There is growing demand for high definition (HD) contribution services from the US and Japan, as well as other territories. Prime Television, working in conjunction with BT Broadcast Services, can now offer end to end SNG services of HD signals using specially developed rack equipment and purpose equipped HD satellite vehicles.
HD TV offers higher resolution, a higher frame rate and more audio channels than standard definition TV. All of these improve the quality of experience for the viewer.
The HD truck can handle compression and monitoring of HD services and we can organise capacity on numerous satellites as well fibre networks to handle the higher bit rates required for HD.
