CHANNEL MASTER OFFERS
'DIGITAL-HEADEND-IN-A-BOX'
Over
the past few years, the price of Digital headends
has seen a dramatic fall. In less than 3 years, the
price of Digital headends had fallen by almost 75%,
positioning them within reach of most large cable
TV networks. Even smaller cable operators now have
the option to group together and set up their own
Digital cable TV headend.
Besides
the cost of the hardware, the selection process needs
to consider technical specifications, modular design,
future upgradability and reliability. Power consumption
and space occupied also become major issues since
the headend needs to be supported with UPS Power back
up as well as an air-conditioned environment. Keeping
all these factors in mind, Channel Master now offers
their "Digital Headend in A Box" - EMR2.
Housed
in a single 1U rack unit, it can accommodate upto
6 user selected cards. Each card can provide for multiple
IRDs, encoders, decoders, IP-QAM (Edge) modulators,
transmodulators, statistic multiplexes and even scramblers.
The
user can select cards to provide inputs for upto 10
digital IRDs and other associated hardware to configure
a complete 10 channel digital headend with scramblers
and control software as well as IP-QAM modulators
to provide a final headend output.
A
key feature is that all cards communicate with each
other using IP (Internet Protocol) making the entire
Headend-In-A-Box easily configurable and upgradable.
If an HD channel is launched, an HD IRD card can be
fitted later. In future, compression can be shifted
from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 by simply replacing a card.
A
digital headend can be configured for any number of
channels, with each single rack slot accommodating
upto 10 channels. As a result, a single rack can accommodate
a digital headend with upto 150 channels, attractively
priced at Rs. 50 lakhs. (approximately).
The
Headend-In-A-Box will be on demonstration at the Channel
Master stall at SCaT 2009 next month.

VIDEO
MAX SDI RELEASED!
Trinity
Technologies has announced the release of its new
Video Playout software - Video Max. This is a video
playout software, that provides Indian Cable TV networks,
the video quality used for Satellite Channels. Cable
TV Channels are run from the Composite output from
the computer. This quality is very good for local
broadcasting. However when broadcasting needs to be
done via satellite, it calls for higher quality output.
Video Max utilises the SDI - the format used by Satellite
Broadcasters.
SDI
is a major video format used for broadcasting MPEG-2
broadcast quality video worldwide. Serial Digital
Interface (SDI) refers to a family of video interfaces
standardized by SMPTE. SDI and HD-SDI are currently
only available in professional video equipment. Various
licensing agreements typically restrict the use of
unencrypted digital interfaces to professional equipment,
prohibiting their use in consumer equipment.
"It's
a great day for us," said Pramod Farias, CEO,
Trinity Technologies in Mumbai, "This software
takes us to the next level of market that is basically
made of high end digital control rooms and satellite
broadcasters." So far this high end market has
been dominated by foreign players who offer very high
priced Hardware solutions. "Our solutions will
be modular based," explains Farias.
