PROMAX launches unique US TV Explorer for digital broadcast, cable and satellite

PROMAX ELECTRONICS recently introduced a new portable analyzer, the PRODIG-5B US TV EXPLORER, that for the first time can measure terrestrial, cable and satellite DTV signals in America. This new unit allows PROMAX to bring a unique solution to the market that combines existing spectrum analyzer capabilities together with advanced DTV measurements and signal demodulation.

8-VSB measurements in the field strength meterDesigned to meet the needs of professional installers, broadcasters, cable networks and satellite operators, the US TV EXPLORER is compatible with 8VSB, QAM and QPSK (DVB-S and DSS) as well as analog NTSC signals. Moreover, it contains an MPEG-2 and AC3 demodulator that makes it possible to display transport stream information and watch digital channels.

It allows users to perform detailed spectrum analysis, display all measurements in one screen and watch TV picture.

In addition, the AUTO-ID feature searches for channels, detects digital transmission parameters automatically and reads network identification data from the MPEG-2 transport stream.
