OMVC Model Stations
The OMVC launched Model Stations for technical research and development (R&D) of device interoperability. These stations enable manufacturers to develop and test products that meet broadcaster, electronics manufacturer and consumer requirements. By staying on-air continuously, with stations on the east and west coasts, they act as an open invitation to equipment manufacturers.
There are four model stations -- two each, in Atlanta, Georgia and Seattle, Washington. Harris Corporation, Rohde & Schwarz, Roundbox, Inc. and Triveni Digital are supplying Mobile DTV transmission equipment and making available their technical expertise to the stations, which represent the nation's eighth and fourteenth largest media markets.
