Switcher usable for mobile applications
DVLab By Ian McMurray
The DSC945 Digital Video Switcher is described by its manufacturer DVLab as a powerful but easy to use and cost- effective solution which, because of its construction, is suitable for portable or mobile applications. Its functional capabilities are said to allow it to be used for live broadcast, show, presentation and interviewing as well as for production in studios. Available software for the DSC945 includes DSC Config setting software, DSC Remote PC remote control software and TitleMaster titling software. The unit features a built-in still store, together with built-in frame synchroniser generator for each input and delivers 4:2:2 10-bit broadcast quality pictures with 24-bit audio processing. Also featured by the DSC945 are six ‘wipe with border’ patterns, while up to two logos can be inserted (256x128 pixel resolution), one of which can be dynamic. It operates as an 8х2 matrix

Easy switching: The DSC945 is said to be powerful but easy to use
switcher in which any two of the four outputs can be used.
Other capabilities include Genlock mode, a digital clock display, two PIP displays with user-defined borders, and a ‘tally’ output (eight keys). PC remote control is possible via Ethernet (RJ45 ) for setting, firmware upgrade, logo download and configuring the multiviewer. 5.C06
communications specialist Newtec have conducted a trial of Newtec’s latest S2 Extensions and Clean Channel Technology. In the trial results, SpeedCast reported that the combination of the two technologies boosted performance and achieved substantial efficiency gains. The technologies trialled are all incorporated in the Newtec MDM6000 Satellite Modem, which despite being able to handle up to 380Mbps bi- directionally, can also operate at much lower rates as required for multi-carrier applications. “We are always looking to add value for our customers – one way of achieving this is by adopting highly efficient technology to offer them the greatest value for money,” said Pierre- Jean Beylier, CEO, SpeedCast. “We are very pleased with the gains
demonstrated by Newtec, especially while also transmitting at lower rates of a few megabits/sec. We look forward to expanding the use of S2 Extensions to offer significantly improved performance and efficiency for our customers.”
Newtec says that it has taken the lead and teamed up with other DVB members to define and develop the updates to the DVB-S2 standard, currently named S2 Extensions. When comparing the current DVB-S2 standard against the full implementation of S2 Extensions, efficiency gains of up to 37% can be achieved. “We are very pleased to have been given the opportunity to show SpeedCast how effective our new technologies are and this not only for full transponder SCPC links,” said Newtec’s CEO, Serge Van Herck. “The S2 Extensions, which offer OPEX savings that can either boost profits or be passed on to the customer, also offer a very short ROI completion, and thus the new technology ensures excellent value.” 1.A49
