FM Transmission Family
G
atesAir introduces Flexiva GX, a
new FM analog transmitter line
that provides radio customers with
the strongest power-to-size ratio for
power levels up to 10kW. Using the
latest LDMOS technology, GatesAir
has
packed
exceptional
power
density into a compact 5RU chassis,
providing broadcasters with powerful
5kW and 10kW FM solutions that
deliver a remarkable overall efficiency
rating up to 76 percent.
The engineering breakthroughs
in power density, efficiency
and
footprint are made possible through
the Flexiva GX's design, enhanced
by
GatesAir's

" No one has ever put 10kW with an
integrated exciter into a 5RU system,
and the Flexiva GX Series makes
this reality, " said Ted Lantz, Vice

modular, redundant
transmitter
designs with hot-swappable power
supplies. The transmitters provide

company
also demonstrate
practical implementations of 4k Ultra
HD and live event broadcast solutions
built on NDI connectivity. At this
year's IBC, FOR-A will also highlight
the latest product innovations across
its switcher, router, server and replay
solutions portfolio, as well as its
Integrated Live Production System.
Lying at the heart of FOR-A's latest
REMI offering is the new architecture
of " Software-Defined IP Solutions, "
integrated with software-based
technology from AMMUX. The latter
IP
builds IP solutions for the broadcast
and cable industry for live production,
post-production, and IP test and
measurement products based on the
SMPTE 2110 standard, with SDI, ASI,
RF and NDI connectivity. With low

the AMMUX operating system is
optimized specifically
for broadcast
applications. Built-in Web Real-time
Communication (WebRTC) eliminates
the need for a specific player or
gateway; this ensures users gain free
access to files from anywhere via a
web browser.
Visitors to the show will be able to
see FOR-A's new FA-1616 multichannel
processor with software-defined
architecture being demonstrated on
the stand. This solution supports the
latest requirements for 12G 4k and the
hybrid SDI/IP environment in action.
Having SMPTE ST-2110 and ST-2022
I/F, FA-1616 would be an optimal
