Research and Technology

Under titel: 
ProTelevision is established in Herlev near Copenhagen. There are currently 41 employees working in 2000m2 offices and laboratories.

ProTelevision has a strong focus on R&D and the building up of internal knowledge. DVB-T/H is today the application field of this knowledge – there exist an ever growing knowledge base and expertise within ProTelevision that potentially can be applied to any field of digital communication. There are 27 engineers in the R&D team of PTT – with an average ancienity of 9 years. The main disciplines of the R&D team are: RF-design (HW), digital signal processing (HW+SW+VHDL), embedded SW (real time linux kernel), ASIC design and algorithm development. ProTelevision is a DVB member – the work within the DVB project organization is followed closely (PTT was actively involved in the creation of the DVB-RCT and DVB-H standard). PTT takes great pride in designing every part of the products in-house – every single algorithm, functional block or hardware design in all the products are developed entirely by the existing PTT R&D team. As the products are based on FPGA’s and PTT’s own ASIC, this approach caters for superior customer support with short turn round time for problem solving/customer specific design changes (100% in-house knowledge of the entire design + in-field update capability of the products).Established in 1963 as Philips TV test equipment, ProTelevision has a well established position on the market of the TV broadcasters and the TV studios.
