Saving Space
Anyone who has ever worked inside an SNG van knows how cramped they can be. Even the most spacious vans are prone to space shrinkage, as new equipment is added.
In response to this problem, Tandberg Television has come up with a space-saving L-band converter. What makes it different is that this encoder is an add-on card designed to fit Tandberg Television's DSNG (digital SNG) transmission units, like the D5740.
"We developed this card to save customers both the expense and extra space required for a standalone L-band converter," says Lisa Hobbs, Tandberg's director of marketing. "By putting it inside the main transmitter case, we can save customers one to two rack units of space. When you're talking about a van environment, every spare inch counts."
These SNG Options Are Worth Considering
There is no reason for any SNG crew to hit the road with a 20 year-old analog rig, given the advances in DSNG technology now available. Similarly, there is no reason for news organizations not to back their crews with the best in service/support, and to serve their affiliates with fast distribution and delivery of hot stories. To paraphrase Fox Mulder of the defunct "X-Files," 'the right SNG stuff is out there.'
