Harris Corporation's Complete Multiplatform Delivery Solutions Streamline Any Workflow for Broadcasters.
LAS VEGAS, April 13, 2008 — Harris Corporation is showing its full range of new and established multiplatform delivery solutions at NAB2008. Harris multiplatform delivery solutions are based on the company's wide array of networking/infrastructure and transmission platforms. Broadcasters can utilize this wide variety of Harris products to build a complete solution that can encode and transport broadcast video of any flavor to any transmission point for delivery to the consumer — while supporting all major domestic and international broadcast transmission standards.
The Harris® NetVX™ video networking platform, which includes MPEG-4/H.264 and MPEG-2 encoding modules, offers complete solutions inside and outside the plant to encode, multiplex and transport broadcast-quality SD and HD video for multiplatform delivery services. Specifically, the NetVX ENC-A21 MPEG-4/H.264 video encoder now features IP-controlled statistical multiplexing to more efficiently distribute SD and HD video within a single NetVX chassis or across multiple frames across the broadcast facility.
This complete solution allows direct-to-home broadcasters and service providers to more efficiently use existing bandwidth, delivering more channels to the consumer without the need to invest in additional transmission bandwidth.

The company is also showing new Videotek® DDM-6800+ demodulator modules for its 6800+™ processing platform inside the plant. The new module offers RF demodulation of 8-VSB, 64 QAM or 256 QAM to ASI transport streams and provides a low-cost, space-efficient solution for RF-to-fiber interconnectivity in the 6800+ frame system when combined with existing 6800+ modules.

The NetVX H.264 video networking platform is also ideal for integration with Harris digital transmitters, including the company's new ISDB-Tb digital transmitter adapted for the Brazilian market. The Harris ISDB-Tb transmitter and NetVX platforms offer a complete Harris solution that includes an ISDB-Tb digital exciter based on its Apex™ exciter platform and features an integrated multiplexing solution for the delivery of digital TV, HDTV and mobile TV programming over the same transmission channel.

The Apex exciter has long been utilized by U.S. broadcasters for the modulation of ATSC transmission signals to enable the transmitter to produce a robust over-the-air signal to support sharp, high-quality digital TV and HDTV images.
At NAB2008, Harris introduces its new Apex M2X™ MPH exciter, the world's first exciter to support delivery of MPH™ in-band mobile DTV services with terrestrial digital TV and HDTV services using the same slice of bandwidth. The frequency-agile Apex M2X MPH exciter is compatible with most digital transmitters, including all Harris ATSC transmitters from its PowerCD®, DiamondCD®, Sigma®, Platinum-i™, Ranger™ and Atlas™ product lines.

MPH in-band mobile DTV, which is the ATSC-compatible mobile TV solution jointly developed by LG/Zenith Corporation and Harris Corporation, is just one of the many mobile TV standards that Harris supports today. The NAB2008 mobile TV display also includes various Harris transmitters and networking and infrastructure equipment to support DVB-H, FLO™, ISDB-Tb, and T-DMB standards. Harris is showing new low-power transmission solutions for most of these standards, including low-power versions of its Ranger™ transmitter for Qualcomm's FLO™ standard; and the low-power Atom Gap Filler transmitter adapted for outdoor rooftop installations within DVB-H mobile TV networks.

For international mobile TV support, Harris is showcasing its DMB 670-4000 transmitter for support of DMB mobile TV and DAB digital radio programming over the same transmission channel. The 4 kW DMB 670-4000 offers twice the power of Harris' initial DMB 670 transmitter introduction last year. The DBM 670-4000 supports unprecedented power levels for DAB/DMB broadcasting to provide a more robust transmission platform that better serves consumers on the move.

Harris NetVX video networking platforms and digital exciters and transmitters are among the wide range of Harris multiplatform delivery solutions that optimize the video networking and infrastructure and transmission workflows of today's broadcast operations.
