I might add that strong volume on up days and weak volume on down days is a positive sign. Jp

Tiernan's new encoders at NAB......................................... ijumpstart.com NAB '98: Tiernan Plans Five MPEG-2 Product Roll-Outs <Picture><Picture><Picture> Most companies are revving their pre-NAB '98 engines high about now. And Tiernan Communications' engine is roaring particularly loud. The company, which continues to collect customers for its varied DTV services, hopes to grab even more at the annual NAB show. Tiernan plans to roll out five new products during the April conference, making 1997-98 a very busy year for the company-the planned NAB DTV product roll outs will bring Tiernan's new MPEG-2 product releases to 12 in the last 12 months, company officials said. The new products, a mix of encoders, receiver/encoders, network interfaces and modulators, are designed to solve many of the digital compression problems faced by broadcasters, cable companies and common carriers. The five new products are: TE6 high performance MPEG-2 encoder: Designed for professional television broadcast applications requiring compression to the 4:2:2 Studio Profile @ Main Level and 4:2:0 Main Profile @ Main Level according to the MPEG-2 standard (ISO/IEC 13818-2). It provides superior quality images at data rates up to 50 Mbps. The encoder multiplexes compressed video, audio, and data channels into a single DVB compliant transport stream; TDR600 MPEG-2/DVB integrated receiver/decoder (IRD): Designed for broadcast grade applications requiring MPEG-2, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. It provides both digital and analog output of video and audio signals, and provides two high-speed user data channels up to 4,096 Mbps. It can be remotely controlled through RS-232 or Ethernet communications. TDR77, MPEG-2/DVB Integrated Receiver Decoder: A mid-range product suited to 4:2:0 broadcast and professional applications requiring only analog video and audio outputs, with support for teletext and user data services. It is suitable for both SCPC and MCPC applications, and decodes video at programmable transport rates from 2 to 60 Mbps; TUI10 Universal Network interface: Provides new and "greatly increased" flexibility in digital turnaround of satellite and terrestrial links. It converts any RS-422, ASI, G.703 (E2, E3 and DS3) input and provides an output signal in any of the supported input formats. Typical application of the TUI1O is the connection of two MPEG-2 devices-satellite or terrestrial-that do not use the same physical interface; and TMOD1000: A compact QPSK/DVB modulator option that can be fitted into Tiernan encoders. It provides an efficient 2U encoder/modulator package which is the smallest, lightest, most rugged and lowest cost in the industry. It is ideal for compact digital satellite news gathering applications and provides a 70 MHz IF output which can be supplied to a Satellite Frequency Upconverter.
