theibcdaily Receiver/decoder makes debut Sencore By Ian McMurray
Making their European debut on the Sencore stand are the MRD 5800, a receiver/decoder that the company says is optimised for today’s demanding contribution environment, as well as the MRD 4400, which is described as a cost-effective SD decoder that can be upgraded to HD via a software licence. These new solutions complement Sencore‘s MRD 3187B receiver/decoder, which, the company says, can be

flexibly tailored to suit any distribution environment. Sencore’s new MRD 5800
receiver/decoder decodes high- quality video feeds including 4:2:2 H.264 or MPEG-2 video, at either 8- or 10-bit depth. The MRD 5800 will also decode and output full HD 1080p60
video as 3G-SDI. The MRD 5800 also offers up to eight PIDs of audio decoding to deal with the multichannel, multilanguage environment of live event coverage. For applications where maximum flexibility is required, Sencore says that its
MRD 3187B receiver/decoder continues to provide an ideal solution that can be tailored to almost any distribution environment. The product features a new IP output card that supports PID and service filtering features – suitable for IP turnaround applications.
Small but powerful monitor
Flanders Scientific By Monica Heck
Flanders Scientific is showing its new CM-170W broadcast monitor. This professional 17-inch broadcast monitor features native 1920x1200 resolution as well as a true
10-bit colour depth panel capable of reproducing over 1073bn colours. With standard rack mount ears and a desktop stand, the CM-170W is described as being well suited to a variety of applications, but
particularly aimed at field use environments due to
TD Control for broadcasters
Orad By Carolyn Giardina
Orad is highlighting TD Control, its device for broadcasting multiple live video boxes. TD Control is based on a touchscreen user interface, which resides in the switcher, allowing the operator to
select the different video box compositions and assign different video sources to each of the video boxes. This enables, for instance, switching on air from six video sources to completely different video sources with a click of a button.
“Many of today’s news and talk show programmes want to broadcast multiple video boxes to accommodate

resource intensive with regards to the equipment and personnel that was needed,” said Ofir Benovici, director of marketing at Orad. “TD
low power consumption (24W) and weight (2.9kg). The CM-170W also
features FSI’s colour fidelity engine for precise 3D LUT managed colour space selections including Rec 709, EBU, SMPTE C, and DCI P3. This is coupled with standard 3G/HD/SD- SDI, component, composite
and DVI-I inputs to allow for support of any video standard ranging from NTSC and PAL to HD and 2k, the maker says. Other features include 12 mode scopes that work across all inputs, audio disembedding, audio level meters, markers, exposure check and an advanced pixel level measurement tool, says the company. 10.F39
Additional features include a DVB-T terrestrial front-end for monitoring off-air signals, DVB-Common Interface for conditional access, multiservice descrambling, and advanced DVB-S2 capabilities, such as 16/32 ASPK demodulation and multistream/VCM support. 1.F56
The 17-inch CM-170W is designed for field use
Control consolidates the various technical functions into one box that is typically managed by the technical director, reducing the number of steps and equipment needed. Graphics, video and video box layout is
assembled in a few clicks. It is incredibly fast, accurate and simple-to-use.” TD Control takes advantage of Orad’s 3Designer authoring software for designing the 2D and 3D DVE effects as well as any other graphical elements. Additionally it is possible to add audio effects that will be triggered along with the DVE effects and transitions. 7.B27
