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.
The TDX-480 R81621 unit is dedicated for receiving FTA satellite channels. In the case of encrypted channels, the suitable model is TDX-420C R81619.
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)
The R81621 units can be mounted on the R82538 or R82539 DIN rail (also in a RACK cabinet) and powered from DR-60-12 R82532 or UP413 R82533 power supply.
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)
