Many companies will be debuting products at IBC this September, and Channelot, a manufacturer of low-power mobile TV and digital TV transmitters, a member of the RAD Group, UDcast, and a provider of wireless IP broadcast solutions is no exception. They will be unveiling the Channelot 100i, the first full-featured DVB-T/H micro-transmission station with an embedded UDcast iSplicer local content distribution adapter. The Channelot 100i enables mobile TV operators and broadcasters to efficiently distribute local and national content packages to a large network of compact and highly cost-effective low-power transmission sites.

Channelot 100i improves the comprehensive features of the Channelot 100, providing an even higher level of functional integration in the same low footprint. The built-in iSplicer eliminates the need for wasteful stream duplication that would otherwise make region-specific content delivery too expensive. The combined one-box solution constitutes the full solution for the mobile TV transmission site.

The Channelot 100 micro-transmission station implements a full-featured DVB-T/H low-power transmission site in a single box. UDcast’s iSplicer technology ensures multiple transmitters can operate in a single frequency network mode, and reduces the cost of satellite content distribution because all the content is in one single satellite carrier. At the remote regional site only the relevant channels for each market are broadcast to the mobile receivers ensuring users get an attractive and relevant TV offering and broadcasters can offer their advertisers more addressable audiences.

“We are convinced that low power transmission sites will become the cornerstone of large-scale mobile TV networks,” said Arik Keshet, CEO and founder, Channelot. “We are very happy to team with UDcast, a proven leader in its category, to bring this compelling end-to-end solution to market.”
