Lyon Video taps QuStream Integrity

QuStream
Corporation has received a major order from Lyon Video embracing
Integrity-series signal processing equipment for two of the facility’s HD
mobile production units. These will be the second and third trucks that Lyon
Video has chosen to equip with QuStream technology. Founded in 1987 and based
in Columbus, Ohio, Lyon Video provides full-service video
and film production, post-production and DVD authoring in addition to mobile
television production.

“The new QuStream signal processors will be housed in our HD upgrade to
the MU5 expando and in our new MU9 dedicated HD truck,” comments Lyon
Video’s President Bob Lyon. “The processors will provide both vehicles
with facilities for bidirectional signal conversion between HD and SD as well
as interfacing between digital and analog signal domains. QuStream was the
logical choice both for the very large number of features they manage to pack
into very compact dimensions and for their excellent post sales support.”

“New customers are always a vote of confidence in a manufacturer’s
products and technical services,” adds Karlton Burn, QuStream’s Vice
President of Global Sales & Marketing. “Returning customers doubly so.
Our range of HD and multi-format routers, interfaces and signal processors
continues to be in strong demand both for mobile and studio applications.”

The order for QuStream’s Integrity-series products includes the innovative QuStream
FRM-603 SmartFrame. Providing 20 card slots in only 3 RU, the FRM-603 can
include optional features such as redundant controllers, redundant power and
even redundant sync reference. The frame also allows signal sharing between
various cards, offering unprecedented flexibility in system design.

Lyon Video’s system consists of 82 DDA617 down-converting distribution
amplifiers (HD to SDI/analog); 12 DVA617 1 x 7 digital video DAs (270 Mbit/s to
3 Gbit/s); six DVA626 dual 1 x 3 digital video DAs (270 Mbit/s to 3 Gbit/s); 24
UDC-550 up/down/cross converters with internal Perfect Palette™ video legalizer
and HD-SDI, SD-SDI and NTSC/PAL outputs; 32 UDC-550-CC up/down/cross convertors
including full RGB color correction and 32 FS-511 video synchronizer cards. All
cards are controlled by four of the popular RCP-503 Remote Control Panels.
