TelstraClear Facilities

Since 2000 Gencom has provided TelstraClear with all of their head-ends for cable (analog and digital) and satellite. This is still an ongoing expansion project and continues today.

Wellington Cable Head-end

In 2000 Gencom was engaged to provide and build an MPEG II head-end to serve TelstraClears’ analog and digital cable television strategy. Gencom installed the equipment adjacent to existing cable plant and the upgrade included a 128 x 128 video and stereo audio router as well as three Harmonic 8+1 MPEG II encoding streams and associated transmission and interfacing equipment.

In addition to serving future Wellington requirements, the system also feeds the Christchurch regional head-end.

Christchurch Cable Head-end

Simultaneously with the installation of the Wellington super head-end, Gencom installed a digital decoding system along with both a digital QAM head-end and a 64 channel analog head-end.

In addition a 6 channel MPEG encoding stream was implemented to accommodate local channels. As with Wellington this project was run on a very tight time frame with no difficulties arising.

Head-end Transmission Facility

Following the implementation of the Wellington and Christchurch head-ends and infrastructure, Gencom was commissioned in early 2001, to build a channel preparation area for Telstra Clear.

This involved building an edit suite, voice over booth, two encoding workstation areas, a viewing area and a master control/presentation room, including disc and robotic type play-out.

This project was completed in mid 2001 within the time frame.

Digital Satellite Uplink

Gencom was contracted to supply and install a three stream head-end and associated transmission equipment to serve a satellite uplink in this project. Tandberg equipment was specified in this project.
