DTU-236A 1 GHz RF Probe for QAM/8-VSB/ASI
The DTU-236A RF Probe and RFXpert software provide a comprehensive solution for real-time analysis and monitoring of RF signals -- including QAM A/B/C, 8-VSB, and NTSC RF channels up to 1 GHz -- with a small, lightweight, and rugged design that is fully USB-powered. The RFXpert software can be loaded by the end user on a PC or laptop to work in conjunction with the DTU-236A RF Probe. RFXpert provides complete RF analysis and logging including level, MER, BER, constellation, and spectrum, with real-time analysis, recording, and decoding of MPEG2/H.264 transport streams. The software includes easy-to-read spectral displays, both constellation and eye diagram displays, and the ability to disable 8-VSB tap equalization to view the uncorrected signal characteristics.

DSA 1490 CATV/SAT/TV Touch-screen Meter
The DSA 1490 is an all-format TV/RF signal analyzer that offers today's engineer a complete portable tool for resolving digital video broadcast, transport, and reception challenges. The DSA 1490 is an RF signal testing solution for cable QAM channels, DVB-S/S2 satellite signals, 8-VSB broadcast channels, and ASI MPEG streams. A highly capable spectrum analyzer and automated satellite finder, the DSA 1490 provides powerful digital TV/RF analysis including MER, BER, PER, EVM, noise margin, constellation, and spectral analysis tests. A pass or fail quality indication simplifies interpretation. Additionally, the analyzer displays modulation type, FEC value, encryption type, MPEG services, video/audio program IDs, and MPEG format descriptors for advanced RF and MPEG signal analysis. Featuring a large 7-inch touch-screen, the portable and battery-operated DSA 1490 also includes full-screen video and audio decoding for MPEG2/H.264 signals.

TXS Series Transcoding Solutions
Sencore continues to improve and expand its line of best-in-class transcoding solutions for real-time video distribution, multi-screen adaptive bitrate streaming, and file-based transcoding workflows.
With the release of the new 2.0 software/firmware package, the TXS 3600 multi-service broadcast transcoding and transrating platform now supports a rich set of audio transcoding features for all popular audio formats including Dolby(R) Digital and Digital Plus, MPEG-2, HE-AAC, and AAC-LC.
The all-new TXS 8x00 series products include the TXS 8400 file-based transcoder, the TXS 8600 live streaming transcoder, and the TXS 8000 streaming manager system. The TXS 8400 provides high-powered faster-than-real-time encoding and transcoding of file-based assets for VoD, nPVR, and OTT on-demand applications. The TXS 8600 offers high-density real-time multi-profile encoding and transcoding for live adaptive bitrate video delivery to multiple screens. Both products support all popular codecs, containers, and adaptive bitrate protocols such as MS Smooth Streaming, Apple(R) HLS, Adobe(R) HDS, MPEG-2, H.264, and more. The TXS 8000 streaming manager and 8200 stream packager round out the solution set to provide redundancy control, system management, and edge-located chucking and packaging services.
