SCREEN SERVICE INTRODUCES THE LATEST SDT ARK-6 SERIES

SDT ARK-6 is The Multiple Configuration Flexible Hardware Platform.
It is a Universal Driver with Multiple Front-End Boards.

SDT ARK-6 SERIES. All configurations
Available hardware configurations: Satellite Receiver with or without DEC with CAM, Regenerative Transmitter, Analog A/V Input, Transmitter only.

With the introduction on the market of the first digital modulator in 2001, Screen Service has been the promoter of digital signal of first generation (DVB-T). This advantage permitted to Screen Service to take part to the preliminary study of DVB-T2 standard from the very beginning, directly from the Switzerland Consortium (dvb.org). In 2008 at IBC Exhibition in Amsterdam, Screen Service and BBC Network (together with Arqiva, the BBC’s carrier in UK), introduced on the market the first DVB-T2 modulator. Thenceforth Screen Service optimized the SDT ARK-6 product and sold hundreds of transmitters all over the world. At nowadays, Screen Service is one of the few worldwide company who sell DVB-T2 transmitters; just think that, only in 2011, we shipped to Arqiva 700 pieces. The transmitter (available in the version regenerative transmitter, with SAT receiver, with or without DEC and CAM, with analog A/V input, transmitter only, from 2.5Wrms up to 30KWrms, air or liquid cooled) is completed by a wide range of Headend (Enconders HD/SD, Multiplexer and DVB-T2 Gateway), Professional DVB-T/T2 receiver with ETR290 analysis.

SDT ARK-6 SERIES
The New SDT ARK-6 Series is the result of years of research and represents the state of the art of the worldwide transmitter technology.We call it UNIVERSAL DRIVER because of its incredible capability to modulate in all schemes, just uploading a proper software package.It is perfect for both international broadcasters which have business in several countries to increase manageability of investment through reduction of transmitter types and national broadcasters, due for its versatility in operation modes and configuration. In fact it can be used as a transmitter, an heterodyne transposer, a regenerative transmitter and Single Frequency Echo Canceller (perfect for Single Frequency Network), all in a single hardware.ARK-6 UNIVERSAL DRIVER is resilient to future evolutions of technology and standardization: this platform guarantees a perfect upgrade path for new modulation schemes that the researchers will delivery. Besides ARK-6 UNIVERSAL DRIVER already implements DVB-T/T2, PAL, ATSC/MH, NTSC, ISDB-T modulations.The SDT ARK-6 allows selection of transmission modes in various ways: remotely, using a dry contact; via SNMP commands; via TCP/IP, using the Web graphic interface; or even via a dedicated command inserted into the transport stream.Functional interfaces are available for total remote control of the apparatus by means of serial protocols or TCP/IP ports. Thanks to the internal Web server the apparatus can be easily monitored and configured and updated using a LAN connection and a standard Web browser. More over, the built-in SNMP agent allows full automated remote control.

Portfolio also includes Digital transposer with automatic echo-cancelling for iso-frequency repeaters (gap-fillers), allowing complete coverage of 'dark areas' in urban and hillside situations.
