Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT) Highlights Compact Portable Video Transmitter at IBC 0

Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), a Business Unit within the Vitec Groups Videocom Division and a leader in advanced digital microwave systems serving the broadcast, sports and entertainment markets, highlights its Nucomm Compact Portable Transmitter (CPTx-II) at IBC 2013 (Hall 1, Stand D.40).

The Nucomm CPTx-II is a lightweight, It is ideal for covering motorcycle and bicycle races, marathons, triathlons and other fast-paced, high-speed ENG/OB events using such smaller on-course vehicles as cars, motorcycles and even bicycles.

We are excited to bring our CPTx-II transmitter to IBC and introduce it to the European market, says IMT Divisional Chief Executive Stephen Shpock. The CPTx-II was designed to offer exceptional RF performance and ease of operation. Instead of run and shoot, motorcycles and other smaller ENG/OB and production vehicles now are run and transmit.

The CPTx-II supports video/audio/data/telemetry with selectable modulation bandwidths of 6, 7 and 8MHz. In addition to the small size, the unit has very low latency and low power consumption. It weighs about 3kg and comes with a variety of bespoke mounts, including special mounts for motorcycles. The maneuverability of a motorcycle fitted with video transmission capability offers significant advantages when covering road races, as the camera can follow the action and get onto roads that might be too narrow for a car to navigate safely among the athletes.

The video from the CPTx-II can be received on any MPEG-4-capable handheld receiver and receive site. As it uses advanced features of the H.264 codec, it is capable of a 30 percent bit-rate reduction and video quality improvement compared to other encoders. It is also capable of AES encryption, making it ideal for high-profile live sports broadcast applications.

The CPTx-II is another example of IMTs commitment to providing innovative products to the broadcast industry worldwide, adds Shpock.
