SISLink to launch uPod uplink at NAB

Uniquely designed to meet clients requirements, uPod is a self-contained automatic uplink designed to provide broadcasters with an alternative to a full SNG/OB vehicle.
SISLink will demonstrate this, the next generation of uplink systems, when uPod is un-veiled at NAB 2004.
SISLink, Europe’s leading independent provider of uplink services, have created uPod with flexibility and ease of operation in mind. uPod is so adaptable it can be bolted onto almost any vehicle. It automatically finds and tracks a fixed or inclined satellite capacity and is fully redundant with two pods each containing a complete uplink chain.
The simplicity of uPod doesn’t mean performance or availability of service are compromised.
Matching that of a standard SNG vehicle, uPod is fully equipped with PAL/NTSC analogue or SDI inputs, spectrum analyser displays and dual path capabilities.
uPod is ideal for use with most vehicles, as inside all that is required is the operator with a tablet pc. uPod can also be controlled remotely via a fibre optic cable. For ‘flyaway mode’, uPod can be easily broken down into manageable units.
David Meynell, General Manager SISLink, said: “As the leading service provider of uplink vehicles across Europe, SISLink has a vast knowledge of our clients requirements and we have used this in the design and development of uPod. I believe that the unique features of uPod will set the standard for uplink design in the future”.
SISLink have provided broadcasters with satellite services for 14 years. With several already on order, uPod is set to become an integral part of SISLink’s fleet of over 40 uplink trucks and flyaways.
