Rohde & Schwarz, a global broadcast distribution provider, is once again exhibiting at CABSAT (booth S1-I20, Dubai World Trade Centre, 16-18 May 2023). The company will take the opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to meeting industry expectations for advanced functionality, high availability, reliability and support. It will also show how its products and solutions are designed with performance, resilience and sustainability in mind.
Emphasizing that terrestrial broadcasting still has a vital role to play in broadcasting, Rohde & Schwarz will discuss the new software-defined TH1 transmitter. This provides agile support across a range of formats – including rapidly emerging 5G broadcasting, whilst delivering a reduction in power consumption of over 40%, transforming the sustainability of terrestrial television.
Every morning at 11am there will be a special presentation on TH1. This will focus on the core values of the transmitter platform, which was designed with efficiency in mind. The presentation will describe how the TH1 delivers increased performance, new flexibility across all frequencies and lower power consumption to improve consumer satisfaction, reduce energy consumption and increase sustainability.
Adopting the theme “the future of broadcasting” for its presence at CABSAT, Rohde & Schwarz will show how highly functional and efficient systems are built using IT industry standard core hardware and software, upon which specialized media applications are built. Typical of this approach is the new R&S SpycerNode2, a radical re-architecture of the popular storage device, which builds on the IBM Spectrum Scale and High Performance Computing platform to create a video server with enormous capacity and high bandwidth to support a large number of simultaneous data. users and zero downtime for unparalleled reliability.
The booth will also focus on new features of R&S Clipster 6 Mark 2, the industry standard for product creation that now features a 100% increase in speed, and R&S Venice, ingestion-to-playback content storage, which also has powerful new features, including simplifying the ingestion of endangered VT libraries. Rich multi-channel automated playout infrastructures can be created, on-premises or in the cloud, using Pixel Power Gallium automation management and StreamMaster video processing.
“The Middle East and North Africa market has always demonstrated a strong determination to employ the most creative, efficient and dynamic technologies to support its media creativity,” said James Gilbert, director of Product and Solutions Management at Rohde & Schwarz. “We see CABSAT as the ideal opportunity to speak to all the leaders in the region, to share our ideas about developing a sustainable future for broadcasting and to understand the key issues affecting them, so that together, as partners, we can face the challenges going forward.”
