Another HD service launches on European Astra satellites
Following is a press release from German channel ProSieben giving yet more proof that High Definition for Europe really is here to stay…
”ProSiebenSat1 Produktion and SES ASTRA are proud to announce a premiere in European commercial free-to-air television. On October 14th, ProSiebenSat.1 Produktion will, for the very first time, simultaneously broadcast a high-resolution HDTV (High Definition Television) signal in parallel with the traditional digital standard-resolution via ASTRA 19.2° East.
The ProSieben/BBC co-production "Pride - The Law of the Savannah" (a wildlife program about the adventures of a young lion) will be available to viewers equipped with appropriate receivers both via conventional standard-definition (SD) reception and, exclusively via ASTRA, in the new, crystal-clear HDTV standard.
With the significantly enhanced picture quality provided by HDTV, "Pride" can be viewed with much greater, true-to-life detail. The visual experience will be completed by Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, providing viewers for the first time ever with true cinema quality in the living room. Technically speaking, the broadcast will be simulcast in parallel to the regular SD signal, the film being played out in HDCAM SR (1080i/50 Hz) and delivered to an MPEG-2 HD encoder with a data rate of some 1.4 gigabits/s. The HD broadcast of Pride will be available via ASTRA Transponder No. 103 (12460 Mhz, H-polarisation, SR 27.500, FEC ¾.). An HD promo trailer of Pride will be available as of October 12th. The transponder capacity required for this HDTV premiere in commercial Free-TV is provided courtesy of SES ASTRA.
