  • Euro1080 was the first commercial broadcaster in Europe to broadcast full-time high-definition television (HDTV) content. It was founded by Gabriel Fehervari in 2004 and is owned by Alfacam, of which declared bankrupt in 2013. The name originates from the 1080 lines of vertical resolution in the signal broadcast, which is 1080i50 - 1920 x 1080 at an interlaced frame rate of 50 Hz. The signal uses Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. The headquarters and studios are located in Belgium at the Eurocam Media Center. The parent company of Euro1080 is the Belgium-based Alfacam Group. Euro1080 began broadcasting on 1 January 2004 from the Astra 1H satellite at 19.2° east and was free to air during its first few months. Thereafter, a €200 conditional access card was required to watch the flagship channel HD1. In addition to HD1, whose content is primarily HDTV showcasing for regular users, a second channel was soon created, HD2 focusing on live and recorded HDTV broadcasts of special event for selected theatres. Euro1080 currently broadcasts HD1 and HD3 on the following satellite: * Eutelsat W3A at 7°E, 10.880 MHz, DVB-S2, QPSK, Symbol rate 13.333 Mbit/s, Vertical, FEC 4/5, MPEG4. It is also possible to receive it from a growing number of cable operators. Two channels have been temporarily removed recently: * HD2 (previously HDevents or Hde): broadcasts premium events in pay-per-view. * HD5 (timesharing with HD2): promotional channel, broadcasting a six-minute informative video about HDTV and what Euro1080 is, as well a brief glimpse of the previous day's footage. A new channel was launched in 2008: * HD3: Culture with music. (HD1 then became a sports channel.) In October 2005, HD1 and HD2 simulcast in both MPEG-4 and MPEG-2. This dual encoding lasted until 2007. Telenet, the main cable operator in Flanders, confirmed as part of its launch announcement of "Telenet Digital TV" on 16 June 2005 that it would sell HDTV set-top-boxes from June 2006. Since July 2005, the cable operator Integan has broadcast HDTV in the outskirts of the city of Antwerp, in partnership with Euro1080. On 1 October 2006 Euro1080 started a new digital culture channel named EXQI. The first target audience was the Flemish and Dutch market, but the channel has expansion plans to more than 10 channels for the major European countries. On 7 January 2007 Euro1080 switched to MPEG-4 AVC for its satellite broadcasts. MPEG-2 broadcasts for HD1 were switched off on 1 January 2008. (en)
  • Euro1080 è stata la prima emittente televisiva commerciale in Europa a trasmettere interamente contenuti televisivi ad alta definizione (HDTV). È stata fondata da Gabriel Fehervari nel 2004 ed è di proprietà di Alfacam. Il nome ha origine dalle 1080 linee di risoluzione verticale nel segnale trasmesso, che è 1080i 50 - 1920x1080 a una frequenza di fotogrammi interlacciata di 50 Hz. Il segnale utilizza il suono Dolby Digital 5.1. La sede e gli studi si trovano in Belgio presso l'Eurocam Media Center. La società madre di Euro1080 è Alfacam Group con sede in Belgio. Euro1080 ha iniziato a trasmettere il 1º gennaio 2004 dal satellite [Astra 1H a 19,2° est ed è stato in onda durante i primi mesi. Successivamente, è stata richiesta una carta di accesso condizionale da € 200 per guardare il canale di punta HD1. Oltre a HD1, il cui contenuto è principalmente HDTV per utenti regolari, è stato presto creato un secondo canale, HD2 incentrato sulle trasmissioni HDTV live e registrate di eventi speciali per teatri selezionati. Euro1080 attualmente trasmette HD1 e HD3 sul seguente satellite: * Eutelsat W3A a 7° E, 10.880 MHz, DVB-S2, QPSK, Symbol rate 13.333 Mbit / s, Verticale, FEC 4/5, MPEG4. È anche possibile riceverlo da un numero crescente di operatori via cavo. Due canali sono stati temporaneamente rimossi di recente: * HD2 (in precedenza HDevents o Hde): trasmette eventi premium in pay-per-view. * HD5 (timesharing con HD2): canale promozionale, che trasmette un video informativo di sei minuti sull'HDTV e su cosa sia Euro1080, oltre a un breve assaggio delle riprese del giorno precedente. Un nuovo canale è stato lanciato nel 2008: * HD3: Cultura con la musica. (HD1 è poi diventato un canale sportivo) Nell'ottobre 2005, HD1 e HD2 hanno trasmesso in simulcast sia MPEG-4 che MPEG-2. Questa doppia codifica è durata fino al 2007. Telenet, il principale operatore via cavo nelle Fiandre, ha confermato come parte del suo annuncio di lancio di "Telenet Digital TV" il 16 giugno 2005, che venderà set-top-box HDTV a partire da giugno 2006. Dal luglio 2005, l'operatore via cavo Integan trasmette HDTV nella periferia della città di Anversa, in collaborazione con Euro1080. Il 1º ottobre 2006, Euro1080 ha avviato un nuovo canale di cultura digitale denominato EXQI. Il primo target di riferimento è stato il mercato fiammingo e olandese, ma il canale ha piani di espansione a più di 10 canali per i principali paesi europei. Il 7 gennaio 2007, Euro1080 è passato a MPEG-4 AVC per le sue trasmissioni satellitari. Le trasmissioni MPEG-2 per HD1 sono state disattivate il 1º gennaio 2008. (it)
  • Euro1080 was het eerste hdtv-mediabedrijf in Europa, maar werd failliet verklaard in 2013. Euro1080 ontstond in de schoot van Alfacam in 2003. Terwijl hdtv in Japan en de USA een hoge vlucht nam in die periode, was in Europa de houding eerder afwachtend. Om enerzijds de evidente leemte op te vangen en om anderzijds een platform aan te bieden waarop de honderden hdtv-producties waaraan Alfacam ondertussen meewerkte, in Europa konden getoond worden, werd beslist om in 2004 met Euro1080 van start te gaan. Het mediabedrijf Euro1080, dat gevestigd was te Lint, startte op 1 januari 2004 met HD1, het eerste hdtv-kanaal in Europa. HD1 is een kanaal met een pan-Europees bereik, zodat het met een satellietontvanger ontvangen kan worden, maar het wordt ook door een aantal Europese kabelmaatschappijen aangeboden via de kabel. In de loop van 2005 gingen HD2 en HD5 de ether in. Aangezien het niet mogelijk was om voor sommige evenementen de pan-Europese uitzendrechten te verwerven maar wel voor specifieke landen in Europa, werd HD2, het focuskanaal, opgericht. Dankzij de decodeerkaart van Euro1080 konden sommige landen er als het ware worden uitgeknipt zodat kijkers in landen waarvoor Euro1080 de rechten had verworven, die speciale uitzendingen toch konden zien. HD5 was het demonstratiekanaal, dat de kijker meer uitleg gaf in verband met Euro1080 en hdtv. HD2 en HD5 deelden dezelfde frequentie. Dit betekende dat wanneer HD2 uitzond, HD5 niet zichtbaar was en omgekeerd. Sinds begin 2006 waren beide kanalen (HD1 en HD2/HD5) te ontvangen via satellietpositie Astra 19,2°O. Het bedrijf had veel ervaring opgedaan in het verwerven van uitzendrechten van topsportevenementen zoals de Olympische Winterspelen van Turijn, het WK voetbal 2006 en Wimbledon 2006. Deze events werden dan live op HD2 getoond en in sommige gevallen zelfs in uitgesteld relais op HD1. Euro1080 verzorgde ook de exploitatie van het cultuurzender EXQI. Op 19 april 2013 werd Euro 1080 door de Antwerpse handelsrechtbank failliet verklaard, samen met Alfacam. (nl)
