Satcom selects Scopus' E-1720 DSNG
encoder
ISRAEL -- Satcom GmbH, one of the leading providers
of DSNG services in Europe, recently selected Scopus
Network Technologies' CODICO E-1720 DSNG encoder for
its easyLINK service launched in November 2004 throughout
Europe, for the rapidly expanding mobile digital satellite
transmission market.
Satcom conducted extensive field-tests throughout Germany
and Austria with German TV channel II (ZDF), Hessischer
Rundfunk (HR) and SAT.1/Pro7, whereby the E-1720, was
remotely controlled, including set-up and line-up. With
the E-1720, Satcom is offering small, fully remote-control
satellite systems for mounting on the roofs of cars
and small vans. Equipped with its own remote-control
transmitting and receiving technology, every ENG team
is now able to send its programs from almost anywhere
in Europe. The cost affordable system is made possible
by the use of state-of-the-art telemetry which does
not require an SNG operator on location.
The
E-1720 comes embedded with L-band output as well as
L-band monitoring to provide various satellite modulation
schemes, includes ultra-low latency mode, variable GOP,
BISS-CA, DVB scrambling as well as built-in multiplexing
capabilities, all, in a rugged, user-friendly unit to
ensure the highest picture quality with steady low-power
consumption.
Alex Lior, director, Scopus Germany said: "The
E-1720 is a tremendous platform for the future of the
DSNG market and we are proud to have it proven by Satcom.
In the wake of this success, we believe that other broadcasters
will express interest in this platform."
Thomas Becke, general manager, Satcom, said: "Scopus'
E-1720 met and exceeded our expectations. The platform
transmitted in all weather, formats and completed every
task we set."
