Receiving the correct independent advice regarding your requirements, and having a system professionally designed and installed is very important, and this is where we specialise.

We always recommend that the TV specification of a project is handled by a specialist such as ourselves, rather than included in the general Electrical specification. This way we can make the client aware of the best and latest type of system for the development.

Specification for IRS

An IRS (Integrated Reception System) distributes the following:

  • Existing terrestrial analogue channels at UHF frequencies
  • Digital terrestrial multiplexes
  • Digital satellite I.F. frequencies from Astra 28º East satellite (Sky Digital)
  • Local FM and DAB Radio broadcasts

hotbirdOptions for an IRS

A normal IRS delivers all the frequencies from the Sky Digital Satellite, but there are many European satellite channels available from other satellites such as German, Arabic, Italian, French, and Spanish. Frequencies from another satellite such as Eutlesat Hotbird 13° could be delivered on an IRS by having a 9-cable backbone system.
