Satellite Network Control Technology

To automate and synchronize satellite network-broadcasting Hardata developed the SNC Technology (Satellite Network Control).

This technology gives you the chance to replace the national commercial break with a head-synchronized regional commercial break, automatically taking into account the different commercial break length in each place.

National Head

In the National head -that is the main network station generating national programming- Hardata hdxRadio Net is installed, where shows, national and regional advertisements, commercial breaks, and national programming broadcasting can be produced.

The audio generated in the National head, together with Hardata hdxRadio Net generated commands are added in a satellite encoder for satellite distribution by using a stereo audio channel plus a data channel (1200 to 9600 baud).

Remote stations

Remote stations receive the head generated national programming along with commands indicating when to disconnect from the satellite to broadcast their own commercial breaks. This solution also includes commercial break schedules to be played out and /or directions to record the audio channel.

Hardata Dinesat Radio Pro obtains the audio signal and the data associated to it by directly connecting to the satellite decoder so that it recognizes when to replace commercial breaks automatically, record the head audio in the remote station, insert music gap filling, perform crossfades, etc. Thus, you may customize your national programming using your own regional content simply and quickly.

The remote station can shift, according to its needs, from automatic working mode (head-synchronized) or working with regional production (shows, interviews or regional news, for instance). In this case you just have to assemble a local network with HardataDinesat Radio Pro stations for production and management.
