DSNG antenna is streamlined for speed
Satmission By David Fox
The new Satmission Streamline SMP 155DA is a drive-away broadcast satellite antenna system that can be deployed in less than 60 seconds. The high gain antenna system is being shown installed on a Land Rover Discovery DSNG vehicle, designed and built by UK- based systems integrator Broadcast Networks. The vehicle supports live SD and HD feeds, with voice and internet communications, for live sports and news coverage. The aerodynamically designed carbon fibre antenna is optimised to reduce weight, and allow the vehicle to be driven comfortably at high speeds. It comes with a redundant/phase-combined
400W amplifier system from Communications and Power Industries resulting in an EIRP above 70 dBW.
The antenna is compliant with Eutelsat, Intelsat and FCC requirements, and is equipped with GPS, Fluxgate Compass and DVB2 receiver. “The Streamline SMP 155DA is the lowest and lightest complete drive-away antenna system on the market,” said Arto Brushane, CEO

Satmission. “The system is easy to operate, intelligently designed and adapted to suit our clients’ demands. It’s vehicle agnostic, which makes it a simple yet powerful solution to deploy in DSNG fleets working in any terrain and climate.” OE106
The already adaptable Ace L fluid head has gained several new accessories to make it more versatile, along with compatibity with all types of sliders. The new Ace Base Plate, Ace Follow Focus and Ace Matte Box are available individually or in a competitively-priced package. Sachtler has added slider compatibility to all new Ace L heads, so that it can now be easily converted to a flat base, through the removal of a bottom screw, and mounted on a range of sliders.
The Ace L has a payload range of up to 6kg and can be used with three different carbon fibre tripods (the floor spreader, mid-level spreader or telescopic tripod system), and the slider functionality was

Ace acquires adaptable accessories
Sachtler By David Fox asked for.
The Ace Accessories range is aimed at filling the gap in the market for high quality and economical support gear. The height adjustable base plate provides the platform for the other two accessories to be attached to a tripod using standard 15mm rods. The user- friendly Follow Focus operates backlash free and allows users to change the direction of the drive gear mechanism, as well as easily set the hard stops, by pressing one or two buttons. The Ace Matte Box provides housing for up to two 4x4 or 4x4.56 filters, and has adjustable top and side flags, two filter stages (one rotating), four filter frames, two different sized donuts, one gear wheel and a friction drive wheel. It has also introduced a Speedlevel bowl clamp for its 100mm heads. The new design should enable smoother and quicker levelling of the head, reducing set-up time. 11.E55
