[SatBroadcasting(tm)] Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has announced that Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc., owner and operator of six U.S. television stations, has selected Harris® MPH™ ATSC Mobile DTV systems for its operations in Detroit (WDIV-DT) and Orlando, Fla., (WKMG-DT).
WDIV launched first with a single mobile channel, simulcasting its primary over-the-air channel, and WKMG has followed with a similar launch. Post-Newsweek installed both systems within existing Harris transmitters, and plans to roll out Harris MPH systems at its four remaining stations. The Harris MPH system includes the NetVX™ video networking system, Synchrony™ mobile networking adapter and Apex M2X™ exciter, as well as the Roundbox Server for Mobile DTV from Roundbox Inc., which generates service signaling and transmits a rich Electronic Service Guide (ESG). Williams emphasized that the software-driven features of the MPH system are impressive, particularly the software-defined architecture of the Apex M2X exciter for simple field updates.
