Satellite Delivery Systems

Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC)

Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) is a dependable satellite delivery system that was pioneered by NPR Distribution. SCPC includes many features such as audio, compressed video, and data capability as well as both digital and analog signals. Clients are able to uplink from anywhere in the US, providing greater flexibility, and manage the network from a single location. SCPC is advantageous because of the dedicated space segment a single channel provides.

Multiple Channels Per Carrier (MCPC)

Multiple Channels Per Carrier (MCPC) is a delivery technology that places multiple channels on a single satellite carrier. Clients who have MCPC networks can specify the bandwidth they need, providing more flexibility for their programs and channels. Stations and networks that use MCPC also save money by using just one carrier rather than multiple receivers.
