The new R&S BTC broadcast test center from Rohde & Schwarz (Muenchen Germany) provides a complete testing environment for nearly all audio, video and multimedia applications – in a single device. The RF reference signal generator generates RF signals for all global TV and broadcasting standards and simulates transmissions. The generator can also internally analyze the audio/video functions of DUTs in real-time. The modular design provides a high degree of scalability, allowing the R&S BTC to be configured for any customer requirement. Features include:

• Signal generation, DUT embedding and video/audio analysis while simultaneously determining the picture failure point (PFP).
• Fast, convenient and reproducible objective picture quality assessment.     
• Two separate real-time signal paths, each with a modulation bandwidth of 160 MHz.
