Europe by Satellite Channel To Receive European Parliament Content Via AV Group's New Contract


Eyeheight homepage Eyeheight has been awarded a substantial order from the European Parliament in Brussels.

Placed via Eyeheight's Belgian reseller, AV Group, the contract includes the supply of equipment for four transmission rooms contributing EU-related editorial content to several EBU-member networks. Two additional transmission systems (main and auxiliary) are also being equipped, contributing to the Europe by Satellite channel (EbS), the multilingual free-to-air television news service of the European Union. Each transmission channel comprises an Eyeheight LS-2 SDI line synchroniser, a BF-2 fade-to-black module, a DK-2 down-stream keyer and an LI-1DS logo inserter programmed as a frame store. All functions are under manual control using Eyeheight FP-10 set-up control panels and TK-10 auxiliary control surfaces. Additionally, the EbS transmission room has an Eyeheight vista A/B vision mixer and an OL-2 SDI legaliser installed in line with an external input feed to the main output matrix. All modules are housed in five Eyeheight FB-9E 1 U chassis with redundant power supplies.
