ASIA-PACIFIC BROADCASTING

Harris Corporation has received a multimillion-dollar TV transmitter order from the Associated Broadcasting Company (ABC) as part of a large regional transmission network extension project covering key cities across the Philippines. 

The order consists of seven Harris Maxiva ULX liquid-cooled UHF transmitters, together with a Jampro antenna system.

Harris, Jampro and Composite Technology, a Harris distributor in the Philippines, will provide the installation and commissioning.

“ABC chose Harris transmitters because they offered a high-quality, advanced solution that would extend ABC’s TV transmission operations across the Philippines, quickly and affordably,” said Rick Padrinao, managing direct-or of Composite Technology. “Harris and Composite Technology offered a delivery timeline that meets the exacting needs of ABC, while providing one of the most cost-efficient, energy-saving transmission solutions on the market today.”

The Maxiva line of TV transmitters is said to encompass a complete range of multimedia transmitters for UHF broadcasters at virtually every power level. These transmitters incorporate software-definable Harris Apex M2X exciter technology for easy upgrade between multiple modulation schemes, as well as Harris PowerSmart technology for best-in-class power density and efficiency.

“Harris offers a comprehensive portfolio of efficient multi-media transmission solutions that maximise digital per-formance and continues to deliver solutions for major digital transmission network roll-outs around the world,” said Stephen Wong, vice-president, Asia-Paci-fic opera-tions, at Harris Broadcast Communications. “With Harris transmitters, broadcasters such as ABC have a straightforward and cost-effective transition path to digital.”
