Convergent Technology Networks currently
provides several types of broadcast services.
These include the uplinking of live and delayed
television events, syndication of entertainment,
religious, education, or special interest
programming, insertion of commercials, storing
and replaying from a tape library, uplinking
radio programs, conversion and turnaround
between C and KU Bands and business video
streaming and video conferencing.
CTN offers connectivity in the 1-54 megabit
range. This enables the Company to service
numerous receive-only remote locations through a
single wide band uplink. Typical applications
for this are training, briefings, other
information dissemination, and inter-site
discussions. This technology can serve as the
basis of a far-reaching communications system or
serve as an extension of a company's current
network.
There is a Fixed Video Service at the Company’s
facility where program playback, editing, and
recording can be done. This is accomplished
through a combination of the Transmission
Operation Center and a studio that has video tape
recording and editing capabilities. The
services provided by the fixed video department
include analog video for syndicated network
programming, teleconferencing, and turnarounds,
which are the simultaneous uplinking and downlinking of programs. The studio can
broadcast live or tape delayed programming on a
continuous basis.
Convergent Technology Networks work with several
syndication distributors to provide delayed
uplinking, including syndication of various
types of programming. For instance, CTN
uses a master reel of footage and uplinks it to
a satellite. The signal is then received by
television stations that record the program and
play it back at a scheduled time.
