VIDEO CONTRIBUTION

Video contribution refers to the process of capturing, transmitting, and delivering high-quality video content from its source location to a central point or a broadcasting center. It is used primarily in broadcasting, live events, and media production industries to gather video content from different locations and consolidate it for distribution to a wider audience. Video contribution often involves the use of dedicated fiber-optic links, satellite links, or internet-based transmission methods to ensure reliable and high-bandwidth delivery. The content gathered through video contribution is typically used for live broadcasting, news coverage, sports events, and other media production purposes, where quality and real-time delivery are essential.

DVB/C/C2

DVB-C/C2 stands for “Digital Video Broadcasting – Cable and Cable 2.” It is a set of digital television standards used for the transmission of television signals over cable networks. DVB-C/C2 employs modulation techniques to deliver compressed audio and video data, allowing cable operators to offer a wide range of digital TV channels to subscribers. The C2 version is an evolution of the original DVB-C standard, providing more efficient compression and improved error correction, enabling higher data transmission rates and better video quality. DVB-C/C2 enables interactive services, electronic program guides, and high-definition broadcasting, making it a significant advancement in cable television technology.

DVB/T/T2

DVB-T/T2 stands for “Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial and Terrestrial 2.” It is a set of digital television standards used for the transmission of television signals over terrestrial (over-the-air) broadcast networks. DVB-T/T2 employs modulation techniques to deliver compressed audio and video data, allowing viewers with compatible receivers to access digital TV channels through standard television antennas. The T2 version is an improvement over the original DVB-T standard, offering more efficient compression, better error correction, and higher data transmission rates, enabling higher-quality video, including high-definition broadcasting. DVB-T/T2 has been widely adopted globally, facilitating the transition from analog to digital terrestrial television broadcasting.

Satellite Teleport

SATELLITE TELEPORT

A Satellite Teleport is a facility that communicates with geostationary satellites to transmit and receive communication signals. It acts as a gateway between ground-based communication networks and satellites. Teleports are equipped with large parabolic antennas to establish a two-way communication link with the satellites in orbit. They handle various types of data, including television broadcasting, internet connectivity, voice communications, and corporate data exchange. Teleports are crucial for enabling satellite-based services worldwide and play a vital role in global communications infrastructure.

Meratech operate multiple downlink sites and it can offer managed service such as the reception and streaming to customer sites of  out of reach TV channels.

MICROWAVE LINK,FIXED

Microwave Link refers to a communication system that uses microwave radio signals to transmit data, voice, or video over a line-of-sight path between two fixed locations. It is commonly employed for point-to-point communication, such as connecting two buildings, remote sites, or providing backhaul for cellular networks.
We differentiate between the fixed microwave link established between two predetermined locations (commonly used for providing high-capacity data connections, voice services, and video transmission in scenarios where laying physical cables is impractical or expensive) and mobile microwave link, which is a communication link established between a moving vehicle or platform and a fixed point (frequently used in mobile broadcasting, news gathering, and public safety applications, where real-time data and video transmission from a moving vehicle are necessary).

Meratech is available to design, supply, deliver and put in service fixed and mobile microwave links used for video transport
