Live Remote HD Broadcasts with JVC HD MPEG-2 Encoder
July 30, 2004
Wayne, NJ - Nucomm Inc. and Broadcast Microwave Services Inc. have joined with JVC Professional Products to offer turnkey solutions for microwave HDTV remote broadcasts by incorporating JVC’s DM-JV600 high definition (HD) MPEG-2 encoder with their products.
With the DM-JV600 encoder as part of a Nucomm or BMS microwave transmission solution, JVC has made it practical to perform live, remote-HD broadcasts, the companies report.
The DM-JV600 is a multi-format 4:2:0/4:2:2 HDTV encoder with Dolby audio pass-through that offers proven compatibility with multiple microwave radio systems — both analog and digital. Incorporating advanced MPEG-2 encoding technologies exclusive to JVC, the DM-JV600 encoder accepts SMPTE-292M HD-SDI signals and encodes them into HD MPEG-2 format and provides a transport stream (TS) through its two DVB-ASI interfaces.
At NAB 2004, BMS teamed up with JVC for a successful digital HD demonstration. JVC’s HD video was transmitted through BMS’ Carry-Coder II (Digital COFDM 4:2:0/4:2:2 low delay transmitter) to BMS’ booth where attendees could view the HD signal on an HD monitor. Nucomm was the first manufacturer to provide digital transmission on an analog microwave radio, demonstrating HD image transmissions over an analog link using their Analog Coder and the JVC DM-JV600.
The DM-JV600U is described as the world’s first $25,000 HDTV encoder appropriate for cost-effective HD electronic news gathering (ENG) and electronic field production (EFP) as well as satellite backhaul and contribution, giving broadcasters the ability to capture and transmit HDTV content from across the street or around the world.
