Cost-effective distribution of high-quality content is a critical challenge for broadcasters, content providers, and satellite operators today. As high-definition video is being deployed at a frantic pace, the need for advanced compression and modulation techniques have become more than a necessity.
The Scopus Video Networks DSNG solution is based on the UE-9000 universal MPEG encoding and the IRD-2900 professional integrated receiving/decoding platforms. The solution fully supports H.264 HD/SD as well as DVB-S2 technologies, making it a viable choice for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint satellite contribution and satellite news gathering (SNG) from transportable uplink stations.
At Satellite 2008, Booth 354, Scopus will demo DVB-S versus DVB-S2, a side-by-side comparison of DVB-S and DVB-S2 transmissions which will show how, with the same link parameters, DVB-S2 provides up to 30 percent bandwidth savings. Also being demo’d will be the Scopus DVB-S2 Variable Coding and Modulation which allows operators to sync on-the-fly modulation and coding changes to maintain continuity of service in erratic transmission conditions. For migration to advanced codecs, the Scopus UE-9000 and IRD-2900 will be on display. Other products for visitor perusal include the Scopus UE-9318 MPEG encoder for DSNG applications with an integrated L-band modulator for DSNG and the IRD-2900 DVB-S / DVB-S2 pro integrated receiver/decoder—Princeton, New Jersey
