CONTENT DISTRIBUTION & CREATION

A GLOBAL GATEWAY WITH PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN JAPAN

OVERVIEW

SKY Perfect JSAT is the leading satellite pay TV provider in Japan. We provide a range of occasional use services and facilities available to international broadcast and corporate clients.

Our experience in content creation and delivery, combined with our extensive facilities and network infrastructure, allows us to provide transmission and production solutions both within Japan and throughout Asia. For live sports, live music, corporate and medical events we are uniquely positioned to support international clients with broadcast projects in Asia.

Our teleports located in eastern and western Japan, offer a total of 16 available C-band TVRO antennas with 1 agile antenna at each facility. Both teleports have a fiber connection to our Tokyo Media Centre that in turn is connected to all Japan’s major fibre carriers. We are therefore able to provide TVRO from any uplink to an Asian satellite allowing content to be turned onto our fibre network and delivered to the US, Europe or other parts of the world.

Within Japan, we are also able to provide C-Band Uplinks from our fixed earth stations and Ku-Band uplinks from SNGs.

At the centre of our network is our Tokyo Media Center (TMC). In addition to connectivity, services that TMC is able to provide, include ingest, archiving, graphics, clipping, provision of highlight packages, streaming and transfer onto OTT or VOD platforms. TMC is also able to offer broadcast studios, edit suites and off tube commentary facilities.
