Satellite Technology Overview
with Mark Long

A concentrated look at the technical side of Geostationary communications satellites and the receiving earth stations.  

When combined with our Satellite Installations DVD and our Guide to Digital Video Compression DVD, the audience obtains a complete information intensive short course on the technical aspects of satellite systems.

Satellite Technology Overview is a comprehensive presentation by author Mark Long, of the basic technical concepts of satellite TV, ranging from the satellites overhead to the systems hardware down on the ground. Related technologies such as encryption, compression, VSATs for business, broadband systems for consumers and two-way transportable terminals for disaster relief applications are also covered.

Our Satellite Technology Overview DVD is an information-intensive program targeted at enterprises, corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies that need to bring their staff, partners and customers up to speed on a wide range of satellite technologies.  It is an excellent tutorial for emergency management and disaster recovery personnel.

 

Author, technical trainer and consultant, Mark Long, gets right to the heart of the matter, beginning with basic technical principles and then progressing through each area of concern.

Important space segment considerations- such as satellite payloads, frequency bands, power levels, coverage beams and station keeping—are described along with corresponding earth segment considerations dealing with satellite antennas, feedhorns, LNBs, analog and digital receiver/decoders, encryption and digital video compression, potential problem sources and component integration.
 


Satellite Technology Overview is a general introduction to all aspects of satellite audio and video technology, concentrating on technical matters which cut across the spectrum of basic C-band, Ku-band, DBS (tiny dishes) and video compression.  This DVD provides the background and theory needed before anyone can pick up the tools and go to work!
