DBS provides the wide variety of transmission services necessary for teleconferencing and broadcast in the New York area. With the varied venues creating totally different circumstances, the use of different technologies to overcome location, accessibility to satellites and potential RF pickup on cables allows us to plan and develop transmission schemes for the simplest or most complex requirements.

Some of the many issues we deal with are

DBS is also has knowledge of virtually all New York hotels and likely venues and a working relationship with most A/V companies.  We can also refer you to many of the finest project coordinators and producers to help you plan your next event regardless of its size or complexity.

When asked to provide fully redundant bidirectional transmission to and from Orion from a hotel one block from the World Trade Center and on the "wrong side" of Manhattan for access to Orion, DBS utilized the above plan. Video/audio cabling from the third floor ballroom to the roof of the hotel was all fiber to avoid RF pickup. (The Canobeam II modulates on frequencies not used by broadcasters to allow use of special coax cable.) The use of laser and microwave allowed for different technologies to link the hotel with the uplink/downlink compound allowing each to back up the other. The downlink was backed up by the uplink; the uplink was backed up by microwave to the Empire State Building and on to a teleport, if needed; and the path to the Empire State Building would also serve for local acquisition of the outbound program feed by broadcasters, if required. Each outbound audio subcarrier provided respective mix-minus to the two European sites, eliminating any risk of audio feedback during interactive dialogue.
