SATELLITE TV TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
Top corporate executives say that the major challenge facing the global satellite TV industry as we enter the new millennium is not technology but rather education. There simply are not enough professionals who really understand the technology to go around.
This 52 minute educational videotape provides an information-intensive briefing which companies, educational institutions, and government agencies can use to bring their members up to speed with the technological advances of the last decade. Presenter Mark Long, founding publisher of the World Satellite Almanac, gets right to the heart of the matter, beginning with basic technical principles and then progressing through each area of concern. Important space segment considerations--such as satellite payloads, frequency bands, power levels, coverage beams and stationkeeping--are described along with corresponding earth segment considerations dealing with satellite antennas, feedhorns, LNBs, analog and digital receivers, encryption and digital video compression, potential problem sources and component integration. When combined with our Satellite Installations videotape, the viewer obtains a complete short course covering the specific concerns of the satellite technician, installer and repairman. What's more, these two tapes provide the background and theory needed before anyone can pick up the tools and go to work!
Presenting the latest information about traditional analog satellite TV system as well as new digital satellite system (DSS) developments, this new videotape is specifically designed to act as a tutorial for today's satellite TV professional.
