SatLink chooses Snell's Alchemist for standard conversion

Supplied by the integrator Draco, the Alchemist Ph.C-HD TX50 and Alchemist Ph.C-HD TX60 will allow SatLink to have a high quality of frame-rate conversion while maintaining an optimal viewing experience.

SatLink Communications, provider of video, audio and data transmission solutions, has opted for two Alchemist Ph.C-HD systems from Snell for global distribution of video sources including sporting events such as the London Games for Asia and Africa.

Supplied by the integrator Draco, the Alchemist Ph.C-HD TX50 and Alchemist Ph.C-HD TX60 will allow SatLink to have a high quality frame-rate conversion while maintaining an optimal viewing experience regardless of the type of content being distributed.

David Hochner, CEO at SatLink, commented: "As the distribution of high-value, high-definition content increases around the world, we are experiencing an increasing demand for high-quality conversion with motion compensation. Thanks to its phase correlation technology, Alchemist Ph.C-HD sets the bar for quality, ensuring that content is distributed to our customers at the high standard that the standard requires. Our customers, including news and sports broadcasters, demand the highest quality, and with Snell we have found a robust and reliable solution.”

The Alchemist Ph.C-HD TX50 and TX60 HD are designed to produce HD converted outputs that are virtually indistinguishable from the input.
