Designed to seamlessly integrate with the Harris family of DTV transmitters, Monitor plus allows broadcasters to maintain and troubleshoot RF signal quality, transport stream integrity and program audio and video signals. In the initial phases of DTV conversion, our customers have been focused on the big ticket RF items needed to get on the air, like towers, antennas and transmitters. Broadcasters have a compelling need for complete ATSC test equipment. The Harris Monitor plus system fills the void by providing everything a broadcaster needs to monitor the station's signal quality at the site in one complete package.
Broadcasters also have the option to add a high-definition waveform monitor.
Adrick recommends that broadcasters who are still working to get on the air factor a DTV transmission monitoring system into their complete digital system installation plan. Based on our experience, it makes the most sense. There are so many equipment decisions to make in this process. The rack is even styled to match the transmitter. Harris' Broadcast Communications Division is the leading supplier of radio and television products, systems and services, serving broadcasters in more than 150 countries.
