemat will be exhibiting together with their Chinese distributor TopTech at BirTV on booth #1239
