DTV transport........................................... digitaltheater.com California Microwave MRC Introduces TwinStream Dual Carrier Radio for Transitional Digital TV Transport Requirements [ Back to the News \| Back HOME ] SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- California Microwave, Inc. (NASDAQ/NMS:CMIC) announced today that its Microwave Radio Communications (MRC) business area has introduced the TwinStream(tm) microwave radio system, which reduces the cost and simplifies the implementation of digital television studio-to-transmitter links. The First Dual-Carrier Microwave Radio for Digital TV Transport The TwinStream radio is the first dual carrier radio for transmission of uncompressed legacy NTSC plus ATSC signals in a single 25 MHz RF channel. Featuring the MRC patent-pending "Gemini IF" approach to combining analog and digital signals as offset "intermediate frequencies" (IF) in microwave system design, the TwinStream radio is ideal for studio-to-transmitter links (STLs), transmitter-to-studio links (TSLs), and satellite backhaul requirements. Both California Microwave's Terrestrial Wireless and Satellite Communications divisions provide transmission solutions for the television broadcasting market. Supporting the TV Broadcasting Industry's November DTV Sign-Ons California Microwave's MRC team has worked closely with three major network broadcast groups to provide advance versions of the TwinStream radio for their FCC-mandated November 1998 digital television (DTV) sign-on requirements. MRC's support of these demanding new applications is the latest in its long history of providing market innovations for television broadcasting. The TwinStream radio also is ideal for other evolutionary transitional digital transport requirements such as digital and analog programming feeds to cable headends and digital and analog newsgathering backhauls. Based on the number of awards made to date, MRC estimates that it has received 90%, maintaining its strong leadership role in the marketplace.
