TV & SAT TV

One of the criteria for classification of TV systems in hotels is the programming to be distributed. The simplest systems may provide only free-to-air terrestrial TV broadcasts, whereas more advanced solutions will include satellite channels, also some premium ones (pay-TV). The content required by the owner/investor will depend on the categories of prospective hotel guests (foreign and thematic channels etc).

Measurement of DVB-T2 terrestrial television signals and DVB-S/S2 satellite television signals. The technique of measuring DVB-T2 terrestrial digital TV signals is not very different from DVB-T signal measurement.

Fiber optic systems play an increasingly important role in the transmission of TV/SAT signals. They guarantee low signal loss and very high immunity to interference. DIPOL offers new TERRA solution for SMATV systems based on optical fibers.

This article presents the actual measurement results and how to configure the channel amplifier in the implementation of a SMATV system of DVB-T2 terrestrial television for about 70 terminal outlets.

Satellite dishes are one of many important components of an antenna system. This type of antenna provides reception of the signal that is transmitted by telecommunications satellites providing access to hundreds of foreign programs that are broadcast from even the most remote places in the world.

Every DVB-T2 digital terrestrial TV system begins with the antenna. Proper choice is critical to the success of the entire project.

The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) is a REGULATION (EU) No 305/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC (Construction Product Directive). The regulation classifies construction products and lays down the rules regarding testing of said products and is aimed at ensuring reliable information on construction products in terms of their performance characteristics on the EU markets.

Headends distributing satellite programs converted to digital DVB-T COFDM format are still the most popular solution used in many hotels. Satellite channels can be an addition to the terrestrial television programs or be the only part of the package offered.

Home LAN / WLAN system can be used not only for connecting desktops and laptops to the Internet but also for providing access to shared memory (NAS), printers, scanners as well as may be the source of content displayed on TV screens and the basis of home CCTV monitoring.

Signal HD converters of HDMI (or VGA) to IP interface allow users to transmit and distribute high-resolution (HD) signals via computer IP networks to HD-enabled televisions/monitors (with HDMI or VGA inputs). They also enable users to control the source devices from the remote locations of the televisions/monitors through the original remote controls or, where applicable, through USB devices (mouse and/or keyboard – e.g. in the case of STBs and NVRs).
