APRIL 24, 2006, LAS VEGAS, NV, U.S.A. - Axcera, a leading manufacturer and integrator of best-of-breed technology for the television broadcast, mobile media and broadband wireless access industries, today introduced its new Axciter digital ATSC exciter-modulator at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Axciter is a feature-rich ATSC exciter system designed to provide broadcasters with the most advanced exciter available. The Axciter is Axcera's second-generation, fully adaptive digital television exciter-modulator system and the successor to the company's industry-leading DT2B, the industry's first fully adaptive exciter.
The new Axciter offers 100% digital signal processing (DSP) technology, allowing it to evolve as broadcast requirements change. The Axciter is designed for simple field upgrades to new operating modes, such as DTx slave, EVSB, Watermark, or even other yet to be adopted ATSC enhancements, by inserting a USB flash drive into one of the three available USB ports and executing the upgrade through the front panel GUI. This ensures operability and optimal performance well into the future.
All Axciters include Axcera adaptive correction technology (AXACT), the newest version of Axcera's industry-first continuously adaptive linear and non-linear pre-correction technology, as well as DTVision integrated DTV signal analysis, which samples the transmitter output and measures critical transmitter performance parameters, replacing expensive test equipment.
For high reliability, the Axciter uses a Linux operating system and dual processors, with the mission critical ATSC signal generation handled independently of the adaptive correction, graphical user interface, and DTVision signal analysis system. Thanks to the high performance Linux computer, a complete transmitter system can be fully equalized in an amazing two minutes.
The Axciter is available in any new Axcera ATSC transmitter, or as a retrofit package for existing transmitters from any manufacturer. To learn more, visit www.axcera.com or stop by NAB booth C8519 in the Central hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, April 24 through 27.
