1.1 Description
The consolidation of the Digital Terrestrial Television and the approaching to
the date scheduled for the “analogue switch-off” have increased the demand for
adapting analogue installations to the digital terrestrial format. This change requires
new and easy procedures for installing and ensuring the quality of the signal.
The TVHUNTER is the solution for the DTT installers, because it allows making
all necessary measurements in a quick way, achieving the best quality of reception.
The TVHUNTER guides the user through three steps: Detection of the transmitter,
identification of the multiplex signal and fine-tuning adjustment in order to obtain the
best quality signal.
The instrument can be adapted in order to work in any geographical area,
because different test points can be configured according to the transmission
parameters of each area. In this way, the installer can use the most appropriate
configuration relating to the place where he is.
The equipment determines if the quality of the signal is enough for reception. The
TVHUNTER processes all the information and gives to the installer just the
information he requires , making his work as easy as possible. In the TVHUNTER , the
measurement that gives an approximate indication of the signal quality is the MER,
which measures the proportion of noise with respect to an ideal signal. The instrument
displays “VBER”, “CBER” and “MER” on the display in graphic bars and alphanumeric
data.
The TVHUNTER has been specially designed to stand rough working conditions.
It includes a back-light display and offers a long battery life.
