PROMAX-4, PROMAX-6, PROMAX-8 Premium, PROMAX-10 Premium and PROMAX-27
The PROMAX-4 / PROMAX-5 / PROMAX-6 models are instruments designed to measure the basic parameters to determine faster and simply the quality of the signal in a CATV network. Three versions have been implemented so to offer different options depending on the needs. It is a one hand operation instrument with direct reading of the measurement on an lighting LCD screen. It incorporates an audio demodulator together with a speaker. An exchangeable input connector to avoid damaging the instrument. Basic features: C/N measurements: PROMAX-4, PROMAX-5 and PROMAX-6 Return Path: PROMAX-5 and PROMAX-6 Channel Power Measurement: PROMAX-6 Program Memory: PROMAX-4 and PROMAX-5

The PROMAX 8 Premium is an analyser that incorporates all the functions for the installation, verification and maintenance of CATV systems. It includes different configurations to measure in channel parameters such as Signal Level, Channel Power, V/A, C/N, CSO and CTB. Many different ways of presenting the information can be selected such as Channel measurements, SCAN, Spectrum with max. and min. hold, Datalogger, TILT, etc. Basic features: Measurements: Signal Level, Digital Channel Power, Video/Audio, C/N, CSO and CTB Ways of presenting the information: Channel Measurements, SCAN, Spectrum with max. and min. hold, Datalogger, TILT, Resolution: 10 kHz

The PROMAX-10 Premium incorporates the measurements for installation, verification and maintenance of reception and distribution systems for FM radio, MATV, CATV and MMDS, including the sub-band (return path). Now it includes a new function to measure power level measurement over a complete frequency band, very useful for detecting saturation in the input of some broadband demodulators. PROMAX-10 Premium is a multi standard instrument, so it can be used in any network in the world. Basic features: FUNCTIONS: Level meter, Logger, Scan, Tilt, Spectrum analyser, Transient detector Cable digital analyser DIGITAL MEASUREMENTS: Channel power, C/N , Bit Error Rate (BER), MER, DVB-QAM constellation ANALOGUE MEASUREMENTS: Level, C/N, C/A ratio, CSO-CTB intermodulation

The PROMAX-27 is an evolution of the PROMAX-26. It is a DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS transmission system analyser for the installation and maintenance of video and high speed data interactive services over TV networks based on the EuroDOCSIS and DOCSIS 2.0 standard. It allows the qualification of VoIP and IPTV services and it includes several test modes such as the TILT function that allows equalisation of the line. It includes the LOGGER function, which allows to take and save to the internal memory a number of measurements, so they can be analysed, transferred to a PC or printed, adding to a longer battery operating time thanks to the use of new Li+ battery technology and offering brand new features to help cable TV installers to better perform nowadays challenging installation and maintenance works in modern networks.

PRODIG-5 TV EXPLORER

The TV EXPLORER is the first TV and Satellite Analyser that fits your hands, with a weight less than 2 kg. The new TV EXPLORER has been designed for installation, maintenance and monitoring of terrestrial, satellite and cable TV systems. It is ideal to be used in this transition period from analogue to digital TV as it covers a wide range of standards, PAL /SECAM / NTSC in analogue and COFDM / QPSK / QAM in digital. Includes, in addition to other innovative features, EXPLORATION and AUTO ID functions, for detecting and automatically identifying channels, an improved graphical user interface that shows all the signal measurements in a unique screen and direct access buttons to the most common functions.
