OT: Broadcast looping of HD content

richard-courtney wrote on 9/26/2006, 7:33 AM

I may be joining the "Elite" and getting HD sooner than planned.
The company I work for has signed a major customer for HD content
and now I need to plan on broadcasting looping video content.

With SD we use Denon DN-V755 network players and connect to the private
cable network through a modulator. With HD this uses different hardware.

What should I look for? (other than the camera)
Content now is stored on a laptop and we connect to the player with a LAN
cable to download the MPEG file.

Thanks for your help.

Player must be compatable with Blonder Tongue AQM modulator.
MPEG-2 ASI signal.

This information is from the engineers that build the tv racks for the customer.
I am still learning.

i haven't use that specific model, but the soloist 2's & duet's are nice machines. Kinda ran two TV stations off those for a while. The support is also pretty good (the company GAVE the sourcecode for the software to a friend of mine so he could update/improve it & even write analyzing software for it).

i didn't even know they made HD players (but i've been out of the loop for a while).
