Turnkey DTH

A Turnkey DTH service provides end-to-end video distribution combined with cloud-based service management, enabling broadcasters to rapidly launch fully-managed TV services, delivering the highest image quality, with maximum audience reach. Bringing together the strengths of traditional satellite broadcasting with next-generation features, the fully integrated platform delivers an enriched viewer experience, with features including live channel broadcasting, channel numbering, comprehensive programme information, content security, subscriber management and a full range of white label set-top-boxes.

As we increasingly use our mobile devices to access video content and stream live events, we want to enjoy the same content experience we have at home, wherever we are. However, at public venues visitors often cannot reliably stream video content on their mobile devices without suffering buffering issues when demand is high. 

Broadcasters and public venue owners need a solution to address this untapped audience and provide a high-quality, cost-effective viewing experience for visitors. By leveraging the power of satellite broadcasting, they can provide high quality video streaming services to mobile devices, irrespective of local internet connection speeds or network congestion.

What is CIRRUS Venue? 

Eutelsat CIRRUS Venue enables linear TV and video distribution to mobile devices in public venues and areas where there is limited terrestrial coverage. Combining Eutelsat’s extensive satellite fleet with local Wi-Fi distribution, public video streams have never been more reliable or better quality - no matter how many simultaneous viewers, and without consuming any mobile data allowance.

Thanks to the inherent strength of linear multicast over satellite, CIRRUS Venue guarantees superior quality of video distribution, extending access to video content on mobile devices beyond terrestrial networks, and helping broadcasters maximize both reach and content monetization.

Reinventing content discovery for FTA satellite TV channels

For the free-to-air (FTA) ecosystem, the Eutelsat CIRRUS media platform brings a unique value, enabling broadcasters to target specific markets from Eutelsat’s video hotspots and engage with massive audiences. Channels are referenced in Eutelsat’s new FTA set-top-boxes, with prominent channel numbering for each relevant market, comprehensive programme information, content search and reminders, maximising the conversion of massive satellite reach into real TV audience. Unique features for the FTA world, such as a channel line-up that is regionalised and always up-to-date, and PVR functionality, give audiences an enhanced user experience with relevant content to watch.

Extending broadcaster engagement through companion screens

Designed to increase broadcaster engagement with their audiences, a mobile version of the Free-to-Air Programme Guide is also available on mobile devices. This app, Sat.tv, has already registered over one million downloads.

Sat.tv gives users extensive access to programme details in the HOTBIRD and 7/8° West channel line-ups, with options to browse by time, channel or type of content. Preferred content can be selected in a click, and personalised recommendations generated based on viewer tastes. Viewers can also share app content on their social media profiles. The user-friendly programme guide interface is available for viewers in five languages (English, French, Russian, Italian, Arabic).
