Product detailspsip data viewed in psip manager

ADC PSIP Manager provides PSIP information for multiple playout channels simultaneously, using the industry-standard Programming Metadata Communication Protocol (PMCP). The application can deliver PSIP information to the PSIP generator in two ways: It can push the data to the PSIP generator across a TCP/IP network, or it can deliver the data to a file from which the PSIP generator can pull the information as required. ADC PSIP Manager monitors on-air schedules for changes and creates a PMCP- compatible file when changes occur. This file is then transferred to the PSIP generator through the configured process.

Broadcasters airing live programming with varying end times require their automation system to notify their PSIP generator of changes to start times of upcoming PSIP events. An automated PMCP interface offers value to the automation process by providing accurate start times for each upcoming PSIP event. Automation also requires the ability to notify the PSIP generator of programming changes that occur close to air, including deletion of program events and replacement of existing program events with new ones. ADC PSIP Manager can be installed and operated from a dedicated Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 workstation or from the same workstation on which ADC Air Client or Media Client resides.

D-Series DSX client applications are supported by the Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 operating system. The workstation should include: 1.8 GHz processor 1 GB RAM 40 GB HD drive (minimum) Two (2) Ethernet NICs USB port CD-ROM drive RS-232 to RS-422 converter for each panel to be controlled

Comprehensive ingest capabilities from single spot operation to large-scale batch ingest with quality-control features allow D-Series DSX to function as a standalone automation solution or to be integrated with Harris Invenio or third-party digital asset management systems. Additional ingest capabilities include: traffic System interoperability D-Series DSX performs ingest and material-management operations based on work orders such as record lists, cache lists, copy lists, delete lists and purge lists produced by supported traffic systems. For late-arriving or unscheduled ingest orders, manual entry is quick and easy. Confidence Checking If supported by the video server, a file can begin playout while recording is still in progress a feature that can be used to verify the integrity of encoded material during ingest. Quality Safeguards During ingest, files are recorded with a temporary file name to prevent the material from going to air or being transferred to other locations before its integrity is verified. At the end of recording, you can review the file within the D-Series DSX system to clear it for use. On release, the file name is changed to the proper one; if rejected, the file is deleted to allow the operation to be repeated. Point trimming During the review process, the start and end of a program can be trimmed. Point trimming is particularly useful when recording live feeds; the original material remains in the server so that it can be retrimmed again, if required. The system database holds the new timing information.

Information Server runs on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and an appropriately configured hardware platform. The database must be MySQL Server running on an appropriately configured hardware platform. System Manager runs on the Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7 operating system and an appropriately configured hardware platform.

Digital 950 MHz STL and Data GatewayFeaturespowerful, reliable RF performance

the next generation of digital stL Our challenge: to design a studio-to-transmitter link (STL) for your most demanding 950 MHz applications one as reliable and robust as Harris Intraplex T1 and IP audio links. Digital STL manages much more than audio, so installation and configuration need to be straightforward, not a science project. Data should be optional requiring additional boxes and complexity. Your STL should be ready, out of the box, for AM, FM and HD Radio, as well as future multimedia applications. And, of course, the price has to be right. Earlier digital STLs were not designed for IP data transport. Adding IP data to them required optional modules and external add-ons, and many engineers working on HD Radio installations reported spending much time and money trying to eliminate glitches. Our solution HD Link is designed to manage all HD Radio transport scenarios, regardless of where you place your importer and exporter. Its two prioritized Ethernet paths give preference to HD Radio data over control and other LAN/WAN data. It supports both UDP and TCP, and even handles the switching of TCP return packets over asymmetric IP paths with plug-and-play simplicity. HD Link offers RF power to spare, an integrated IP gateway with sophisticated data handling capabilities, and multiple channels of great audio. The intuitive front panel and remote interfaces tap into the most complete feature set of any microwave STL, yet take less time to configure. Intraplex is broadcastings first choice for rock-solid, full-time operation of T1 STLs. With HD Link, you can now count on the same dependable performance, superior support and long-term value for your microwave links.

Up to 5 W of RF power Harris-designed transmitter and receiver with 200, 250, 300, 375 or 500 kHz of RF bandwidth Low-density parity check (LDPC) Coding advanced error correction requires less receive signal than Reed-Solomon to achieve an equivalent bit error rate (BER), a critical parameter for glitch-free HD Radio performance State-of-the-art modulation technology operates at 32, 64, 128 or 256 QAM, providing more than 3 Mb/s throughput under optimal conditions Built-in circulator provides a high degree of isolation and VSWR protectiondesigned for data
