SES Astra installs multivisors Boat SMV-116

The satellite operator selects for its Luxembourg headquarters the multivisors of 16 channels Boat SMV-116.

In order to monitor the heavy signal traffic in the centre of Betzdorf, SES Astra has commissioned Barco to supply numerous multivisor systems for 16 SMV-116 channels. With this operation, Astra aims to increase the monitoring capacity and make its current system of screens for tracking the video signals that the operator maintains in its satellite network more flexible.

SMV-116 multivisors will be installed alongside Barco Hydra controllers, thus multiplying the maximum capacity of each of the DVI inputs by a factor of 16. In practice, SES Astra will be able to select from more video sources, of any kind from analog to high definition. SMV-116 systems also allow the visualization of audio levels. until 256 embedded audio channels can be displayed on screen, being able to each SMV-116 monitor up to 32 unmixed audio channels, analog or AES/EBU.
