BEIJING, CHINA, AUGUST 6, 2013 —Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), a Business Unit within the Vitec Group’s Videocom Division and a leader in advanced digital microwave systems serving the broadcast, sports and entertainment markets, brings its state-of-the-art digital microwave video systems for portable and fixed-link applications from its Nucomm and RF Central brands to BIRTV 2013 (booth 8B15A). BIRTV is China's top-notch exhibition in the radio, film and television industries.
IMT demonstrates its next-generation Nucomm brand CamPac2 Plus (CP2 Plus) HD/SD COFDM microwave transmitter. Intended for wireless camera applications, such as sports coverage and electronic news gathering (ENG), the CP2 Plus offers MPEG-4 encoding/decoding, superb HD, low power consumption with full camera control as an option. It is available in a variety of licensed bands and other bands upon request. The CP2 Plus’ stylish and rugged machined housing provides durability and exceptional thermal characteristics for operation in the harshest of conditions. The CP2 Plus offers the same quality transmission as its predecessor, in half the amount of bandwidth, utilizing MPEG-4 encoding technology. The CP2 Plus allows more video paths in the same amount of bandwidth, attractive to stations in markets with high amounts of RF congestion.
“We look forward to exhibiting our equipment at this year’s show, as BIRTV is an excellent opportunity for IMT to showcase its products to the booming Asian market.” says Integrated Microwave Technologies Regional Sales Manager for Asia, KS Tan. “With an office, extensive reference customer base and dedicated sales and support staff in the region, IMT’s commitment to this market will help broadcasters meet the growing demand for state-of-the-art equipment and services with quicker response times and more cost-effective solutions.”
