Press Release Summary:
Supporting broadcast digital video standards, Trident Suite v1.8 includes Trident Generation, which transforms customized transport stream files into single binary data format that are then generated using National Instrument's PXI RF signal generator hardware. Trident Analysis acquires data using NI's PXI RF signal analyzer hardware and performs bandpower, demodulation, MER, EVM, and frequency and phase offset. Both support DVB-T, DVB-H, DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-S2, ATSC, SCTE, ISDB-T, and MediaFLO.

DAQTron Introduces Trident Suite Version 1.8
Trident Suite Enables Testing of Digital Television Hardware With National Instruments LabVIEW, NI TestStand, and PXI Platform
ATLANTA, Aug. 5 /- DAQTron, Inc., an industry leader in the implementation of broadband test systems, announced today availability of Trident Suite Version 1.8, a set of software and hardware packages designed to provide customized testing automation for digital television technologies, based on National Instruments LabVIEW and NI TestStand software as well as the PXI hardware platform. Version 1.8 adds several advances; notably coverage of new broadcast digital video standards and greatly expanded analysis capabilities.
The DAQTron Trident Suite includes:
-- Trident Generation - Transforms customized transport stream files into a single binary data format that are then generated using National Instruments PXI RF signal generator hardware.
-- Trident Analysis - Acquires data using National Instruments PXI RF signal analyzer hardware and performs bandpower, demodulation, MER, EVM, and frequency and phase offset. Bit Error Ratio (BER) is also available using National Instruments high-speed digital I/O hardware and Trident software.
Trident Generation and Analysis both support digital broadcast standards such as DVB-T, DVB-H, DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-S2, ATSC, SCTE, ISDB-T, and MediaFLO.
"Using the newest high performance RF hardware from NI provides performance competitive with other world-class instrumentation," said Bob Sandage, President of DAQTron.
"Furthermore, the ability to combine generation and analysis in one common platform significantly lowers cost and increases capability for integration with other test hardware. Other solutions would require several standalone instruments, are much higher in cost, and don't have the performance advantage that the new NI RF hardware offers."
