SATELLITE
INSTALLATIONS
The
difference between excellent satellite TV reception and poor signal quality often boils
down to one thing: the installation. A correct installation performed by a professional
installer can pull out that last fraction of a decibel in signal strength, making the
difference between problematic TV reception and a perfect TV picture. Few technicians,
however, have gained a thorough knowledge of this subject and related information
resources have heretofore been limited in scope and not up to date with the latest
technology.
This
latest production in the line of successful Satellite Series videotapes from MLE/Shelburne
Films is a one-hour graphic intensive videotape written and presented by Mark Long, author
of The World of Satellite TV and founding publisher of The World Satelite Almanac.
Satellite Installations covers all of the technical details which every satellite
professional needs to know, including all-new information on digital satellite TV systems.
An installer's
tutorial on portable spectrum analysers is included in this latest one-hour VHS videotape
from MLE/Shelburne Films
Satellite
Installations covers the basics, such as site surveys, cable connections, antenna
alignment procedures, and component selection, as well as more esoteric topics such as
system noise performance, link budgets, dual-band systems, and digital IRDs, as well as
how satellite installers can gain maximum benefit from the use of a spectrum analyser.
More than one hundred and twenty full-color charts and graphics are included in this 60
minute VHS videotape, available in PAL or NTSC. Perfect for corporate training and the
vocational classroom, this high-quality production VHS videotape is available from MLE
INC. for US$ 149 (PAL) or US$ 125 (NTSC) plus US$ 17.50 for shipping.
