Contribution and Distribution

Contribution, or 'backhaul,' and distribution, or 'playout,' refer to the movement of broadcast materials between facilities. In the contribution market, the focus remains on picture quality and the solutions that enable content transfer between studios and broadcast facilities. These solutions include material processing, editing and repackaging - and must ensure the highest quality video for onward distribution.

Distribution applications demand bulk transmission of finished program materials from a TV studio or a program packager. The number of channels being distributed - along with the requirement to maintain high quality - places heavy demands on the cost-effective and efficient use of bandwidth.

As the recognized market leader in the provision of content exchange systems, TANDBERG Television has built a wide range of solutions around the four key areas of delivery, management, monitoring and protection. These solutions are both scalable and flexible, meaning they will adapt to meet all your future needs - protecting your investment.
