FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AXCERA TO INTRODUCE NEW DTV PRODUCTS FOR COMMUNITY BROADCASTERS AND TRANSLATOR OPERATORS

APRIL 13, 2007, LAWRENCE, PA, 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 announced that it will introduce two new DTV transmitter products designed specifically for Community Broadcasters and translator operators.

The new DR8A-R ATSC remodulator and Innovator CX compact low power ATSC transmitter/translator will make their debuts at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show, April 16th through 19th, at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The new DR8A-R is a broadcast quality ATSC receiver/modulator designed to convert nearly any analog translator or transmitter into a regenerative DTV translator. The DR8A-R incorporates the most advanced ATSC receiver technology, using input signal equalization that recognizes and corrects for both leading and lagging multi-path interference, even if the interference is equal in level to the desired receive signal. This greatly simplifies system setup and ensures robust performance even in weak signal areas or when high levels of multi-path are present. Standard linear and non-linear digital pre-correction compensate for distortions in both the output amplifier and the mask filter, ensuring excellent overall translator system performance and optimal signal coverage.

Also new at the show, the Innovator CX is a compact and economical low power transmitter that can be configured as an ATSC transmitter or regenerative translator to meet the DTV needs of most any LPTV or translator operator. This unit offers many of the same features found in higher power transmitters, such as digital linear and non-linear pre-correction, a frequency agile exciter, broadband amplifiers and even an available SNMP/Web browser interface. The Innovator CX is available at power levels up to 50W ATSC in a single, compact 5 1/4" rack-mount package and up to 250W ATSC with an available external amplifier module.
