HM5 Transfer to SES-14 Eurovision Media Services HM5 transfer to SES-14 Eurovision Media Services October 2018 HM5 transfer to SES-14 (English version) 0 HM5 transfer from IS-34 to SES-14 1. Introduction SES-14, launched on 26 January 2018 by Arianespace, has replaced SES's satellite NSS-806 from September 2018 at 47.5 degrees west. Eurovision Media Services (EMS) is now using this new satellite to distribute sports events and news content over the Americas. The Hypermux 5 (HM5) is a full time multiplex platform allowing distribution of Sport events and News contents to American Broadcasters, currently on IS-34 transponder AE01C. EMS will move this multiplex platform from IS-34 (55.5 W) to SES-14 by 31 December 2018. 2. SES-14 transponder HEL-19/HER-19 The new HM5 platform will be hosted on transponder HEL-19/HER-19 (79 MHz). Please find below the technical parameters of the transponder. It is worth noting that this transponder operates on circular polarisation.

Hypermux 5 (HM5) satellite transfer details The Hypermux 5 (HM5) is a full time multiplex platform allowing distribution of Sport events and News contents to American Broadcasters, currently on IS-34 transponder AE01C. The Hypermux 5 (HM5) will be available from 17th October 2018 on SES-14 transponder HEL- 19/HER-19. From 17th October to 31st December 2018, the receiving broadcasters will have the opportunity to adjust the receiving chains and test the reception from SES-14: in order to receive the HM5 signal, each receiving broadcaster will need to have a C-Band antenna pointed at 47.5 degree west able to receive circular polarisation. The minimum recommended dish size to receive SES-14 is shown in Section 4. HM5 transfer to SES-14 (English version) 2 Hypermux 5 (HM5) will terminate on Intelsat 34 transponder AE01C on 31st December 2018 2359 GMT. From 1st January 2019 00 GMT, the HM5 will be operational only on SES-14 transponder HEL-19/HER-19. Please note that the migration of the Hypermux involves a change of polarisation. Takers are therefore required to verify that their infrastructure is compatible. The configuration of HM5 on SES-14 will be the following: SES-14 txp HEL-19/HER-19 configuration Downlink frequency [MHz] 4156.5 Downlink Polarisation Circular Right Hand ASI interface bitrate [Mbps] 155.0 Modulation NS4 16APSK FEC (BCH+LDPC) 17/30 Pilot ON Frame Normal Roll-off [%] 10 NLC mode OFF Symbol Rate [MSps] 70.0 Occupied Bandwidth [MHz] 77.0 Please note that the Transport Stream will be encrypted (as for IS-34) with the HMCrypt system. The schedule for HM5 transfer is summarised in the table below: Date Start of simulcast period: HM5 will be available 17 October 2018, 00:00 GMT on both IS-34 and SES-14 17 October 2018 – 31 December 2018 HM5 available on both IS-34 and SES-14 31 December 2018, 23.59 GMT HM5 termination on IS-34 From 1 January 2019, 00:00 GMT HM5 will be available only on SES-14 To receive the services from HM5, takers require: Novelsat NS2000 demodulators with firmware version 6.1 NS4 license HM5 transfer to SES-14 (English version) 3 DRM (EBU) license Demodulators’ S/N must have been entered in the Novelsat Network Management System (NMS). Compatible decoders Figure 2 shows the typical installation at the reception side. Figure 2: Typical installation at the reception side Please see Annex 1 for Eurovision HM5 reception checklist. Broadcasters are invited to contact the relevant manufacturers to purchase the adequate equipment directly and to communicate to Eurovision their S/N. Eurovision may also be able to assist broadcasters to procure new Novelsat demodulators. Should you wish to order the required demodulators directly from Eurovision, please contact Eurovision Bookings on the e-mail address below. Eurovision Bookings: [email protected] 4. Recommended reception dish size In order to receive SES-14 Eurovision Media Services feeds, it is recommended to use 3.7m C-Band dishes, with G/T > 23.0 dB/K at 20° elevation with clear horizon.

Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued).

This latest mission by the Ariane 5 heavy launcher once again shows how its top-flight capabilities perfectly match the launch service needs of the world’s leading operators and manufacturers. Building on its proven reliability and availability, Arianespace maintains its position as the global benchmark in launch services. EUTELSAT 8 West B and Intelsat 34 will be the 513th and 514th satellites launched by Arianespace. EUTELSAT 8 West B EUTELSAT 8 West B will be the 30th satellite orbited by Arianespace for the private operator EUTELSAT. With a fleet of 37 satellites, EUTELSAT is one of the world’s leading space telecommunications operators. EUTELSAT is the leading operator in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and third worldwide in terms of revenues. It has entrusted its satellites to Arianespace for over 30 years, starting with the launch of its first satellite, Eutelsat-1-F1, in June 1983. Fitted with 40 active Ku-band transponders, EUTELSAT 8 West B will be positioned at 8° West, and will provide in particular high-definition and ultra-high-definition direct TV broadcast services to North Africa and the Middle East.
