USING AN EDP
The operator sends the signal to a central Eutelsat Digital Platform and leases a part of the bitrate within a digital multiplex. Transmission to the EDP can be via a contribution link, satellite "hop", or terrestrial lines if the signal originates near an operating EDP. The signal is multiplexed and transmitted via the satellite for broadcasting.

BROADCAST SERVICES :: EUTELSAT DIGITAL PLATFORMS
For cost-effective access to satellite networks and turnkey services,
Eutelsat Digital Platforms (EDP) are the answer for small broadcasters
and multimedia content providers. We have joined with operators of on-ground
multiplex facilities to enable the lease of individual satellite carriers
from various multiplexes throughout Europe.
With Eutelsat's Digital Platforms, broadcasters no longer have to invest in expensive multiplexing facilities and space segment.
EDPs offer cost-effective satellite hops, or contribution services and provide comprehensive digital TV, radio and multimedia applications. As a result the countries covered by our satellites have access to the most economical distribution systems for TV and multimedia.
EDPs offer full turnkey services including:
:: turnaround
:: tape playout
:: scrambling/encryption
:: monitoring and control
Other services include:
:: digital radio (both public and business)
:: data
:: multimedia applications using push technologies
:: high-speed Internet
The digital platforms also have flexible bitrate options handling the lower end bitrates of transmissions e.g.
:: audio
:: cartoons
:: teleshopping
:: conferences
and the higher rates of action-filled programmes e.g.
:: sports coverage
Different satellites, different services
EDPs transmitting to our HOT BIRD™ satellites, at 13 degrees East, offer a perfect solution for nationwide and pan-European services, or those targeted to smaller groups such as business TV or thematic channels.
The EDP transmitting to our W series satellites are a cost-effective solution for addressing special interest targets or small user groups for business applications.
