MUMBAI: Tandberg Television has provided a combination of compression products and managed services to US media conglomerate NBC Universal for the launch of its new high definition (HD) channels, including Bravo HD, USA HD, Sci-Fi HD and CNBC HD.

 

The deal enables NBC Universal to expand its programme offerings to cable, satellite and IPTV service providers throughout the US.

NBC Universal's Larry C Thaler says, "We benefit from a long standing relationship with Tandberg Television and value their innovative solutions which impact how content providers can more effectively distribute programming. We were excited to leverage Tandberg Television's expertise and products to deliver the highest quality HD experience for our viewers nationwide."

For the first time in the US, Tandberg Television supplied its DVB-S2 8PSK modulators with Prekor to distribute programming to service providers. The DVB-S2 modulation standard is designed to increase the throughput of a satellite transponder, or increase downlink margins for better reception.

 
NBC Universal also deployed a Tandberg system that includes MPEG-2 HD multiplexes and the Tandberg director network management and receiver control system.

In addition, Tandberg Television also provided NBC Universal with its new Director Advantage service, a complete turnkey managed solution for the deployment of IRDs, and a multi-service decryptor fully integrated with the Director System.
