Mobile TV technology allows broadcasters to entertain, educate and inform viewers wherever they are. ATSC M/H is the mobile/handheld technology standard being developed by the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee), with adoption scheduled for 2009. Axcera's ATSC M/H solution consists of an ATSC multiplexer to combine terrestrial and mobile content into a single transport stream feeding an ATSC broadcast transmitter. ATSC M/H service can be broadcast from a single transmitter, but to improve coverage to handheld devices and in-building signal penetration, it is advantageous to broadcast from multiple transmitters configured in a Distributed Transmission System. Axcera is an industry leader in mobile TV transmission solutions and a pioneer in Digital Transmission Systems.
