The new transmitters are based on the company’s compact, power-efficient transmission philosophy to low-power VHF applications for ATSC and worldwide terrestrial standards.
Harris claimed that the Platinum VAX Compact Class series is a solution for any VHF analog or digital power requirements.
The new series is suited for low-power transmitting stations and gap filler applications, and is useful for covering specific regions in extended markets or difficult terrains.
Platinum VAX Compact Class transmitters cover low-power VHF transmissions in a 2RU chassis design, with rack savings of up to 50%, compared to previous-generation transmitters of equivalent power levels.
The new series integrates Harris Broadcast Apex M2X exciters to enable simple modulation changes and analog-to-digital upgrades.
It supports ATSC, DVB-T/T2 and ISDB-Tb among other standards, including DAB radio.
