Mobile Transmissions
Hurricanes. Wars. Natural Disasters. Corporate Meetings. All can be handled with this rapidly-deployable flyaway system. A high-power outdoor amplifier with built-in upconverter allows the dish and transmitter to be located several hundred feet away with the encoded and modulated video signals run over standard coaxial cable. DCI's large inventory of encoders allows our flyaways to be equipped with multiple paths, and can be configured to meet your needs.
The heart of DCI's microwave system is the second highest point in Washington DC: the Clocktower of the Old Post Office Pavilion. DCI has remotely-controllable antennas in all 4 quadrants at the top of the tower for 6/7 GHz analog, digital, and 40 GHz ASI microwave links. DCI's fiber has eighteen DS3 paths bringing the signals back to DCI Teleport for further transmission via satellite, local and long haul fiber.
DCI's digital microwave system literally sees around corners. COFDM technology gets the shot in, even without line of sight. A low-power portable system can be run on camera batteries, and a high power fixed system, can get shots through that are impossible with any other system. This transmitter can be set up point-to-point with a portable receiver, or shot into DCI's central receive site, in the Clocktower.
For shots that don't require the capabilities of digital microwave, this medium-power analog system is simple and very reliable. Its operates in the quiet 6/7GHz band, and can be set up as point-to-point or into the Clocktower.
These two-way DS3 radios operate in the 39 GHz band. They carry an ASI payload at up to 45 megabits, which can contain multiple compressed HD and SD paths. This system is typically used for remote HD cameras in field video productions, such as the PBS Capitol Fourth show. It is perfect for long term or large productions. DCI Teleport also uses these units for full-time links to area studios.
The 40 GHz analog is a short-distance, point-to-point system. It's great for shooting video between buildings, or as a relay point for other microwave systems.
