TeamCast releases a new software version for its Power4-T2 DVB-T2 Modulator – now supporting up to 8 Multi-PLP Inputs

TeamCast, the renowned leader in digital modulation technologies for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), Mobile TV and Satellite Transmission, has released a new software version for its DVB-T2 modulator – the market-leading Power4-T2 – enabling it to support up to 8 parallel PLP inputs.

The newly released S130 software is already available and provides the capability to support multi-service layered modulation (multi-PLP), allowing the processing of 8 parallel PLP inputs. This new feature brings enhanced signal robustness and flexibility in a wide range of possible business models. Combined with the ability to perform SFN MISO transmissions in full compliance with the DVB-T2 standard, it offers a strong leverage for DTT broadcasters willing to operate emerging DVB-T2 networks.

Making this key feature available, TeamCast follows its DVB-T2 strategy to provide innovative technological solutions for its customers, helping them to adapt their offer to the new market requirements led by next generation of terrestrial broadcasting.

“This new release has been designed to meet DVB-T2 early adopters’ expectations to evaluate the performance of this second-generation standard for DTT even in most demanding conditions. The implementation of multi-service layered modulation (Multi-PLP) and SFN-MISO (Multiple inputs, Single Output) brings key benefits to our customers and confirms TeamCast leading position in DVB-T2” says Emily DUBS, Product Manager at TeamCast.
