International Datacasting Corporation (TSX:IDC), a global technology provider for the world's premiere broadcasters, is pleased to announce that it has shipped the new TITAN 3 Contribution Encoder for deployment in Latin America. IDC's new partner in Mexico, Grimsat has selected the TITAN 3 Contribution Encoder for low latency encoding of news and sports content.

"We are delighted in our selection of the TITAN 3 Contribution Encoder for use in outside broadcasting applications throughout Latin America," said Miguel Grimaldo, Grimsat's CEO. "Image quality and encoding latency are key factors in outside broadcast applications, and the TITAN 3 Contribution Encoder provides great performance without sacrificing reliability or ease of use," commented Ramon Grimaldo, Sales Director for Grimsat.

The TITAN 3 provides the perfect balance of high video quality, ground-breaking latency performance, and best-in-class usability for demanding outside broadcast applications. IDC designed the TITAN 3 with extremely low latency - or encoding delay - of only 150ms, which enables broadcasters to be first to air with breaking news, and to conduct the most natural live interviews from remote locations. With available 4:2:2 10-bit encoding in High Definition, and support for 150 ms latency to a wide range of decoder platforms, TITAN 3 raises the standard for video contribution.

The TITAN 3 Contribution Encoder design is based on more than a decade of IDC experience serving the outside broadcast industry. TITAN Encoders are built from the ground up for the demanding conditions of outside broadcasting, featuring rugged construction to achieve superior reliability. The TITAN 3 retains the familiar, easy to use front panel which allows quick setup for mission critical operations, and is able to achieve signal on-air from power up in less than 60 seconds.

"Delivering the best possible image quality and low latency performance is critical to live broadcasting," said Doug Lowther, President and CEO of IDC. "IDC is thrilled to support broadcasters who wish to deliver the highest image quality for news and sports to their audiences."
