Corporation's (NYSE:HRS) Broadcast Communications Division
announces a prominent display for the emerging mobile TV market at
IBC2006, with ongoing demonstrations at its main stand (7.621, Hall
7) and the Mobile Zone (M225). Its participation in early stage
trials across Europe and Australia, as well as its development of
transmitters for Modeo and Qualcomm MediaFLO U.S.A. applications
(both scheduled to launch by 2007), have positioned Harris as a
leading transmission vendor for mobile TV applications. At IBC2006,
Harris will demonstrate mobile TV broadcasts for the leading
standards (DVB-H, FLO(TM) and T-DMB) featuring Harris transmitters
and infrastructure/networking products, as well as third- party
receiving equipment. "Our mobile TV demonstrations at IBC will
clearly demonstrate the scope of products available today from
Harris," said Dale Mowry, vice president and general manager of
Harris Broadcast Communications Division, Television Broadcast
Systems business unit. "Beyond our leadership in transmission
platforms for mobile TV, a broad range of Harris content delivery
solutions for mobile TV will be on display, including platforms for
DVB-H, FLO and T-DMB applications. Each standard offers viable
benefits for operators. IBC is an excellent opportunity to
demonstrate these benefits and how Harris is equipped to offer the
most complete, technically sound transmission and infrastructure
solutions in the broadcast industry." Mobile TV transmission
solutions from Harris have been used to develop and prove the
effectiveness of the DVB-H, FLO and T-DMB standards for mobile
broadcast television. The company will highlight its complete
mobile TV product range through four separate demonstrations in the
Mobile Zone. A Harris NetVX(TM) networking system will deliver
content to the Mobile Zone from the main Harris stand in some
demonstrations. DVB-H over UHF The Harris DVB-H UHF solutions are
world proven in both high- and low- power applications. The
higher-power Atlas liquid-cooled transmitter (offered in versions
from 1.25 to 9 kW) is featured in the main Harris booth. In the
Mobile Zone, Harris is delivering DVB-H content to a handset via
the Atlas DTV-660 air-cooled UHF transmitter, which is offered in
power levels up to 1.5 kW. DVB-H over L-Band The Harris Cool
Play(TM) Mobile TV transmitter offers a unique "convection-cooled"
architecture for outdoor installations. The 1670 MHz version of the
transmitter will transmit video to a handset developed for Modeo, a
U.S. DVB-H operator. The Cool Play 1670 transmitter is available at
power levels up to 400 watts in L-Band. FLO(TM) over UHF The entire
of range of Harris ATSC transmitters are now available for FLO
applications, based on the new Harris Apex FLO exciter that Harris
is featuring in the Mobile Zone. Harris will receive live
transmissions of a multichannel FLO service on a handset. This
marks the first Harris display in Europe of FLO transmission
products. T-DMB over DAB As one of the market leaders and pioneers
in DAB, Harris has a full line of VHF and L-Band DAB transmitters
that can be used to deliver mobile TV over DAB. In the Mobile Zone,
Harris will demonstrate the receipt of digital radio channels and
multichannel TV on a T-DMB handset from a Harris DAB-660
transmitter. Harris will demonstrate how the standard's highly
efficient audio encoding allows for transmission of multiple
digital radio and video channels using the same transmitter. At the
Harris booth, the company will display its strengths in terrestrial
TV transmission. The Harris Atlas(TM) transmitter family will be
prominently displayed in the delivery section of the Harris stand.
As a global UHF transmitter platform, the Atlas liquid-cooled
transmitter family supports analog, digital and mobile television
standards. Visitors can see an active demonstration of the Atlas
DVB-T/DVB-H platform delivering HDTV and H.264 mobile TV content. A
widescreen display will receive and broadcast the HDTV content,
with the H.264 mobile content received on a handheld device. The
terrestrial TV area also will include a demonstration of the
Harris/Neural Audio MultiMerge for DTV. MultiMerge uses intelligent
detection to blend any audio (mono, stereo, matrix encoded stereo
(L/R), and 5.1 discrete content) into a seamless, uninterrupted 5.1
surround sound stream. Harris began developing terrestrial
transmission platforms for mobile TV in 2004 after participating in
early demonstrations and the development of the DVB-H standard. The
company's recent acquisition of Leitch Technology adds a range of
servers, routers, switchers and processing equipment to Harris(R)
NetVX video encoding and distribution systems, providing the
infrastructure for bringing content into the mobile TV headend.
Meanwhile, equipment from the Harris Software Systems business unit
adds a complement of broadband software and distribution equipment
for network management, traffic scheduling, digital asset
management and ad insertion, among other applications. The entire
portfolio gives Harris the most comprehensive solution for mobile
TV. About Harris Broadcast Communications Division Harris is an
