Munich, Germany. Rohde & Schwarz reports that a DVB-T2 pilot project with HEVC-coded programs was started in the Berlin region just about one year ago. Rohde & Schwarz is said it participating in the testbed with its R&S AVHE100 headend solution and latest generation transmitters. The company is now making its R&S ETL TV analyzer fit for supporting the HEVC standard.
At IBC 2015 September 11-15 in Amsterdam, Rohde & Schwarz will present a technology preview in hall 7, booth E25. The demonstration will show how the R&S ETL analyzes DVB-T2 signals in detail, detects HEVC-coded video signals, and makes them available over IP interfaces for external decoding and picture display. This allows users to easily detect irregularities, failures or quality variations over time.
The company reports that a high-end instrument such as the R&S ETL TV analyzer is the suitable choice for tests in transmitter production and during transmitter commissioning, installation, and servicing, as well as for terrestrial TV coverage measurements. It can be used to deliver reproducible, high-quality analysis of TV and sound broadcasting signals as needed at the transmitter site or for quality assurance in transmitter test bays. As an all-in-one platform, the R&S ETL combines the functionality of a video and MPEG-2 transport stream analyzer, an FM sound broadcasting signal analyzer, and a generator for analog video and sound broadcasting signals and for MPEG-2 transport streams. Its ample functionality and flexible configuration make the R&S ETL a universal reference receiver for the analysis of TV signals.
