    SatLink Communications has launched its new MCPC, or Multi Channel Per Carrier, platform on Eutelsat’s W2 satellite.

    With uplinks to the full transponder platform directly from SatLink’s Middle East teleport, channels from around the globe are now able to reach the satellite’s regions over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East via SatLink’s global fiber network or turnaround using one of the teleport’s more than 70 antennas.

    W2 offers channels a particularly comprehensive Balkan channel environment and penetration.

    Located at 16 degrees East, W2’s Ku-band widebeam offers enhanced capability for television and multimedia broadcasting.

    QVC increases number of online content streams

    Although QVC's production capabilities have always been strong, the options were limited when it came to master control. The current configuration allowed the network’s signal to be viewed on multiple platforms, such as smartphones and tablets, as part of the QVC-Everywhere initiative. However, the content available on each device type was the same, as there was only one original stream. The goal of the master control/NOC project was to expand playout capabilities to allow more content choices down the road, provide better monitoring of both outbound and return signals, and increase fault tolerance.
