IS LIVE, Europe's largest
operator of SNG vehicles, has
selected ATEME's Kyrion encoders
and decoders to equip 18 new
Ka band vehicles with the latest
compression technology for its
clients, ITN & ITV, two leading UKbased news and content providers.
SIS LIVE Managing Director David
Meynell said: "We are excited to
have the opportunity to work with
ATEME in providing ITN and ITV

line of products exceeded our
expectations, met all of our criteria
and overall was judged the best
technical and commercial ﬁt for this
uplink vehicle project."
ATEME's Kyrion CM5000 was
chosen for its state-of-the-art
built-in modulation, the Kyrion not
only saves space in the vehicle
compared to external modulators,
but also allows operators to reduce
"roll-off factors." This mode of
satellite modulation, also known as
"smaller guard intervals," will soon
be standardised under DVB-S2x,
maximising the effective bandwidth
of satellite transponders.
ATEME's CM5000 front panel and
web interfaces meet all SIS LIVE's
operational expectations with quick
access to conﬁguration menus and
immediate settings ensuring a fast
transmission start, as well as a builtin conﬁdence monitor that effectively
removes the need for a separate
monitor in the vehicle.
