Nucomm’s New Broadcast Receiver

Nucomm is launching a new ProQ DTV IFB Receiver, which features dual UHF/VHF antennas, two advanced silicon tuners and 6th generation VSB demodulators. The ProQ is 5″ x 1.75″ x 8.5″ and contains an MPEG Layer 1/Layer 2 audio decoder that is capable of decoding two independent sound programs, providing up to four audio channels and using bit rates as low as 32 kbps for each. Coupled with a low-latency audio encoder and proper design of the DTV packet insertion, total audio latency can be less than 80 ms. It is designed with its audio signal outputs on a 5-pin XLR connector. Status information, such as RF signal level/quality, DTV signal lock and audio levels, is available through ProQ DTV IFB Receiver’s Web interface and is updated in real time on the front panel LCD display. Available in December 2008. Prices TBD. www.nucomm.com
