Reaching millions
In the video industry, your success is directly proportional to the size of your audience. Our Direct-to-Home (DTH) solution takes care of all the technical details associated with management and delivery of video content, allowing you to take high-bandwidth HD and Ultra HD content to your audiences—no matter where they are.
Enabling viewers to enjoy their favourite content in high quality
DTH allows end users to enjoy their favourite linear content from platforms like Sky, Canal+ or DishTV, via a supported satellite dish antenna, set-top box (STB), and other related components. A linear distribution service via DTH works by broadcasting a single signal or channel to millions of households simultaneously. The chain of events occurs in the following manner:
- SES, or a partner teleport, receives the channel or content via satellite or terrestrial means.
- Once the channel has arrived at the teleport, it’s re-encoded to achieve the correct bandwidth rate.
- It’s then multiplexed into a single stream which is modulated and uplinked to the satellite.
- The signal is then broadcasted to all participating households simultaneously.
Additional content management and playout services can be applied during this process prior to multiplexing, including encryption when necessary.
