Harris Corporation's ATSC Mobile DTV technology platform for broadcasters and consumer electronics manufacturers is expected to be available within the next 60 days. The technology enables the first significant new over-the-air broadcast medium in decades, delivering a mix of broadcast-quality video and data services to a variety of consumer mobile devices.
In cooperation with the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC), Harris is presenting a series of live ATSC Mobile DTV demos this week at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. ATSC Mobile DTV was recently elevated to ATSC Candidate Standard status, an official recognition that paves the way for consumer electronics manufacturers to begin developing receiving devices. Approximately 95 percent of the technical capabilities of the ATSC Candidate Standard are being demonstrated at CES this year. Harris has indicated that 100 percent of the technology required for Mobile DTV transmission will be deliverable to broadcasters within 60 days. The complete Harris ATSC Mobile DTV platform provides the broadcast equipment that ATSC broadcasters need to immediately begin transmission of ATSC Mobile DTV services once the standard is approved.
The complete Harris ATSC Mobile DTV platform includes the software-definable Harris Apex M2X exciter and the Harris NetVX networking platform, which features a mobile video encoder, multiplexer,
and encapsulator. Harris is also working with Roundbox and Triveni
Digital to integrate Electronic Program Guide services for program
stream and data information into its ATSC Mobile DTV platform. Harris
has been fully engaged in the development of Mobile TV technology for
more than two years.
