 Expansion of our
digital TV transmitter family
Once again, NEC sets the standard for the industry, with its compact, innovative design.

The product of many years of experience

NEC leads the industry in high-power solid-state transmitters. Now we’ ve taken the next step — employing highly advanced signal processing
technology and design techniques that enhance reliability. We’ ve successfully developed low-power digital TV transmitting equipment that
otherwise maintains the characteristics and superior performance of our highly popular high-power transmitters. The DTL-10 Series extends
NEC’s impressive lineup from low- to high-power operation.

Perpetual innovation

No need for channel-specific components

The DTL-10 Series’ frequency-agile design is highlighted by a synthesized local oscillator that covers the entire UHF band, making
channel-specific components unnecessary. All DTL-10 transmitters are produced from, and supported by, one common set of modules,
enhancing cost-effectiveness from purchase to installation and support. Yet another advantage offered by the DTL-10 Series is its incorporation
of an N+1 common standby system configuration, free of channel-specific components.

DTL-10 series lineup

Transmitter
The DTL-10 series transmitter directly converts standard TS input signals into an RF output with a power range of 30W to 1.6kW. This capability
enables the transmitter to help bridge the digital TV coverage gap, and represents a significant step toward the ideal digital television network.

Re-Transmitter (Option for DVB-T)

The re-transmitter features error correction during demodulation of off-air broadcast input signals. These signals are then remodulated onto a
different frequency, making a multi-frequency network possible.

DM-3000 EXCITER

Exciter
The compact DM-3000 Series Digital Exciter is packed with NEC’s state-of-the-art technology. A synthesizer tuned to all UHF-band signals
enables all-band direct conversion to a RF output. Higher or lower bit rates are modified to usable bit rates for flexible bit-rate adaptability.
Using the MIP created by the SFN adapter, seamless ASI switching can be performed. A truly impressive characteristic of the DM-3000 Series
Digital Exciter is its ability to work in conjunction with other NEC transmitters as a signal processor — which greatly reduces the necessity for
spare units while simplifying maintenance.

By changing the exciter to NEC's DM-4000A Digital Exciter, the DTL-10 Series is able to broadcast in DVB-T2.

Line-up : DM-3000A for DVB-T/H

DM-3000C for ATSC

Adaptive Digital Corrector (ADC)

The ADC automatically generates correction factors of non-linearity distortion and updates the correction table without interrupting program
service. Optimum signal quality and service coverage are maintained, protected from the effects of ambient temperature, aging and other
factors. The ADC is installable from the front of the exciter and can be used to generate the correction factor for preset correction.
Furthermore, the ADC is capable of analyzing feedback signals from the TX output, including intermodulation level, MER value and other
graphical data. And automatic adjustment of the IMP/MER values greatly reduces the time required for maintenance.

Power Amplifier (PA)

The DTL-10 Series power amplifier employs LDMOS (Lateral Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductors) output devices. The highly efficient
broadband solid-state amplifier offers high linearity and superior reliability, along with four PA configurations — DLP30 (30W), DLP60 (60W),
DLP120 (120W) and DLP240-S (240W). Each amplifier features wideband capability, covering UHF band frequencies from 470 – 862MHz, while
keeping gain levels constant. A cooling system and power supply module are integrated into the unit. Furthermore, protection and monitoring
circuits are built-in.

240W output amplifier (DLP240-S)

Remote Control/Monitoring
The DM-3000 exciter is equipped with an IP network interface which allows the checking of signal quality via a web browser. High-level,
cost-efficient maintenance is possible as special measurement equipment is not required.
