SFN limits: Company SFN limits Patents OPTIMUX modules DTH & DTT Advertisement EWS TV Regional TV Local Key advantages Network adapter • SFN networks need identical transport streams for SFN transmitters • When it comes to the content modification needs, such as regionalization, parallel DTT & DTH transmission, regional content insertion, this causes a steep increase of distribution bandwidth – as they need to transmit multiple and modified transport streams. • This significantly impacts the flexibility to modify and regionalize SFN signals. OPTIMUX allows to support regionalization by keeping OPEX cost at minimal level eliminating multiplication of required bandwidth. slide 9
