EBU represents 71 active members in 52 countries of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and 45 associate members in 28 other countries.

It has two types of mission as a grouping of companies of radio and television transmission: a role of representation and standardization for its members and a provision of technical tools.

In this last context, EBU has chains of emission and reception by satellite making it possible to any member to have connection on request.
For this purpose, Eurovision provides to each member the equipment of transmission and reception towards the satellite which transmit MPEG2 images.

Within the framework of the parameterization and remote control of the chains of emission and reception, EBU had a software which made it possible to control only the equipments of a single supplier.
Wanting to release itself from the exclusiveness in this supplier and wishing to largely evolve the functionalities of this software, Eurovision asked Macq Electronic the realization of a new version called DREAMS 2.

DREAMS 2 is able to deal with great number of equipments (coders, decoders, receivers, converters, modulators, IRD, etc) and various marks.

In addition to this software and at the request of EBU, Macq Electronique also provided the servers as well as the forwarding to the members and the support.
The material was selected and made in direct collaboration with the customer by taking account of the heteroclite characteristics of the sites to equip.
