Grass Valley's enhanced ViBE mobile TV encoding platform and NetProcessor 9030 multiplexer together create a fully ATSC-M/H-compatible transport stream.

Grass Valley chose NAB2009 to unveil its complete ATSC Mobile TV broadcasting solution, which gives broadcasters and service providers a one-stop shop for test and evaluation solutions that can go on to provide a full commercial offering.

The new mobile TV system is fully integrated and provides all the equipment necessary to take a broadcast feed and transmit it to mobile devices. The system is built on Grass Valley's new ATSC-M/H software module for the ADAPT-IV digital exciter, which is incorporated in the Elite, DCX Paragon and DCX Millennium transmitter families. Adding this software module to proven transmitter lines makes it easy for stations to make their initial forays into mobile TV delivery.
