Arkansas PBS, Matt Monin Chief AETN
For our statewide Arkansas PBS network we recently found ourselves with the opportunity add 5 low power signals to our 6 full power signals which will upgrade our coverage from 76% of the population being able to receive an acceptable over the air signal to 99% being able to receive it. But being the new signals will be in far flung areas of the state, the only negative issue that arises is having the ability for confidence monitoring of our signals from our studio. While difficulty in monitoring in this instance is a good problem to have given that we had the resources via a grant to put the signals on the air, it was still a problem that needed to be addressed in a budget friendly manner. My thought was to employ an ATSC tuner to IP transport stream via our bi-directional IP microwave system back to our studios. Our agency has done a good deal of business with Toner Cable over the years for equipment used on our in-building cable system so I contacted Jon Kipp their Broadcast sales guy,looking for suggestions. Jon brought the WellAV UMH160 to my attention as a suitable device for our needs. This unit will output a simultaneous HDMI signal for on site monitoring as well as an IP output for distant monitoring. We decided to use one of our SD only subchannels to limit the bandwidth use on our microwave backhaul.

TECHNICAL ADVICE, SYSTEMS AND SUPPORT
NASA | Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Here at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, communication is vital to the safety and success of everyday activities as well as every mission. One major way KSC distributes information is through our Broadband Communication Distribution System (BCDS). Recently KSC has begun to transition to more of an IP-based infrastructure whereas the majority of our sources are being ingested into our headend for modulation via GigE IP. Toner Cable is an outstanding partner when technical advice is needed for hardware recommendations, troubleshooting and equipment procurement.

THOR DIGITAL HD ENCODER MODULATOR
Sportech Venues Inc |
The THOR HDME 201 Dual MPEG h.264 encoder is now my preferred broadcast headend encoding appliance. Being THOR Digital was an unfamiliar brand, I was skeptical in looking at new equipment providers. I found the THOR HDME 201, a more than acceptable replacement to its mainstream counterparts. It’s ease of setup and multiple connectivity options made the decision to use the THOR HDME 201 very easy. The price point made it an easy winner as well. I compared three of my favorite manufacturers in a side by side by side test in my lab. The THOR HDME 201 out of the box has all the options and configurations for encoding my video, computer presentations and digital signage applications. I highly recommend the product and will continue to use these appliances in my future system rollouts.
