TECHNOLOGY
Satellite TV Station Management
• The overall objective of the project is to establish a new efficient, reliable and economic Satellite TV
Broadcast Station having the capability to deliver 24x7 worldwide Live broadcast with Digital content to
unlimited viewers simultaneously.
• The solution will be designed with world class broadcast technology as one time cost to the Stockholder
with provision for including additional TV channels in future with a cost effective manner.
• Global Standard Technology will be implemented with automatic backup and by-pass work-flow to
overcome signal and power failure at production, transmission, reception, distribution and monitoring.
• The Ultimate Aim of the project is to establish cost-effective world-class broadcast set-up and maintain the
standard procedure to meet the requirement of viewers and commercial advertisers.
Objectives
The Need
• To fulfil customer’s demand and challenging to the competitors in the market, the quality of production
and transmission should be improved with a user-friendly Digital broadcast setup.
• To Achieve highest TRP and fulfil Commercial needs with more advertisers, Broadcast standard should
be improved by using Stable & Efficient Equipment.
• To Ensure 24X7 Live Production and Transmission without Failure, the equipment should be integrated
and managed properly.
• For guaranteed Stability, Reliability, and Error-Free broadcast, the equipment should be selected
properly and designed with backup and by-pass platform.
