DirecTV has selected Leitch's Videotek VTM-450E HD/SD multi-format on-screen test instruments and VSG-204D serial digital sync generators as integral components in their multi-year HD expansion project at DirecTV broadcast centers in Los Angeles, and Castle Rock.
DirecTV, the nation's leading digital television service and the second largest multi-channel video program distributor in the United States based on the number of subscribers, has placed an initial order for more than 30 of the VTM-450E HD/SD models.
