IMT Turns Up Heat On Digital Microwave Links
I

MT brought its state-of-the-art
Nucomm and RF Central digital
microwave video systems to
BroadcastAsia2014.
IMT Regional Sales Manager, Asia,
KS Tan, said: "IMT's state-of-theart digital microwave systems help
broadcasters improve and streamline
workﬂow, as its range of products can
provide a comprehensive solution
for both portable and fixed-link
applications."
At BroadcastAsia 2014, IMT
demonstrated its Nucomm CamPac2
Plus HD/SD COFDM Microwave
Transmitter. Intended for wireless
camera applications, such as sports
coverage and ENG, the CamPac2
Plus offers efficient encoding/
decoding, superb HD and low
power consumption. It is available

in licensed bands, along with other
bands upon request. Its stylish and
rugged machined housing provides
durability and exceptional thermal
characteristics for operation in the
harshest of conditions.
The CamPac2 Plus offers the
same quality transmission as its
predecessor, in half the amount
of bandwidth, utilising MPEG-2. It
also allows more video paths in the
same amount of bandwidth, which
is attractive to stations in markets
with high amounts of RF congestion.

SiliconCore Technology Launches LED Solutions
S

iliconCore Technology is
launching its new modular
Sunﬂower P3.0mm LED Display,
which can be used to build unusual
and intricate LED patterns, and
is unveiling its ﬁrst touch screen
interactive LED display.
As with all SiliconCore products, the
Sunﬂower utilises the revolutionary
Common Cathode technology
which signiﬁcantly reduces power

consumption, therefore reducing the
heat dissipation, resulting in market
leading total cost of ownership.
Eric Li, CEO of SiliconCore explains:
"SiliconCore has revolutionised the
LED display industry by developing a
new way to drive the LEDs using the
Common Cathode mode, replacing
the traditional Common Anode
method. We are looking forward to
demonstrating the capabilities of our

SiliconCore Technology's Sunﬂower LED Display will use the same Common
Cathode technology as the Magnolia display

innovative product range."
These beneﬁts are now available for
integrators with projects that require
unconventional display shapes for
creative installations, whether in retail
or corporate spaces.
The Sunﬂower will be available in
192mm x 96mm (7.6" x 3.8") panels
that join seamlessly together on a
metal frame through a magnetic
system, enabling simple installation
and integration.
The incredible Magnolia 1.5mm
LED display that launched in
February 2014 and will be shown
for the ﬁrst time at InfoComm, will
be used to create an interactive
LED touchscreen. Featuring an 11
point touch capability, the product
will showcase how the superior
viewing angles and cool running of
the SiliconCore LED displays make
it the perfect platform for large scale
interactive displays.
This is the next generation in
cutting edge LED display technology,

featuring the smallest pixel pitch
on the market in HD format. The
innovative design of the Common
Cathode LED driver circuits has
revolutionised the direct view LED
display market and has enabled such
close proximity applications.
The SiliconCore booth will also
feature an Orchid P1.9mm display
in a 165" screen size, featuring
revolutionary passive 3D technology
on an LED display. Audiences will
be able to don glasses for the 3D
experience, which will deliver the
brightness of LED but without the
flickering associated with other
display technologies, therefore
reducing eye strain for a more
comfortable viewing experience.
For applications that will be viewed
from further a-ﬁeld, a portrait format
Orchid P1.95 and Peony P2.6mm
walls will be featured, ideal to
accurately display the vibrancy and
excitement of the catwalk in retail
applications.
