Thomson Broadcast Introduces Elite 10 GreenPower, Energy-Adept, Multichannel Repeater

Thomson Broadcast has announced the latest addition to its energy-efficient GreenPower range of transmission systems, the Elite 10 GreenPower multichannel repeater series.
Designed to provide environmentally friendly coverage of transmission gaps in dense urban or mountainous environments, the Elite 10 GreenPower boasts a very competitive cost of investment.
The Elite 10 GreenPower multichannel repeater series joins Thomson Broadcast's line of environmentally efficient GreenPower transmission products, which includes the high-power Elite 1000 GreenPower, the medium-power Elite 100 GreenPower and the Elite 10 GreenPower for low-power applications.
A highly efficient and cost-effective solution for multiplexed networks, the Elite 10 GreenPower multichannel repeater can be configured for up to six-way capacity, including adjacent channels. Available for rapid deployment for indoor or outdoor operation, the repeater is switchable in transposer or gapfiller mode, and delivers low absolute delay for SFN facilities. The unit also features a unique dual-mode echo canceller and 5/15-dB gain isolation ratio so as to meet the constraints of all sites.
The Elite 10 GreenPower's very high selectivity on adjacent analogue and digital channels guarantees correct operation even in dense radio frequency areas, and with its high reception sensitivity, continuous signal transmission is ensured even at extremely low input signal levels. Available as an option is the possibility to configure the repeater with an SNMP agent and Web server, thus offering access to all monitoring and control parameters for remote operation and deep diagnostics.
Nicolas Dallery, President, Thomson Broadcast, said: "From the advanced functionalities like dual echo cancellation, to the dual-mode operation, to the compact format and very fast deployment, every customer criterion has been met in order to make this a reference solution for covering the shadow area in a multiplexed network. This is an important addition to our comprehensive lineup of GreenPower solutions offering the most energy-efficient and full-featured transmission systems on the market."
