Description
Possible configurations to operate R&S transmitters of xx8000 and Tx9 series within one system
Mixed operation of R&S xx8000 and Tx9 transmitters
Resolution
Under specific conditions, it may be necessary to operate the transmitter of the series xx8000 and Tx9 or parts thereof within a system.
The following list shows potential customer requirements in terms of mixed operation and a statement about the possibilities (+) / limitations (-):
1. An existing xx8000 transmitter with NetCCU800 shall be upgraded with new TCE900 exciter.
Possibilities (+)
- xx8000 series transmitters (high power & medium power) are compatible with both, Sx800/801 exciters and TCE900 exciters.
- A specific retrofit kit is available to replace Sx800/801 exciters with TCE900.
2. An existing xx8000 (n+1) system shall be extended by a new Tx9 main transmitter.
Possibilities (+)
- Tx9 transmitters can be integrated as main transmitters into an existing (n+1) system of transmitters xx8000 series. They have to be configured in the NetCCU800 (NSU) as so-called "Simple Tx" via SNMP.
3. An existing xx8000 series transmitter shall be upgraded into a (n+1) system with a Tx9 as the backup transmitter and the TCE900 as the system controller.
Limitations (-)
- Tx9 systems with a TCE900 as (n+1) system controller are not compatible with transmitters of the xx8000 series.
4. An existing Tx9 (n+1) system shall be extended by an older xx8000 main transmitter.
Limitations (-)
- Tx9 systems with a TCE900 as (n+1) system controller are not compatible with transmitters of the xx8000 series.
5. An existing (n+1) system shall handle different TV standards within one system.
Possibilities (+)
- Tx9 (n+1) system support mixed TV standards (e.g. DVB-T & DVB-T2) within the system.
Limitations (-)
- xx8000 (n+1) systems generally do not support mixed TV standards (e.g. DVB-T & DVB-T2) within the system.
