Nucomm Goes HD with 7 Series

Nucomm unveiled
its new 7 Series HD ready products at IBC 2008. Nucomm’s entire ENG/OB product
line is now capable of HD operation using built in encoding/decoding
technology. All 7 Series products can
be delivered with HD capability or delivered as SD for a future field upgrade
to HD via a software key. Prior to this announcement Nucomm’s HD
product line consisted of the CamPac 2 HD/SD wireless camera transmitter and
Newscaster DR HD/SD diversity receiver, which have been well received as the
premier wireless camera system in the industry.

The 7 Series replaces the SD product line as Nucomm’s standard product.
All 7
Series products still contain multiple
modulation modes (VSB,COFDM,DVB-S,FM), dual / tri band RF outputs and ease of
operation to name a few.
“Nucomm
is pleased to be introducing its new 7 Series HD line,” says Nucomm CEO Dr. John Payne. “Prior to this launch, with the exception of
the CamPac 2 and
Newscaster DR,
Nucomm products were not capable of HD operation unless you used a third-party
HD encoder and decoder product. Through
our new 7 Series, we are now able to offer fully integrated products that can
be interchangeably used in both HD and SD formats. This eliminates the need for external acces sories that would otherwise be required, presenting
simplicity and convenience for today’s broadcaster.”
Among the
several products making up the series are the Channel Master TX7 Portable
Transmitter, the Channel Master RX7 Portable Receiver, the Newscaster VT7
ENG/OB Van Transmitter and the Newscaster CR7 Central Receiver.
