Nucomm, a leading provider of digital and
analog microwave systems for the broadcast industry, common
carrier, cable, government, military and international marketplace,
announced today that it will supply HD microwave equipment
to China’s national broadcaster, CCTV, for use during
the Opening Ceremony outdoor events at the Beijing Olympics
in 2008.
This is the first HD airborne microwave system sold to a broadcast
network in P.R.China. During the Beijing Olympics, Nucomm
will equip a helicopter with its CamPac2 microwave transmitter;
a small, lightweight HD/SD COFDM unit intended for wireless/moving
camera applications, and Newscaster DR, a lightweight HD/SD
COFDM microwave receiver for portable and mobile video applications.
Also included in the package is a high-performance two-axis
steered antenna from Troll Systems.
“Overhead shots are an important aspect of sports broadcasts
and we wanted a solution that would provide our network with
exceptional performance and the greatest possible flexibility,”
stated Mr. Ding Wen-Hua, the Chief Engineer of CCTV. “CCTV
is honoured to provide coverage of the Olympic Games to our
nation and Nucomm’s technology will play a critical role
in bringing viewers across the country closer to the event.”
As well as providing overhead shots, the helicopter will serve
as an airborne repeater for CCTV during the games. On the
ground, two motorcycles will send pictures up to the helicopter
where they will be relayed back to a complementary Nucomm
portable receiver terminal.
“Nucomm continues to expand its reach in the Asian market,
and a successful partnership with CCTV will further our efforts
substantially,” commented Dr. John Payne, CEO of Nucomm.
“As the world turns its attention to Beijing next year,
Nucomm is excited to help create coverage of the highest quality.
With an exceptional design team consisting of highly qualified
engineers, Nucomm is positioned to assist broadcasters around
the globe in their efforts to shift to HD.”
