5280 Broadcast selected as Lake Cedar Group Integrator

5280 Broadcast has recently been selected by Denver television stations KCNC, KMGH, KTVD, and KUSA to integrate the new consolidated digital transmission facility on Lookout Mountain.

The new facility, nearly ten years in the making, will house the transmitters, monitoring equipment, STL/TSL, and central receive equipment for the stations, collectively known as the Lake Cedar Group. The new tower and building will replace four existing towers and three transmitter buildings on Lookout, some of which have been part of the skyline since the 1950's.

5280 Broadcast will provide system design, installation services, technical documentation, and much of the equipment relating to the routing and monitoring of video, audio, IF, and transport stream signals. 5280 will also be responsible for the interconnection between the control rooms and the tower base, including monitoring and data signals. Engineering will be a collaborative effort between 5280 Broadcast's technical staff and the engineers from the individual member stations.
