Harris Corporation to Support ATSC Mobile DTV Broadcast Demonstrations at International Consumer Electronics ShowLAS VEGAS, January 7, 2010 (Consumer Electronics Show) - Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, will support several live ATSC Mobile DTV demonstrations designed to exhibit the viability of digital mobile broadcasting to consumers and receiver manufacturers at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) January 7-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center."Our objectives at CES are to support the broadcast industry through real-world, over-the-air ATSC Mobile DTV demonstrations and further the progress of receiver availability for consumers," said Jay Adrick, vice president of broadcast technology, Harris Broadcast Communications. "The official adoption of the ATSC Mobile DTV Standard means that consumers can begin receiving live television and multimedia broadcasts on a variety of wireless receiving devices as broadcasts and receivers become available." At the show, Harris will support over-the-air broadcasts for Las Vegas-market digital TV stations KLAS-DT, a CBS affiliate owned by Landmark Communications, and KVMY-DT, a MyNetworkTV affiliate owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group. Harris will integrate its MPH™ ATSC Mobile DTV platform with each broadcaster's main transmitter to deliver the ATSC Mobile DTV streams. Demonstrations can be seen at the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC) Pavilion and at the stands of various receiver manufacturers. "We are excited to be working with Harris and the OMVC to demonstrate ATSC Mobile DTV," said Emily Neilson, general manager for KLAS-DT. "The importance of ATSC Mobile DTV to our local communities cannot be overstated. Local broadcasters offer excellent programming, news and information, providing a critical link to the public during natural disasters and other emergencies. ATSC Mobile DTV will simply make these free, over-the-air services more accessible to those in our communities." Harris will also transmit eight ATSC Mobile DTV program streams of local and national content on local Channel 56. The DiSH Network, which owns Channel 56 in the Las Vegas market, has volunteered its frequency for the demonstration. Harris will provide one of its Maxiva™ UAX air-cooled UHF transmitters and its MPH platform to establish a complete, over-the-air transmission system.
