See our New for 2010 web page describing the 5W 70cm Transmitter. ATV is no more difficult or different than any voice mode; additionally you plug in your video camera or camcorder to the ATV transmitter, and downconverter to your TV set to receive the picture. New digital TV’s will have analog cable tuners in them until at least 2012. That’s it - you’re seeing as well as talking to other hams live and in color! No other radios or interface devices needed. With ATV you can show the shack, family, home video tapes, zoom in and describe projects, show computer graphics and programs from the home station. Put ATV in high altitude balloons, rockets or R/C vehicles. Go portable or mobile, do public service events, RACES, AREC, CAP, even transmit the radio club Show the family on ATV meetings to those hams that can’t make it in person live or by tape. See our web site for all kinds of fun application notes and info on ATV. Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) or mobile command posts can really benefit by having an ATV eye at the incident site. Video can give incident commanders a better impression of what is needed to efficiently allocate resources. With ATV you can run full duplex audio by transmitting from the camera location and the receive end can transmit back at the same time on two meters. See our Emergency Communications application note on our web site. Point to Point ATV system for Public Service events.

  • Planning a Digital-ATV Station for DVB-S
    Planning a Digital-ATV Station for DVB-S Ken Konechy – W6HHC Orange County Amateur Radio Club Orange County, CA [email protected] Robbie Robinson – KB6CJZ Orange County Amateur Radio Club Orange County, CA [email protected] Abstract Most ham radio Amateur Television (ATV) stations and repeaters in use today still utilize analog technology. The purpose of this paper is to explain Digital-ATV (DATV) to other hams, with the hope that it might make the transition from analog-ATV to Digital-ATV a little more straightforward. The paper begins with a review and comparison of various commercial DTV standards that are in use around the world. A top-down design methodology session is then conducted to sort through a number of design alternatives to plan a DATV station. The planning session chooses the DVB-S standard for DATV over the competing United States- based ATSC standard. The paper concludes by describing the Forward-Error-Correction factors and Symbol-Rate factors that determine the RF bandwidth for a DVB-S DATV station. Key Words DATV Digital-ATV DVB-S ATSC QPSK 8-VSB FEC Symbol-Rates 1 - Introduction to DATV For several years, Robbie and I have listened to some interesting ham conversations about “...we hams should change analog ATV over to Digital-ATV (aka DATV) to keep up with technology...”. While the goal seemed simple, the topic was very complex and not easy to grasp. We found that there really was no simple place to go...like a “one-stop-shop” for DATV information, especially here in the United States where ATSC is a standard to be carefully considered.

  • How to Receive Amateur Digital, DVB-T Television Signals Jim Andrews, KH6HTV
    AN-21b Receive DTV.doc (2/28/2016) p. 1 of 9 Application Note AN-21b AN-21 issued January, 2015 - deleted Major "B" Revision Feb, 2016 How to Receive Amateur Digital, DVB-T Television Signals Jim Andrews, KH6HTV The fundamental question is "How can I receive amateur DTV signals ?" The commercial TV broadcast industry began a transition from analog TV to digital TV (DTV) starting in the mid 90s. Several different, DTV systems were developed for different applications, such as over the air terrestrial broadcast, satellite broadcast and cable distribution. Each system had it's unique propagation characteristics and as a result, it's coding implementation. For amateur DTV, the system adopted should be optimized for terrestrial propagation where "multi-path" is always an issue. TV signals received from satellites, or directly over a CATV network are not subject to multi-path. Thus such DTV systems are less suitable for amateur DTV. The DTV system adopted by Boulder, Colorado and other Colorado Front Range radio amateurs is called DVB-T, or Digital Video Broadcast - Terrestrial. It is NOT the ATSC (8-VSB) system used in the USA for commercial TV broadcast over the air, nor for transmission in cable TV (CATV). It is the system developed in Europe and used by most of the rest of the world for broadcast DTV. Thus, in the USA, you can NOT use directly your home TV receiver to receive DVB-T. The reasons, we have adopted a European standard rather than an American standard are primarily based upon cost and availability of transmitting equipment and also on the superior multi-path performance of DVB-T over ATSC.
