M7 Group Boosts Broadcast Efficiency With PRESS RELEASE M7 GROUP BOOSTS BROADCAST EFFICIENCY WITH NEWTEC Award-winning Newtec MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway will further improve M7 Group’s broadcasts ensuring high video quality for European viewers via Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH’s uplink in Usingen, Germany Photo: Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH’s Teleport in Usingen, Germany, which provides the uplink for M7 Group’s services powered by Newtec’s Satcom equipment LUXEMBOURG, and, SINT-NIKLAAS, Belgium, 23 May 2017. Newtec – a specialist in designing, developing and manufacturing equipment and technologies for satellite communications – today announced its broadcast equipment has been selected by M7 Group for its new European Direct-to-Home (DTH) transmission sites. The award-winning MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway selected by the M7 Group, comes with the latest transmission standard DVB-S2X on board, as well as Newtec’s own efficiency improvement technologies, allowing M7 Group to save bandwidth. As a dense solution, the Newtec MCX7000 saves power and rack space. Using M7 Group’s existing capacity more efficiently enables the media company to add more channels in the best possible quality on the same satellite transponders. Viewers receiving content via Media Broadcast Satellite GmbH’s uplink in Usingen, Germany, will benefit from the new platform which is due to be installed later this year. “Newtec’s broadcast equipment has provided us with a proven reliable and cost-effective solution for our network,” said Ron Paans, Technical Director at M7 Group. “We operate a number of brands across Europe so it is crucial we deliver uninterrupted content to viewers in high quality and we are confident the Newtec MCX7000 will enable us to do this, while also bringing important bandwidth savings without impacting quality.” The deployment of the MCX7000s strengthens the long-standing partnership between Newtec and the M7 Group, which previously also upgraded its installed base with several Newtec M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulators including the Newtec Equalink® pre-distortion technology and Clean Channel Technology®.

  • Pay AV Services in Europe: the State of Play
    Pay AV services in Europe The state of play Laura Ene June 2019 A publication of the European Audiovisual Observatory Table of Contents Key trends of the pay AV services market in Europe Drivers of pay AV services in Europe Distribution of pay AV services in Europe Ownership of pay AV services in Europe Introduction The pay audiovisual (AV) services market has been going through significant changes in the past decade: the quick roll-out of broadband internet-based IPTV services; the transition from analogue to digital cable service; the consolidation of pay-TV operators in the cable and satellite segments and obviously, the steady rise of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services. In this context, the aim of this report is to provide a big picture of the pay-services market in Europe and its evolutions since 2008. It provides key figures for the two main segments, linear pay-television and subscription video-on-demand and puts them into perspective. It identifies the main factors that are likely to affect their development, and identifies three different market configurations as regards the interactions between linear pay-TV and SVOD. And finally it presents the key players in the market. It is important to note that each national market has been and is still shaped by very specific conditions, often exogenous to the pay audiovisual services, including purchasing power, supply of free services, penetration and performance of broadband access and, obviously regulation. This report analyses the impact of some of these factors without claiming to identify a fully comprehensive set of “models” for the development of pay AV services.
