How does the satellite segment fit in the migration process as an inherent part of the broadcasting network?
The Solution DualFlow is an innovative technology from Newtec that allows broadcasters to easily migrate to satellite IP-based operations through interfacing with ASI and IP networks. Advantages • DualFlow supports both IP and ASI interfaces which allows the transition to IP connectivity any time • DualFlow allows broadcasters to transport simultaneous live broadcasting and data over the satellite link in the same carrier • DualFlow enables two-way connectivity over satellite introducing new interactive services to boost productivity Setting The Scene Broadcasters are squeezed between increasing costs and reducing revenues. New TV stations are popping up all around the globe raising the competition for advertising and funding budgets. In order to reach a bigger audience and get better advertising revenue, broadcasters need to differentiate. Offering extra services over multiple platforms (internet, VOD, IPTV, DTT) is an alternative approach, but brings along an important cost factor. T
