DATV Breakthrough From France

[g7lwt]

Hi,

this news arrived last night from our French colleagues:

=================================================
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR DATV.


The first one was great tonight, September 9, 2009, I have received Rolf F9ZG on Digital ATV on 437 MHz with images and sound from his station, live.


F1FAU, Christian, has built an interface receiving data on the USB port for flows into the parallel transmission standard DATV at 1024 bit/s.

Data is taken from a computer with the one TV tuner card analog video input. The software used to generate the line runs under Linux. F1FAU has created an application to generate the feed with the addition of PIDs.

I can not describe how it works for now at least I can you say that these are the first images received with a 100 percent amateur method.

Rolf will write all this in the B5 (French version of CQ-TV) soon probably.

All this was made possible thanks F1FAU F9ZG F1GFF F4BNF.

All 73's and Rolf Amanda Christian David
