Rohde & Schwarz and Balai Besar Pengujian Perangkat Telekomunikasi (BBPPT) – the official test lab under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) in Indonesia – have successfully installed a DVB-T2 receiver compliance test system in January 2016. The test system consists of an R&S BTC Broadcast Test Center, R&S AVBrun automation software, StreamSpark PSI/SI and early warning system (EWS) test suite, as well as a test lab management system.
With the latest commissioning of an R&S BTC RF test automation system in BBPPT test labs, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully deployed R&S BTC systems at three key official test labs in the ASEAN within a short span of 12 months. To further enhance the test system, they have released the camera-based solution, which enables fully automatic tests on both STB and iDTV. Their ultimate goal is to empower test labs and manufacturers to conduct digital TV RF testing in the most reliable and efficient way, across different standards.
With the adoption of the DVB-T2 standard, the Indonesian MCIT plans to incorporate EWS as part of the DVB-T2 rollout. The Indonesian early warning system is designed to support up to 15 different types of disasters, three levels of warning and postcode based regional EWS. EWS is the unique mandate from the Indonesian government, thus all STB and iDTV must be compliant with the EWS standard.
By leveraging their test experience in Europe, Africa, Middle East and the ASEAN, StreamSpark helped BBPPT develop their PSI/SI test suite and EWS test suite. Both the R&S BTC RF test automation system and the StreamSpark test suite are well accepted by government official test labs and industry players such as TV/STB manufacturers and chipset designers. They are committed to deliver state-of-art products and ensure a successful digital TV rollout in the ASEAN.
