theibcdaily Transmitter launch marks anniversary Nautel By Michael Burns
The digital LPTV line has been expanded with the newly launched 250W NT250 transmitter. Nautel is also marking 45 years in business at the show.
Operating in the 470 - 810 MHz UHF spectrum, the NT Series range provides a platform for low power TV broadcasting, retransmission or gap-filler applications.

Also available, as an option, is the enhanced adaptive pre-correction technology, Optipower. This allows optimisation of transmitter power efficiency and transmitter MER (Modulation Error Ratio) performance, as well as real- time spectrum analysis. The NT250 supports major digital transmission standards including DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC and IDSB-Tb. Other products in the NT Series include the NT150, with digital power output of 2 - 150W and the NT500, a 5 RU unit with digital power output of 10 - 500W. “We’ve been pleased with the market acceptance of our LPTV transmitters during the past year,” said Nautel's new

For the first time at IBC, Australian company General Dynamics Mediaware is showcasing its next- generation ad insertion product InStream Splice with frame accurate HEVC supporting 4K Ultra HD, plus InStream Play, a new built-in automation layer. Also on show is the company’s portfolio of compressed domain products designed for broadcasters, video providers and media companies. InStream Splice is
described as a unified end- to-end playout and ad insertion solution that demonstrates how splicing in the compressed domain can be delivered at the quality level demanded by successful operators. It is the newest addition to the General Dynamics Mediaware family of broadcast solutions, and is said to provide fully featured, realtime control platforms for operators of local or edge deployments to coordinate time delay, advertisement and logo insertions for local and regional TV channels.

Edit are General Dynamics Mediaware’s MPEG-2 and H.264 editing solution for
capturing, editing and creating file-based content from digital compressed, live broadcasts. It provides, says the company, a step-up in editing speed while delivering content to audiences faster without transcoding, and at the highest quality possible, requiring significantly less
hardware than traditional capture servers. General Dynamics Mediaware products are said to enable alternate media workflows that provide lower total cost of ownership across multiple platforms for satellite, direct to the home, cable, direct TV, IPTV and OTT.
Designed to easily interface with currently deployed environments, the company says it makes it easy for broadcast and media distribution facilities to make the move from baseband to an all-IP workflow with confidence. 1.A06
