AUDEMAT Product:
RADIO ALL IN ONE - Digiplexer 246 with audio backup and FM transmitter option
This “all-in-one” product is an evolution from years of Audemat expertise in this field. Actually, Audemat developed their first “all-in-one” products several years ago: the Digiplexer FMX series (FMX480 and FMX410) those units included an RDS and stereo encoder as well as a digital clipper. Last year Audemat launched at IBC
This unit is the first one in its class available on the market. The 4 band version features 2.8 Giga flops of processing power which allows a sampling frequency of 192 kHz for incoming audio and a 1.5 MHz sampling frequency for the final composite/MPX clipper. The Digiplexer series provides an analog feel to the sound with the accuracy you would expect from a digital processor. “The DSPs in the Audemat DIGIPLEXER 246 feature one of the highest calculation rates available to date, 4 giga-flops.” States Nicolas Boulay, Vice President of Research and development for Audemat.
ECRESO Product:
RADIO ALL IN ONE – NEXT FM with new built-in audio backup and 2/4 band digital audio processor (optional)

...- 2008-06-03 - Product - Audemat presents T3020 and T2005 at BROADCAST ASIA2008
- Combined receiver and DVB-T monitoring unit for ultimate reliability
Audemat announced today that they are introducing at BROADCAST ASIA 2008 booth 8G2-03 two new DVB-T products: T3020 and T2005. The T3020, “integrated DVB front-end”, is an innovative “all-in-one” equipment for remultiplexing. Indeed, the T3020 is able to integrate up to four different receivers (Satellite, terrestrial IP or ASI) and able to multiplex new content coming from these receivers. In order to ensure of the quality of this new transmission, the T3020 integrates all the monitoring functions of the T2005: quality analysis of a TV transmitter, RF and MPEG 2-TS analysis of the parameters at any point of the rebroadcasting chain.
“The T3020 is revolutionary as it offers many features within the same unit at a very attractive price” States Jean-Luc Giraud, Manager of this project. “It performs very accurate monitoring as the unit receives the data from the embedded receivers, the unit is capable of identifying quickly any problems and communicating the information to technical personnel”. States Nicolas Boulay VP of Engineering for Audemat.
Communication:
Access to configuration, measurement results and alarm status are accessible remotely over a TCP/IP network on an Ethernet interface using HTTP, FTP and SNMP protocols. The embedded software can be easily updated remotely through FTP and HTTP. Other interfaces like RS232 and dry contacts (closure on alarms) are standard.
Typical configuration:
A typical T3020 configuration would have the unit receiving national services from satellite and adding regional content received either from satellite or from a local distribution network (optical fiber link,…): the incoming streams are then remultiplexed before broadcasting.
About T2005:
The T2005 is designed for monitoring digital terrestrial transmitters. It performs real-time RF transmission quality measurements, MPEG2 stream analysis according to TR 101 290, MPEG2 services decoding and remote-controlled alarms management through Ethernet TCP/IP interface.

Radio All In one: the first unit of its kind on the market to combine many features
...- 2008-04-28 - Product - Audemat to launch Navigator DVB S/H at NAB 2008
- The first portable equipment on the market for DVB S/H measurement
Bordeaux-Mérignac, France – Wednesday, April 02, 2008, AUDEMAT (www.audemat.com) announced that they are introducing at NAB2008 on their booth N7932 the NAVIGATOR DVB S/H. It is the first test and measurement equipment for lab and field use in DVB-SH. This unit is the result of an R&D from Alcatel-Lucent to develop test and Measurement for DVB-SH. The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH has been designed to perform mobile measurement campaigns for DVB-T, DVB-H and DVB-SH networks and is compatible with S-UMTS and VHF/UHF bands. This portable equipment can be used either in a vehicle moving at normal speed or by a pedestrian (indoors or outdoors). The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH includes a high quality receiver for accurate DVB-SH measurements. When the mobile measurement campaign is finished, the DVB Reader software automatically performs a quality analysis: all the essential parameters are compared to standardized values and an overall quality indicator is generated (Good, Average or Bad). These indicators can also be displayed on a map, so that users can evaluate instantaneously their coverage quality. In addition the NAVIGATOR DVB-SH can be used for installation of DVB-SH terrestrial repeaters that complement satellite coverage. “The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH is the first mobile test and measurement equipment DVB-SH-by-Alcatel approved on the market” States Jean-Baptiste Roux VP of Sales for Audemat. “It is capable of measuring and determining the reception quality of a mobile DVB-H and DVB-SH TV signal”. This unit has been developed in partnership with Teamcast and UDCAST, two DVB specialists (Audemat and Teamcast), part of the Alcatel DVB-SH work group. Audemat used its expertise in mobile Test and Measurement systems to develop a laboratory type equipment that remains rugged and user friendly. This unit targets TELCO operators or manufacturers like Alcatel (France), Orange (France), ICO (USA) or Broadcasters such as RAI (Italy) or SFR (France) that are working on pilot projects for mobile TV broadcasting in DVB-SH. Several DVB-SH deployments are happening around the world at this time. “The NAVIGATOR DVB-SH is the first unit of its kind which combines laboratory grade equipment for transmitter installation and validation of the transmitter’s settings; and mobile test equipment to mesure the quality of reception” state Nicolas Boulay VP R&D for Audemat. “This product is very important for the US market with the coming introduction of DVB-SH by ICO and other operators” States Christophe Poulain, VP of Sales for Audemat Inc. Audemat will be organizing some tests with ICO during the NAB show.
