Acrodyne Introduces a Totally New IOT Based Transmitter Product Line - The Quantum Series -
Acrodyne Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer and installer of television transmission systems, will introduce the Quantum Line of UHF television transmitters during NAB. Designed for high reliability with simple, elegant solutions and appropriate use of advanced technologies. Serving both analog and digital applications, with power levels up to 280kW analog and 120kW digital, Acrodyne's "New Technology" IOT-equipped UHF Quantum Line was conceived by broadcasters and designed by the EMMY award-winning talent that invented the technology. This new line of product incorporates field proven advanced solid state technology from Rohde & Schwarz.
New Technology…Designed to take full advantage of the latest generation of high power Inductive Output Tubes (IOT) available from all major tube manufacturers, this product exclusively features plug-in technology and tube removal allowing easy exchange of IOT's using built in IOT hoist assembly, without circuit assembly disconnection.
Dependable and Serviceable…The cabinet has a positive pressure cooling system that has minimized the number of rotating fans, using a single high reliability blower for improved system dependability. Packaged close to the IOT itself, located within the high volume cabinet cooling plenum, are the fully accessible "hot-swap" LDMOS driver amplifiers.
Rugged and Reliable…All IOT related power supplies are linear, leading to high reliability. Application and removal of high voltage is controlled by a novel solid-state step start system which also provides rapid removal of AC to the HVPS in the event of crowbar conditions or HV faults. Both system and HPA controllers are Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based. This equipment was chosen because of its proven track record in hostile industrial environments. The logic structure is in ladder form and consequently is easily understood.
Practical…Analog meters are used for a rapid indication of critical transmitter conditions. More in depth information is available via alpha/numeric menu driven displays. All adjustments and calibrations are carried out digitally via the controller front panel.
Advanced Flexibility…The exciter system is the most advanced available today, and supports all global standards, analog and digital. Digital signal processing is used to create and correct both analog and digital modulated spectrums. Full "wrap around" correction effectively eliminates the linear and non-linear distortion without operator intervention.
Acrodyne Industries, Inc., the operating subsidiary of Acrodyne Communications, Inc., and a publicly traded company (NASDAQ:ACRO) has been an established and respected manufacturer of television broadcast equipment for over three decades. Acrodyne is a leading producer of technically advanced, high quality television transmitters.
