Digital Television Transmitters

A unique opportunity has arisen to acquire a range of Digital Television Transmitters designed to a high specification and maintained in excellent condition. They are offered for sale by private treaty throughRamco [UK] Limited, a specialist asset disposal business.

The migration to digital television and clearance of the 800 MHz frequency bands in the UK were hugely successful projects. This equipment was used in one of the later phases of work to release the 800 MHzcapacity for use by the mobile telephone industry. All of the transmitters were designed and engineered to provide high levels of availability and reliability during the complex re-engineering of the UK domestic television network and have been maintained to a high standard by Arqiva, the UK’s specialist transmission provider.

The equipment is excellent condition and available for viewing at a single UK location. We understand that the transmitters can be converted to other standards (DVB-T2, ATSC etc.). Potential purchasers should contact the manufacturers (see additional information) to determine the work involved and possible cost.

UseageThe equipment is ideally suited for a number of uses, either as a complete transmitter set or individually, including:

A low cost stand-alone quickly installed TX solution as part of a migration from analogue to digital

Standby TX capability, easily transported to deal with TX outages

Temporary TX facilities during a re-engineering project

Individual stand-alone transmitters (would require removal from containers)

High quality spares

History and Background

In December 2009 the United Kingdom became the first nation in the world to use the new DVB-T2 standard to broadcast a free-to-air, high-definition (HD) terrestrial digital television service. The terrestrial transmitter network used to broadcast the new service, Freeview HD, is owned and operated by Arqiva, the communications infrastructure and media services company. Rohde & Schwarz and NEC were commissioned to provide DVB-T2 technology for part of the new network. Utilizing world-class technological expertise and resources in the field of broadcasting, a standby transmission network was developed enabling a DVB-T2 solution to be provided during the switchover period.

Extracted from an NEC Case Study

NEC supplied a newly developed DVB-T2-compliant exciter (DM-4000) as the initial step in Arqiva’s DVB-T2 upgrade program. Subsequent steps were implemented by replacing exciters with new DVB-T2-compliant transmitters, DTU-52 and DTL-10.

NEC’s transmitters include state-of-the-art digital exciters with an in-built adaptive digital corrector(ADC) developed using original NEC technology. The ADC automatically generates correction factorsfor non-linearity distortion and updates the correction table without interrupting program serviceto greatly improve picture quality.

In addition to the new DVB-T2 standard used primarily in Europe, NEC's DTU-52 and DTL-10transmitters also comply with other global standards such as ATSC (North America and South Korea)and ISDB-T (Japan and South America), enabling deployment in a range of broadcast markets.DVB-T2 technology allows users to broadcast multiple HDTV programs on a single channel band.All test rack multiplexes operate using the 64QAM transmission mode as mandated by Ofcom.This system improves the robustness of the signal especially against impulse interference. It is also necessary in areas operating as Single Frequency Networks which can only use 8k transmission.

CommentThis equipment would suit any organisation or country looking to upgrade or implement its own DTV infrastructure.”Neil Sanderson Ramco (UK) Limited Director

The digital switch over was an amazing engineering and technical feat and a fantastic story of British success. The UK has an outstanding record of producing incredible television. Freeview is the platform of choice across the UK and the investment we made will ensure it continuesto be relevant for the next twenty years.”John Cresswell Arqiva CEO

Key Facts• The digital switch over brought digital terrestrial TV to homes across the length and breadth of the UK.• Five new masts were built.• 80 low-power digital TV sites and 1,154 analogue systems were decommissioned.• 90% of the waste incurred as a result of the decommissioning process was recycled.• At 1,150ft (351m), the newly installed Belmont mast is 100ft taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

StorageRamco understand that overseas buyers may require the equipment to remain in the UK whilst shipping preparations and export documentation is arranged. In such cases the equipment may remain on site at the buyers own risk. However insurance will be the responsibility of the buyer and a small storage charge of £125 per container per month will be levied.

Climatic ControlIf required an individually metered electrical connection can be provided in order for the containers’ climatic controls to be operated. In such cases a one off cost of £500 per container will be levied and any electricity consumption charged at unit cost plus 20%. As an indication, the current cost of controlling the containers’ climate is approximately £75 per month.

Removal & ShippingRemoval from site will be the responsibility of the buyer. If additional logistic support such as crane hire is required,Ramco will assist with any arrangements and where necessary charge for lifting and loading at cost plus 20%.Local crane hire can be arranged through Lincolnshire Crane Hire on 01754 871 074.

Where international shipping is required potential buyers may wish to contact www.air-wave.co.uk who has experience inthe shipment of broadcast equipment. Research indicates that to ship an existing container worldwide using a flat-rack ISO base would cost between £15,000 and £18,000 depending upon the destination. This cost includes uplift by HIAB; delivery to port; securing to a flat rack container and shipment through to arrival at port (CFR). Insurance if required would be in addition at 0.6% of the insured value. Containers would need to be suitably protected for a sea freight journey.

Viewing & InspectionThe equipment has been assessed by various transmission engineers, all of whom have been impressed by the qualityand overall condition of the equipment. Ramco therefore welcomes and will assist with any independent inspection thata potential buyer may wish to undertake. Currently lying in a secure storage facility near Skegness, potential buyersshould make an appointment to view with Neil Sanderson directly. Visitors may find the following information useful: -

Unless otherwise expressly stated, goods are available subject to remaining previously unsold and prices exclude any applicable VAT which the Buyer shall pay in addition at the appropriate rate.b) The Seller may by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services increase the price to re�ect any increase in the cost to the Seller due to any factor beyond its control ( such as, without limitation, foreign exchange �uctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, or signi�cant increase in the cost of labour, materials or other costs ), any change in delivery dates, quantities or speci�cations requested by the Buyer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give adequate information or instructions.c) Except as otherwise stated in any quotation or price list of the Seller or agreed in writing, all prices for the Goods are given by the Seller on an ex-works basis, and where the Seller agrees to deliver the Goods otherwise than at the Sellers premises the Seller reserves the right to charge in addition for transport, packaging and insurance.d) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller all sums due under the contract are payable in sterling only.

5. TERMS OF PAYMENTa) Subject to any special terms agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Seller, the Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods and/or the Services in cash or cleared funds on or prior to collection or delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services. ( as the case may be ) The time of payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.b) Where the Goods are delivered by instalments or the Services performed in stages the Seller may invoice each instalment or stage separately and the Buyer shall pay such invoices in accordance with these conditions.c) If the Buyer fails to make any payment when due then, without prejudice to any other right it may have, the Seller may:1. cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer or performance under the Contract, and/or2. appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods ( or the goods supplied under any other contract between the Buyer and the Seller ) or the services as the Seller may think �t ( notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Buyer ), and/or3. charge the Buyer interest ( both before and after any judgement ) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 4 per cent per annum above Bank rate from time to time, until payment in full is made ( a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest ).d) The Buyer shall reimburse the Seller any legal and other costs incurred by the Seller in enforcing the terms of the Contract, such reimbursement to be on a full indemnity basis.

6. DELIVERYa) Delivery of the goods shall be made by the Buyer collecting the Goods from such location as the Seller may specify at any time after the Seller has noti�ed the Buyer that the goods are ready for collection or, if some other place for delivery is agreed by the Seller, by the Seller delivering the Goods to that place. In the latter case the Seller may deliver by such means as it thinks �t.b) Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services are approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay in such delivery or performance howsoever caused.

The Goods may be delivered or the Services performed by the Seller in advance of the quoted date upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer.c) Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments or the Services performed in stages each delivery or stage shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments or perform any stage in accordance with the Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments or stages shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.d) If the Buyer refuses or fails to take delivery of the Goods or to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions ( other than by reason of any cause beyond the Buyer’s reasonable control or by reason of the Seller’s fault ) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, available to the Seller, the Seller may at its discretion either store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Buyer reasonable costs ( including insurance ) of storage or sell the goods at the best market price readily obtainable, provided that in the latter case after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses, the Seller shall account to the Buyer for any excess over the price under the Contract but may charge the Buyer for any remaining shortfall under the Contract.e) Goods are to be paid for prior to collection or delivery pursuant to clause 5(a). If payment has been made within 7 days of the Seller notifying the Buyer that such goods are ready for collection or delivery the Buyer shall be deemed to have failed to take delivery of the Goods and clause 6(d) shall apply.f) Whether or not the Seller arranges delivery the Seller shall not be responsible for delivery of the Goods and shall not be liable for claims arising from the loss or damage in transit. Claims which must be made by the Buyer against the carrier in accordance with the carrier’s conditions.g) Any allegations as to total non-delivery of any consignment of the goods must be made by the Buyer in writing to the carrier and to the Seller within 10 days of the date of the Seller’s advise note or invoice or other noti�cation of despatch, or within such shorter time limit as may be speci�ed in any conditions of the carrier.h) Failure by the Buyer to comply with the provisions hereof shall render the Buyer liable for the temporary or permanent loss of the Goods and all additional costs and expenses of the Seller in relation hereto.

7. RISK AND PROPERTYa) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer.1. In the case of Goods which are to be collected from any premises by the Buyer pursuant to clause 6(a) at the time when the Seller noti�es the Buyer that the Goods are available for collection. Failure to collect the goods by the Buyer shall not limit any risk in the goods. 2. In the case of Goods which are to be delivered to any location by the Seller pursuant to clause 6(a) where the Goods or any of them leave the premises at which they are located prior to such delivery, whether or not the Seller arranges transport, and where the Goods are delivered by a third party carrier any claims for loss or damage in transport must be made by the Buyer against the carrier in accordance with the carrier’s conditions.b) Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the goods or any other provision of the Conditions property shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is then due.c) Until title in the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold them as the Seller’s �duciary agent and bailee, and shall keep them separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected, insured and identi�ed as the Seller’s property. Until that time the Buyer may use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business but shall not resell or otherwise dispose of them nor mix them with any other goods nor change them in any other way so that they become unidenti�able. Provided that if the Goods are sold not withstanding this provision the Buyer shall account to the Seller for the proceeds of sale whether tangible or intangible, including insurance proceeds, and shall keep all such proceeds separate from any monies or property of the Buyer and third parties, and in the case of tangible proceeds, properly stored, protected and insured.d) Until title in the Goods passes to the Buyer the Seller may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to the Seller. If the Buyer fails to do so the Seller shall have the uncontested right to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or a third party where they are stored and repossess them.

8. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITYa) In the case of the Goods the Seller warrants only that it is duly authorised to transfer ownership of the Goods to the Buyer. In this connection and without prejudice to the generality of the previous sentence, the Seller and the Buyer acknowledge and agree as follows:-1. The Seller has no speci�c knowledge of the history of the Goods, and although some of the Goods may appear to be brand new and may never have been used they could nevertheless be used as well as second-hand and may have existed for many years.2. Accordingly the Goods are sold without any recourse to the Seller in the condition as inspected or not by the Buyer at the time of sale and the Seller gives no warranty as to the quality, condition, �tness or suitability for any particular use, or purpose of the Goods.3. The Buyer acknowledges that the exclusions and limitations in relation to the Goods contained in these conditions are fair and reasonable having regard to the matters referred to in sub-paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this clause 8(a) and the fact that the Goods are priced accordingly and that the Buyer has elected to purchase the Goods from the Seller on the basis that all warranties are excluded ( save as stated in the opening sentence of this clause 8(a)), notwithstanding the fact that the same or similar goods with the bene�t of warranties may be freely available from other sources.b) In the case of the Services the Seller warrants that it will use all reasonable care and skill in performing them.c) Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions, and to the extent permitted by law, all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded.d) Any claim by the Buyer based on any alleged lack of reasonable care and skill in the performance of the Services shall be noti�ed to the Seller within 5 days from the date of completion of such performance or ( where the defect or failure was not apparent within that period ) within a reasonable time after its discovery. If the Buyer does not notify the Seller accordingly the Seller shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and ( if it has not already done so ) the Buyer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Services have been performed in accordance with the Contract.e) Where any valid claim based on any defect in the Services is noti�ed to the Seller, the Seller may ( at its discretion ) correct the said defect free of charge or refund the price ( or a proportionate part of it ), but the Seller shall have no further liability to the Buyer. The Seller may elect to carry out any recti�cation work either at the Buyer’s premises or at some other location of its choice.f) Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Seller’s negligence, the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer by reason of any representation or any implied warranty, condition or other term or any duty at common law or under the express terms of the Contract, for any consequential loss or damage ( whether for loss of pro�t or otherwise ) costs, expenses or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever ( and whether caused by the negligence of the Seller, its employees or agents or otherwise ) which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the Goods or their use or resale by the Buyer or the performance of the Services, except as expressly provided in these Conditions.g) Without prejudice to any other provisions in these Conditions the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer to be deemed to be in breach of the Contract by reason of any delay in performing or any failure to perform any of the Seller’s obligations in relation to the Goods or the Services if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond the Seller’s reasonable control ( including, without limitation, any strike, lock-out or other form of industrial action ).

9. LIENThe Seller shall have a general lien on all goods and property of the Buyer in the possession of the Seller in respect of all sums due from the Buyer to the Seller but unpaid, and the Seller shall be entitled on giving seven day’s notice in writing to the Buyer to dispose of such goods or property and to apply the proceeds thereof towards reduction of such debt.

10. INSOLVENCY OF BUYERWithout prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have, the Seller may cancel the Contract or suspend further deliveries or services without any liability, and if the Goods have been delivered or the Services performed but not paid for the price shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous contrary agreement or arrangement. If:a) the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order or ( being an individual or �rm ) becomes bankrupt or ( being a company ) goes into liquidation ( otherwise than for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction ): or b) an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver is appointed, to any of the Buyer’s property or assets: or c) the Buyer ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on business: ord) the Seller reasonably apprehends that any of such event is about to occur.

11. EXPORT ITEMSa) In these Conditions “Incoterms” means the international rules for the interpretation of trade terms of the International Chamber of Commerce as in force at the date when the Contract is made. Unless the context otherwise requires, any item or expression which is de�ned in or given a particular meaning by the provisions of Incoterms shall have the same meaning in these Conditions, but if there is any con�ict between the provisions of Incoterms and these Conditions, the latter shall prevail.b) Where the Goods are supplied for export from the United Kingdom, the provisions of this clause 11 shall ( subject to any special terms agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Seller ) apply notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions.c) The Buyer shall be responsible for complying with any legislation or regulations governing the importation of the Goods into the country of destination and for the payment of any duties thereon.d) Certain ex MOD equipment as de�ned in Customs & Excise Notice no. 3092. The Export of Goods ( Control ) Order 1992’ require an Export Licence granted by Dept of Trade & Industry. Where such Goods are to be sold direct to a Buyer outside the UK it is the responsibility of the Seller to apply for and obtain the Export Licence. It is the responsibility of the UK Buyer who intends to export such Goods to obtain the Export Licence and to provide a copy to the Seller before Goods are released for delivery to port.e) When Goods are sold by the Seller to a Buyer outside the EC and exported accordingly, the Seller will invoice to the Buyer at the agreed price without VAT at the current rate being added to the invoice.
