By Paul Watson According to 2wcom, its new FlexDSR02+ and FlexDSR04+ digital satellite receivers set a new benchmark in audio contribution via satellite and IP, and offer far more versatility, power and integration. Both receivers support all major audio formats, provide fail-safe dedicated hardware, automatic programme switching, and SIRC remote control through satellite, functions which allow broadcasters greater operational flexibility and cost savings, the company says. Both also accept inputs from satellite (DVB-S/S2), internet (IP), and synchronous transmission lines (STL with ASI); and thanks to a SD card- based internal memory capacity, they facilitate a wide variety of additional back-up solutions and
Baseball gets compressed
Adtec Digital
By Ian McMurray The 2013 MLB (Major League Baseball) All-Star Game in New York saw Adtec Digital partner with Encompass Digital Media to provide compression solutions for the coverage. In addition, Adtec provided compression, multiplexing and decoding for MLB Network’s exclusive telecast of the MLB All-Star Red Carpet Show earlier that day. “We had 10 HD paths
from Citi Field for the All-Star Game and four HD paths from Bryant Park for the MLB All-Star Red Carpet Show,” said Kevin Ancelin, SVP sales and Adtec Digital co- founder. “Multiplexing was done by the DTA-3050 and transmission fed the live broadcast globally. Two dozen Adtec RD-60 IRDs were used between both locations to provide broadcast quality confidence decoding of the local compression and for return paths from the studio to the event for both the Red Carpet Show and All-Star Game.” 1.D01
transmission scenarios. 2wcom’s SIRC (Satellite Inband Remote Control) provides remote control and management of the entire network of IRDs via satellite, without requiring an additional backline, which makes
it possible for radio stations to streamline the integration of profitable regionalised commercials and other content. Full standard control via SNMP and web interface is also provided.
Supporting up to four audio inputs, the FlexDSR02+ and FlexDSR04+ are 19in, 1RU units prepared for a rack installation with display and jogwheel, diverse tuner models, SNMP v2c, a wide range of
professional audio analogue and digital outputs, Gigabit IP, ASI, relays and inputs, and internal memory. In addition, they have a very short boot-up time of just five seconds. 8.E78
