DVB-T/H & DVB-C Modulators with VHF & UHF Up Converters in full production

Alitronika's range of PCI and USB based DVB-T/H and DVB-C modulators with IF & RF outputs are now in full production. The AT2800USB, AT2800PCI DVB-T/H Modulators and the AT2700USB , AT2700PCI DVB-C modulators all support both VHF and UHF up conversion. These devices are capable of modulating Transport Streams from a file on the harddisk or from an external DVB-ASI or DVB-SPI source.
Why these devices are better than that of the others ?
1-Some of these so called modulators are not real DVB-T modulator, but DVB-C modulators with the DVB-T modulation done in software. The result is more than 30% CPU occupancy and requirement for more expensive PC. 
2-As well as PCI version, we offer a USB based version which is most suitable for using with a laptop PC.
3-Alitronika's devices have ASI/SPI input & output so one can modulate from any DVB source, an encoder for example as well being able to monitor the modulated Transport Stream.
4-Our devices have IF outputs and they can be used with a broadcast quality UP-Converter for DVB Transmission.
5-With support for only UHF ( from 400Mhz-862MHz ) other modulators can not even be used to fully test set-up boxes which almost always need the full VHF/UHF range. Alitronika devices have full range of 50 MHz to 1000MHz.
6-Alitronika's devices have RF output with the output power range of +10dBm to -25dBm. 
7-The RF & IF output signals are much better quality. 
8-Alitronika modulators use less than 7 Watts power as a result  they can be run 24hurs/7 days which is needed for long term testing.
9-EMC metal shields ensure that they make no noise for other device and they can be placed next to other cards inside the PC.
10-Others have difficult to use API since they are trying to protect their software based modulator.
11-Alitronika's devices include FREE application software DVSStation2.
12-They are capable of Playing, Recording, DVB-ASI Transport Streams as extra functions.
13-They cost less, simply less, not some impossible to verify claim like " Best price per function per product per.......".

DVB-T Receivers/Recorders with support for 6MHz bandwidth

Alitronika's range of DVB-T receivers/recorders now have support for 6MHz bandwidth used in some countries. The AT80USB/AT800USB/AT800PCI devices support 6, 7 & 8 MHz bandwidths. 

Linux Drivers
Alitronika's PCI products have now support for Linux 2.4 and 2.6 versions drivers and API.

DVSStation2 Supports Hex Editor for TS Editing
Alitronika's powerful application software, DVSStation2, which is included with every Alitronika product FREE of charge, now supports a Hex Editor application to be used for TS Editing.

DVSStation2 Supports Real Time Quick TS Analyser
Alitronika's powerful application software, DVSStation2, which is included with every Alitronika product FREE of charge, now supports a Real Time Quick Transport Stream Analyser. The DVSStation2 is an integrated transport stream player, generator, recorder and monitor and now has an integrated TS analyser function. When working with a lot of MPEG2 Transport streams such as recording or playing back then a simple tool is sufficient to carry out a quick analyses on the transport streams. The Integrated Transport Stream Analyser is such a tool. It produces a list of the PIDs used in the transport stream including the following information:

• Number of Packets total per PID.
• Number of Continuity Counter Errors in total per PID.
• Pid Content Type (PES, PSI, ECM, EMM).
• PSI Table-IDs & Table Name.
• PES Stream IDs, Language and PMT-assigned Stream IDs

Alitronika DVS a Fantastic idea for a Fantastic product
There are small USB so called adapters on the market. These devices are only DVB-ASI input or output devices, not much choice there. But the designers, developers and test engineers often need more than an ASI input or output device. In addition these devices cost far too much for what they do and the cost of the application software, without which the device can not operate, is extra. Alitronika has introduced a range of USB based devices small enough to fit in your hand, which cater for all sorts of DVB inputs and outputs and do not need an external power supply. The Fantastic range consists of 8 devices. DVB-ASI input, DVB-ASI output, DVB-T input, DVB-S input, DVB-C input, DVB-SPI input, DVB-SPI output and a DVB-ASI input + output. These devices, like all other Alitronika devices, include free application software. They cost much less with much better functionality.

Alitronika DVS- When is a good product a great product?
When it comes to the real test that if a product is not just a product but a great one is if potential users are really happy when they hear about it. They have been looking for such a device.
When Alitronika introduced its AT600 ( QPSK ), AT700 ( QAM ) and AT800 ( COFDM) demodulator products, in both PCI and USB versions, we knew they were not just another product but really ground breaking products by the kind of reaction we get from the users. One customer told us he has been looking everywhere for a device to record full transport stream from his Satellite source. There were not any interface devices which enabled the user to record full Transport Streams from a DVB-T, DVB-S or DVB-C into  a file on a harddisk. In addition these devices can be used to playback transport streams from files via DVB-ASI or/and DVB-SPI. They can also convert the incoming DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C transport streams into DVB-ASI or/and DVB-SPI for which every lab has a lot of test equipments. As for the cost, they cost less than a simple DVB-ASI player from most other suppliers. The user friendly application software, DVSStation is included free of charge with every device

Alitronika DVS- A success story
In such a short time from having a handful of products on offer Alitronika has now has 10s of hardware and software products and has become a leading manufacturer of Digital Video Interfacing Products. The IBC Daily referred to us as " Netherlands-based manufacturer of all things to do with digital video interfacing, Alitronika DVS ", which is what we are. We make digital interfacing easy and we know what designers and developer and test engineers need. Where Alitronika goes others follow. A year ago there were either DVB-ASI input or outputs USB based devices on the market. But then Alitronika introduced AT400PCI and AT400USB which combine eight different functions on one board. The AT400PCI and AT400USB not only offer the user the choice of a PCI or USB based system, but also the choice of both Parallel & Serial inputs and output for both DVB and SMPTE. No wonder why manufacturers of digital video products, system integrators and software developers turn to Alitronika devices to provide them with the functionality they need and at the price they can afford. Every device is supplied with a free, user friendly application software.
