Broadcast CatalogueBroadcast without Boundaries
Issue 2 – February 2013
Welcome to the Cobham Broadcast catalogue. Cobham draws on the company’s cutting edge technologies to develop mission-critical products for the broadcast market which provide real technical and operational benefits to newsgathering, live production and other high profile applications empowering users to broadcast without boundaries. Backed by more than 50 years’ valuable experience of transmitting and receiving information in difficult electronic environments in the military and surveillance market, Cobham’s Broadcast portfolio benefits from the ultra-high build quality and ruggedness these products require.
Introduction
03
Why choose Cobham?
Cobham’s technical ability and capacity to develop new
products is well ahead of the market. Its total control
over encoding and modulation processes and use of
FPGAs, rather than fixed ASICs, gives it a unique ability
to quickly add new features, improve performance and
address customers’ specific requirements.
Cobham’s HD broadcast systems employ next-generation
low-delay H.264 encoding. The increased encoding
efficiency this gives enables users to transmit at reduced
bit-rates with no loss in quality. This means more robust
modulation schemes can be used, giving increased
range and a reduction in the amount of receive
hardware required.
The systems are also extremely compact and consume
significantly less power – typically 60% less than
equivalent MPEG2 systems. In addition cutting edge
communication techniques, already developed for and
in use in the surveillance sector – such as bi-directional,
single-frequency COFDM systems and MESH networking
– are available as part of the Cobham Broadcast range.
Cobham products are designed to be set up quickly, to
deliver the level of performance professionals require,
and to perform reliably throughout the job. They use
the latest communications technologies to achieve
the quality and performance standards expected while
using the minimum power with the maximum flexibility.
