[SBE] SAP Audio

[Jim Bernier]

Good day, Jonathan,

I'm not sure what specifics your looking for.  You've pretty much identified
the technical requirements.

You need a Secondary Audio source.

You'll need an audio channel/subcarrier for it, just as you have separate
left and right audio channels.

And you'll need to notify your affiliates where to find that secondary audio
channel/subcarrier.

The affiliates will need to modify their end to distribute the secondary
audio to the consumer.  That methodology may vary depending on their system.

What other questions do you have?

Jim Bernier, CPBE, CBNT

Good Day All!

I have been asked about adding SAP audio to our feed.
We are a Regional Sports Network with no OTA, and all distribution via
Satellite.

Could some of you enlighten me on how SAP is achieved, from a technical
perspective?

I know you need another audio source.

I know you need another audio path (we have channel 4 of our Sat path
available).

And I assume our cable and DBS affiliates need to add equipment on their
end.

But I am looking for some specifics.

Any advice would be great.

Thank you in advance.

'73s.
