South Africa – Israel
ADI video technologies and its South African partner African Union Communications (Aucom) started the installation of ADI's MX1 Integrated Receiver Decoder Systems at Sentech, the Signal Distributor of South Africa, for the secure distribution via satellite to the remote DTT Transmitter sites.
The MX1 is a professional Integrated Receiver Decoder System, providing high quality MPEG-2 4:2:0MP@ML and 4:2:2P@ML decoding, fully compliant with the DVB and ATSC standards.
The ADI solution was chosen after a long testing period, where the ADI equipment was tested alongside all other well –known vendors.
ADI has shown the best price-performance for this particular project, as Multi Channel Decryption is mandatory for this project, and ADI being the only vendor providing significant MCD power.
“It is a pleasure to work with the professional staff, at both Aucom as well as Sentech”, says Rony Weinfeld, Sales & BD Development Manager of ADI.” Aucom is a valued partner, and we are looking forward to expand our mutual business in this region.”
