Corporate
While each industry has their own standards and practices, live satellite transmission is the same. Our teams show up dressed appropriately. Our tests are done in advance including a transmission test to the satellite of both our primary and backup paths. The tests are conducted on the day of and at the event location. We test transmission path to and from the satellite at least 4 hours prior to the start of the event. We do not charge for the satellite space used to test our equipment. All cables and communications to and from the event are double checked. We supply a feed of our signal returning from the satellite at all times. Satellite truck 3 offers 3 encoders and a stream monitor. The stream monitor is used on major corporate events to watch the encoding process so if an encoder starts to fail we can go to a backup before the transmission is affected. An entire backup stream is ready to go. Encoders have become more reliable in recent years but in the rare case of a failure of one encoder we can switch to a backup encoder. Because we have 3 encoders on board you would still retain a full transmission path and a full backup path. We are one of the first in the country to offer stream monitoring. We specialize in hassle free satellite uplinks and web streaming production services. Failure is not an option when your job is on the line.
