GATESAIR Maxiva "ULXTwith PowerSmart* 3D

High Efficiency UHF Liquid-Cooled TV Transmitter

:The GatesAir Maxiva™ ULXT with PowerSmart® 3D is a liquid-cooled transmitter

that powers over-the-air delivery across the UHF television spectrum. Built on the

next generation of GatesAir's groundbreaking green transmission architecture,

Maxiva transmitters offer today's digital broadcaster compact, energy-efficient

solutions to reliably deliver rich, high-quality multi-format content to viewers at

home or on the move, and reduce Total Cost of Ownership.

iMaxiva ULXT utilizes the latest 50 volt LDMOS amplifier devices, new compact high-efficiency powersupplies and the Maxiva M2X™ exciter with RTAC™. It provides today's broadcaster with unparalleledpower efficiency and outstanding signal performance. In fact, a single ULXT PowerSmart 3D

amplifier model covers the entire frequency range of UHF band IV/V, without the need for

adjustment or tuning of any kind.9 9ST ET

This powerful blend of new technologies provides best-in-class performance with respect to

transmitter power efficiency, physical size, performance and features. The modular designallows for simpler installation, infrequent maintenance requirements together with dramatically

reduced total cost of ownership over the life of the transmitter.

The fully broadband UHF transmitterwith the highest efficiency on the market.

The all-new design includes these energysaving components to reduce Total Cost of

Ownership:

PowerSmart 3D amplifier technology, forbest-in-class power efficiency, broadband

operation and lowest operating costs

High efficiency, compact, hot swappableAC to DC power supplies

Variable speed coolant pumps and heat

exchanger cooling fans maximize system

efficiency

Typical AC to RF efficiency of up to 42% for

ATSC, including cooling system

Typical AC to RF efficiency of up to 38%

for all COFDM TV modulations, includingcooling system

Rugged, reliable design and construction

Digital power levels up to 17.7 kW ATSC,

10.8 kW COFDM TV yields the highestpower density per cabinet

The Maxiva ULXT PowerSmart 3D series

is available from low power to highpower models, suitable for almost anyUHF broadcast application.Designed with future broadcastingneeds in mind, the ULXT

transmitter is capable of multiplemodulation schemes UHF digitaloperation — including ATSC, ATSC

MDTV, DVBT/H, DVB T2, ISDB-Tb andfuture digital standards. Upgradingto newer digital standards is readilyaccomplished to further extend thecapability and life of the transmitter.

models up to 5.5 kW COFDM/9.0 kWATSC)

ASI/T2MI over IP (100/1OOOBASET)

Compact Footprint

As the most compact liquid-cooled UHF

transmitter, the Maxiva ULXT is ideal forcrowded, shared transmitter sites. The

Maxiva M2X exciter drive further reducesrack space requirements. The Maxiva

ULXT transmitter reduces facility spacerequirements, simplifies installation,

lowers shipping costs and allows for easier

maintenance.

Highest Power Density

The Maxiva ULXT provides the highest

power density per rack in a UHF transmitter.

With power levels up to 17.7 kW ATSC and10.8 kW COFDM, fewer amplifier racks arerequired.

Global Monitoring and Control

The Maxiva ULXT transmitter can be

controlled from anywhere in the world

with an intuitive browser-based GUI or

SNMP over TCP/IP via a telecom or network

connection with password protection.

Improved Uptime and Reduced ServiceCosts

Hot-pluggable, redundant power amplifier(PA) and universal power supply (PS)

modules make on-air servicing easy andeliminate costly service interruptions. Light¬

weight universal PA pallets and universalPS modules facilitate overnight/same-day

shipping for simple, cost-effective sparesholding. With lightweight subassemblies, theMaxiva ULXT eliminates any two-person lift

requirements for routine maintenance andtroubleshooting.

Smooth Upgradeability

The Maxiva ULXT system features the newUAX Compact Class drive, using Maxiva M2X

exciter technology, allowing for a seamlesstransition from any analog standard to

a digital terrestrial standard, or from

an existing digital standard to a futurestandard, such as from DVBT to DVBT2 or

from ATSC to ATSC MDTV.
