Platinum™ HTEL
Low- to Medium-Power VHF ATSC Digital Transmitters
The Platinum™ HTEL series of low- to medium-power VHF ATSC digital transmitters utilizes the same field-proven amplifier modules as the high-power Platinum Series® of digital VHF TV transmitters. The Platinum HTEL series offers high performance and field-proven reliability in a compact package.
Low-power HTEL systems utilize a single cabinet to house the Apex M2X™ exciter, control system and amplifiers. Medium-power systems use a control cabinet and one or two power amplifier cabinets. The control cabinet houses the system controller, exciter, monitoring, control panel, an optional second exciter and a driver with automatic changeover.
Features
- World-class Apex M2X, the market-leading ATSC exciter
- Real-time adaptive correction (RTAC™) for continuous automatic correction, ensuring optimum performance at all times
- Field-proven, ultra-reliable Platinum Series amplifier modules for unsurpassed system dependability
- Field-repairable MOSFET amplifiers for a long life and low cost of ownership
- Positive-pressure air cooling system with patented techniques, ensuring the lowest FET junction temperatures and highest MTBF
- On-air replaceable modules for on-air servicing and increased system availability
- Reliable and simple control architecture for outstanding reliability and simple serviceability
- Linear power supplies, providing excellent isolation for rock solid performance
- Backed by broadcasting’s most extensive factory support, including 24-hour technical assistance, around-the-clock parts and comprehensive training
