DTG and Mirifice announce strategic automation partnership
The DTG has announced a strategic partnership with Mirifice, the leading innovator in test and monitoring systems for broadcast, to introduce automation to the DTG's digital television test and conformance regimes.
The MiriATE® system, which will initially be used for MHEG testing, is able to automatically interpret a receiver's video and audio output, while controlling the device inputs and environment and is capable of testing up to 96 receivers in parallel 24 hours a day. Benefits for manufacturers include a shorter time to market, improved quality and reliability of testing and improved testing efficiency.
"DTG Testing is committed to continually enhancing the service we offer to manufacturers." said Richard Lindsay-Davies, Director General of the DTG. "The introduction of automation to our test regimes will reduce the time taken to test products and provide a more controlled testing environment, ensuring even greater consistency of test results."
"World-class services such as Freeview, Freesat and Freeview HD require a truly world class test and conformance centre. These enhancements to our already robust and reliable test and conformance regime will be crucial to delivering a rich, vibrant and stable consumer experience as digital switchover and the Freeview HD service roll-out."
Keith Monserrat, CEO of Mirifice said "Mirifice is delighted to be at the heart of the DTG testing and conformance regime supporting the DTG's drive to meet customer requirements for quality and reliability."
DTG Testing will be introducing Mirifice's MiriATE® automation system into its testing processes from September. The DTG will demonstrate a specially customised version of Mirifice's MiriATE® automated test system on the DTG's stand (5.a45) at this year's IBC show in Amsterdam.
