Media Links Launches HD Fly Away Pack

Media Links, a leading provider of high-definition video transport solutions, has announced the launch of its HD Fly Away Pack, a premium quality compression and network interface system that allows the field delivery of HD signals via increasingly widespread 270 Mbit/s local loop circuits.
Utilizing Media Links' HD270 Coax codecs, low delay, minimal compression and exceptional quality contribution is achieved. This provides users with a system that can backhaul HD from the field using as little compression as possible. In addition to optimal quality encoding, the MD2000 series frame - upon which the HD Fly Away Pack is based - supports a wide array of video processing products: audio embedding, up and down conversion, frame synchronizers and more.
"For remote transmission service providers who've historically offered satellite transmission equipment for news and events customers, this solution adds an additional capability that can broaden the bandwidth and service offerings that they can sell to their customers," said Luann Linnebur, Media Links' Director of Business Development.
In the US in particular there is an increasing availability of 270 Mbit/s local loops at cost-effective rates and this makes them, in combination with Media Links' technology, an economical solution for the backhaul of HD content.
"After carefully examining the market and looking at the possibilities out there we have been able to develop an elegant and cost-effective solution to provide a breakthrough in HD video contribution. Media Links' technology always ensures optimum quality and the HD Fly Away Pack introduces a new level of flexibility," concludes Linnebur.
