Eutelsat to advance quality assurance service of DVB satellite transmissionsSep 14, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Eutelsat Communications, a satellite operator, has announced that it will advance the quality assurance service of DVB satellite transmissions. The effort is supported by the global broadcast community, the satellite industry and through the World Broadcasting Unions-International Satellite Operations Group, the Global VSAT Forum and satellite Interference Reduction Group. Through this new initiative, Carrier Identification will be integrated into transmission parameters for all SNG transmissions and new DVB broadcasts from 30 June 2012. Simple firmware enhancements to existing operational uplink equipment have already been developed by key manufacturers. Carrier Identification will enable Eutelsat to identify transmissions to its satellites and accelerate coordination with earth station operators, the company said. "This first critical step enables us to give an even higher level of assurance of quality to our broadcast customers", said Andrew Wallace, Eutelsat's Chief Commercial Officer. "It is a reflection of how our industry continues to grow and how, through collaboration, new technologies can be leveraged to maintain the high standards of service that the broadcast community expects." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
