December 4, 2025 – Anywave Broadcast Inc.(“Anywave”) participated in the testing of ATSC 3.0 translators at the Heartland Video Systems (HVS) Interop event, held November 10-14 at HVS headquarters in Plymouth, WI.
Testing was conducted using ATSC 3.0 RF signals supplied by HVS, complete with signaling tables signed with certificates. It is a mandatory part of the ATSC 3.0 standard that signaling tables are cryptographically signed for security and authentication. If any of that signaling is to be modified for the translator output, then editing and re-signing in the translator is necessary.
Anywave has been at the forefront of ATSC 3.0 technology for the broadcast signal chain, and has worked diligently to produce products that meet broadcasters’ needs and adhere to the standard’s requirements. As a leading supplier of TV tranlators for many years, solving the ATSC 3.0 translator challenges was an important development.
David Neff, General Manager of Anywave commented, “We were very pleased to be invited to the Interop by Heartland to verify the operation and performance of our 3.0 translator. With the signed signaling requirement, 3.0 translators can be a lot more complicated than their 1.0 counterparts. Essentially, a 3.0 translator requires a demodulator, a 3.0 exciter, and many of the functions of a broadcast gateway. Fortunately for Anywave, we have all of that capability in one box, our AW9200 Exciter+ product. So, while this was technically an interop designed to test equipment interoperability with other gear, Anywave includes all 3.0 translator functions in
the one unit – RF input to RF output. That eliminates any finger pointing if things don’t work – we make it all, end to end!”
The Anywave ATSC 3.0 translator functionality was tested and proven at the interop. For more information on the Anywave Exciter+, which is the basis of the 3.0 translator, click on the link below:
