Nucomm Highlights HD

A top worldwide provider of premier digital and analogue video microwave systems, Nucomm, Inc. used the recent IBC Amsterdam showcase to unveil its new 7 Series HD ready products.
Nucomm's entire ENG/OB product line is now capable of HD operation using built in encoding/decoding technology.
Presenting the broadcast arena with the convenience of field upgradeability, all 7 Series products can be delivered with HD capability or delivered as SD for a future field upgrade to HD via a software key.
Prior to this announcement Nucomm's HD product line consisted of the CamPac 2 HD/SD wireless camera transmitter and Newscaster DR HD/SD diversity receiver, which have been well received as the premier wireless camera system in the industry. The 7 Series replaces the SD product line as Nucomm's standard product.
All 7 Series products still contain the features and capabilities that have made Nucomm products the first choice of broadcasters worldwide, such as multiple modulation modes (VSB,COFDM,DVB-S,FM), dual / tri band RF outputs and ease of operation to name a few.
"Nucomm is pleased to be introducing its new 7 Series HD line," said Nucomm Chief Executive Officer, Dr. John Payne.
"Prior to this launch, with the exception of the CamPac 2 and Newscaster DR, Nucomm products were not capable of HD operation unless you used a third-party HD encoder and decoder product.
"Through our new 7 Series, we are now able to offer fully integrated products that can be interchangeably used in both HD and SD formats.
"This eliminates the need for external accessories that would otherwise be required, presenting simplicity and convenience for today's broadcaster," he said.
Among the several products making up the series are the Channel Master TX7 Portable Transmitter, the Channel Master RX7 Portable Receiver, the Newscaster VT7 ENG/OB Van Transmitter and the Newscaster CR7 Central Receiver.
