Nucomm will debut its ProQ DTV IFB receiver designed for use as an IFB solution for ENG users during DTV transmission, for monitoring DTV signals through a DVB-ASI output and streaming video over an IP connection to a laptop or other IP-enabled device.

The new ProQ DTV IFB receiver is 5in by 1.75in by 8.5in and features dual UHF/VHF antennas, two silicon tuners and sixth generation VSB demodulators.

The ProQ contains an MPEG Layer 1/Layer 2 audio decoder that is capable of decoding two independent sound programs, providing up to four audio channels and using bit rates as low as 32kb/s for each. Coupled with low-latency audio encoders and proper design of the DTV packet insertion, total audio latency can be less than 80ms. Its audio signal outputs are outfitted on a 5-pin XLR connector.
