Broadcast CatalogueBroadcast without Boundaries

Issue 2 – February 2013

Welcome to the Cobham Broadcast catalogue. Cobham draws on the company’s cutting edge technologies to develop mission-critical products for the broadcast market which provide real technical and operational benefits to newsgathering, live production and other high profile applications empowering users to broadcast without boundaries. Backed by more than 50 years’ valuable experience of transmitting and receiving information in difficult electronic environments in the military and surveillance market, Cobham’s Broadcast portfolio benefits from the ultra-high build quality and ruggedness these products require.

Introduction

03

Why choose Cobham?

Cobham’s technical ability and capacity to develop new

products is well ahead of the market. Its total control

over encoding and modulation processes and use of

FPGAs, rather than fixed ASICs, gives it a unique ability

to quickly add new features, improve performance and

address customers’ specific requirements.

Cobham’s HD broadcast systems employ next-generation

low-delay H.264 encoding. The increased encoding

efficiency this gives enables users to transmit at reduced

bit-rates with no loss in quality. This means more robust

modulation schemes can be used, giving increased

range and a reduction in the amount of receive

hardware required.

The systems are also extremely compact and consume

significantly less power – typically 60% less than

equivalent MPEG2 systems. In addition cutting edge

communication techniques, already developed for and

in use in the surveillance sector – such as bi-directional,

single-frequency COFDM systems and MESH networking

– are available as part of the Cobham Broadcast range.

Cobham products are designed to be set up quickly, to

deliver the level of performance professionals require,

and to perform reliably throughout the job. They use

the latest communications technologies to achieve

the quality and performance standards expected while

using the minimum power with the maximum flexibility.
