Sat in the city:

tions and exhibitors taking part. IBC
recorded 77.041 registrations and
46.250 visitors attended the show,
breaking all previous records by nearly
5%. Visitors came from over 130
countries worldwide – a perfect opportunity
to present the new product
highlights.
Not only the strong colours turn the
TechniSat booth into an “eye-catcher”.
Between the other booths, with
unobtrusive colours, the TechniSat
booth was in sight afar: One of the
brand marks of the TechniSat Group.
But also the products have attracted
many visitors: The new TechniSat
HDTV 46 and HDTV 40 aroused the
interest of numerous guests, which
were sold on the high-class design as
well as the outstanding technology.
In addition to HDTV, TechniSat Digital
also presented its highlights in the
field of PC- and Satellite Reception
technology. In the following we will
present our newcomers and IBC highlights
2008:
Set-top-boxes
Digital HDTV receiver for reception of
digital satellite or digital cablel: DIGIT
HD8-SX and DIGIT HD8-CX.
PC products
SkyStar 2 TV – PCI card for IP data reception
via satellite.
SkyStar USB 2 HD CI – external USB 2.0
box for the reception of digital highresolution
television and radio programmes
via satellite, equipped with
an integrated CI-Slot.
These come along with a lot of different
PC cards and USB boxes – available
for the reception of DVD-S, DVD-C
and DVB-T.
Satellite Reception Technology –
TechniRouter – GigaSystem
TechniSat Digital has exclusively presented
their TechniRouters and Multi-
Switches at IBC 2008.
The TechniRouter is a single cable solution
without programme limitation!
Existing cable structure in residential
buildings can be upgraded with digital
satellite signals from a satellite
option without any need for relaying
of cables. The ground unit enables to
provide up to eight attendees with the
satellite or terrestrial signal, with interlinking
a cascade unit the number
of receptors can be increased to 16.
GigaSystem 17/8 G was also one of
our highlights presented in Amsterdam.
This system offers the distribution
of four satellite positions and can
be extended to a high number of attendees.
GigaSystem 17/8 G considers
that beside the usage for television
also Internet connection is receivable
via satellite today and that just one
satellite position is not longer up-todate.
For sure, these products are qualified
for the transmission of HD satellite TV!
Due to our nice and comfortable atmosphere
at the booth, that some of
the visitors called to be a living room,
combined with outstanding highquality
products we have been able
to welcome a lot of customers during
the days.
We like to thank all who visited our
booth at IBC2008 and hope we will
see us again at IBC 2009!
