LEX 3.0 Upgrade - NEW Feature
The LEX-2000 platform is an extremely versatile product that now offers a simple upgrade path to support ATSC 3.0. The LEX 3.0 Upgrade pairs the LEX-2000 with the DTV Innovations Medusa product for a simple and economical upgrade path to NextGen TV.
This LEX 3.0 Upgrade solution provides an ATSC 3.0 A/324 compliant STLTP output that integrates seamlessly with the EXACT-V2 ATSC 3.0 compliant DTV exciter that is used throughout the company’s DTV transmitter product line.
LEX Station ID (Upgrade License)
A new license feature has been added to comply with FCC Station I.D. requirements. The new license feature allows the encoder to overlay a small text box onto the incoming video stream that contains the broadcast station call letters (as well as their channel numbers as an option) and city of origin. A new webpage with the license feature is available that gives the station engineer the ability to adjust the offset of when the text box is displayed as well as the duration (or amount of time the text box is present on the screen). The engineer also has several choices for the location of where the text box appears in the stream.
LEX EAS Crawl (Upgrade License)
This license (LEX-UPG-EAS) allows the LEX-2000 to have the EAS text crawl across the active video program(s). It’s compatible with both SD and HD resolutions and you can select which broadcast services/programs have the crawl via the LEX-2000 user GUI. This new feature is available as an option on new LEX encoders or as an upgrade for existing LEX platforms.
