Many different configurations and uplink/downlink frequency bands are available to suit your needs. Please call and inquire with Jim Parker at 1-775-329-1515.
We use a DTV Innovations Gryphon PVE-3 (IDC Titan 3) DVB-S2 HD encoder for best in class MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compression with QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 16APSK, 32 APSK schemes. It features a low video latency of 150ms and both AC-3 and uncompressed audio pass through its 16 audio channels.
