On Saturday 20th June VK3RTV was on air testing the new Digital Transmitter. This test was arranged to give active ATV Amateurs a chance to upload vision using the analogue path and have the vision re-compressed and transmitted as a DVB Signal. Also Amateurs and SWL's were able to tune up Digital TV Receivers and Set-top Boxes. This video is only a short segment from the test that lasted for about 90 minutes. Equipment used. Receiver was an RCA TRC501AU Std. Def. Set-top Box feeding into an external USB capture device so there is some video loss. Although the DVB transmitter is capable of transmitting Audio all of the test stations were liaising using 2m simplex so there is a one second delay due to the compression from the analogue uplink to the DVB downlink. VK3RTV Digital will be on air permanently around late July early August 2009.
