Newtec demonstrates bandwidth-boosting technologies
As 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) and high
dynamic range (HDR) become
more prevalent, broadcasters de-
livering this content over satellite
require higher bitrates and more
bandwidth.
To address these requirements,
Newtec is offering solutions such
as the MCX7000 multi-carrier sat-
ellite gateway, which utilises the
DVB-S2X standard to introduce
the concept of channel bonding.
MCX7000 allows a large 4K/UHD
transport stream to be carried in
parallel over up to three satellite
transponders.
Because 4K/UHD and HDR ex-
ert more pressure on contribution
Newtec’s MCX7000 multi-carrier satellite gateway introduces the concept of channel bonding for operators to more
efficiently deliver 4K/UHD and HDR content.
links, required bitrates typically
exceed standard available satellite
frequency slots. Channel bonding
thus provides operators with the
freedom to combine multiple non-
adjacent slots.
At booth 1.A49, visitors can
also check out the MDM2510
and the MDM5010. The former is
Newtec’s latest DVB-S2X wideband
modem, and is a two-way, high-
throughout satellite (HTS) modem
that supports a wide range of IP
services. The MDM2510, like the
rest of Newtec’s DVB-S2X mo-
dem portfolio, is able to address
wideband HTS transponders up to
500MHz.
The MDM5010, also a high-
throughput modem, is capable
of handling 500Mbps of traffic. It
enables network operators to set
up almost any type and size of net-
work or any available satellite, ac-
cording to Newtec. The MDM5010
also supports a diverse range of
IP services , including Internet/In-
tranet access, voice-over-IP (VoIP),
backbones for mobile backhauling,
as well as trunking to fibre restoral/
backup services, contribution and
multicasting services.
Type R set for European debut
Making its European debut for Calrec Audio is Type
R, an IP-based radio system. Type R utilises standard
networking technology and combines it with configur-
able soft panels that can be tailored accordingly
to an operator’s needs.
Type R’s physical control system comprises
three panels: a fader panel, a large soft panel,
and a small soft panel. Each is compatible with
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, and
powered over Ethernet to keep cabling to a minimum.
Packed within 2U, Type R is integrated with I/O
resources, and supports up to three independent
mixing environments in a single core. Type R is also
equipped with the ability to use multiple mixing
engines, allowing users to deploy the IP-based radio
system as independent studio consoles, microphone
processors or utility mixing.
Calrec has also upgraded its Brio audio consoles
with expanded channel capability. The new Brio DSP
expansion packs are now available, bringing the
Brio12 up from 48 to 64 input channels, and the
Brio36 from 64 to 96 input channels.
Calrec’s Brio consoles are designed to support
a multitude of broadcast applications from live
sports to news and entertainment. Particularly
for the Brio36, the console includes a range of on
board I/O, and is integrated with Hydra2 network
compatibility.
To find out more, visit Calrec at booth 8.C61.
Designed as a IP-based radio system, Calrec’s Type R
utilises standard networking technology with configurable
soft panels to cater to users’ needs.
