Lots of news from Harris regarding IBOC at NAB2004.
Harris Corporation has introduced NeuStar 5225, a Mix-Edit Transcoder that will help broadcasters to cost-effectively transition from legacy mono and stereo formats to 5.1 surround sound. The NeuStar 5225 mix edit tool allows broadcasters to create or edit content that originates as 5.1, legacy mono or stereo; blend discrete and upmixed elements; and store the content in 5.1 or 2.0
formats.
Harris said the MIMIC, a proprietary Neural technology that can duplicate a sound signature in seconds, is now standard on its NeuStar HD Radio
Codec Processors.
ReCon Radio, a radio transmitter facilities management system from Harris, provides broadcasters with remote monitoring capabilities at an economical price. ReCon Radio can be seen in booth #C1906.

of the PR&E Radiomixer Analog Console, but with the features of BMXdigital and Legacy consoles. RMXdigital is scheduled to ship in late summer/early fall of 2004.
Harris has developed a line of low-power FM digital radio transmitters. The
Mini-HD FM digital transmitter line features four models that offer from 10 to 600 watts of digital-only power. The new line is on display at booth #C1906.
