Q) Don't know what PSIP is?
A)March 4, 1999
(Alexandria, VA) – Continuing the effort to assist broadcasters meet
their broadcast requirements, THOMCAST Communications, Inc.,
through its COMARK Division CDS Unit, introduces "Pearl". "Pearl" is
an ATSC compliant PSIP (Program System Information Protocol)
system manager capable of creating and editing PSIP tables in the
Electronic Program Guide.
Most importantly to broadcasters, Pearl meets the requirements of the
ATSC A/65 standard, and is a stand-alone system which can be
implemented in a variety of configurations, independent of the encoder
manufacturer. The inherent architecture of the Pearl system allows for
integration with traffic and automation systems. Pearl is a Windows NT
based program designed with the latest information protocol
technology. Though only recently introduced, the system has already
been sold to several prominent broadcasting companies, including LIN
Broadcasting and WFMZ (Allentown, PA).
Mark Richer, Vice President and General Manager of the CDS Unit, is
enthusiastic about the new product offering. "Pearl is a key element of
a digital broadcasting system, and the first offering in a new line of
innovative ATSC-MPEG-2 transport stream products from
THOMCAST. We've built upon our expertise in ATSC and MPEG-2
standards", says Richer.
The first generation Pearl system joins the large family of proven
products from THOMCAST, which has extensive knowledge of MPEG
transport processing. THOMCAST has successfully marketed a DVB
version of the Pearl system in Europe.
The THOMCAST Communications, Inc., COMARK Division, is an
Emmy award winner and a leading supplier of high power UHF and
VHF television transmitters for both analog and digital technologies.
COMARK provides broadcasters with Complete Digital Solutions
through its CDS Unit, which specializes in consulting, project
management, systems design and integration, and DTV products.
On January 1, 1999, COMARK Communications, Inc., and
COMWAVE merged to form THOMCAST Communications, Inc.
Both COMARK and COMWAVE have been operating as separate
companies owned by THOMCAST for several years. THOMCAST is
the largest terrestrial broadcasting product and service organization in
the world.
