Vislink Signs Agreement With Hitachi Kokusai Electric Comark

Vislink has signed a partnership agreement with Hitachi Kokusai Electric Comark LLC, a manufacturer and supplier of DTV transmitters, encoding systems and associated field services for 50 years.

The agreement appoints COMARK as an authorised reseller, integrator and service provider of Vislink's high quality, reliable, real time video communication solutions for NextGenTV deployments. COMARK will be focusing its NextGenTV solutions on the North American broadcast DTV market.

COMARK re-launched Comark Digital Services (CDS) in 2018 to assist customers with navigating its migration from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0. CDS currently operates a full laboratory for equipment testing, integration and customer demonstrations, providing market-leading solutions with best-of-breed technology and system expertise to help customers jump into the exciting possibilities offered by the new DTV standard.

With the new agreement, COMARK and CDS will offer Vislink’s ATSC 3.0 ready digital video microwave system: IPLink 3.0. This new system allows the broadcaster to smoothly migrate from the traditional ASI transport platform to a future IP-centric system architecture. The IPLink system delivers ultra-high linear RF output performance coupled with the reliability that LDPC forward error correction affords in controlling errors in data transmissions over long or unreliable microwave paths.
