  1. We are receiving then retransmitting a video signal from a satellite feed. I observed that our retransmitted video is wider by a few millimeter compare to the video from our source. Our system is composed of receiver, converter (PAL to NTSC), encoder, multiplexer then modulator. What could be the problem?

    Thanks....

    What do you mean by 'a few millimeter'? You mean the horizontal pixel width is different? There may be additional spacing added by the satellite feed. Though usually that's in the vertical direction. What are the dimensions in pixels, vertical and horizontal? Converting from PAL to NTSC may also be causing a problem as the normal pixel frame sizes of PAL and NTSC are different.

    Yep, its about the transmission standards and the hardware involved.

    There is still also overscan... 1088 and so on.

  4. I think it was not the horizontal pixel width its the picture that stretch. I was able to receive the same channel transmitted by other control site with the same system to us ( receiver, converter (PAL to NTSC), encoder, multiplexer then modulator), their video is ok. We can notice that the station logo is displayed beyond the TV border, it was cut into half but on the video of other control site the logo was fine.Please note that I am using a same model of TV monitor and receiver in comparing the two Satellite feed.

    Thankyou for your replies.

    Yeah, everything possible.

    But you don't know what they do prior "re-transmission" with the signal....

    I have seen such differences countless times, during feedhunting.

  6. Is there anything I can do, an additional equipment perhaps? or changing my configuration? I tried to check the output video for every equipment starting on the receiver; there is a slight expansion and as the signal enters a new equipment, expansion extends more.

    What modulation format do they use over there?

  9. What modulation format do they use over there?
    SIr we are both using QPSK modulation transmitted on Ku Band

    SD or HD signal?
    SD sir

    Phew, no more ideas into thatissue.

    Have you tried contacting and asking some experts, maybe even C. Mass (Dr.Dish)?

  15. Hehe.. thankyou sir, I guess I have to study further every equipment included on the system. And hope that there a setting for this....
