The R&S®SCx8000 family of UHF transmitters offers
compactness and cost-effectiveness unique in its
power class. Designed for professional TV broad-
cast networks, the R&S®SCx8000 features intel-
ligent redundancy concepts for the exciter and the
amplifier and allows easy switchover from analog
to digital transmission. The transmitters are innova-
tive, robust, failsafe and easy to put into operation.
This makes them ideal for use at remote sites and in
outdoor applications.

Family of UHF
Transmitters for TV
At a glance
The R&S®SCx8000 transmitter family covers the analog TV
standards as well as the ATSC, ATSC Mobile DTV, DVB-T,
DVB-H and MediaFLO™ digital TV standards. The trans-
mitters can be switched from analog to digital transmis-
sion. The R&S®SCx8000 comes with broadband precorrec-
tion data for each digital standard.
With output powers from 200 W to 600 W for DVB-T/
DVB-H, the R&S®SCx8000 can be used for expanding
existing transmitter networks and filling coverage gaps.
Rolling out or extending a transmitter network may re-
quire large numbers of transmitters; yet costs must be
kept to a minimum. Here, the R&S®SCx8000 proves to
be the ideal choice: It comes with the high quality that
Rohde & Schwarz stands for and offers an excellent price/
performance ratio. Follow-up costs are just as favorable:
Due to its ultracompact design, the R&S®SCx8000 reduces
infrastructure, rental and installation costs. The transmit-
ter's high efficiency ensures low energy costs throughout
the product lifecycle.
Availability is the crucial factor for operators of trans mitter
systems. The new backup exciter redundancy concept
eliminates the need for a separate transmitter control unit.
This lowers costs and increases system availability. Each
amplifier comes with two power supplies. This ensures
high failsafety, which can be further enhanced by adding a
third, optional power supply.
