ETG1000

ETG 1000 is undoubtedly

innovative
e, being compact, light an nd powerful at
a the same time. Switchinng type
power suppply, telemettry, all in 3 ra

• Easy-use

A simple and wide LCD interface ease operating parameters'

reading and settings. Final user can password-protect its
chosen configurations. On request we can personalize ETG
displaying on its LCD the broadcaster's logo.

• Audio quality

3 bars indicate frequency deviation (one for composite signal

and two for left and right channels), with peak memory. A
histogram on frequency and time axis allows precise
monitoring of audio chain performances. An extremely wide
and flat audio pass-band, without phase rotation ensures that
the MPX signal is transmitted at high quality without stereo
degradation. A programmable ALC (Automatic Level Control)
circuit acts on variations of the composite MPX signal,
maintaining its level within the range defined by the user.

• High Performance
o Reliability: RF amplifier is protected by a VSWR monitor
progressively reducing output power to a safe value in
the case of mismatch; ETG exciters can be run in this
condition indefinitely without risks of damage.
o Stability: an ALC circuit ensures that output power
remains constant throughout the operating frequency
band.
o Telemetry: Standard included in basic equipment,
allows remote monitoring and adjustment of the unit's
operating parameters. Just an additional standard or
GSM modem or HyperTerminal software (© Microsoft
Windows) is required.
o Modularity: An expansion slot has been designed to
place a Stereo Input and Stereo coder board (stereo
filetr, clipper and pre-emphasis) inside ETG exciters.
