PRINCETON, N.J.—Triveni Digital is partnering with South Korean TV solutions provider ATBiS on the production of its new ATSC 3.0 Broadcast Gateway that is designed to make it easier for broadcasters to transition smoothly to the next-generation digital television standard.

“ATBiS is well-known in the Korean broadcast industry for its leading technology and reliable products,” said Ralph Bachofen, Triveni Digital vice president of sales and marketing. “By working with ATBiS to integrate its broadcast gateway with Triveni Digital's ATSC 3.0 broadcast chain, we can provide our customers with a solidly engineered solution backed by Triveni Digital's expert development and support team. We're excited to provide a one-stop shop for ATSC 3.0 solutions here in the USA."

The new gateway, developed by ATBiS and offered by Triveni Digital, is compatible with Triveni Digital’s range of 3.0 solutions, such as the StreamScope XM Verifier, StreamScope XM MT Analyzer and GuideBuilder XM 3.0 transport encoder.

“By partnering with Triveni Digital, we can bring this important piece of the puzzle [the broadcast gateway] to broadcasters in the U.S. as they adopt ATSC 3.0 and the exciting range of services it provides,” says Sam Eom, president and CEO at ATBiS.

Mark Simpson, president and CEO of Triveni Digital, notes South Korean companies and research institutes have been working aggressively to develop ATSC 3.0. However, they “find it challenging to meet the U.S. broadcast market expectations for customer support and ongoing engineering,” he explains.

“This collaboration exemplifies our strategy to adapt solutions from leading technology companies to the U.S. broadcast environment, while providing our first-class customer support for the unified platform. We found that ATBiS has both great technology and people, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership," says Simpson.

PRINCETON, N.J.—As Next Gen Television gets closer to being applied, Triveni Digital is launching a new product designed at assisting with the delivery of ATSC 3.0 services. The Broadcast Gateway is a device that supports ATSC 3.0 broadcast services in HD and UHD, allowing for stations to generate ATSC 3.0 signal information via user-defined transmission parameters.

The Broadcast Gateway generates STL-TP with L1 and L2 signals upon receiving one or more IP streams of data from a transport encoder; it then sends signals to the station’s ATSC 3.0 exciter. Triveni offers the device in software or hardware versions that support multi-sub-frame and multi-PLP functions. There is also an optional external clock that enables broadcasters to deliver ATSC 3.0 services over an SFN. Its support for STL-TP ECC helps ensure the correction of transmission errors.

The Broadcast Gateway is a new addition to Triveni Digital’s portfolio of ATSC 3.0-related products, which cover things like program guide, advanced emergency alerting, broadcast stream encoding and digital TV metadata management.

Triveni Digital will demonstrate the Broadcast Gateway, as well as its other ATSC 3.0-related products at the 2019 ATSC Annual Broadcast Conference in Washington, D.C., from May 29-30.
