uPak60 - This fully automated VSAT features a 60cm parabolic antenna, capable of high speed data and HD SNG transmissions. uPak60 can be carried as checked airline baggage and operated with little or no training.

DriveForce, SIS LIVE’s innovative vehicle mounted antenna, features a carbon fibre 1.8m dish for high bandwidth HD transmissions. Functioning in Ka, Ku, X and C bands it boasts the highest operational wind performance available, up to 60mph. Mounted on a Mercedes Sprinter stationed in the outside exhibition area, DriveForce will transmit IBC TV News daily broadcasts.

RouteCase is a self-contained and affordable HD production studio which features with fully synchronous mixing between 4 HD/SDI inputs, a DVI-D input and a 10 channel audio mixer. Extremely portable, it has been used to cut live coverage of countless events including from aboard aircraft, at conferences or from pop-up music events. SIS LIVE’s RouteCase® was also selected by IBC TV News for use during live webcast interviews as part of its multi-media content offering.

PlexSIS - SIS LIVE’s new fibre optic system lowers the cost of distributing digital video and simplifies the setup of cable systems by transporting up to 16 SDI signals over a single optical fibre.
