CONTINENTAL INTRODUCES NEXT GENERATION

802EX DIGITAL EXCITER AT NAB 2008

DALLAS – (April 13, 2008) – Continental Electronics, the company that proved high-power, low-level combined, FM/HD tube transmitters are viable and cost-effective, will introduce its new 802EX FM Digital Exciter at this year’s NAB show in Las Vegas. This new, Next Generation, exciter is the industry’s first ever “One Box” HD solution incorporating Embedded Exporter and Exciter technology into a single, user friendly, product. The 802EX is based on “future focused” digital technology that advances performance beyond other FM digital exciters, makes HD Radio® much simpler to install and configure, and enhances the FM/HD experience through the innovative application of soft updates and firmware plug-ins allowing for a fully integrated analog and HD solution, all in a single box.

Standard in all 802EX exciters are: Continental’s unique, proprietary, fully-adaptive, real-time, forward precorrection, allowing changes in transmitter or RF system performance to be automatically sensed and corrected; software selectable HD power levels of -20dB, -10dB or any power level in between; Hi-Res color LCD screen for maximum clarity and accuracy; built-in stereo generator; built-in audio delay (up to 16.4 seconds); synchronization, using GPS 10MHz signal; multiple AES3 digital audio inputs; AES3 audio output; standard composite input and two baseband SCA inputs.

Continental is also offering a firmware plug-in Embedded Exporter option to reduce cost and HD system complexity, furthering Continental’s commitment to make HD Radio® more affordable for medium and small market broadcasters. Other CEC Plug-Ins planned for future release focus on additional ways to advance and enhance broadcaster’s FM & HD Radio® experience.
