DVB-H/DVB-T Navigator

Portable Mobile TV Network Analyzer

DESCRIPTION

The DVB-H/DVB-T NAVIGATOR has been designed to perform mobile measurement campaigns for DVB-T and DVB-H networks. This handheld equipment can be used either when moving in a vehicle at normal speed or by a pedestrian (indoor or outdoor). The campaign can be dedicated to a single channel (frequency) or for multichannel at the same time.

The main functionalities for measuring are the following:

Real-time measurement with value displayed simultaneously
Measurement storage and export for off-line analysis (for DVB-T MPEG and DVB-H)
Recording of measurement data on DVB-H NAVIGATOR equipment
Automatic GPS display and recording on DVB-H NAVIGATOR equipment

The DVB-H/DVB-T NAVIGATOR is compatible with all DVB-H/DVB-T broadcasting systems and provides real-time, centralized control of broadcasting signal quality featuring multi-layer protocol analysis (RF, DVB-T, DVB-H, IP) enabling operators to ensure maximum network uptime, improve user satisfaction and reduce operating costs.

The unique DVB-H analyzing functionalities also make it also an ideal reference receiver, laboratory tester and development tool for mobile TV equipment manufacturers and service designers.

The NAVIGATOR incorporates LCD screen enabling direct configuration, as well as friendly full-size remotely accessible graphical user interface, designed to reduce the cost of maintenance for large commercial-scale networks, as well as to accelerate the time of development and testing for all new DVB-H products and services in R&D labs.

The input signal is taken both from "off-the-air" or ASI interface, therefore the DVB-H NAVIGATOR can be installed directly within the transmission chain or any remote location, where the real reception conditions can be met..
