Harris Corporation announced that Chinas Chengdu TV, a local broadcaster in Sichuan, China, has installed an array of Harris digital infrastructure products for the expansion and digital upgrade of its television broadcasting facility.
We evaluated other products on the market, but because Chengdu has used Harris Corporations Leitch products for many years and we are familiar with the high quality of the equipment and post-sale support, we decided to stay with Harris when the time came to upgrade, said Xue Yiingjun, director of chief engineering office, Chengdu TV. The Harris system met with our requirements for a reliable, efficient, and integrated system, all of which are crucial factors as we expand to meet the growing demands of our steadily increasing customer base.
The installation includes Integrator® Gold 64X64 and 32X32 wideband, digital, multi-rate routers; the NEO SuiteView Solo, a compact, high-resolution, multi-source display processor; the IconLogo modular branding solution; 6800+ modular interface products; and the X75SD multiple-path converter/synchronizer. The installation was recently completed by systems integrator New Digital Technology, Ltd.
Television stations are increasingly looking to invest in complete, integrated solutions from single manufacturers, and we are pleased that one of our long-standing customers has decided to stay with us as they make the move to digital, said Tim Thorsteinson, president-elect of Harris Broadcast Communications Division. With the breadth and interoperability of our digital infrastructure product offering, we are fully prepared to provide our customers with a customized solution to meet their individual needs.
