Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), a well-known player in advanced digital microwave systems serving the broadcast and sports & entertainment markets, will showcase its state-of-the-art digital microwave video systems for portable and fixed-link applications from its Nucomm and RF Central brands at CABSAT 2013 (Hall 8, Stand D8-20).
IMT will be demonstrating its RF Central 2-GHz microLite HD Transmitter at CABSAT 2013. The camera-mountable 2-GHz microLite HD transmitter features SD/HD encoding in a miniature transmit solution package and has been specially designed to address both the domestic and international broadcasting band requirements within a single unit. The microLite HD now covers from 1.9 to 2.5GHz and delivers up to 200mW from a package of less than 12 cubic inches. Designed for a new generation of HD (SDI)-capable compact cameras, the transmitter supports video and embedded audio transmission. The units size makes it ideal for broadcast ENG operations. The 2-GHz microLite HD may be camera mounted via a hot shoe or paired with Litepanels camera-mounted lighting solutions. It features superb H.264 SD and HD encoding capabilities and operates in the standard 2k DVB-T COFDM mode. The H.264 video encoder supports the main profile of the H.264 standard, providing a 30-percent bit-rate reduction or video quality improvement compared to encoders that only support the H.264 baseline profile.
IMT’s next-generation Nucomm brand CamPac2 Plus HD/SD COFDM Microwave Transmitter will also be on display. Intended for wireless camera applications, such as sports coverage and electronic news gathering (ENG), the CamPac2 Plus offers MPEG-4 encoding/decoding, superb HD, low power consumption and is available in licensed bands, along with other bands upon request. The CamPac2s stylish and rugged machined housing provides durability and exceptional thermal characteristics for operation in the harshest of conditions. The CamPac2 Plus offers the same quality transmission as its predecessor, in half the amount of bandwidth, utilizing MPEG-4. It also allows more video paths in the same amount of bandwidth, attractive to stations in markets with high amounts of RF congestion.
Nucomms Newscaster DR2 will also be exhibited at the show. The Newscaster DR2 is a split-box HD/SD COFDM diversity microwave receiver intended for outside broadcast and other mobile video applications. Its stylish rugged machined housing provides durability and excellent thermal characteristics for operation in the harshest of conditions. The receiver has four RF inputs that communicate directly with the systems external intelligent receivers in the 1.99 to 2.70 GHz and 6.40 to 7.75 GHz bands, with other bands also available. The use of external intelligent receivers allows the receive antennas to be remotely mounted.
