(Translation)

Sat Krak 2008 was exceptionally interesting. It focused on the newest receiving technology and broadcasting industry in the biggest television market in Central and Eastern Europe, which is Poland. Among the exhibitors there were leading manufacturers and distributors of receiving equipment from Poland and abroad, and all operators of digital platforms.

The common opinion was that digital terrestrial television is still a small niche of the market, and the mainstream distribution of digital programs sticks to satellite technology.

There is no doubt that the most important and popular solution for SMATV systems is multiswitch installation. It will be preferred by customers next year, too. DIPOL goes a step further - due to the highest quality of the offered equipment it can move beyond standards and provide multiswitch systems for hundreds of subscribers, still based on single master antennas/dishes.

Another solution for distributing satellite broadcasts - headend - has also achieved a new functionality, not available in the market before. TERRA headend, recognized as the "Best Product of the Year", enables the operator to manage the system in a new way. After installing the headend, the setup of the device can be performed via the Internet. The operator can remotely control the headend, configure the channels, change the set of received programs, or even upgrade the software. It saves a lot of time and allows to operate a large and flexible distribution network with unprecedented ease.

It was the guideline of DIPOL exposition at SatKrak 2008 trade fair (October 16-18, Krakow, Poland). The idea for designing and implementing structural cabling combines all modern services needed by the residents of modern homes. The solutions are suitable both for one-family and multi-family houses.
We showed 3 categories of products:


  • Headend - distribution of satellite channels
  • TERRA multiswitches and software for installers (SatNet)
  • TRISET, CAMSET, NETSET - transmission cables of highest quality
Digital modular headend TERRA


Compact headend solution MMH-3000 for reception of DVB-S and DVB-T programs for analog redistribution in SMATV and small CATV networks, e.g. in hotels, boarding houses, multi-family houses, housing developments. Thanks to vestigial side band modulators it allows to utilize adjacent channels. The base unit of the MMH-3000 headend can be installed in a standard 19" rack.

TERRA multiswitches supported by the software for network design:

TERRA multiswitches allow to build systems up to 200 outlets. More on multiswitch systems here.
SatNet software:

SatNet 1.0 is a comprehensive software pack for designing SMATV systems based on TERRA multiswitches. It saves a lot of time of the installer - typically instead of 12 hours needed for designing a system with 150 outlets, the calculations with this application take only ca 2 hours. SatNet enables the installer to perform a series of simulations that allow to optimize the design.
The participants of the accompanying courses were given the SatNet program for free.
The software enables the installer to perform calculations for every single outlet. The program takes into account satellite signal parameters in a specific location, kind of LNB, dish size, kind of cables, kind of multiswitches. The results are available in the form of charts, within the whole band, for each outlet.
