Much of the focus around the Digital Switch-Over understandably focuses on its impact on the domestic sector. Getting the right digital system for your project is vital and we can provide many tailored solutions based on three main routes listed below:

I.R.S

An integrated reception system or IRS offers the ultimate in Digital TV choice. By collecting the broadcast signals from both terrestrial and satellite transmitters, as well as radio signals from the new Digital Audio Broadcasts (DAB), it leaves those who purchase the dwellings you build free to choose exactly how they receive their digital entertainment.

M.A.T.V

Master Antenna Television (or MATV) systems differ from IRS by only offering Freeview and DAB radio. For those projects where giving residents the optimum choice of satellite TV is not a prime objective -- such as affordable housing, prisons or hospitals -- this can be more cost effective for the developer. The system operates via a launch amplifier which is installed to receive, process and combine the signals before distributing them through a digitally screened coaxial cable network to an outlet plate, which the TV or radio is then connected to.

S.M.A.T.V

Satellite Master Antenna Television (or SMATV) systems are often used in environments where the number and type of channels available needs to be controlled, i.e. care homes, prisons, hospitals, holiday resorts and hotels. A head-end unit is installed to receive the signals from a digital aerial, satellite dish or in some cases both. This unit processes the signals into pre-selected range of channels and distributes them to each point. Guests can then access selected satellite or Freeview channels independently of each other.

Whichever system is right for you, Digital Solutions Satellite Ltd will ensure that it is installed to the very highest standards. We also offer a flexible supply and commission service - your electricians can first-fit the cable to the spec we supply -- and we then connect and check the system.
