August 5, 2005 - Redmond, Washington, USA – As China ramps up to hold the country’s Tenth National Games to be held in October, 2005, Avitech ramps up planning schedules for the installation of 16 of their MCC-4dE multi-image display processors into the IBC (International Broadcast Center) facility.

The Tenth National Games (to be held in the Jiangsu province, east of China, and held every four years) will feature 32 sports and over 350 sports disciplines and is often referred to as the mini-Olympics – especially this year due to the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The success of the signal monitoring of this event lies on the infrastructure and architecture of Avitech’s multi-image display processing systems. The IBC will be using 16 ea. MCC-4dE display processors – digital video multi-image display processing modules. These modules also include 32 embedded audio functionality (8 per image), which is displayed as part of the overall on-screen display.

Avitech is currently installing the system (through system integrator Sanitec) in preparation for the major athletic event. The Avitech system will be closely monitoring the sources switched by a Grass Valley Concerto routing switcher (controlled by an Encore control system). Snell & Wilcox interface equipment glues the operation together with various pieces of signal distribution and conversion modules. All signals are being distributed to be viewed on 3 ea. 50” Panasonic Plasma Monitors.

“As the selected system integrator, we are committed to making sure our customer has the right tools to ensure highly efficient, high quality programming, and with the Avitech solutions, we can be assured that their monitoring requirements are met,” comments Mr. Liu Fei, Deputy Director of Sanitec, Beijing. “We have installed multiple Avitech systems throughout the region, and have always been completely satisfied with mutli-image processing tools that that Avitech supplies.”

“Avitech is very proud to have been chosen by the 10th National Games Committee to provide the video and audio signal monitoring functionality,” states Morris Gong, President of Avitech International Corporation. “This significant contract shows the trust given by China to Avitech’s products and services due to the flexibility and innovative architecture our systems provide.”
