TV broadcast

From an idea to your own broadcast faster than you expect

There are two approaches. In the fully managed option, the client supplies the content and SAT Plus handles the entire broadcast operation. In the second, you retain full control: we supply the complete technology, documentation and software for your own broadcast facility.

Option 1

Broadcast as a service

The client supplies the content and SAT Plus provides complete clearance, supervision and distribution as a managed service.

Quick start-up and predictable costs without building your own MCR, servers, storage and distribution infrastructure
  • central storage in the SAT Plus data center for ingesting and archiving content
  • delivering files via SFTP or other agreed secure transfer
  • remote scheduling and management of playlists via the Broadcast Selector in the web interface
  • remote MCR in the browser for controlling playout, matrices and operating parts of the infrastructure from anywhere
  • playout, backup, monitoring and operational supervision 24/7
  • distribution to DVB-S / DVB-S2, DVB-C, DVB-T / DVB-T2 and other output platforms
Who is the model suitable for?

For clients who want to launch a new TV channel without building their own technical infrastructure and prefer a predictable monthly operating fee.

Option 2

Your own turnkey broadcast system

SAT Plus will design, deliver and commission a complete broadcast chain in the client's infrastructure.

Full control and robust in-house operation a solution for clients who want their own infrastructure, their own workflow and maximum operational independence
  • broadcast servers, playout, master backup and distribution matrix
  • input and output signal chain including redundancy and supervisory points
  • technological documentation, operational design and implementation documents
  • Broadcast Selector for remote scheduling, playlist management and operational workflow
  • remote MCR in the browser for controlling playout, distribution matrices and the entire infrastructure from anywhere
  • optional ongoing remote management, support and servicing
Who is the model suitable for?

For the client who wants their own MCR, their own technology and full control over the internal operation and management of the broadcasting infrastructure.
