Sencore is an electronics manufacturing company based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States. It designs and manufactures digital video and audio delivery, transport and monitoring equipment for professional broadcast. Many of their products deal with television production and transmission, such as the old analog NTSC format, and the new digital ATSC format. Sencore has been acquired by WellAV, a company in the same field located in Huizhou, Canton, China in 2015, but Sencore's brand has been protected outside China and original Sencore products are expected to sell in Chinese market in the brand of WellAV.
Products
One of Sencore's best selling products is the MRD3187, a modular receiver decoder which is used by most content delivery networks in North America including PBS. PBS uses a modified version of the MRD3187 for the WARN System.
One of the many things Sencore's products are used for is testing consumer electronics for quality. Both PC Magazine[3] and PC World[4] use Sencore equipment to help them test and review new LCD televisions.
