Megahertz Shows HD-Ready DSNG Vehicle At IBC

Cambridgeshire-based independent UK systems integrator Megahertz displayed their most recently completed DSNG vehicle on their stand at the 2007 IBC show.
The vehicle provided an example of the type of up to the minute High Definition - ready DSNG vehicle they can build when required.
The van, which was built for the Arab Radio Television Corporation (ART), is just one of a total of five identical vehicles constructed for the corporation since last Autumn, when the Middle East broadcaster placed an urgent order with Megahertz for two vehicles.
According to Hassan Merei, ART's Director of Engineering, ART were impressed with the quality and suggested cost of Megahertz's SD- and HD-capable design, and the fact that the vehicles were ready to meet a very tight deadline.
When the delivered the initial vehicles ordered on time, ART increased the order to five, the last of which will be delivered before the end of the Autumn.
ART landed a contract to broadcast all Saudi Arabian football championship matches by satellite in the late Summer of 2006, and needed new vans fast - according to Hassan Merei, the station can now frequently be transmitting as many as six matches simultaneously.
The corporation are intending to migrate to high-definition production and transmission in the near future, and consequently all five vans were designed from the beginning with the infrastructure for both SD and HD operation, including an HD/SD-capable 8x8 Leitch Router, 24x2 HD BES jackfield, and Marshall HD LCD Monitors. The long-wheelbase vehicles are each fitted with roof-mounted 1.5 metre NewSwift antennae and Xicom XTRD-400k high-power amplifiers.
Cambridgeshire-based Megahertz Broadcast Systems, established in 1982, is one of the world’s premier independent broadcasting systems integrators.
Their experience covers every aspect of systems activity, including the management of complete turnkey projects and the design and construction of sophisticated Outside Broadcast Vehicles.
Megahertz is a division of Canadian technology integration company AZCAR.
