Who is buying harris bcd

SCRI has done prior polls on the name change. Read all about it here. Gates of course is the original name of the company back in the early days.

The company seemed to lag behind in the past decade in terms of keeping pace with the rapidly evolving technology and end-user vertical markets and in May , current management announced that the company was putting the Broadcast Communications Division up for sale.

Most of these stated that all will be well for Harris Broadcast so long as they maintain their product lines and legacy brands and do not resort to cost cutting, product streamlining and staff layoffs. Of note, though, almost one in five Both new companies will have separate stands at NAB Just how the new branding will impact the market has yet to be determined. Stay tuned…. Just send an email every now and then just to see if it comes back undeliverable.

I had one already. Harris makes some excellent products, particularly solid state transmitters. My guess is that at some point the transmitter division might get spun off by Gores.

Or maybe some people will want the Harris logo while it is still available for 3 years. Has anyone collected RCA or Collins nameplates? Harris design s represent industry benchmark quality of course. Licensed Full Power transmitters, ballpark SLA, replacement parts and tech support should be years. Especially regarding the final output device.

This free service was intended to move parts and encourage brand loyalty, selling future big-ticket transmitters. I see this free support ending and users being offered a support agreement or per incident deal. Such an approach is much more consistent with the remainder of the tech world. Indeed most broadcast automation systems sell support as a separate item.

When I worked for BCD in Quincy back in the mids, we would not have been surprised if it was sold. So it is no surprise that Harris wants to be a pure-play government contractor. As for declining revenue, few TV broadcasters are buying transmitters due to the uncertainty caused by the National Broadband Plan and the Spectrum Auction. When that situation settles, there will be a substantial short-term demand for TV transmitters. Whether BCD has competitive product then remains to be seen.

Dwight Lebowski, Broadcast Engineer at Fox Networks Group: For those of us who started with two inch tape , film and equipment with a bnc connectors on it that worked out of the box. A lot has changed when you can buy a HD device for one thousand dollars that records HD I I believe the days of the big hi prices equipment manufactures are over.

Now we take equipment out of the box and try to make it work and maybe it will do what it is supposed to do if we are lucky. Nothing like loading the firmware to make a DA work. Harris is building the best products ever. The Hoover Treatment Center provides out-patient services and residential treatment for up to 58 people with substance abuse problems.

Participants become eligible for state grants to assist with home buying costs. Instructors are volunteers from four area banks who also review the curriculum as needed. Today, BCD is expanding its reach and vision to include even more important challenges facing the City.

Its latest expansion, the Empowerment Center, houses a state-licensed treatment program, permanent housing for people with special needs as well as provides a beautifully revitalized facility for career training, life skills training, technology training, and a focus on environmental issues right in the heart of the same neighborhood where the BCD was created.
