....for the deployment of environmentally friendly, cost-effective terrestrial transmission networks. For an important contribution to environmentally friendly broadcasting, Thomson Broadcast has once again revolutionized the television transmitter industry with the Futhura Plus, a transmitter that harnesses advanced drain modulation technology to achieve unprecedented energy efficiency of up to 35 percent while guaranteeing uncompromised reliability. This new technology introduces sophisticated drain voltage modulation with the latest generation of transistors to deliver dramatic savings to broadcasters. Thomson's new Futhura Plus transmitter line has already won Broadcast Engineering's Pick Hit Award and TV Technology's STAR Award.

Thomson's environmentally friendly range of GreenPower transmitters is enhanced with the new medium-power range Elite 100 GreenPower series. Delivering the highest efficiency on the market in its class, the Elite 100 GreenPower is the optimal choice for low CO2, low-OPEX operation in initial digital deployments, or to extend coverage in tandem with high-power Elite 1000 GreenPower transmitters. The Elite 100 GreenPower is a flexible, true plug-and-play solution that adapts to meet any field requirement.

The Elite 1000 GreenPower Transmitter Line
UHF transmitter features 50-V LDMOS technology and boasts an output power of up to 9.6 kW DVB per unit, with an energy consumption savings of up to 15 percent over the previous Elite transmitter series. Using Thomson real-time Digital Adaptive Pre-correction (DAP), the Elite 1000 GreenPower line provides leading-edge DTV transmission efficiency, optimized output power, exemplary signal quality, and high redundancy.

Already proven and on air in the U.K. for the World Cup, the new DVB-T2 exciter is for broadcasters migrating to DVB-T2, or for digital providers wanting to upgrade to DVB-T2 for greater bandwidth efficiency. DVB-T/T2 dualcast is the in-house design exciter ready for any future upgrade. An embedded SNMP agent and a Web server are included to monitor the equipment.
