RF Central Goes 'Diverse'

A leading digital microwave technology provider, RF Central, has introduced its new RMR-X6-II six-way COFDM diversity receiver at IBC 2008.
Building on the success of its original RFX-RMR-X6, the RMR-X6-II delivers new advancements and capabilities.
Representing the latest in maximum ratio combining technology, the RMR-X6-II offers superior diversity reception with new cutting-edge features including 'On Screen Display' of stream data, Ethernet monitoring for remote control access and IP encapsulation for Internet broadcast.
Among its other attributes is the ability to deliver both SD and HD (SDI) video when paired with a standard or high definition external ASI decoder. Delivering a broadcast-rugged package that captures the essence of flexibility and forward thinking design, the RMR-X6-II is outfitted with a straightforward front panel design, compact chassis and OLED graphic display.
"Through the development of the new RMR-X6-II, RF Central has expanded diversity receiver options for today's broadcasters," said RF Central Chief Executive Officer Jeff Winemiller.
"While customers can continue to take full advantage of diversity reception with all of the benefits of maximum ratio combining established by our original RFX-RMR-X6, they now have the equipment necessary for doing this as they transition into full HD with multiple broadcast delivery platforms."
RF Central, LLC manufactures and supplies state-of-the-art microwave equipment to television broadcast and government customers throughout the United States.
RF Central, along with Nucomm, Inc. and Microwave Service Company, form The Vitec Group RF Systems business unit, a part of The Vitec Group Broadcast Systems Division.
