AXRX8 8-Way)
Figure 0-1 – AXRX1 Broadcast Receiver
0.1 What is the AXRX1 Broadcast Receiver?
The AXRX1 is a feature rich multi-way diversity COFDM receiver designed to work with the
next generation of H.264 wireless camera systems.
Designed specifically for the demanding broadcast market, it is supplied in a 1/2 19” 2U high
rack receiver chassis, where two units can be mounted together to occupy a 19” slot and
uses standard broadcast connectors for signal interfaces.
It is available with 2-way, 4-way, 6-way and class leading 8-way maximum ratio combining
RF inputs, ensuring video is recovered free from the distortions typically associated with
fading and multipath. All DVB-T 6/7/8MHz modes are supported. Designed to work with
external down-converters, the receiver can be located up to 100m from the antennas using
standard 75Ωco-axial cables.
