Business Wire
Wegener Corporation (OTCQB: WGNR.PK), a leading provider of
equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks
worldwide, today announced the receipt of an order valued over
$400,000 for Unity 552 satellite media receivers. The receivers
will be used within a private educational network to decode live
video broadcasts around the world and to increase the number of
sites transitioned to DVB-S2 satellite modulation.
The Unity 552 is a high performance satellite receiver for
private television networks. It supports DVB-S2 satellite
modulation, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/h.264 video in standard and high
definition formats.
DVB-S2 modulation offers video broadcasters a wide range of
choices to manage satellite service provider limitations, lower
operational costs, increase services (when compared with DVB-S) or
manage inclement weather. An operator can reduce distribution
bandwidth needs of a typical transmission by 20 to 30% by switching
from DVB-S to DVB-S2.
An operator can also achieve 40-70% greater signal compression
combining MPEG-4/h.264 video compression and DVB-S2 modulation
(compared to MPEG-2 video compression and DVB-S satellite
modulation).
“WEGENER’s Unity 552 enterprise media receiver, in conjunction
with Compel® network control, offers maximum flexibility for any
organization wishing to migrate to newer, cost-effective, video
broadcast schemes,” stated Troy Woodbury, President and CEO of
WEGENER. “It allows an operator to smoothly transition their
network from existing content to newer formatted content.”
The order was booked and shipped during WEGENER’s fourth quarter
of fiscal 2010.
