Media Broadcast has selected a range of products from Norwegian media transport solutions provider Nevion for the new broadcast distribution network ARD-Disnet.

The AVQ1022 calculates an SFN echo profile and plots it, using a rich set of instrumental tools including relative and absolute measurements of profile peaks using cross-bar or markers on an automatic or fixed scale. Understanding the echo profile of signals in an SFN network allows broadcast engineers to adjust and align local delays in individual transmitters to optimise overall network performance and maximize reception.

CEO Øyvind Hansen of Tromsø Bilstereo AS has spent a lot of time working on installing DAB in customer cars. He thinks DAB is better than its reputation, but it's up to the listeners' wallet on how well it will work. "To get DAB in the car, you do not necessarily need to spend a lot of money. We want to deliver solutions that are most integrated into the car," he says.
