	Mobile TV is Coming. Soon. Will You Be Ready ? Modern consumers increasingly expect their TV experience to be available anywhere, anytime. In response, mobile operators are starting to deploy broadcast technologies to provide access to a broad range of popular content. Mobile broadcast TV is emerging as an ideal complementary service to conventional unicast mobile video, providing a compelling market opportunity for service providers that promises to increase average revenue per user (ARPU) and customer retention.

	Secure, High-quality Video Transmission over IP Networks As IP becomes the transport network of choice, careful attention must be paid to maximise quality of service. When IP video is transported, operators can experience problems of packet loss, out of packet arrivals, and packet jitter. The Forward Error Correction (FEC) functionality of the Digital Content Manager (DCM) provides an open standards-based solution for error recovery in video streams when transported over public or private IP networks that suffer from random burst or occasional packet loss. At the transmission site, the DCM inserts additional packets that the receiving DCM can use to reconstruct lost video packets. Learn more about the Digital Content Manager

	Revolutionize the Cost of DVB-T Distribution The combination of our Digital Content Manager (DCM) and the new compact Satellite D9804™ Multiple Transport Receiver (MTR) offers an efficient solution for the distribution of DVB-T, DVB-H and DVB-C signals over satellite, enabling massive CAPEX and OPEX savings. This provides a giant step forward in density and flexibility, eliminating multiple devices, and, when combined with the built-in over-the-air control mechanism option, provides huge savings on operational costs.
