RF CENTRAL FEATURES RFX-CMT-II 2 GHz AND 5.8 GHz CAMERA TRANSMITTERS AT HD WORLD 2008

New York, NY, October 22, 2008 – RF Central, a brand of The Vitec Group, and a leading digital microwave technology provider, showcased its RFX-CMT-II camera-mounted transmitters in both 2 GHz and 5.8 GHz at HD World 2008. While the 2 GHz unit is designed for live ENG news and sports broadcast applications and the 5.8 GHz unit is geared for live sports stadium and arena coverage as well as license free applications, both offer complete HD upgradeability with the latest in high-quality, low-latency, HD encoding technology.

Each featuring inputs of HD, SDI, ASI or Composite video signals, these new products are perfect for live and real time image transmissions. The units excel in live broadcasts, live stadium displays, surveillance, monitoring and situational awareness. The compact units offer a variable 6/7/8 MHz modulator, 100mw power output, and full MPEG menu control by the customer. They are built for live transmissions requiring the ultimate in quality and performance from a wireless camera transmitter. The 2 GHz and 5.8 GHz CMT-II’s linear RF amplification technology limits spectral regrowth at full power to less than -35dBc, offering robust RF performance. Other frequencies are available upon request.

“RF Central prides itself in providing commercial off-the-shelf technology alternatives and sophisticated solutions for today’s world of live broadcast and live image transmission of news and sports coverage,” says RF Central CEO Jeff Winemiller. “The RFX-CMT-II in 2 GHz and 5.8 GHz units are representative of that mission.”

While the RFX-CMT-II 2 GHz and 5.8 GHz units are available in Standard Definition, they are software upgradeable to full High Definition (HD) via software key and will interface with all standard broadcast portable power systems.
