In response to consumer interest in high-definition (HD) broadcasting and broadcaster demands for content delivery solutions, Harris Corporation will present the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of content delivery products and solutions at NAB2006. Harris will showcase the breadth and depth of the company's Total Content Delivery portfolio, bolstered by the addition of Leitch's extensive HD television products and the newest applications of the H-Class Content Delivery Platform. Harris offerings encompass solutions for ingest, digital asset management, traffic, scheduling, automation and TV transmitters. With the addition of Leitch products serving professional and broadcast video companies, Harris also offers systems for news post-production, branding and graphics, storage and servers, routing and distribution, signal processing, signal management, and test and measurement.
At NAB 2006, Harris will show how it is assimilating these reliable, proven solutions and emerging with a comprehensive technology set for enabling the new media model: delivering the right content, to the right person, at the right time, on the right device. Harris is also expanding its reach by offering products and solutions for several key market segments including broadcast television and call-letter stations, content originators, multi-channel and multi-service providers, video and post-production.
"The market is changing faster than ever before with emerging requirements for HD, mobile TV, IPTV and enterprise-class solutions," said Jeremy Wensinger, president of Harris Broadcast Communications Division. "Consumers are highly engaged in determining how, when and where they will want to consume rich media. Harris plans to be there with the right solution that helps our customers compete in this new broadcast environment."
