1.
What is a satellite broadcast?
a)
A satellite broadcast is the distribution of video content
over a satellite network. The audio and video signals
are acquired at the origination point and transmitted
through an  uplink
truck to a geo-synchronous satellite. The orbiting satellite
re-transmits the signal to a predetermined geographical
area over an "open" or secure channel. Small,
inexpensive "downlinks" receive the signal and
display the content on television monitors.
b)
Typical components of a satellite broadcast include a
production crew (line-producer, director, technical director,
camera operators, audio, engineering, and uplink engineer);
the production equipment
(lights, switchers, cameras, microphones, uplink truck);
a team of technicians at the source end and a downlink,
tuner and television monitor at each destination location.
2.
 Why
and when would I use satellite broadcasting?
a)
When most people watch a broadcast on a television set,
there is an expectation that the quality will be as good
as the quality of their local television reception. With
that in mind, satellite broadcasting provides the quality
of signal that equals the quality seen on broadcast television.
b)
When it is very important that a large, geographically
dispersed group of individuals hear and see the same message
at the same time transmitted at a high quality level.
3.
What type of events can be broadcast?
a)
Nearly any type of meeting or event can be broadcast if
there is adequate room for cameras, microphones and proper
lighting.
b)
Many organizations use satellite broadcasts to make enterprise-wide
announcements, to launch products or to publicize significant
events.
4.
Do I need a special license to broadcast my meeting
via satellite?
No.
The vendors providing the broadcasting
services secure all licenses required for the communications
systems used.
5.
Can
I link a satellite broadcast to other communications systems?
a)
Yes, TKO commonly links satellite broadcasts to video
conferencing and streaming systems.
b)
Some companies use their video conferencing system's cameras
and microphones as a means to acquire a signal for broadcast
over a satellite network.
6.
Do I need a studio to use satellite broadcasts?
No,
a studio is not required. However for the best quality,
a studio setting is preferable. This is accomplished by
converting the venue into a "studio setting" by
adding broadcast lights, stage elements, production equipment,
and crew.
7.
How can I have a satellite broadcast if I do not
have space or room for cameras and crew?
If
you do not have the space to hold a production crew and
equipment, we can locate space for you.
8.
Can
one vendor handle all aspects of my satellite broadcast?
Yes,
one vendor can often provide everything from venue selection
to the camera crew, satellite hookup and even catering.
Through TKO's service offerings, you can even get downlink
management and maintenance.
