The value and appeal of live productions is undisputed. That is why our SAT-7 Lebanon Office regularly rented satellite uplink services in the past, in order to be able to include one live program in its schedule per week. Now we are happy to announce that those challenging days are nearly over! The arrival of a brand new, vehicle mounted Satellite News Gathering (SNG) dish will vastly enhance the number and quality of live programs produced in the country.
In order to make the new dish operable, an important MPEG2 encoder, which is already en route, must be installed and SAT-7 will also need to acquire an appropriate vehicle, a small generator, some cables and professional monitors. Once all those pieces are in place, a whole new era in SAT-7's broadcast capacity will begin! As Naji Daoud, the Lebanon Office Director, said: "The expansion of our programming and the launch of a new studio desperately required some fundamental changes to make our operation as a whole more effective. With our own mobile uplink permanently at our disposal, we will be in a position to significantly increase the frequency of live programs, even from different locations," says Naji. It is a dream come true for SAT-7 Lebanon, and will be a blessing for innumerable viewers!
