BROADCAST SERVICES :: CONTRIBUTION AND DISTRIBUTION
We can provide broadcasters and news programmers with contribution
links for original, post-produced and fully contributed segments of
news, sports and entertainment for finished programme integration.
Our contribution services ensure signals reach a particular uplink
station or a multiplexing platform for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
transmissions. This is independant of whether the signal is digital
or analogue; television, radio, data or multimedia; for Direct-to-Home
broadcasting, free-to-air or encoded; for terrestrial rebroadcasting.
Contribution links are available on all of our satellites, with the
exception of the HOT BIRD fleet at 13° East. Based on the
technical parameters required, we will determine the solution for optimal
transmission.
We also offer a very economical service for contribution links exclusively
used for digital TV platforms on Eutelsat satellites and in particular
for Eutelsat Digital Platforms (EDP). By minimising
the overall costs of digital platform services, we can make platform
access attractive to small broadcasters.
