The HDTV Tour has travelled over 30,000 kilometres and welcomed over 3,000 visitors in over a hundred cities in five countries.

Santiago de Compostela, 31st May 2010. After over a year’s touring, travelling over 30,000 km, visiting more than a hundred cities and receiving over 3,000 visitors in five different countries, the Televes HDTV Tour is back in Portugal.

This time, the mobile unit designed to bring the technological keys of digital and high definition television (HDTV) to telecommunications technicians, installers and students from all over Europe has reinforced its content, with the aim of presenting professionals with Televes’ wide range of advanced technical solutions.

Technicians and specialists from the HDTV Tour will thus focus their technical demonstrations on the reception of the MPEG_4 digital terrestrial signal; ITED / ITUR measurements and registration using for this purpose H45 portable field meters (with HD modules and fibre optics); the full compatibility of Televes products with the new requirements of the ITED and ITUR manuals, and the calculation of installations with CAST60 ITED software. In the mobile unit professionals will also be able to verify high technology and the benefits of the AVANT5, AVANT3 and DTKom series amplifiers, as well as T05 headends, Class A/3G coaxial cable and 5250 global intake.

Success in five countries

On its new visit to Portugal, the HDTV Tour hopes to achieve the same success obtained on its previous visit to the country (which was exactly a year ago) as well as in the other four countries visited: Spain, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland. In addition, the HDTV Tour mobile unit was also present at the ANGA Cable 2010 fair, held in Cologne from 4 to 6 May.
