dB Broadcast Announces Showman 1000 Multi-Standard TV Receiver/Demodulator

dB Broadcast, the Cambridge-based leading UK independent system integrator, has announced the release of the Showman 1000 series of multi-standard analogue television receiver/demodulators.
The Showman 1000 series can be used with PAL, SECAM and NTSC television standards, allowing for operation across the world and is the latest in a line of well established Showman products to have been developed over the last decade.
The new receiver is based on the BT Showman 5000 and 6000 ranges and is designed for applications such as transmitter feeds and monitoring, outside-broadcast reception and service acquisition in digital television head ends.
The Showman 1000 range consists of two units; a multi-standard base model for monitoring applications and a higher specification unit incorporating IF inputs and outputs, alarms and logging features along with additional audio processors.
Tom Swan, Sales and Marketing Director at dB Broadcast, said: "With so much interest in digital TV, it is easy to forget that the majority of people around the world still watch television using traditional analogue reception.
"The Showman range has been available for over a decade and the new dB Showman 1000 will allow us to supply the world's analogue TV customers using a single product range rather than market-specific variants."
The Showman 1000 series is available now and will be on show at IBC2008. The first significant order for the Showman 1000 was received earlier this year from a transmitter manufacturer requiring 65 units.
