Description
The Satellite Input Module 2070V allows monitoring and analysis of QPSK signals found in DVB-S and DVB-S2 satellite transponders. The system monitors both analog carrier signal quality and the quality of the MPEG video content, providing complete visibility.
This unit is specifically designed for BV-1200 or BV-2000. A single platform can accommodate one verifier and one or two BV-2070V.
For example, a platform with one IP-enabled BV-1200 and two BV-2070V Input Modules provides real-time monitoring and alarming for two QPSK RF inputs, ten IP MPTS/SPTS multicasts and one asynchronous serial interface (ASI) transport stream (TS) input.
ETSI TR 101 290 analysis is performed in parallel for QPSK inputs, the ASI input and the IP input. If the BV-2000 is used as a master card and the IP monitoring capacity is increased to an impressive 260 MPTS/SPTS multicasts.
The combined unit is ideal for hybrid networks where IP is used as a carrier from head-end to the satellite uplink station. The built-in round-robin functionality allows sequential analysis of multiple QPSK multiplexes, making it possible to monitor a complete transponder using a single BV-2070V.
By running in sweep mode the BV-2070V is further capable of measuring analog signal levels, providing a basic frequency analyzer function at the deployment location.
Additional features
- Configurable round-robin transponder testing
- Fully controlled via backplane by BV-1200 or BV-2000
- Built-in general purpose alarm relay (GPI)
- Two ASI output for ad-hoc ASI connections—75 ohm BNC
