Peak Time for NEL

Peak Communications has put together a fully integrated solution, with the EMC7002 providing a compact, low power, versatile Encoder Modulator Converter with the highest possible quality output . It provides an essential and professional choice for news gatherers worldwide.

(PRWEB) July 28, 2004 -- An exciting new entry to the market of Encoder Modulator Converters is Peak Communications' EMC7002 highly integrated solution. The EMC7002 provides just what the market has been missing - the vital combination of best quality MPEG-2 encoding, modulation and uplink technology that gives the ultimate in performance in DVB-S markets. This is achieved using the unique combination of NELs SuperENC MPEG-2 Encoder supported by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, together with options for Peak's field proven, high quality Upconverter technology.

Versatility in functionality are key to the design philosophy behind the EMC7002. With digital SDI/Embedded-SDI or analogue video input options, the EMC7002 provides an MPEG-2 transport stream supporting high quality, ultra low encoding delay and MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio. The standard product has an L-Band output with the versatility of options for 70MHz output, a 70MHz break-out loop combined with a higher specification L-Band output or an additional stage to C or Ku Band with a break-out loop at L-Band. Users can choose the output suitable for their application. ASI breakout is available as standard. With NEL's encoder module consuming less than 3W, this places Peak's EMC7002 as one of the lowest prime power consumers of any encoder modulator in the market today.

The EMC7002 features a versatile QPSK modulator as standard, with firmware upgradeable to allow additional modulation schemes for 8PSK and 16QAM with convolution FEC coding and Reed-Solomon outer coding.

Ease-of-use in ENG and DSNG operation has been a key requirement, so the user is given the flexibility of controlling all baseband parameters up to the indicated final TX frequency from one easy-to use menu structure. Featuring a Hot Key System and large graphical LCD display, the EMC7002 is quick and simple to operate.
