Nautel Brings New TV Transmitters to NAB 03 Apr 2013

Nautel Limited, one of the world's largest broadcast transmitter manufacturers, brought digital low power TV transmission to NAB with the introduction of the NT150 and NT500.

Nautel's new low power UHF transmitters combine an advanced software defined modulator with ASI, SMPTE310M and TSoIP Gigabit Ethernet inputs, amplifier, Nautel's industry leading AUI web interface, spectrum analyzer, BER measurement and both linear and adaptive pre-correction all in a compact enclosure. Operating in the UHF Wide Band spectrum (470 810 MHz), the NT Series products are designed with robust LDMOS components and support major worldwide digital TV transmission standards. An attractive platform for low power TV broadcasting, retransmission or gap-filler applications, the units are backed by Nautel's renowned worldwide support.

The series includes the 4 RU NT150, with digital power output of 2 150 Watts and the NT500, a 5 RU unit with digital power output of 10 500 Watts.

There are two reasons why a radio transmitter company is entering the TV market at this point in time, said Peter Conlon, Nautel President and CEO. First, many of our radio customers are also TV broadcasters, especially in the international market. They have long valued the quality of the Nautel product and our commitment to customer support. We are introducing this product line because they asked us to. Second, our software-rich approach allows us to bring valuable features and instrumentation such as built-in spectrum analyzer and BER measurement that we believe will change what customers expect in a TV transmitter.

We're excited about the opportunity to serve customers in this new space, said Chuck Kelly, Nautel Director of Sales. With these new products, we are offering television customers the control, innovation and support that radio broadcasters have come to expect from Nautel. We are looking forward to bringing a wealth of new capabilities to TV customers around the world.

In more than 44 years of operation, Nautel has never discontinued support on any product it has introduced. All Nautel transmitters are backed with a four-year warranty. More information on the NT Series can be found at NautelTV.com.
