SIS LIVE aims to wow SATCOM, VSAT customers at IBC2012 exhibition


SIS LIVE will be unveiling its latest satellite and broadcast products -such as the DriveForce vehicle mounted antenna, the PlexSIS fibre system, and the ManPak compact VSAT terminal- at IBC 2012 this September.

A DriveForce antenna will be installed on a Mercedes Sprinter stationed in SIS Live's outside exhibition area. The dish will transmit 20-minute IBC TV News daily broadcasts to Europe and North America during the course of IBC2012.

DriveForce is a vehicle mounted antenna system designed in the light of increasing demand for high bandwidth HD transmissions. Many existing systems simply install a larger reflector on mounts developed for small aperture antennas. This slapshod construction compromises the antenna's design and wind load performance.

In comparison, DriveForce's ultra-high performance carbon fibre antenna is installed upon a dedicated mount. It is fully automated, can operate in wind speeds of up to 60mph, and uses SIS LIVE's differential antenna control technology to find and track any satellite in just moments.

The outside exhibition area will also show off SIS LIVE's other products. Among the items to watch out for are the PlexSIS fiber  optic transport system, which can transport up to 16 SDI signals over a single optical fibre; the ManPak portable VSAT, which weighs all of 12kg and has no removable parts; the uPak 60 automated lightweight VSAT unit; the Tr-uPod tripod satellite uplink system; and the RouteCase 4 channel HD/SDI production unit.

SIS LIVE will also be demonstrating the capabilities NewTek’s MINI LiveMan vehicle. A compact mobile production unit with a uPod satellite uplink system, the MINI LiveMan is the first HD Live Production vehicle ever integrated in a compact SUV. The NewTek vehicle's uPod uplink works through SIS LIVE’s dedicated iDirect multi-satellite hub to instantly access to satellites high bandwidth streaming capabilities.
