Intelsat, Harmonic partner on Ultra HD satellite test feed

This channel will be broadcast via Intelsat's Galaxy 13 satellite located at 127° West, and will provide pay-TV operators with an opportunity to prepare and test their UHD transmissions as they start down-linking content through their own networks and into subscribers' homes. This platform will also be available to US cable programmers to conduct their own testing of 4K content.

Intelsat's Galaxy 13 satellite has 76 HD channels and reaches 98% of the cable headends in the continental US.

The initial commissioning test signal will leverage transport stream servers located at Intelsat's teleport facility in Atlanta, and Harmonic's ProMedia Xpress multiscreen transcoder and packager for pre-compression of the UHD video loop. Later this year, Harmonic will deploy its MediaGrid shared storage system, Polaris playout management suite, Spectrum X advanced media server system and Electra X3 advanced media processor to enable full UHD channel production and transmission from the company's HVN Centre in San Jose, California. That signal will then be uplinked in Intelsat's teleport facility in Atlanta via Intelsat's Galaxy 13 satellite.

"As consumers purchase millions of 4K televisions before Ultra HD content even reaches critical mass, it has become clear that they are ready to experience the fully immersive viewing experience that Ultra HD provides," said Peter Ostapiuk, head of media product services at Intelsat. "By partnering with Harmonic, Intelsat can now enable pay-TV operators to test the distribution of live linear Ultra HD broadcasts in crystal-clear 2160p60 resolution to the home. Our customers will now have an opportunity to further test bandwidth allocation and UHD content delivery via Intelsat's hybrid satellite terrestrial network, which will pave the way for the distribution of amazing content — from popular sporting events to the latest movies and TV shows — and a viewing experience that can enhance customer satisfaction."

There was one old news for Asia also

AsiaSat to deploy Asia’s first dedicated Ultra HD platform

AsiaSat has announced plans to launch Asia’s first dedicated Ultra HD broadcast platform.

A single C-band transponder is being deployed on AsiaSat 4 (122 degrees East). It will deliver between two and five full-time UHD channels. Transmissions will be based on current DVB-S2 and HEVC solutions.

It will be available for reception by terrestrial TV stations, pay TV platforms and home viewers across Asia which possess appropriate decoding equipment and a C-band antenna in the region of 2.4 metres (this naturally makes the assumption that the necessary decoders are actually available).
