What does DSNG mean in NEWS & MEDIA

Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG) is a type of field television production used to gather live news video from remote locations. It uses a satellite truck, or flyaway kit, for point-to-point and multi-point communications with a satellite.

DSNG can provide cost savings compared to traditional mobile satellite services due to faster setup time and better price flexibility. DSNG systems are also capable of providing higher transmission speeds, making them ideal for transmitting large amounts of data quickly.

DSNG systems usually include a professional camera, audio recorder, mixer, monitors, graphics unit, encode/modulators and laptop computer. The encoding/modulation unit combines the audio and video signals which are transferred over the air by radio frequency onto the network’s satellite channel.

Data transmission with DSNG is secure as it uses encryption technology to protect signal integrity in order to ensure that no one else can access your broadcast content. Additionally, when used as part of an IPTV system, it provides a high level of data security since all transmissions are exchanged via private IP networks versus public ones.

The main advantages of using DSNG include improved picture quality due to increased resolution capability; ability to transmit real time HD broadcasts; reliable reception even in difficult locations; lower operational costs as compared to other transmission methods; low setup time; and more efficient usage of available bandwidth due to compressed digital transmissions.

A flyaway kit is compact equipment made up of lightweight components that can be quickly set up in remote locations for conducting DSNG broadcasts without having to transport a complete broadcast van. Typically these kits consist of antennas, modems, encoders/decoders along with their power supplies and cables.

Yes - you can use your own standard broadcasting equipment such as cameras or tripods together with compatible encoders/decoders from licensed broadcasters or professional providers based on the platform offered by your chosen network provider. This will help reduce costs significantly over using specialized vehicles each time you need live broadcasting capabilities from any location around the world.

For typical SD operation you’ll need around 30 Mbps upload rate in order to obtain an acceptable quality stream while HD broadcasts require upwards of 100 Mbps upload rate depending on the specific requirements. If transmitting 4K footage then an even higher rate may be required so it’s important to plan ahead rather than committing yourself afterwards without knowing exactly what you’ll need!

DSNG is used primarily in TV broadcasters but it’s just as effective for radio Broadcast stations with its ability to quickly set up antennas in multiple locations throughout the world allowing them to easily access their target audiences anywhere at anytime.
