Digital headends distributing satellite channels converted to DVB-T COFDM form have become popular solutions in hotels. TERRA system has been designed for building TV distribution installations providing signals to standard televisions with built-in DVB-T tuners and allowing reception of terrestrial (DVB-T) and satellite (DVB-S/S2) channels ...

Details
Terra TDX-481 R81621 DVB-S/S2 to DVB-T transmodulator is used for reception of FTA DVB-S/S2 (8PSK/QPSK) signals, selection of desired channels and retransmission of them in COFDM format in chosen RF channels in VHF/UHF frequency range. The device allows the user to receive and manage a range of free to air satellite channels. One TDX-480 R81621 panel can receive channels from eight satellite transponders and convert them into two groups of four neighboring DVB-T multiplexes with maximum throughput of 31.66 Mbps (no PID filtering). In practice, each of the eight multiplexes can carry 6 SD channels or 2-3 HD channels. The administrator of the system selects the required channels from the satellite streams and forms eight DVB-T multiplexes. Remultiplexing the streams, it is neceeesary to remember about 10% safety margin when determining the maximum bit rate for the whole multiplex (typically the ultimate bit rate of a multiplex should not exceed 29 Mbps). The output DVB-T COFDM multiplexes are usually distributed to users by a passive network composed of RF splitters/taps. Such a solution is especially convenient in modern hotel TV systems distributing a variety of satellite channels, including HD broadcasts.
Thanks to RJ-45 Ethernet port, the programming of the TDX-481 R81621 panel is performed via a web browser.
A great advantage of the Terra device is easy integration with other components:
- dSCR/Unicablemultiswitches, which enable independent distribution of DVB-S/S2 signal using one cable
- streamers IPTV - enable distribution and management of satellite, terrestrial and DVB cable TV offerings via Ethernet (LAN) based on a twisted-pair cable
- optical transmitters - transmit television signals using fibre-optic medium
- devices dedicated to reception and processing of television signals (channel and broadband amplifiers, analogue and digital modulators)
Key features:
- conversion of DVB-S/S2 signals from eight satellite transponders into 8 DVB-T COFDM multiplexes
- TDX-480 creates two independent groups of four adjacent DVB-T multiplexes (8 DVB-T MUXes, each with a maximum capacity of 31.66 Mbit/s)
- built-in remultiplexer - creates DVB-T multiplexes with any programme content
- channel selection and filtering of unnecessary services in the digital stream
- simple control interface via RJ-45 port, which greatly simplifies the installation procedure
- Internet management
- reading the history of events (logs) from the panel
- AGC function (automatic gain control)

The TDX-481 R81621 transmodulator creates two independent groups of four neighboring DVB-T multiplexes. With these parameters, the maximum bandwidth of each of the eight DVB-T multiplexes is 31.66 Mbps, in compliance with the DVB-T standard.
An example of SMATV system. Thanks the application of the SRM-522 R80522 multiswitch, the system can distribute satellite channels selected from the whole Ku band (11.7 ... 12.75 GHz).
