(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
POPERINGE, Belgium, April 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sky partners with Unitron
for new home entertainment system, Sky Q UnitronGroup today announces it has
partnered with Sky to create a new line of digital Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU)
products for Sky's new home entertainment system, Sky Q. With the Unitron dSCR
family of Outdoor Unit (ODU) Multiswitch products, Sky Q can be easily deployed
to Sky's hospitality customers, as well as customers living in flats.
Sky Q is Sky's next generation home entertainment service, which will open up a
whole new way of watching TV. Available in early 2016, Sky Q is a family of
advanced products, connecting wirelessly to create a new ecosystem that makes it
easier than ever for customers to access all their favorite TV, and brings an
even wider range of entertainment to the big screen.
Sky Q will allow customers to watch on up to five screen simultaneously, while
recording four other channels, pause on one screen and carry on viewing on
another, watch shows from their box, whether live, recorded or on demand,
anywhere around the home, and for the first time, to take their recordings with
them on their tablet.
Unitron dSCR-54, dSCR-58, and dSCR-516 digital single cable ODU products allow
the Sky Q set top boxes to receive all available content via an existing single
cable run from the main satellite dish trunk system. In addition to supporting
the new Sky Q system the dSCR products support backwards compatibility to older
Sky boxes and industry communication standards EN50494 and EN50607.
"Our new dSCR family is a winning solution for Sky to enable their
groundbreaking new home entertainment system, Sky Q, for those customers
residing in MDU residencies. As industry leaders of analog single cable systems
we are continuing to lead with next generation versions." said co CEO's
Elisabeth and Philippe Lamaire.
"We are pleased that Unitron has delivered to meet our new Sky Q system needs
with their dSCR Multiswitch products. Our partnership will mean that even more
Sky customers can take advantage of all that Sky Q has to offer," said Andrew
Olson, Director of New Products at Sky.
Sky Q will be available in the UK and Ireland in early 2016 joining Sky's
existing line-up of TV products, including the UK's most popular PVR Sky+. The
Unitron dSCR product is Ultra HD ready in advance of Sky launching the UK's most
comprehensive Ultra High Definition service later in 2016.
