Tandberg Television Transmits Discoveries from Black Sea

By Staff Writer | October 9, 2003

      Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and MCI IDB Systems, an EDS sub-contractor, selected Tandberg Television‘s satellite equipment to broadcast footage of Black Sea exploration conducted by renowned undersea explorer Robert Ballard from the USS Knorr. Two feeds generated aboard the Knorr were sent to two Tandberg Television E5710 video encoders, compressed using MPEG-2 technology, and multiplexed into a single stream for transmission using a Tandberg Television MX5620 multiplexer to an MCI earth station in Andover, Maine, and then to U.S. students, scientists and the public.
