The news is at once local and global. The world of television and broadcasting continues to evolve at an ever increasing pace and news is delivered to more devices, more often and faster than ever before.  No other company in the world offers the Satellite News Gathering (SNG) community a more complete electronics package. Tiernan has supplied hardware to virtually every SNG truck manufacturer, SNG operator and broadcaster worldwide. Our products are designed for the rough environment and flexible demands of today’s SNG’s. And our products make sure that the news gets there.

Video encoders from our Tiernan product line offer best in class single box solutions for operators. Voted “Pick Hit” by Broadcast Engineering in NAB 2006, the HE4000 offers simultaneous SD and HD encoding with all the interface options an SNG operator needs in this demanding environment. Analog, SDI, HDSDI inputs, multiple ASI outputs and options for G.703, satellite DVB-S and DVB-S2 modulator cards built in mean an operator will never need unnecessary ancillary hardware to get the shot sent home. Couple this with the industry’s only full color monitor built right into the face of the encoder, literally nothing has been left out.

The TITAN MPEG Video Encoder offers a new level of integration and performance, with HD and SD. MPEG-2 and MPEG 4, all with video compression performance improvements that allow you to bring home your video at even lower data rates. The Titan Encoder Series supports all of the latest audio compression formats, including AAC-LC and AAC-HE.

DVB-S and DVB-S2 modulators provided by Tiernan have long been an industry benchmark. Tiernan was the first company to offer commercial DVB-S2 products offering up to 35% savings on bandwidth requirements.  Coupled with the complete line of video receivers and head end equipment, IDC provides unparalled products that ensure consistent, safe and reliable delivery of news and information to any device, anywhere at anytime.
