Livetools Introduced the HD Runner III at the Milpol Fair
posted:
The HD Runner III includes 422/420 MPEG2 low delay encoding, COFDM digital modulation and RF transmission with up to 630mW RF output power in a compact and convenient package. It provides many flexible audio, video and data interfaces as well as an optional wireless camera control system.
It offers user-interchangeable RF modules for 1310-2000, 1990-2700 and 3400-3800 MHz frequency bands.
Technical Characteristics
• Adjustable RF output power : +10 dBm (10 mW) to +28 dBm (630 mW) in 0.1 dBm steps.
• Several frequency bands (available now: 1310-2000, 1990-2700, 3400-3800 MHz; expected soon: 7000-7900 MHz) that can be changed by the user through quick and simple RF module replacement.
• Agile RF output frequency within each frequency band (500 kHz or 250 kHz steps).
• Standard product: 8 MHz channel bandwidth; additional 10 and 20 MHz bandwidths as an option.
• COFDM digital modulation with 2K sub-carriers : DVB-T standard (compliant to ETSI 300744) or DPROx (option).
advertisment

About Livetools Technology SA
LiveTools Technology SA is a Swiss company founded in 1997 (previously named Broadcast Services) which has a wide background in wireless TV production services worldwide. At NAB 2001 Livetools introduced the first portable transmitter combining MPEG2 video compression, COFDM modulation and RF amplification in a package that could fit onto most professional video cameras. This product called CARRY-CODER received 2 awards during the show and the success was immediate: for the first time, TV production teams became able to work without cables and without constraints (no need to point antennas). More than 120 systems of this type have been sold all over the world. In 2006, LiveTools was aquired by SFP (Société Française de Production) and is now a member of Euro Media Group. Euro Media Group is a leading provider of TV & Film facilities and services in Europe.
