3kgs. Advanced new features include the ability to bond the signals from multiple terminals via Ethernet and achieve IP streaming rate of 1Mbps or even higher. “You can use two, for example, to provide a full frame HD image,” said the company’s Dave Provencher, general manager, Orlando land. “That’s never been possible before.” Over on the Vislink stand,
the Advent Motorised MSAT satellite data terminal was on public view for the first time. Earlier this year, the company launched the broadcast specification Mantis MSAT one-man portable satellite terminal. “In response to growing demand from broadcasters for a larger automated version, the Motorised MSAT with its 120cm reflector is perfect for instantaneous high definition satellite newsgathering,” said Mark Anderson, marketing operations manager at Vislink. “The Motorised MSAT is a solution specifically designed for first on scene reporting, that provides the perfect balance

between the functionality of a full vehicle mounted satellite terminal, and the speed, mobility and versatility needed to make sure you can deliver the first high definition video images from the scene, before anyone else, which is highly sought after.”

The Motorised MSAT is
capable of supporting either a 90cm or 120cm reflector and also offers data throughput rates of up to 10Mbps, making it, according to Vislink, the ideal system for a first on scene broadcast uplink. With simultaneous three-axis

motorisation and one button auto acquire, the MSAT data terminal is said to offer full support for two-way video, voice and data communications, and is designed for rapid deployment and one-man operation in a variety of scenarios.
A full tri-band optioned system that can support X, Ka and Ku band configurations with feeds that can be swapped on location, the Motorised MSAT is also claimed to be highly customisable and can be tailored to include the Advent DVE5100 H.264 encoder or a customer-specified IP modem fitted into the body of the unit. It meets IATA weight limits, weighing less than 25kg. If the prediction that 2016 will see no fewer than 1.8 billion in-home devices turns out to be accurate, there can be little doubt that video distribution will continue to grow — more content to more people, however it gets there, from wherever, to wherever. A broadcast world in which satellite technology does not continue to play a central role is, frankly, unimaginable. Doubters needed only to visit IBC 2013 for irrefutable proof of that.
