This seamless integration of a 3.8m antenna system with an S3 Satsio, was tailored specifically for a leading UK teleport operator. This integration involved the deployment of an updated release of S3 Fiesta M&C software, carefully engineered to support the installation’s requirements. Key components, including an L-Band Matrix sourced from ETL, and RX1 IRDs procured from MediaKind, were seamlessly integrated to ensure optimal performance.
The project is one of the many S3 Satsio antenna and tracking systems successfully installed across numerous sites since the highly successful re-launch of the Satsio / Fiesta range at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in 2022.
As part of dB Broadcast’s commitment to advancing its product line, a variety of systems, including a further S3 Satsio 3.8 metre tracking antenna for TVRO, were strategically installed at our facilities for rigorous testing and developmental purposes. This proactive approach underscores our policy of continuous improvement and innovation.
It’s exhibition season again, and dB will be at several major shows, eager to meet as many visitors as possible.
At The Media Production & Technology Show at Olympia, London, our team will be on hand to discuss latest industry trends and technologies, as well as catch up on current broadcast projects. We’ll also be debuting dB FLEX, a versatile power solution designed to power Starlink data terminals in the field. This was used in our award winning project for ITV Studios teams on location from Australia to Alaska.
See us there at Stand no. E27 on 15-16 May 2024.
