Projects



1.    Under contract with the Pacific Missile Test Center, Point Mugu, California, performed an on-site survey to determine the need for extension of the CATV antenna systems.  Completed necessary design specifications and directed the ultimate installation, check-out and testing of a system feeding over 900 homes.  In addition, we handled the re-build of the Oxnard AFB (Camarillo Airport) Capehart housing CATV system, when the Navy took over.  (An additional 350 homes.)

2.    Designed, developed, installed and tested the first 2500 MHz ITFS Instructional Television System west of Detroit, Michigan.  This was only the fourth such system developed in the United States.  Later engineered the nation's first studio to transmitter link on this service at a Educational Broadcasters Convention at Disneyland in Anaheim.  Also took over the installation of the Long Beach School system feeding 21 schools.

3.    Designed, Developed and installed CATV compatible/Master antenna/Closed circuit cable systems for the Television Broadcasters at ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS NETWORKS, KCOP 13, KWHY 22, KEYT 3, KABC 7 and KHJ 9 in Los Angeles.  Additional installations included a CATV system for the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Anaheim Convention Center.  A CATV/Broadband system was developed for the stages and lots of the ABC Entertainment Center in Century City, as well as Major Studios at Universal, Paramount, Warner, Embassy, Culver, Lorimar, E! Entertinment and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

4.    Developed and installed a Microwave/Translator system in the State of Nevada, starting with KORK-TV in Las Vegas and extending it to Reno on some eight mountain peaks, then picking up KOLO-TV in Reno and returning it back to Las Vegas, thus providing television along the Nevada/Utah border.  This was the first system of this type in the USA to be approved by the FCC.   

5.    Designed, developed and installed the television, stereo and FM systems for the display rooms of more than 300 K-Mart department stores within the eleven Western States and Texas.  These installations all operate from an antenna or a cable TV system without any modification, even with special local signal pickup problems, and with each system feeding 80 or more display television sets as well as stereo and FM receivers.

6.    Designed, developed and installed CATV systems in many California communities, such as Johnsondale, Ojai, Foster Park, Fillmore, Johannesburg/Randsburg, Camarillo State Hospital, Leisure Village, in Camarillo and Hueneme Bay.  In addition, we presently own  franchise CATV systems at Lake Hughes and Camarillo, California.


7.    Designed, developed and installed large MATV systems for many hospitals, hotels, motels, apartments, condominiums, and mobile home parks.  One of the more significant and demanding installations was the Century Plaza Hotel and Towers in Century City, California.  Also designed commercial data cable/CATV systems for Litton Data Systems, Litton Guidance Systems, Pacific Missile Test Center, USAF Space Command Center, Naval Engineering Labs at Port Hueneme, California and Bunker Ramo.

8.    Engineered, developed and installed translator systems in San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz Island, California and Flagstaff, Arizona, as well as the system for broadcasting the landing of the first space shuttle at Edwards Air Force Base.  

9.    Engineered, developed and installed the first "MDS" Multi-distribution Service Transmitter in Ventura County which operates on 2150 MHz.  This service was being used for the local "Z" channel carrying pay movies.

10.    Installed the Los Angeles County Fire Department Broadband Cable Transmission System for the Telecommunications Service Division of Fluor Daniel, Inc. in Irvine, California, providing cable television channels and a Computer Aid Dispatch system of all fire equipment at each work station.  This system was designed for a totally self-sufficient operation in the event of a cataclysmic emergency.

11.    Engineered, designed and installed the two-way MATV system at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.  This system fed signal to the five different levels within the Rose Bowl including the Locker Rooms and Press Box.  The system also provided a special return feed for press interviews.

12.    Engineered and installed more than 100 additional outlets for a temporary extension in the Rose Bowl to accommodate Super Bowl XXVII on Super Bowl Sunday.  This included additional press boxes, the overflow media tent and Michael Jackson's Suite.

13.    Expanded the CATV system at Universal Studios, Hollywood with the installation of state of the art wiring to include the Ivan Reitman, Berry Kemp and Stephen Spielberg Buildings. In the installation of the Stephen Spielberg Building, we installed a personal satellite dish interfaced with the CATV system, to enable him to monitor the CATV programming as well as his own creations.
Currently expanding Universal Studios CATV System feeding over 2,000 outlets  to 750 Mhz and eight satellite 3.8 meter receive dishes and two 4.5 meter uplinks.

14.    Engineered, developed and installed three receive only Satellite dishes together with necessary electronics at Sony Pictures in Culver City.  These installations were constructed to receive specialized scrambled premium programming for critical review from five different stages by Sony Pictures.  This project provided for future feeds from microwave and fiber optic technology.


15.    The CATV system for the Anaheim Convention Center, home of the Western Cable Show was engineered, installed and is maintained by Capp's Electronics, Inc., who is also the official contractor for the Western Cable Show, providing Satellite Feeds, Custom Local Area Networks, Interactive Networks, and Local Cable System Drops to Exhibitors throughout the Convention Halls.  Similar installations have been designed and installed by this company for the Anaheim (Angel's) Stadium, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Los Angeles Convention Center, the Reno Convention Center, Atlanta Convention Center, New Orleans Convention Center, McCormick Center in Chicago and the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas.

16.    Designed, constructed and maintained oversight of the installation of all NINE of the electronic headends for the World Cup Soccer matches, "WorldCup USA94" nationwide, and engineered, designed and constructed all the cable network for Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
