anufacturers of electronic
equipment can now use
a single instrument to test the
compliance of their products with
HD+ speciﬁcations.
The integration of the HD+ test
suites into the R&S BTC reference
signal generator with audio/
video analysis functions offers
manufacturers of HD+ receivers a
new and comprehensive solution
for development and certification.
Developed by SES Platform
Services GmbH, the test suites
provide a defined environment
for testing compliance and selfcertification.
The solution covers all functions
of the HD+ speciﬁcations, allowing

The Rohde & Schwarz Broadcast
Test Center (BTC)

HD+ consumer electronics to be
fully tested. When combined with
the test suites, the R&S BTC can
also be used to perform tests,
regardless of location and without

The HD+ test suites are available
for HD+ receivers, HD+ SmartTV
receivers and for the HD+ module.

The R&S BTC solution allows
users to perform automated selfcertiﬁcation tests with just a single
instrument. The R&S BTC and the
HD+ test suites allow manufacturers
to minimise test times and costs,
ensuring a good end user experience
for their customers.
The R&S BTC supports all
services included in the DVB-S2
standard (broadcast, professional,
interactive and DSNG).
For the ﬁrst time, R&S say that
it is possible to simulate the entire
satellite transmission chain with
uplink and downlink as well as
IMUX/OMUX characteristics.

USA: IHSE USA has introduced
a new family of ﬁbre/cat-x media
converters and cross-repeaters.
The new 485 series was speciﬁcally
designed for applications requiring
cross conversion of cat-x to ﬁbre,
repeating cat-x or ﬁbre interconnects
for longer distances, or connecting
redundant path operations for
zero down-time operations.
These cost effective media
converters/repeaters can be used
with IHSE USA's vario, compact, and
enterprise line of switch products.
