Exhibit Booth No. C4026 ADC (Nasdaq:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform )(www.adc.com) today announced it will feature new innovations in broadcast connectivity equipment at this year's NAB 2003 conference in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. , Nevada, April 7 to 10. ADC's booth (No. C4026), located in Hall C of the Las Vegas Convention Center The Las Vegas Convention Center is owned and operated by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and is located in Clark County, Nevada. It is one of the largest Convention centers in the world. At the end of 2004, the center had 3. , will also include fiber connectivity equipment used in the broadcast industry. "The new products we've announced today further ADC's capabilities to offer a breadth of products and solutions to the broadcast industry," said Jeff Peters, senior product manager, broadcast and entertainment equipment for ADC. "We have product deployed at all the major television networks and broadcast companies in the Americas as well as in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. ADC continues to innovate and assist companies around the world to upgrade facility capabilities, accommodate the demand for high definition and prepare for future demands on facility equipment." At NAB, ADC announced several new broadcast equipment offerings, including: -- ProPatch(TM) Programmable System: ProPatch is a high density Bantam Audio patching system engineered for mobile truck applications. The new patent-pending ProPatch system is designed to fit applications requiring a compact normals-adjustable 2X48 Bantam patch panel A group of sockets used to connect incoming and outgoing lines in communications and electronic systems. Patch panels allow for manually wiring the connections with small cables (patch cords), rather than automatic switching. in a one-rack space solution. Product features include selectable normals and grounds and the ability to convert to a 1.5 rack-unit panel with larger designation strips with the installation of a conversion kit. -- High-Performance F and RCA connectors: The High-Performance F Connector features a BNC-style two-piece center pin and body, which increases reliability and provides higher performing signal levels through the F connector A two-wire (signal and ground) coaxial cable connector used to connect antennas and set-top boxes to TVs, VCRs and DVDs. F connector cables typically carry analog NTSC TV signals, and the plug's socket is easily identified because it is threaded. . The large body threaded, true 75 Ohm connector delivers low return loss, excellent insertion loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. and RF leakage performance and includes a gold-plated crimp crimp a regular wave formation of small dimensions, e.g. the crimp of wool fibers epitomized in the Merino breed and its derivatives. crimp marks marks made by wrinkling the x-ray film while holding it between the fingers. center pin. Connectors are available in many sizes to accommodate most popular coaxial cables. The High-Performance RCA connector includes the same features as the F connector for equipment that requires a precision RCA See RCA connector and video/TV history. type connector. -- IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394 Firewire(TM) Patch Panel: Designed for use in the broadcast industry, this new product is a 24-port one-rack unit high panel. IEEE 1394 connectors are on both sides of the panel with straight-through wiring. This panel is designed to be an interconnection point for non-linear editing suites that use the Firewire protocol. ADC's booth at NAB will also include the complete Broadcast and Entertainment product offering including Global Triax(TM) Camera Connectors, Cat5 and 6 Ethernet patching systems and fiber optic connectivity panels and accessories. Fiber connectivity equipment is rapidly becoming a popular choice for broadcast companies as engineers upgrade networks to accommodate higher bandwidth transport, including wideband HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates . The development of premise distribution networks to support non-linear/post-production editing, and data networks often exceed the limits of traditional copper capabilities. In each of these cases, fiber serves as the transmission medium of choice. ADC's complete line of fiber connectivity products designed for the broadcast marketplace will be displayed at NAB. These products include a wide array of equipment capable of terminating 12 to 144 fibers as well as protecting, managing, and storing fiber cables in a broadcast environment.
