Best of Show 2019: Maxiva IMTX-70
OVERVIEW

GatesAir’s award-winning product, the new Maxiva™ IMTX-70 Intra-Mast Transmitter, is a very compact modular multi-transmitter system.  It has been scaled to allow installation within shared transmitting infrastructure 19” standard shelters. This structure itself provides complete protection from the outside environment, while allowing heat dissipation via convection, plus forced air cooling through the unit.

The diminutive dimensions of the Maxiva IMTX-70 chassis are key to this unique design. Measuring only 9.5RU height in a 19” standard rack cabinet. Cooling air is provided by vertical air convection within the mast structure, complemented by dedicated small fans for each transmitter slot, inside the chassis.

Although extremely compact in size, the Maxiva IMTX-70 boasts many features normally found in full-size systems, including the capability of housing up to eight separate transmitter modules, each with up to 70W of average DTV power. Each module can be configured as a transmitter, translator, or on-channel gap-filler with echo-cancellation, using optional input cards. A DVB-S/S2 satellite receiver option is also available as well as GbE (TS over IP), ASI, T2MI, SMPTE-310M, and ETI inputs. Digital modulations are supported include; ATSC, DVB-T, DVB-T2, and ISDB-T. For ISDB-T/Tb applications, an embedded Re-Multiplexer and Layer Combiner/TS to BTS, can be included.

The RF output stage is a high-efficiency Doherty broadband amplifier for energy savings and minimal waste heat. Maxiva IMTX provides a dedicated power supply for each transmitter slot, plus the option of PSU redundancy. Remote control includes SNMP and a Web interface.
