Abstract :
PC technology helps keep the eye on the ball when it comes to outside broadcasting. Technology based on the PC acts as the core of the outside broadcast van for high-definition television (HDTV). A compact industrial PC calculates the video signals´ path through the complex controller system in next to no time, and thereby assures that the right camera image is always shown on the right monitor. The innovation cycles in PC technology are accelerating and new processors and operating systems have to be integrated into the systems in increasingly shorter intervals
