BrandTV is a service platform allowing
production and distribution of tailored content (such as
logos, banners, text, images, etc.) to be displayed on
screens in the different betting shops in combination
with the live video of the horse races and greyhound
races. The multimedia screen format is generated at
SIS' broadcast hub using professional standard
equipment, rendered as a composite video screen,
MPEG encoded, and broadcast out to all receivers
simultaneously. Although this enables SIS to present a
set of multimedia formats for their customers there is
just one centrally created multimedia format available.

A system PDR was successfully completed with ESA in February 2006 for the CX-OLEV mission, a GEO on-orbit servicing system which extends the mission lifetime of GEO telecom satellites. As this system is now based on a SMART-like platform, this study is being carried out in order to achieve the same level of maturity with new spacecraft. This adaptation study has been restricted only to the SENER responsibilities in the project lead by SSC.

The EDRS (European Data Relay Satellite) Service Provider Study was carried out by Eutelsat with the aim of investigating both technical and commercial aspects of the EDRS system from the Satellite Operator?s perspective. The EDRS mission and architectures analysed in this study are primarily compatible with the service delivery of data relay and data repatriation/dissemination for GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) as well as data relay applications for the ISS (International Space Station). There are numerous additional services which can be offered by the system and these include data relay transfer for other Earth Observation (EO) missions, UAVs (Unmanned Arial Vehicles) or Launchers.
