Its participation in early stage trials across Europe
and Australia, as well as its development of transmitters
for Modeo and Qualcomm MediaFLO U.S.A. applications
(both scheduled to launch by 2007), have positioned
Harris as a leading transmission vendor for mobile
TV applications. At IBC2006, Harris will demonstrate
mobile TV broadcasts for the leading standards (DVB-H,
FLO? and T-DMB) featuring Harris transmitters and
infrastructure/networking products, as well as third-party
receiving equipment.
Beyond the leadership in transmission platforms for
mobile TV, a broad range of Harris content delivery
solutions for mobile TV will be on display, including
platforms for DVB-H, FLO and
T-DMB applications. Mobile TV transmission solutions
from Harris have been used to develop and
prove the effectiveness of the DVB-H, FLO and T-DMB
standards for mobile broadcast television. The company
will highlight its complete mobile TV product range
through four separate demonstrations in the Mobile
Zone. A Harris NetVX? networking system will deliver
content to the Mobile Zone from the main Harris stand
in some demonstrations.
DVB-H over UHF
The Harris DVB-H UHF solutions are world proven in
both high- and low-power applications. The higher-power
Atlas liquid-cooled transmitter (offered in versions
from 1.25 to 9 kW) is featured in the main Harris
booth. In the Mobile Zone, Harris is delivering DVB-H
content to a handset via the Atlas DTV-660 air-cooled
UHF transmitter, which is offered in power levels
up to 1.5 kW.
DVB-H over L-Band
The Harris Cool Play? Mobile TV transmitter offers
a unique "convection-cooled" architecture
for outdoor installations. The 1670 MHz version of
the transmitter will transmit video to a handset developed
for Modeo, a U.S. DVB-H operator. The Cool Play 1670
transmitter is available at
power levels up to 400 watts in L-Band.
FLO? over UHF
The entire of range of Harris ATSC transmitters are
now available for FLO applications, based on the new
Harris Apex FLO exciter that Harris is featuring in
the Mobile Zone. Harris will receive live transmissions
of a multichannel FLO service on a handset. This marks
the first Harris display
in Europe of FLO transmission products.
T-DMB over DAB
As one of the market leaders and pioneers in DAB,
Harris has a full line of VHF and L-Band DAB transmitters
that can be used to deliver mobile TV over DAB. In
the Mobile Zone, Harris will demonstrate the receipt
of digital radio channels and multichannel TV on a
T-DMB handset from a Harris DAB-660 transmitter. Harris
will demonstrate how the standard's highly efficient
audio encoding allows for transmission of multiple
digital radio and video channels using the same transmitter.
At the Harris booth, the company will display its
strengths in terrestrial TV transmission. The
Harris Atlas? transmitter family will be prominently
displayed in the delivery section of the Harris stand.
As a global UHF transmitter platform, the Atlas liquid-cooled
transmitter family supports analog, digital and mobile
television standards. Visitors can see an active demonstration
of the Atlas DVB-T/DVB-H platform delivering HDTV
and H.264 mobile TV content. A widescreen display
will receive and broadcast the HDTV content, with
the H.264 mobile content received on a handheld device.
The terrestrial TV area also will include a demonstration
of the Harris/Neural Audio MultiMerge for DTV. MultiMerge
uses intelligent detection to blend any audio (mono,
stereo, matrix encoded stereo (L/R), and 5.1 discrete
content) into a seamless, uninterrupted 5.1 surround
sound
stream.
Harris began developing terrestrial transmission platforms
for mobile TV in 2004 after participating in
early demonstrations and the development of the DVB-H
standard. The company's recent acquisition of Leitch
Technology adds a range of servers, routers, switchers
and processing equipment to Harris® NetVX video
encoding and distribution systems, providing the infrastructure
for bringing content into the mobile TV headend. Meanwhile,
equipment from the Harris Software Systems business
unit adds a complement of broadband software and distribution
equipment for network management, traffic scheduling,
digital asset management and ad insertion, among other
applications. The entire portfolio gives Harris the
most comprehensive solution for mobile TV.
