Method and system for monitoring and displaying signals corresponding to a transponder of a satellite in a satellite communication system
View Patent ↗A method and system for monitoring signals corresponding to a satellite having a first transponder generating a first plurality of channel signals, a plurality of integrated receiver decoders receiving the first plurality of signals and generating a first plurality of received channel signals corresponding to the first plurality of channel signals and a monitoring system displaying all of the first plurality of received channel signals corresponding to the first transponder.
1. A method comprising:
generating a selection signal at a broadcast control operator of a monitoring system for selecting a satellite in a satellite orbital slot and a transponder from the orbital slot;
routing the selection signal to a wall multi-viewer;
controlling the wall multi-viewer in response to the selection signal;
tuning a plurality of integrated receiver decoders to receive channel signals from the transponder and communicating the channel signals to the wall multi-viewer; and
controlling a plurality of displays in a transponder wall view for simultaneously displaying at least a plurality of the channel signals from the plurality of integrated receiver decoders using the wall multi-viewer.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising displaying every channel signal corresponding to the transponder.
3. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the channel signals comprise digital television channels.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the channel signals comprise high definition digital television channels.
