Harris unveils DTV receiver for stations

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Harris Corp.'s Broadcast Systems Division said
today it is rolling out the first professional TV receiver based on the U.S.
digital TV standard.

Harris said its ARX-H1000 receiver, which complies with the U.S.
Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) spec, will allow television
stations broadcasting digital TV signals to monitor them all along the
broadcast chain from encoding to the off-air signal.

The Harris receiver can decode ATSC signals in any of the standard's 18
video formats and can receive eight-vestigial sideband signals from VHF and
UHF channels.

The receiver also supports closed-caption information and the Program
System Information Protocol's electronic program guide that helps viewers
find digital TV channels that are often nowhere near a local station's NTSC
channel.

Earlier this year, Harris introduced an ATSC MPEG-2 encoding system that
is widely used in the United States to provide locally encoded signals.

More than 30 Harris receivers are operating at U.S. stations, and the
company said volume deliveries will begin in the next 30 day
