Harris Corporation HDTV conversion chosen by CHUM Television

Harris Corporation has announced that Toronto-based CHUM Television, one of Canada’s leading broadcasters, has placed a significant order for Harris standard- and high-definition (SD/HD) conversion, processing, and control and monitoring equipment to support its latest HD initiative.
Beginning in September, CHUM Television’s Citytv plans to broadcast Toronto’s number one morning show, 'Breakfast Television', in HD, as well as 'CityLine' and 'CityNews' at noon, 6 pm and 11 pm. With this announcement, Citytv is positioned to become the first daily newscast in Canada to air in high definition.
The order from CHUM includes X75™HD M-Path Multiple-Path Converter/Synchronizers, NEO™ XHD broadcast-quality, modular HDTV converters and the 6800+™ modular down-converters for utility applications. Also included in the order are CCS Pilot™ control and monitoring software and NUCLEUS™ user-configurable, network control panels, which support centralised operational control of all the conversion, processing and routing equipment.
