ViVe TV orders Miranda signal processing for five OB trucks

Miranda
Technologies announced that ViVe TV,
Venezuela’s
public service television network, has placed an order for a large volume of
Densit Series signal processing cards for five new
OB
trucks.

The new
trucks are all designed for operation with 12 cameras, and are to be assembled
in

Madrid by
Miranda’s Spanish distributor, Eurocom Broadcast. The
OB
trucks will be primarily used for satellite uplinking and live production of
events.

”ViVe TV are saving a great deal of money, as well as space, with the Miranda
signal processing system”, said Francisco Menchen, Vice-President of Eurocom
Broadcast.

”However, what’s impressed them most, is the sheer depth and breadthof
capabilities the Densit range offers for multi-format OB trucks. ViVe TV is
confident the system will provide the quality and reliability required for live
environments.”

ViVe TV’s five trucks can potentially handle conversion and synchronisation of
up to 300 video and audio channels. Each truck will be equipped with three
Densit frames, with up to 20 modules per 2RU chassis.

The signal processing includes 28 FRS-1101 SDI
frame synchronizers with the proc-amp option for high quality, control and
adjustment of incoming satellite feeds. These cards feature a frame
synchroniser, full video and audio proc-amp controls, on board audio delay, processing
and embedding, as well as test signal generation.

Twenty-seven UAP-1781 universal audio processors will handle the audio for the
five trucks, with each card processing up to eight discrete audio channels. The
input processing includes gain, video tracking delay, additional fixed delay and
phase correction. The output processing block includes mixing, an additional
gain/attenuation stage, and full channel shuffling. Each output channel is composed of a mix of
any two input channels, allowing stereo to mono down mixes, voice-overs and
custom-mix operations.

ViVe TV also ordered Miranda’s DEC-1021 composite analogue video to SDI
encoders, ENC-1101 SDI to composite/CVA/RGB encoders, and 74 SDA-1142 SDI
distribution amplifiers.

Miranda’s Densit Series now includes over 75 different modules for distribution,
conversion, processing and routing of digital/analog video and audio signals.
