Once again we are introducing satellite signal analyzers in this issue of TELE-satellite. Each device is wonderfully designed and full of features that we wouldnt have thought possible just a few years ago. Nevertheless, they are compact and affordable. Why is the signal analyzer market taking off like this all of a sudden? Obviously theres a demand for these analyzers otherwise so many of them wouldnt be available. Another reason is that today its possible to manufacture signal analyzers in smaller numbers for a niche market like satellite installers. And wouldnt you know, this niche market mushroom clouds into an exceptionally large market since today almost every satellite TV viewer has their own signal analyzer. If you can provide an attractive product at an attractive price to a niche segment, it will eventually transform into a market. Are there additional niches in the signal analyzer market or has it gone as far as it can? I personally would like to use a signal analyzer that in addition to showing me all the satellite channel frequencies, terrestrial digital transponders and cable specific parameters would also show me the WLAN frequencies. The latter is already available and TELE-satellite has already reported on this. But what about mobile telephone frequencies? When will a signal analyzer be able to measure the receivable frequency range, what the field strength is and how high the data transfer rate could be? More and more people dont even use a hard-wired telephone anymore; they prefer instead to use their mobile telephones. Up until now, IPTV was meant to be used with fixed DSL connections, but for me it doesnt look like this will be the future considering the consistently increasing number of people who are watching TV via tablet and i-pad computers. I believe that at some point Internet TV will be receivable via mobile frequencies and I dont mean mobile TV like DVB-H, rather IPTV or WebTV via mobile Internet links. That the technology to transmit TV channels is continuously expanding to include different paths, its becoming clear that a universal TV signal analyzer that truly covers every possible range would be a new market segment. For those who sell and install reception systems for customers, the signal analyzer is the tool used to identify what can and cannot be received at a customer site. The signal analyzer market is not by any means exhausted, rather, it expands automatically whenever a new frequency range is used to transmit TV channels. If you want to keep up to speed on whats going on, youll need a corresponding signal analyzer.

A aba do lado direito esconde uma porta USB e uma ranhura para um simples carto inteligente que capaz de ler uma variedade de cartes at aceitou o meu carto Sky Digital que permitiu ver todos os meus canais por assinatura, excepto aqueles que so ligadas a um receptor individual. Isto foi uma grande surpresa. A slot do carto apenas a opo de acesso condicional: no tem local para adicionar uma CAM. Na parte detrs temos, uma entrada e loop-through da antena para o nico sintonizador. As opes de vdeo esto limitadas ao HDMI, Scart ou vdeo composto, embora existam sadas de udio estreo e S/PDIF.

ceptor no demora tanto quanto se poderia esperar de um receptor baseado em Linux, tendo demorado cerca de 45 segundos a ligar o interruptor e obter uma imagem no ecr. Isto uma das surpresas que vm no X-9100, utiliza uma verso bem mais pequena, verso com Linux bem implementado em relao a outras verses mais complexas que temos visto no passado. Podem estar menos preocupados aqueles que poderiam sentir-se desconfortveis com a configurao do receptor com sistema Linux. O sistema de menus e opes deixou de ser complicado do que em casos de um receptor padro. USALS suportado para permitir uma configurao facilitada de um motor DiSEqC, com a vantagem adicional de j ter programado algumas grandes cidades na memria do receptor. Tem includo uma vasta gama de configuraes para o LNB, e como o receptor de origem Turca, at tem includo configuraes especiais para o DIGITURK. Se nenhuma delas se adequar ao seu sistema de frequncias do LNB tambm pode especificar manualmente. O DiSEqC suportado pela verso 1.0 at 1.3 para garantir
06-07/201 1
Inpax X-9100 Linux PVR Uma caixa preta competente de boaaparncia com uma gama completa de funes
que seja suportado qualquer tipo de motor ou instalao de comutao. Os 71 satlites volta do planeta esto pr-programados no receptor e podem ser editados e excludos conforme necessrio. Os novos satlites podem ser acrescentados conforme necessrio, apenas precisa de especificar a posio orbital. Se tiver de montar a sua antena parablica, vai ficar contente de ver includo uma funo com um enorme medidor de sinais no ecr para ajudar a encontrar o melhor sinal. A digitalizao de satlites rpida em comparao com alguns outros receptores baseados em Linux. Est disponvel uma digitalizao rpida para os espectadores do Canal Digitaal, TV Vlaanderen ou UPC Direct do Astra 1. Para os restantes utilizadores, tem uma digitalizao padro que atravessa todo o espectro do satlite em tempo til. Uma varredura total do Astra 2 demorou quatro minutos para procurar canais das 90 frequncias armazenadas. O blind scan uma adio que sempre bem-vinda, porque pode encontrar todas as frequncias que ainda no foram detidas na lista de transponders. Isto funciona um pouco diferente do que em outros receptores que j vimos no passado. Primeiro, o espectro de frequncias digitalizado, acrescentando as frequncias que encontrou na lista de transponders armazenados. A seguir, a verificao normal d o seu pontap inicial, fazendo a digitalizao das novas frequncias juntamente com as que j esto armazenadas. Isto adiciona algum tempo para o processo de digitalizao, demorou 2,5 minutos para localizar e adicionar oito transponders na lista, e seguidamente outros 4:15 para digitalizar tudo. O blind scan no o ideal para caar frequncias no entanto como no tem a possibilidade de digitalizar uma parte da faixa de frequncia. Podemos aceder aos ca-
nais a partir de uma lista de canais semelhantes aos da maioria de outros receptores. Os botes de seta para a direita e para a esquerda so utilizadas para filtrar entre a lista FTA, HD e canais codificados, para alm disso tem obviamente a opo de mostrar tudo. O boto vermelho pode ser usado para filtrar a lista, limitando ainda os satlites apresentados na lista. Tambm est disponvel uma funo de A-Z, filtrando a lista pela primeira letra do nome do canal, mas no classific-la mais longe do que isso - Azerbaijo TV continuar aparecer frente de Aastha TV, se for esta a sua ordem na lista padro eu achei isto um pouco confuso. Os botes especiais para subir ou descer pgina atravs do comando ajudam a acelerar a navegao e outras listas atravs dos menus. O prprio controlo remoto est personalizado, parece um modelo genrico, no tem o boto de ajuda para pressionar e repetir a sua aco anterior, uma funo que esperamos sempre encontrar. Uma outra peculiaridade muito estranha a ordem dos botes de funo terem uma cor diferente da sequncia normal vermelho-verde-amarelo-azul. Nem sabia que essa ordem tinha ficado na memria com o uso e teste de vrios receptores ao longo dos anos, mas provou que estava a pressionar o boto azul quando eu pensava que estava vrias vezes a pressionar o boto verde. O controlo remoto bastante simples, e no tem botes para seleccionar a proporo correcta, ou resoluo do ecr, mas estas opes podem ser encontradas dentro dos menus de configurao do receptor. Podemos encontrar aqui a
maioria das opes importantes, inclusive a opo de escolha entre RGB ou CVBS da porta Scart. Para aceder a esta opo seleccione o modo HDMI 5761 e utilize os botes de volume para cima ou para baixo para alternar entre RGB e CVBS. Existe uma caracterstica especial nos menus e por isso devemos felicitar a Inpax. Existe uma opo para memorizar individualmente o volume de som para cada canal. Isto a resposta perfeita para esta situao que bastante comum quando mudamos o canal a partir de um com o som normal para um canal daqueles que tem o som to alto que os seus vizinhos devem ter vontade de bater sua porta para reclamar. Claro que, se apenas os nveis de udio pudessem ser regulados para evitar esta situao, tal funo no seria necessrio. Mas isso pouco provvel que acontea em breve e muito provavelmente nunca, por isso, devemos: agradecer Inpax por pensar nisso. As funes de edio de canais esto limitadas a excluso, movimentar e renomear. Por exemplo, falta a capacidade, por vezes importante para editar PIDs. Existem oito listas de pr-favoritos. Os seus nomes so bem estranhos, faltando as primeiras letras. Mas isto fcil de corrigir, basta adicionar um novo favorito e dar o nome que voc quiser. O boto FAV amarelo cria uma nova lista de favoritas. Esta pequena caixa no tem espao para um disco rgido no interior, as gravaes devem ser feitas num dispositivo USB que ligamos atravs do painel frontal. As gravaes podem ser iniciadas directamente a partir do controlo remoto ou de um evento do temporizador que pode ser feito manualmente
19
ou a partir do EPG. O EPG do 9100 bastante til, e pode ser alternado entre verso de um ou sete dias. um pouco estranho na medida em que a tabela de exibio apenas preenche um quarto do ecr, por isso no o muito fcil de ver o que est programado para dentro de uma hora ou duas. O temporizador evento tambm est personalizado, com algumas opes, incluindo a repetio de segunda a sexta e apenas fins-de-semana. O receptor
1. Blind scan 2. Lista de canais 3. EPG 4. Edio de Favoritos 5. Navegador de arquivos 6. cliente de FTP 7. multi Imagem-na-imagem 8. Reproduo de programa gravado
pode ser definido para gravar ou apenas mudar para o canal seleccionado no momento desejado, e tambm tem uma opo para desligar o receptor assim que a gravao estiver concluda. Enquanto a gravao estiver em andamento, a lista de canais fica restrita apenas para os canais de transponder idntico ao canal que estamos a gravar por isso no tem hiptese do receptor perder as gravaes ou perder o sinal. Realmente pouco importante saber que o manual alerta que teoricamente para o limite do tamanho do disco rgido ser teoricamente de quatro parties num total de 2 terabytes (eu acho que at posso ter problemas para encher o disco), no recomendado o uso de parties maiores
que 120 gigabytes. A Gravao e reproduo funcionam perfeitamente, no verificamos problemas at mesmo durante a gravao de canais em HD para um stick USB. A minha experincia com receptores Linux no era das melhores. Recordo perfeitamente que algumas gravaes importantes do temporizador nunca comeavam porque o receptor bloqueava horas antes, exibindo um alerta equivalente ampulheta do Windows e uma imagem congelada do ltimo canal recebido. Apesar dos meus melhores esforos para tentar baralhar e bloquear a caixinha, no fui capaz de bloquear, at mesmo durante a gravao. Porque as gravaes so armazenadas num dispositivo USB fcil aceder atravs de um computador. Aqui temos outra caracterstica bem feita pela Inpax - no menu de configuraes temos a escolha de formato de gravao entre arquivos .MPG e .TS, uma opo extra que damos as boas-vindas e que poder ser muito til para quem deseja editar ou arquivar as suas gravaes num DVD ou converter noutros formatos. Apesar da facilidade de conexo com o mundo exterior atravs de Ethernet, no possvel aceder a gravaes via FTP, por isso a nica forma de aceder desconectar o dispositivo USB e ligar a um computador. Tem o cliente FTP disponvel, mas isto funciona apenas numa direco para copiar multimdia numa sada USB para depois reproduzir. Tambm possvel conectar uma partilha SMB (Samba) da mesma forma. A variedade de formatos de arquivo que pode reproduzir impressionante, e no teve problema de ler a maior parte dos arquivos exemplo que tentei reproduzir. A lista inclui AVI, MPG, VOB, FLV, MP4, MKB, 3GP e ASF, isto abrange a maior parte deles. bom ver que a listas de canais so guardadas em formato SatcoDX

Quando funciona, realmente muito bom, e manteve uma ligao sem problemas do meu local na 12 Inglaterra para um canal Australiano durante toda a noite. Recebi vrias mensagens de servidor ocupado, mas quando conseguia apanhar recebia com uma qualidade de som muito boa e algumas estaes acompanhavam com o nome dos artistas e ttulos das msicas. Para percorrer a lista enorme de estaes de rdio uma verdadeira dor de cabea, porque cada pgina da Heaven (A Rede Mundial lista recuperada a partir da Polca) para a estao AmaInternet quando solicitada. teur Repeater W6NUT. Eu Depois de ficar bastanquestiono se ainda a rdio te tempo na lista alfabtica Hams na Califrnia poder desisti e ainda estava na leimaginar que esto a ser outra A, mas pelo menos aqui vidos num receptor de sattambm podemos ter uma lite em todo o mundo atralista de favoritos. Isto ser vs da Internet? E chegarei inestimvel quando eu quiat ao final da lista, para ser voltar para a mistura saber se Z100 de Nova York esotrica de estaes que j est disponvel? encontrei, desde 247 Polka
Sai para longe do ritmo hipntico Polca para a prxima entrada no menu que tem um leitor Youtube. Isto tambm funciona muito bem, e a qualidade do vdeo suficientemente boa para vermos na televiso. Um grande nmero de pr-configuraes d acesso aos vdeos de comdia, msica, notcias e desporto mais populares
de momento e assim por adiante. A pesquisa tambm est disponvel e abre acesso em sua casa para todo o mundo estranho e selvagem do Youtube para ver no seu televisor. realmente uma boa adio e o vdeo reproduz muito mais suave do que no meu computador antigo e sobrecarregado.A ltima entrada no menu um conjunto de aplicativos de internet que no est mencionado no manual: Filmes Extra. Tenho a certeza que a maioria de ns diria sim, por favor para alguns filmes extra, mas este menu est protegido por uma senha, mas estamos aqui para explicar a todos vocs como podem aceder aos Filmes Extra: Atravs das configuraes IP no menu de configuraes, pressione o boto verde que fecha o DHCP e por sua vez pede o DNS1. Digite 208.67.222.222 e guarde pressionando o boto vermelho. Seguidamente aparece o DNS2, digite o mesmo IP 208.67.222.222 novamente e guarde pressionando o boto vermelho. Neste momento o receptor tem de ser reiniciado desligando o receptor e voltando a ligar. Vai novamente para Filmes Extra e agora digita a senha 9-8-7-6. Voila, j funciona. possvel usar telnet para entrar no receptor, isto revela o rpido comando do sistema BusyBox, como o que utilizado pela Amazon Kindle e outros aparelhos. BusyBox d acesso a alguns comandos bsicos do Linux, que por conta prpria so, provavelmente, de pouco ou nada usados pelo utilizador comum, mas podemos pelo menos ser intrometidos e ver o que est contido na memria interna. Da mesma forma, conectando com um
navegador Web apresenta uma interface com o sistema operacional Linux embutido com muita informao debugging. Na realidade aqui tambm no vemos realmente nada de uso, mas os fs do Linux podem encontrar informaes interessantes. No ficou claro ser ou no possvel adicionar o software dentro da mquina para permitir maior funcionalidade e no temos pistas atravs do receptor ou de seu manual. A X-9100 um receptor baseado em Linux diferente da maioria dos receptores que vimos no passado. Para alguns, isto poderia ser uma decepo, uma vez que se sente mais vontade para
usar um receptor convencional do que grande parte das distribuies Linux como o Enigma2. Porm este, bem mais atraente para aqueles que querem ver televiso com menos preocupaes ou ameaa de alguma coisa no funcionar to bem quanto poderia. A conexo para a Internet to fcil como ligar um cabo Ethernet se tiver DHCP disponvel no seu roteador, e as funes extra do Youtube e o leitor de rdios da Internet realmente til. Se a interface de rdio na Internet pode-se ser um pouco melhor seria por si s um caminho perfeito, fcil de aceder a milhares de estaes de boa qualidade. O que gostamos mais nes-
te receptor a confiana que ele nos d. Est acabar o meu medo de perder as gravaes a partir de experincias anteriores com receptores Linux. Apesar de ter testado o receptor para esta revista no me decepcionou, e isto que a maioria das pessoas quer e precisam: um receptor que faz tudo o que diz que vai fazer e no falha nos momentos mais importantes. Existem algumas pequenas peculiaridades e crticas, como eu j mencionei, muitas das quais podem ser abordadas em futuras actualizaes de software. impossvel no gostar desta pequena caixa preta e ficar impressionado com a completa gama de
Configuraes de udio podem ser armazenados para cada canal individual. Aceita via USB discos rgidos muito grandes. O software funciona extremamente estvel. PVR permite armazenar em formato .TS. Excelente lista de formatos de arquivo para reproduo.

Hailing from Istanbul, Turkey, the X-9100 PVR from INPAX is quite a surprise. The little black box measures just 26cm across, 19cm deep and 4cm high and comes in a stylish shiny black case with a minimalist appearance. There are just three buttons on the front panel: Standby, channel up and channel down. An LED display displays the current channel number, or the clock in standby. A flap on the right-hand side conceals a USB port and a single smart card slot which seems to be able to read a variety of cards it even accepted my Sky Digital card and allowed me to view all my subscription channels except those that are tied to an individual receiver. This was quite a surprise. The card slot is the only conditional access option: there is nowhere to add a CAM. At the back, the antenna input and loop-through serve the single tuner. Video options are limited to HDMI, Scart or composite video, whilst there are stereo audio outputs plus S/ PDIF. For connection to the outside world theres an Ethernet LAN port and an RS232 port. A cold start of the receiver doesnt take as long as might be expected from a Linux-based receiver, taking around 45 seconds from flicking the switch for a picture to appear on screen. This is one of the surprises that come from the X-9100 utilising a much smaller, embedded version of Linux than the more complex versions weve seen in the past. Those who might be daunted at the prospect of setting up a Linux receiver need not worry too much. The options and menu system are no more complicated than those of a standard receiver. USALS is supported to enable easy setup of a DiSEqC motor, with the added bonus of some major cities already being programmed into the receivers memory. A wide range of LNB settings are included, and as the receiver is of Turkish origin, special settings for DIGITURK are even included. If none of them suit your system the LNBs frequencies can also be specified manually. DiSEqC
is supported from version 1.0 to 1.3 to ensure that just about any motor or switching setup will be supported. 71 satellites from around the planet are pre-programmed into the receiver and these can be edited and deleted as required. New satellites can be added as required by simply specifying the orbital position. If you are setting your own dish up, youll be pleased to see the inclusion of a large on-screen signal meter function to help you find a good signal.
Scanning satellites is fast compared to some other Linux-based receivers. For viewers of Canal Digitaal, TV Vlaanderen or UPC Direct on ASTRA 1, a special fast scan function is available. For the rest of us, a standard scan zips across the satellite spectrum in good time. A scan across Astra 2 took four minutes to scan the 90 stored frequencies. A very welcome addition is a blind scan option, so that any frequencies not already held in the transponder list can be found. This works a little differently than others weve seen in the past. First, the entire frequency spectrum is scanned, adding any newly-found frequencies to the stored transponder list. After this, the regular scan kicks in, scanning the new frequencies alongside those previously stored. This adds some time to the scanning process, 2,5 minutes were taken to find and add an extra eight transponders to the list, then another 4:15 to scan them all. The blind scan isnt ideal for feedhunting however, as there is no ability to scan a portion of the frequency band. Channels are accessed from a channel list similar to those on most other receiv-
ers. The left and right buttons are used to filter the list between FTA-only, HD and encrypted channels, plus of course there is the option to display everything. The red button can be used to filter the list further by limiting the satellites shown in the list. An A-Z function is also available, which filters the list by the first letter of the channel name, but doesnt sort it further than this so Azerbaijan TV would still appear ahead of Aastha TV if this was their order in the default list this I found just a little confusing. Dedicated page up and down buttons on the remote help to speed navigation of this and other lists around the menus. The remote itself is a standard, generic feeling model, not helped by the occasional occurrence of the pressed button repeating your previous action rather than the one you were expecting. Another rather strange quirk is that the order of the coloured function buttons is different from the normal red-green-yellowblue sequence. I didnt even know that this order has been burned into my brain from the use and testing of so many receivers over the years, but I proved that it
is by pressing blue when I thought I was pressing green several times. The remote is kept simple, and there are no buttons for selecting the correct aspect ratio, or screen resolution, but these options can be found inside the receivers settings menus. Most important options are found here, with just a few omissions for example I could not find anywhere to select between RGB or CVBS from the Scart port, even though both options are listed in the receiver manuals specifications list. There is one special feature in the menus where Inpax must however be congratulated. An option exists to store the sound volume setting for each channel individually. This is the perfect answer to that all-too-common situation of changing channel from an overly quiet one to one of those that has the sound cranked up so loud that your neighbours will be banging on the wall within no time. Of course, if only audio levels could be regulated to avoid this situation, such a function wouldnt be needed. But that is unlikely to happen anytime soon and very likely never, so in the
meantime: thank you Inpax for thinking of this. The channel editing functions are limited to deletion, moving, and renaming. The sometimes important ability to edit PIDs is missing, for example. There are eight preset favourites lists, whose names dont appear to be editable. Their names are quite strange, with the first few letters missing. At first it looked like this was an oversight in the menu design, with the icons that match the colour buttons obscuring the first part of the name. But no, even when the FAV button is used to give a channel list of just the individual favourites lists, they are the same! So, as they are not editable, get used to choosing between the lists with names such as ies, ws, ildrens, ucation, lture, and cial (thats supposed to be Social, if you didnt guess). There is no room inside the tiny case for a hard drive, recordings have to be made onto a USB device plugged into the front socket. Recordings can be started directly from the remotes record button or from a timer event that can be set manually or from the EPG.

O medidor Gifted
Algo mais Que um simples localizador de Sinais por satlite

tem um teclado de membrana simples composto por apenas 12 botes. Isto promete uma operao simples e, vai ficar a saber depois de ler este relatrio, realmente cumprem aquilo que prometem. O LED indica o status do medidor de sinais. Tem dois conectores F localizados em lados opostos: a entrada do LNB e a sada loop-through para o receptor de satlite. So poucos os medidores de sinais que esto equipados com esta sada loop-through e muitas das vezes perdemos esta caracterstica quando testamos produtos concorrentes. Uma anlise mais atenta revela que, ambos dos lados do medidor de sinais tm abas que tapam os conectores adicionais. Uma porta USB para cpia de segurana de configuraes do medidor de sinais, bem como para carregar o aparelho com actualizaes de firmware. Tem uma ficha de alimentao que aceita um cabo de uma fonte de alimentao de uma tomada de parede ou um carregador de isqueiro do carro - esto ambos includos com o medidor de sinais. E, algo inesperado, vem com uma sada A/V de vdeo composto e udio mono. Tambm tem uma funo adicional - pode agir como uma interface serial RS-232. Bastante incomum, mas no se preocupe tambm esto includos cabos A/V e RS-232 adequados. Est previsto existir outras entradas/sadas (Ethernet e HDMI), sob a aba do lado oposto do DSM Gifted. No entanto, isso no est instalado no modelo. Brevemente publicaremos um relatrio so-
8d tek DSm Um pequeno Gifted sinais de TV medidor de caracterstica muito til com s de alta-qua lidade
O seu design externo desperta o interesse por ser atraente. Quem disse que os medidores de sinais devem ter um aspecto aborrecido? O painel de fundo do DSM Gifted ligeiramente convexo fazendo com que esta caixa apresente um aspecto intrigante. Tem dois ecrs: um ecr LCD grfico a cores e um ecr LED clssico com 2-dgitos e 7-segmentos - isto tambm algo incomum. Vem com uma bolsa bastante prtica de proteco com uma fita em velcro que pode ser colocada no seu pulso, permitindo transportar o medidor de sinais como um relgio de pulso. Definitivamente, que a 8D Tecnology com este 8dtek DSM Gifted demonstra que so pessoas inovadoras. Assim que olhamos pela primeira vez reparamos que
bre outro modelo DSM mais avanado que est equipado com uma porta Ethernet. Vale a pena continuar a ler a TELE-satlite! De qualquer forma, impressionante como muitas interfaces foram incorporadas numa caixa to pequena. O boto on/ off est montado na parte final do lado superior da caixa onde o medidor de sinais tem uma srie de comandos. Assim que ligamos o DSM Gifted podemos ver o menu principal. O menu composto por seis itens: Sat Find, DiSEqC, Local Sat, Spectrum, ngulo e configuraes. Existe apenas um campo no menu para que a navegao seja bastante simples. O menu, OK e as teclas de direco permite efectuar as configuraes principais. Eventualmente, tambm poder usar os botes de funo F1-F4.
32
A sua funo depende dos itens do menu seleccionado e est sempre descrito na parte inferior do ecr. SPCM e SAT so botes de atalho que leva-nos directamente para a visualizao espectro da frequncia e visualizao dos satlites locais. O Sat Find provavelmente o item de menu mais importante e acessvel a partir do menu principal. Aqui, voc pode configurar: o satlite, frequncias do LNB, transponder, tipo de procura. Na mesma janela, pode obter os resultados das medies: o nvel e a qualidade do sinal, expresso em percentagem e a taxa de erro de bit. A leitura em percentagem da qualidade de sinal tambm aparece no visor LED de dois dgitos. Isto uma ptima ideia, porque os nmeros no ecr LCD so muito pequenos e difceis de ler distncia. Quadno est a virar a antena parablica tambm pode usar a barra de grficos que mostra a fora e qualidade do sinal. Na parte inferior do ecr, encontramos 3 items de ajuda para saber o que os botes de funo permitem fazer quando est neste item do menu.

ponder actual. Isto um recurso bastante til, porque existe em diferentes partes do mundo diferentes transponders do mesmo satlite que estamos a captar. Sendo assim, impossvel criar uma lista comum de transponders para, digamos, Espanha e Rssia. Se no seu local no receber alguns dos dez transponders atribudos a cada satlite de uma lista original elaborada pela 8D Technology pode simplesmente exclu-los e adicionar outros. Alternativamente, pode edit-los, alterando a sua frequncia, symbol rate e polarizao. Chegou o momento de comear a diver35
so: afinal como que o DSM Gifted funciona na prtica? Vamos comear com a medio da qualidade do sinal. Acontece, que o DSM Gifted, assim como um receptor de satlite tpico, no apresentam o resultado da qualidade de sinal em passos de 1%, mas em passos de 6 ou 7%. Se levarmos em conta que resultados inferiores a 53% so praticamente abaixo do limiar de recepo, restam os 8 nveis: 53%, 60%, 66%, 73%, 80%, 86%, 93% e 99%. Sendo assim, para encontrar o mximo ideal quando estiver a virar a antena parablica ou a inclinar o suporte do LNB, apenas vai precisar de encontrar os limites onde a leitura desce 6-7% e seguidamente instala a antena/LNB algures no centro. O DSM Gifted tambm permite verificar o BER. No
36
entanto, como em todos os outros medidores de sinais tambm as leituras BER so instveis, que o que acontece com as transmisses digitais e seus contedos em mudana constante. Mas o DSM Gifted d um passo em frente: tambm pode medir o MER. Isto a melhor leitura que pode ter (taxa de erro de modulao). MER estvel e pode ser medido numa resoluo de 0,1 dB. O nosso modelo para testes ainda no estava equipado com as leituras MER, mas a 8D Tecnology tem um plano para aumentar o DSM Gifted com as medies MER numa das suas prximas actualizaes de firmware. Veja o grfico na Figura 1 com a leitura do aparelho que testamos com a percentagem correlacionada com o MER e os resultados de Loss Margin
de um medidor de sinais profissional e dispendioso. Do ponto de vista prtico de um instalador de satlite: as leituras em percentagem, na forma em que so neste momento implementadas pelo DSM Gifted, permitem-lhe instalar directamente
antenas parablicas convencionais de 60-90 cm de forma simples e com uma preciso aceitvel. Ns no recomendamos o DSM Gifted com o firmware actual para antenas parablicas de 120 centmetros ou mais. E se estiver a lutar pelo ganho de um decibel
Fig. 1. As linhas de tendncia "traduzem" a qualidade de leitura de sinal do DSm Gifted para os resultados mER e Lm. Os resultados reais de 18 transponders de diferentes satlites so exibidos de cor azul e vermelha.
a fim de conseguir apanhar um transponder fraco (como costumam fazer os verdadeiros entusiastas do satlite), este equipamento pode ser utilizado apenas para uma configurao inicial. Em contrapartida, o 8D Technology tem o orgulho de apresentar o nmero de frequncias que est presente no item Sat Find do menu. Aqui podemos ver uma lista impressionante das frequncias do oscilador local (LOFs) que poder seleccionar atravs do DSM Gifted: 5150, 5750, 5950, 9750, 10000, 10050, 10450, 10600, 10700, 10750, 11250, 11300, 5150-5750, 5750-5150, Universal (9750-10600) e SCR (9750-10600). DiSEqC o segundo item do menu. Ficamos impressionados por a 8D Technology ter equipado o DSM Gifteed com DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1, bem como 1.2 e USALS. At tem a funo DiSEqC para deteco automtica! Durante os nossos testes o sistema USALS funcionou sem problemas. Ns viramos a nossa antena parablica por diversas vezes durante o teste ligando o motor a partir deste pequeno medidor de sinais. Isto realmente o que cada instalador vai apreciar. No entanto, quando a bateria ficou finalmente descarregada, o medidor de sinais saiu do menu e desligou-se sem qualquer aviso. No existe no menu de configuraes ou em noutro local um estado de carga da bateria. O fabricante promete que adiciona este recurso numa das prximas actualizaes de firmware. Os itens de menu do Local sat tm um quadro que mostra quais so os satlites que foram localizados e a partir de sua localizao em que posio est no Clarke Belt. O
medidor de sinais que testamos foi elaborado para usar na Alemanha e por estas razes apresenta uma srie de cidades Alems. Assim que seleccionamos a cidade mais prxima de sua localizao, podemos saltar de satlite em satlite atravs dos botes de seta esquerda/direita e visualizar a sua elevao e os valores de azimute. Caso seja necessrio, pode editar os locais e alter-los para que fique mais adequado s suas necessidades. Outros itens do menu - o analisador de espectro - algo que no esperamos encontrar num medidor de sinais to pequeno como DSM Gifted. No entanto, isto no um analisador de sinais totalmente desenvolvido. Primeiro que tudo, ele bastante lento. Evidentemente, que o processador no suficientemente potente para esta funo. Como resultado, no pode usar se pretender ajustar rudemente a sua antena parablica e monitorar se a sua antena comea apanhar um sinal. Em segundo lugar, tem apenas uma captao global. No possvel fazer zoom de uma frequncia especfica. No d para clicar num especfico transponder seleccionado no espectro para poder saber os seus parmetros. Na realidade a utilizao da visualizao espectro para um reconhecimento rpido do satlite que est a ser sintonizado para os instaladores profissionais que fazem instalaes com frequncia, convm recordar como cada espectro de satlite deve ser. O item do menu ngulo um pouco semelhante ao Local Sat mas tem mais informao disponvel. Selecciona o satlite, digita as suas coordenadas e, excepto para
a correcta altitude e azimute, consegue adicionalmente obter o ngulo de inclinao adequado para o LNB. Este ultimo necessrio para a recepo de transponders com polarizao linear. Quanto mais estiver o satlite est fora da direco sul, em sua localizao, mais inclinao vai precisar para aplicar no suporte do LNB. O ltimo menu o Sistema. Aqui pode definir vrios parmetros do medidor de sinais, bem como iniciar a actualizao de software e efectuar uma cpia de segurana num pendrive USB. Na realidade, fizemos um upgrade de software e foi bastante rpido. Isto um processo muito conveniente para actualizar o dispositivo. Se j viu as imagens do ecr que fazem parte deste relatrio, vai provavelmente questionar como estas fotos foram tiradas. Na realidade, no so fotografias tiradas
com uma cmara fotogrfica sobre o ecr do medidor de sinais, estas imagens so capturadas pelo medidor de sinais atravs de uma sada A/V do aparelho. Existe um cabo com conector RCA que pode se conectado num computador porttil com sintonizador de TV e desta forma obter uma imagem de alta qualidade do medidor de sinais. Talvez isto no seja uma caracterstica muito prtica para medir no terreno, mas se tirar medies no interior, uma opo bastante interessante. DSM Gifted uma ferramenta fcil-de-usar e trata-se de um localizador de sinais de satlite concebido de forma inteligente com diversas caractersticas inesperadas que normalmente encontramos em medidores de sinais de custo elevado. Com o firmware actual, bom para instalaes de antenas parablicas de tamanho mdio.

Satellite Signal meter

www.TELE-satellite.com/TELE-satellite-1107/eng/8dtek.pdf
Its interesting external design attracts attention. Who said that meters must look dull? The bottom panel of DSM Gifted is slightly convex what makes the box look intriguing. Two displays: a color graphic LCD and a classical 2-digit 7-segment LED one - this is also something unusual. A quite practical protective bag with a Velcro strip that you can put around your wrist, enables you to carry the meter like a wrist watch. Definitely, 8D Technology demonstrated with 8dtek DSM Gifted that they are innovative guys. What you can notice at first sight is a simple membrane keyboard made up of just 12 buttons. It promises simple operation and, as you will learn after reading this report, this promise is really fulfilled. LED indicators signal meter status. Two F connectors located on the opposite sides are: the LNB input and the looped-through output for a satellite receiver. Not many meters are equipped with such a looped output and sometimes we really missed this feature when testing competitor products. Closer examination reveals that on both sides of the meter there are flaps covering additional connectors. We have a USB port for backing up meters settings, as well as for loading the meter with firmware updates. There is a power supply socket that accepts either a cable from a wall socket power supply or a car lighter charger both are included in the set. And, rather unexpectedly, there is an A/V output with composite video and mono audio output. It has an additional function it can act as an RS-232 serial interface. Quite unusual, but do not worry - suitable A/V and RS-232 cables are also included. There are provisions for the other inputs/outputs (Ethernet and HDMI) under the flap on the opposite side of DSM Gifted. However, they are not installed in this meter model. We will soon publish a report covering another, more advanced, DSM model which is equipped with the Ethernet port. Keep reading
TELE-satellite! Anyway, it is impressive how many interfaces have been embedded in such a tiny box. The on/ off switch mounted on the top side of the box ends the list of meter controls. DSM Gifted, right after switching it on, takes you to the Main menu. The menu consists of 6 items: Sat Find, DiSEqC, Local Sat, Spectrum, Angle and Settings. There is only one menu level so the navigation is pretty simple. Menu, OK and the arrow buttons let you do all the main set-
40
tings. Occasionally, you use function buttons F1-F4. Their function depends on the selected menu items and is always described at the bottom of the screen. SPCM and SAT are the shortcut buttons that take you directly to the frequency spectrum view and local satellites view Sat Find is probably the most important menu item accessible from the main menu. Here, you can set: the satellite, LNB frequencies, transponder, scan type. In the same screen, you get the measurement results: signal level and signal quality expressed in percentages and bit error rate. The signal quality percentage reading is repeated on the two digit LED display. This is a great idea because the figures on the LCD screen are rather small and hard to read from a distance. When turning the dish, you can also refer to the bar graphs showing signal strength and quality. At the bottom of the screen, there are 3 help tips on what the function buttons can do when in this menu item. The red F1 button is used to edit a transponder, the green F2 button to add new transponder
and the yellow F3 to delete the present transponder. This is a quite useful feature because in different regions of the world various transponders of the same satellite are receivable. So, it is impossible to create a common list of transponders for, say, Spain and Russia. If some of the ten transponders assigned to every satellite in the original list prepared by 8D Technology are not receivable in your area, simply delete them and add the other ones. Alternatively, edit them by changing their frequency, symbol rate and polarization. Now lets start the fun: how does DSM Gifted perform in real life? We started with measuring signal quality. It turns out, that DSM Gifted, like in a typical satellite receiver, the quality result does not change in 1 % steps but with 6 or 7 % step. If we take into account that the results lower than 53% are practically below the reception threshold, we are left with 8 levels: 53%, 60%, 66%, 73%, 80%, 86%, 93% and 99%. So to find an ideal maximum when turning a dish or skewing an LNB in its holder, you have to find the limits where the reading drops
down by 6-7% and then set the dish/LNB somewhere in between. DSM Gifted allows you as well to check BER. However, like with all other meters too, the BER readings are unstable, which is how it is with digital transmissions and their ever changing contents. But DSM Gifted goes one step further: you can also measure MER. This is the best measurement one can have (modulation error ratio). MER is stable and can be measured with 0.1 dB resolution. Our test sample was not yet equipped with MER readings, but 8D Technology are planning to enhance DSM Gifted with MER measurements in one of their next firmware upgrades. See the chart in Figure 1 to see how the percentage reading of our test sample was correlated with MER and Loss Margin results measured with an expensive professional meter. From the practical point of view of a satellite installer: the percentage readings, in the form they are implemented now in DSM Gifted, enable you to direct 60-90 cm dishes for popular satellites in a simple way and with acceptable preci-
sion. We would not recommend DSM Gifted with the present firmware for dishes 120 cm or larger. And if you are fighting for a split decibel in order to work a weak transponder (like true satellite enthusiasts often do) this meter can only be used for the initial setup. On the other hand, 8D Technology can really be proud of the number of frequencies they offer in the Sat Find menu item. Here is the impressive list of local oscillator frequencies (LOFs) you can select in DSM Gifted: 5150, 5750, 5950, 9750, 10000, 10050, 10450, 10600, 10700, 10750, 11250, 11300, 51505750, 5750-5150, Universal (9750-10600) and SCR (9750-10600). The second menu item is DiSEqC. We were impressed that 8D Technology equipped DSM Gifted with DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1 as well as 1.2 and USALS. There is even DiSEqC auto detection function! During our whole test, USALS was operating without any problems. We turned our dish quite a number of times during this test powering the motor from this tiny meter. Thats what every installer will really appreciate.

Se pretende ver SDTV, pode usar um computador com 2 GHz e ter apenas 256 MB de RAM. Porm em ambos os casos a placa grfica tem de suportar DirectX verso 9.0c ou superior. Naturalmente, no que diz respeito ao hardware, quanto mais recente e mais capacitado melhor. O fabricante inclu no CD
drivers para 32 bits e 64 bits para todas as verses do MS Windows (Windows XP, Vista e Windows 7), tambm tem drivers para Linux. O CD tambm contm o software MyTeVii que o controlo central para todas as funes da placa, bem como software TeViiData para recepo de internet via satlite.

Tambm tem disponvel uma srie de frequncias LOF pr-programadas para cobrir a banda C e Ku-band, mas tambm podem personalizar individualmente (incluindo o ponto de comutao para as bandas de frequncia superior e inferior) para as suas necessidades especficas. O software MyTeVii tambm funciona muito bem com todos os protocolos comuns DiSEqC, isto faz com que a placa consiga funcionar com um nico LNB, sistema DiSEqC 1.0 que vai at quatro LNBs, bem como um sistema mais complicado DiSEqC 1.1 que vai at 16
LNBs. Se estiver a usar um motor DiSEqC, pode aceder individualmente as posies armazenadas na memria e configurar com as entradas de satlite apropriadas.

do a recepo SCPC e a digitalizao automtica dos canais. No nosso teste SCPC a placa foi capaz de processar um transponder 2,0 Ms/s do TURKSAT a 42 Este sem quaisquer tipo de problemas. A placa TeVii S480 tambm mostrou as suas capacidades durante uma varredura automtica de canais dos satlites Hotbird 13 Este, este pedido ficou concludo em pouco mais de seis minutos, temos de agradecer o facto de ter os transponders actualizados e identificou quase todos os canais recepcionveis. Para completar o teste de sintonia, naturalmente que tnhamos de verificar como
que os sintonizadores funcionam com os sinais mais fracos. Para isso, rodamos a nossa antena para o EXPRESS AM1 a 40 Este, onde os transponders individuais deste satlite so difceis de receber com uma antena de 120 centmetros, mas este satlite tambm encontra-se numa rbita inclinada fazendo com que seja ainda mais difcil ter uma recepo estvel durante longos perodos de tempo. O S480 TeVii dominou esta tarefa e tivemos uma boa recepo. Como a placa S480 compatvel com DVB-S/S2, consegue demodular QPSK e BPSK em DVB-S e QPSK e 8PSK em DVB-S2.
Assim que temos preenchido a lista de canais no ser uma m ideia ver novamente o vasto conjunto de definies bsicas. Cada parmetro que possa imaginar pode ser ajustado para as necessidades do usurio e aqui que o S480 destaca-se como placa expansvel para computador em relao a um set top box: se estiver a usar um hardware mais antigo ou se o processador no for o mais rpido do mundo, os requisitos necessrios para o processador ou placa grfica podem ser reduzidos - por exemplo, a funo Time Shift pode ser desligada. Os atalhos de teclado tambm podem ser configurados para cada funo possvel. Os codecs para o udio, vdeo e HD so seleccionados individualmente. Cada codec serve para cada processamento de contedo de udio e vdeo, para que a escolha
do codec tenha uma influncia directa sobre a imagem exibida a partir da placa. Se, por exemplo, estiver a usar uma placa grfica com suporte de hardware para recepo HDTV, pode conseguir uma reduo exigida sobre o processador, usando o codec recomendado pelo fabricante da placa grfica em vez do codec padro do software MyTeVii. O S480 tem capacidade para todas as definies necessrias para esta finalidade. A janela principal do software MyTeVii est bem configurada e organizada. O lado direito da janela est reservado para a lista de canais, em contrapartida todo o lado esquerdo da janela serve para exibir o sinal de televiso. No canto inferior da janela o software apresenta toda a informao do canal que est a ser exibido (obviamente, desde que esta
53
informao esteja disponibilizada). A lista de canais pode ser classificada e agrupada de diversas formas para que, por exemplo, os canais serem agrupados por transponder ou por satlite. Naturalmente que as listas de favoritos podem ser carregadas com todos os seus canais favoritos. Os canais indesejados da lista podem ser configurados para desaparecer clicando apenas uma vez com o rato, enquanto que os canais de contedo adulto podem ser impedidos de ver por crianas atravs de um cdigo PIN. O especial disto tudo que todo isto feito atravs da janela principal do software MyTeVii, e por isso todas as alteraes so imediatamente visveis. O EPG TeVii tambm foi projectado tendo em conta a simplicidade, programao para os prximos sete dias, incluindo informaes detalhadas da programao apresentada de forma organizada, uma vez mais, contando que estes dados estejam disponibilizados pelo provedor. Naturalmente, que as entradas no temporizador podem ser feitas directamente a partir do EPG e como poderia esperar de um produto topo de gama como este, o
54
software pode retirar o computador do modo de espera a fim de gravar um programa. O mesmo acontece no sentido inverso: enquanto est a configurar as entradas no temporizador, o usurio pode seleccionar se quer manter o computador ligado ou coloc-lo em modo de espera aps terminar as gravaes. Desta forma, o computador no precisa de ficar ligado o dia inteiro apenas para gravar um nico programa. O tempo de demora do S480 para mudar entre dois canais de transponders diferentes de 2-3 segundos; como soluo para um computador isto realmente muito rpido. Porque tem dois sintonizadores, um segundo canal pode exibido numa segunda janela, enquanto que a sua vez a gravao est a ser feita atravs da primeira janela. Tambm possvel num dos sintonizadores a recepo de internet via satlite enquanto que o outro usado para recepo de televiso. Durante a reproduo pode alternar entre as diferentes faixas de udio, bem como aceder a qualquer legenda disponvel apenas precisa de clicar uma vez o rato. HDTV pode ser exibido com uma resoluo de at 1080i, as
1. Dubai Sports HD via ProgDVB 2. Digitalizao de Transponders do Badr 26 Este via ProgDVB
gravaes podem ser feitas em MPEG, bem como o formato TS (transponder stream) e por isso pode processar em mais programas de edio diferentes, tais como o DVR Studio e converter num DVD. O software MyTeVii tem um menu que pode comunicar com o usurio em Ingls, Francs, Alemo, rabe, Chins, Finlands, Italiano, Polaco, Russo, Espanhol e Sueco. A caracterstica de imagem visual do programa tambm mostrou-se bastante interessante. Podemos usar para ajustar a aparncia do software para combinar com o gosto do usurio atravs de apenas alguns cliques no rato. O programa vem com duas diferentes imagens visuais do programa, mas pode baixar muito mais atravs da Internet.
E porque tem um controlo remoto includo, o software MyTeVii pode ser controlado a partir do conforto de seu sof; informao como o EPG mistura-se com a visualizao dos menus em formato de tela cheia por cima do programa actual. Por isso a placa TeVii com a ajuda do computador ocupa facilmente o lugar do televisor e tambm da set-top box. O S480 TeVii muito bom em termos de hardware, mas no temos duvidas: se os dois sintonizadores estiveram activos particularmente no modo HDTV, a exigncia do processador aumenta. Por isso no nosso teste usamos um computador com processador Intel Core 2 Duo com 2GB de memria e uma nova placa grfica ATI, a fim de medir a carga do processador. Os valores que
medimos foram na sua maior parte mais baixos do que espervamos para ver numa placa para computador com sintonizador duplo em modo HDTV. Apenas quando acede dois canais HDTV ao mesmo tempo que o nosso sistema empurrado para os limites. Ficou impossvel fazer qualquer outro tipo de trabalho interessante no computador. Ns temos de dizer que de qualquer forma a apresentao dos canais HDTV flui-livremente sem qualquer tipo de interferncia. No temos dvidas desta lio: o desempenho de TeVii S480 (na realidade para cada tipo de placa para computador) depende muito se a placa de vdeo do computador suporta acelerao de hardware de descodificao de vdeo e obviamente se a acelerao est activada. Alm disso, temos de considerar a resoluo real de um canal HDTV (na realidade, apenas alguns canais transmitem com o total de 1920x1080p) e finalmente a compresso de vdeo e sua taxa. Noutro teste com um processador Intel Core 2 com 2,6 GHz, placa de vdeo acelerada por hardware e um descodificador de apoio, a carga foi de 2-5% num nvel mximo de sinal HDTV com a resoluo de 1920x1080p. No final tudo se resume ao hardware que tem no seu computador. O S480 TeVii no possui slots CI ou leitor de cartes integrado. Vai pensar que isto torna impossvel receber qualquer tipo de canal codificado. Mas existe um retorno que recai sobre Emus e Cardsharing. Atravs de uma interface plug-in integrada o software necessrio para a recepo de TV por assinatura pode ser activado. Nos nossos testes o TeVii S480 funcionou muito bem, embora o segundo sintonizador tenha causado alguns problemas e no podamos aceder ao mesmo tempo.
56
As coisas pareciam melhorar com o Windows Media Center. Vem includo a partir do sistema operacional Windows Vista e a placa TeVii totalmente compatvel com esta aplicao. O Windows Media Center pode comunicar plenamente com o TeVii S480 mas no vem com muitos recursos de definies como o software MyTeVii. Durante os nossos testes comprovamos o desempenho que espervamos. A varredura de canais demorou mais de 11 minutos e encontrou apenas uma fraco de canais em relao ao software MyTeVii. Obviamente que isto uma soluo universal e ao contrrio do MyTeVii que foi projectado apenas para o S480. Ficamos contentes de ver que o Windows Media Center foi capaz de funcionar com a gravao e reproduo simultnea de dois canais (at mesmo em HD) atravs dos dois sintonizadores. Porem ao contrrio do MyTeVii, no fomos capaz de exibir dois canais em HD ao mesmo tempo, mas mesmo assim, o segundo sintonizador estava disponvel para a gravao. Alm disso, o controlo remoto TeVii compatvel com o Windows Media Center, naturalmente que isto significa que tambm pode controlar tudo a partir do seu confortvel sof. Para alm do ProgDVB e o Windows Media Center, existem outros programas que podem ser usados com o S480 para a recepo de TV. A nossa tabela apresenta os links desses programas. Aps a recepo de televiso, tambm queramos ver a recepo de Internet. TeVii incluiu o software necessrio para o S480: TeViiData. Assim como MyTeVii, TeViiData tambm tem uma lista de provedores de internet-via-satlite bastante actualizada. Na maioria dos casos apenas precisa de seleccio-
nar um item da lista e, supondo que j tem o servio com o provedor, pode comear de imediato. Nos nossos testes o software TeViiData funcionou sem problemas e forneceu o acesso Internet via Eutelsat W3A dos 7 Este. A placa PCI-e TeVii S480 provou de diversas maneiras em nossos testes que: uma das primeiras placas para computador a ter dois sintonizadores totalmente funcionais que podem ser usados simultaneamente com o prprio software TeVii. E porque tem uma placa de construo moderna, irradia muito pouco calor, isto faz com que os usurios
fiquem satisfeitos em saber que o sistema de refrigerao do computador no precisa de funcionar a alta capacidade e por isso no vai fazer tanto barulho. O software MyTeVii demonstrou com sucesso a sua capacidade durante os nossos testes de software, pode caso seja necessrio utilizar em substituio alternativas como o ProgDVB ou o Windows Media Center. A qualidade da reproduo de udio e vdeo foi excepcional. Tambm devemos mencionar que os fanticos por contedos MPEG 4:2:2 tambm podem exibir bastando ter o codec correspondente do Elecard.

Twin Tuner Pc card

The S480 is a PCI Express (PCI-e) expansion card for a PC. The use of the PCI-e slot is absolutely necessary because the data transfer rate of a standard PCI slot might not be good enough for the reception of high resolution TV content. Contrary to the TeVii S470 model that we tested in the 08-09/2009 issue of TELEsatellite, the S480 operates with two fully functional DVB-S/S2 tuners that can both be used at the same time independently from each other. You could actually look at it as if there were two separate DVB-S/ S2 cards installed in the PC except that the entire hardware for both cards is on one circuit board so that only one slot is occupied in the PC. In addition to the card itself, the package also comes with an installation guide in English and German, a CD with drivers and software as well as a remote control and an infrared receiver. A detailed user manual is available on the CD in PDF format. The installation guide unfortunately doesnt go into any details on the S480. On the other hand, we liked the remote control; it helps to convert the PC into a fully functional DVB-S/S2 TV receiver. It sits comfortably in your hand, is properly labeled and comes with buttons that are easy to reach and easy on your fingers. Installing the TeVii S480 card was handled without any problems. The card already has a slot cover installed on it although a smaller version is provided for use with narrower PC housings and can easily be swapped out if necessary. Since the TeVii card with its two tuners must also supply power for two LNBs and the integrated chips on the card will be putting a demand on energy needs, it would make sense to connect a matching output from the PC power supply to the TeVii card. This will guarantee that the card will have enough power available to it to do its job; the PCI-e bus alone is not able to handle these power demands. After installing the card, the two tuner inputs are quickly connected to the satellite system and the infrared receiver is plugged into the appropriate jack on the card. The S480 is ready to go. Although the TeVii S480
card is best suited for HDTV reception, it doesnt place any special demands on the PC itself. The requirements for interference-free HDTV reception according to the manufacturer: a 2.4 GHz CPU, a graphics card with 128MB RAM as well as 1GB of memory. If youll only be watching SDTV, you can use a PC with a 2 GHz PC and only 256MB RAM. In either case though, the graphics card that is used must support DirectX version 9.0C or higher. Of course, when it comes to the hardware you end up using, the newer and
58
more capable the hardware, the better. The manufacturer included 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for all MS Windows versions (Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7) on the CD; there are also drivers for Linux. The CD also contains the MyTeVii software which is the control central for all of the cards functions as well as TeViiData software for reception of Internet via Satellite. The entire package is rounded off with a demo version of the well-known ProgDVB. The installation of the drivers and the MyTeVii software occurred problem-free and ran fully automatically. Thats what Plug&Play is all about; you dont even have to restart the PC after installing the drivers. The installation assistant presents two separate MyTeVii icons on the PCs desktop with one labeled LNB1 and the other LNB2. Nope, its not a software bug. Instead, TeVii has made it possible to open two MyTeVii windows at the same time and fully independent of each other. And of course it stands to reason that numerous settings and reception parameters can be set up for each tuner input separate and independent of each other including all the necessary settings steps for LNB1 and LNB2.
After starting the MyTeVii software for the first time, an empty channel list is displayed. Of course, this list should be filled as quickly as possible, wouldnt you say? The manufacturer included a preprogrammed list of 178 European, Asian and American satellites along with corresponding transponder data. It was nice to see that the data was actually quite up to date so that the most recently started HDTV channels could easily be found. There were also plenty of preprogrammed LOF frequencies available to cover the C-band and Ku-band but they could also be individually customized (including the switching point for the upper and lower frequency bands) to your specific requirements. The MyTeVii software also plays very nicely with all of the common DiSEqC protocols thus letting you use the card with just a single LNB, with a DiSEqC 1.0 system with up to four LNBs as well as a more complicated DiSEqC1.1 system with up to 16 LNBs. If youre using a DiSEqC motor, the positions stored in memory can be individually accessed and set up with appropriate satellite entries. Our overall positive impression was strengthened by the ability to also use this card with SCR ap-
plications. The ability to edit satellite and transponder data directly in the Channel Scan menu is especially practical. You can add new transponders or satellites or modify existing data. The channel scan functions are also logical, well thought out and easy to use. For example, you can scan a single transponder from a satellite, multiple transponders or all of the transponder entries. The FEC is recognized by both tuners automatically. We were very impressed with the two TeVii tuners; not only do they require very little energy and thereby radiate very little heat, but they also operate on the socalled LNB Off feature. This feature turns off power to the LNB as long as the tuner on the card is not accessed. In the end the two tuners handled all of the tasks effortlessly including SCPC reception and automatic channel scans. In our SCPC test the card was able to process a 2.0 Ms/sec transponder on TURKSAT at 42 east without any problems. The TeVii S480 card also showed its capabilities during an automatic channel scan of the HOTBIRD satellites at 13 east; this job was completed in just a little over six minutes whereby, thanks to the up-to-date transponders, nearly eve-
ry receivable channel was identified. To complete the tuner test, we naturally had to check how well the tuners performed with weaker signals. For this we turned our antenna to EXPRESS AM1 at 40 east where not only are the individual transponders on this satellite already difficult to receive with a 120cm dish but this satellite finds itself in an inclined orbit making stable reception over longer time periods even more difficult. The TeVii S480 mastered this task and provided us with good reception. Since the S480 card is DVB-S/S2 compatible, it can demodulate QPSK and BPSK in DVB-S and QPSK and 8PSK in DVB-S2. Once the channel list is filled with entries it would not be a bad idea to have a quick look again at the vast array of basic settings. Every imaginable parameter can be set to the users requirements and this is where the S480 as a PC expansion card stands out compared to a set top box: if older hardware is being used or if the processor isnt the fastest in the world, the demand on the processor or graphics card can be turned back for example, the Time Shift function can be turned off.

Analisador com Uma Enorme memria

Tem crescido significativamente nos ltimos anos a disponibilidade de obter analisadores de sinais a preo acessvel. H uma caracterstica que especialmente crtica pelos usurios, que at ao momento no tinha sido acompanhada de perto pelos fabricantes: trata-se de uma extensa base de dados actualizada dos satlites e transponders. E simplesmente por causa de ser praticamente interminvel a lista de canais televisivos, estaes de rdio e servios de Internet disponvel via satlite, antena ou cabo, que o desejo de ter toda esta informao completamente compreensvel. obvio que no o suficiente para um instalador de antenas na Europa conseguir concentrar-se apenas sobre todos os demais satlites familiares como o ASTRA 19.2 Este e Hotbird 13 Este. O mesmo pode ser dito para um instalador na Tailndia, ele no teria hipteses de sobreviver se limitar a sua percia apenas para o satlite THAICOM dos 78.5 Este. O analisador de sinais que aqui apresentamos, o SatCatcher Digipro ST Combo, no est apenas destinado para o uso de utilizadores privados ambiciosos, mas tambm, e sobretudo para os profissionais. E se quiser ter alguma

hiptese de sobrevivncia no mercado actual, tem de ser capaz de reagir com rapidez e preciso aos desejos dos seus clientes. E dentro deste processo temos a necessidade de no local de instalao ser capaz de alinhar para todos os satlites possveis de receber to eficientemente quanto possvel. Para que o instalador seja capaz de fazer isto ele precisa de estar equipado com algumas ferramentas bsicas e este o ponto crucial: Para que serve ao instalador ter o melhor e mais caro analisador de sinais se o cliente quer que ele adicione ainda mais outro satlite no seu sistema de recepo, mas o analisador de sinais no tem dados armazenados dos transponders na sua memria prevenindo o instalador para conseguir alinhar a antena? A empresa britnica SatCatcher mostrou-nos mais que uma vez no passado que os seus produtos so actualizados tecnologicamente e cheio de ideias inovadoras. E com o Digipro ST Combo isto no alterou. Quando comparado aos modelos anteriores, realmente no mudou muita coisa do lado de fora. Mede os 240 x 105 x 75mm e tem o peso de apenas 1,4 kg, incluindo uma bateria e tampa protectora, o Digipro ST Combo adapta-se confortavelmente na sua mo. O seu peso distribudo uniformemente para que no esteja a tombar para os lados. O display de 3,5 polegadas com resoluo 128x64 muito fcil de ler e suficiente grande para melhorar a exibio de todas as informaes necessrias. A bateria recarregvel integrada de 4000mAh da VARTA fornece energia para o Digipro ST Combo durante quatro horas. O ciclo completo de carga demora o mesmo tempo. O fabricante adicionou uma variedade de acessrios que incluem a fonte de alimentao 9.6V, assim como uma ligao para carregamento no carro para que o instalador consiga recarregar o analisador de sinais enquanto vai a caminho do prximo cliente. Tambm vem com um revestimento resistente humidade para ajudar a proteger o analisador de sinais da sujidade e dos seus elementos. O estojo includo permite que conseguir trabalhar com as duas mos livres. A aba para proteger do sol tambm facilita a leitura do visor LCD sobre o brilho da luz solar. Para culminar tudo, o Digipro ST Combo tem um cabo USB para ligao a um computador e um cabo A/V com ligao para a entrada/ sada de vdeo. No tem manual do usurio impresso, em vez disso o manual est presente em formato PDF e pode ser encontrado no CD includo. O Digipro ST Combo, juntamente com todos os seus acessrios pode ficar embalado numa caixa de alumnio resistente para facilitar o transporte. Tambm serve para proteger o contedo se o estojo cair. No podemos deixar de notar a facilidade de leitura do visor LCD colorido de 3,5 polegadas do painel frontal. Encontramos quatro botes de funo abaixo do visor, a descrio destes botes exibida na parte inferior do ecr. Do lado direito, temos mais quatro botes em forma de uma cruz que so usados para funcionar com os menus. Mais abaixo tem um teclado numrico composto por 12 botes, bem como cinco botes de funo adicionais do lado direito. Todos os botes esto descritos de forma legvel o que facilita bastante no trabalho com o Digipro ST Combo. Por cima do analisador de sinais o fabricante colocou uma combinao de entradas para o sintonizador de recepo por satlite e terrestre, bem como um sintonizador de conexo adicional para teste. Tambm podemos encontrar aqui a ficha de entrada/sada para sinais de udio/vdeo. O SatCatcher Digipro ST Combo que nos foi enviado para o teste serve para sinais de satlite e terrestres (ST). Existe tambm uma verso SC disponvel para sinais de satlite e cabo. Na parte inferior do analisador podemos encontrar uma interface USB e entrada para a fonte de alimentao. Este novo produto da SatCatcher foi fabricado a pensar na qualidade e para ser honesto no esperamos menos desta empresa. At mesmo a bateria recarregvel, que nas verses anteriores era definitivamente instalada na unidade e no podia ser removida pelo utilizador final, est agora dentro de seu prprio compartimento da bateria e pode ser substituda pelo usurio final. Todas as unidades expedidas aps 01 de Abril de 2011 incluem este recurso. A SatCatcher fez com que a unidade fosse ainda mais verstil para aqueles instaladores que andam sempre ocupados, que no esto apenas centrados nas instalaes de televiso, mas tambm nas instalaes de vdeo vigilncia de segurana aka: o mais novo SatCatcher no serve apenas para captura DVB-S e DVB-T, mas tambm vem com uma entrada de vdeo para o usar com cmaras normalizadas. A SatCatcher ainda acrescentou uma sada activa de 12V na porta de entrada IF, e sendo assim os instaladores tambm pode alimentar a cmara enquanto fazerem uma instalao. Para este fim, as novas unidades vendidas neste momento tambm incluem um tipo F para alimentar a tomada dos cabos (O nosso modelo de amostra ainda no estava equipada com este recurso). Tal como mencionado anteriormente, essencial para o instalador profissional ter a informao actualizada dos
65
satlites e do transponder e que esteja sempre ao seu alcance. At mesmo um usurio final ficaria encantado de ter estes dados disponveis no seu analisador de sinais. Antes de verificar os detalhes tcnicos do sinal de medio do Digipro ST Combo, queremos apresent-lo duas das caractersticas mais importantes deste analisador de sinais. O primeiro o seu 1 GB de memria cache seguido de uma funo para processar e exibir dados NIT (tabela de informaes de rede). A memria cache de 1 GB o resultado directo da SatCatcher juntar as suas ideias e decidir a forma mais fcil para que o analisador de sinais consiga a entrada de todos os satlites e transponders disponveis em todo o mundo. Para isso foi necessrio incorporar dois tipos diferentes de memria: a memria de trabalho e memria principal. A memria principal tem o tamanho de 1GB e pode ser
carregada com dados directamente de um computador. Tem espao para cerca de 300.000 entradas por satlite e transponder. Assim que a ligao USB estabelecida entre o analisador de sinais e um computador, o analisador de sinais reconhecido pelo MS Windows como um dispositivo removvel de armazenamento externo e, por isso, no precisa de ter nenhum driver ou software especial. Naturalmente, que o usurio precisa de um arquivo actualizado em formato ASD que fornecido directamente pelo fabricante ou de um distribuidor autorizado. Para actualizar os dados de satlite e transponder, voc simplesmente ter de baixar o ltimo arquivo ASD da Internet e copi-lo para o dispositivo removvel de armazenamento externo. Os engenheiros da SatCatcher rapidamente reconheceram que seria um grande erro de simplesmente subs-
tituir todo o banco de dados do analisador de sinais, sem dvida, existem poucos usurios finais que guardam os seus prprios dados no analisador de sinais - estes dados seriam perdidos se todo o banco de dados fosse substitudo. Para evitar isso, os engenheiros chegaram a uma soluo engenhosamente simples: o menu principal do analisador de sinais vem com uma entrada que permite a transferncia de dados individuais (satlite, transponder ou prestador de servios) de sua memria principal para a sua memria de trabalho, de modo a que ele esteja disponvel para usar pelo analisador de sinais. Enquanto a memria principal contm toda a informao dos satlites e transponders do mundo, independentemente de o utilizador final precisar ou no, o menu obra contm apenas as entradas que o usurio final realmente precisa. Isto no facilita ape-
nas o acesso a dados que so necessrios, mas tambm permite uma completa actualizao do banco de dados a qualquer momento sem ter de se preocupar de gravar por cima de qualquer outro tipo de entrada individual. Tambm possvel transferir as entradas de memria de trabalho de volta para a memria principal, para que consiga transferir de volta para o computador para imprimir ou transferir para um analisador de sinais diferente da SatCatcher. Assim que ligamos o analisador de sinais, o visor do Digipro ST Combo apresenta o menu principal com quatro seleces. Estas quatro opes identificam as quatro funes bsicas do analisador de sinais: a medida do sinal em modo terrestre, um sinal de medio em modo satlite, vrias potncias DiSEqC e testes de cabeamento, bem como uma seleco de menus para entrada/sada AV. Na parte inferior do ecr tambm podemos encontrar um boto Menu vermelho que activado com a tecla F3. Ao pressionar este boto o usurio vai directamente para a lista de canais actualizada previamente mencionada atravs de um ficheiro ASD. No modo terrestre o analisador de sinais pode processar sinais analgicos e digitais dentro da faixa de frequncia de 46 a 870 MHz de vrias maneiras diferentes: pode ser seleccionado uma nica frequncia de modo a que sejam exibidos os seus parmetros. Estes parmetros incluem o nvel de sinal em dBV, a frequncia portadora de vdeo, a frequncia portadora de udio, bem como a C/N em dB. Com os sinais digitais tambm podemos ver o MER (Modulation Error Ratio), CBER (Channel Bit Error Rate) e VBER (Viterbi Bit Error Rate).

Alm de todos estes valores numricos o analisador de sinais tambm pode apresentar um grafico numa coluna separada com os nveis do sinal de udio e vdeo. Este modo pode ser usado para ajustar uma antena que ficou mais ou menos alinhada para onde precisa de estar. Para este efeito, temos a visualizao do analisador espectro. Podemos usar para exibir a entrada de sinal em vrias larguras diferentes que ocupam todo o ecr, 500, 200, 100, 50, 32, 16 e 8 MHz. Quando testamos com uma antena UHF, o Digipro ST Combo reagiu muito rapidamente s mudanas da posio da antena e exibiu tambm o grafico. Com a ajuda do ecr com o analisador de espectro, foi muito mais fcil para identificar uma posio de partida para a antena, que depois podemos afinar. Se quiser ver o pico do sinal, apenas precisa de pressionar a tecla de funo
Teste para pedir ao Digipro ST Combo para comear a procurar uma transportadora DVB-T vlida ou um sinal analgico. Se digitar uma frequncia directa ou optar por entrar num determinado numero de canal, pressionando o boto Enter podemos ver uma exposio detalhada dos parmetros da frequncia. Com sinais DVB-T consegue ler NIT e exibir qualquer um dos canais que se encontram no monitor do analisador de sinais. Uma vez que o analisador de sinais no tem qualquer tipo de leitor para slot CI interno ou leitor de cartes, este recurso apenas funciona com sinais free-to-air (FTA). Os vrios modos de pesquisa so complementados por uma varredura automtica de canais que ir verificar todas as frequncias de sinais utilizveis e, em seguida, exibir os resultados num grfico. Isto essencialmente uma expanso do modo de
analisador espectro. O analisador de sinais SatCatcher pode manipular sinais de TV, mas tambm pode funcionar com sinais de rdio FM e sinais de rdio DAB; Os menus de seleco correspondente esto disponveis para estes modos. Podemos agradecer o facto de ter todos estes diferentes cenrios possveis, para que o usurio consiga que o Digipro ST Combo responda s suas necessidades pessoais. Pode, por exemplo, exibir o sinal medindo nas escalas dBV, dBmV ou dBm, bem como definir um nvel mnimo para processamento de sinais ou programar o analisador de sinais para desligar-se aps um determinado tempo. Gostamos especialmente da SatCatcher ter um novo recurso ASD - o banco de dados pr-configurado de satlites do mundo inteiro e entradas do transponder - e tambm ter adaptado para o modo terrestre. obvio
que, neste modo gira tudo em torno de frequncias nas bandas de UHF e VHF e no com os satlites e os seus transponders correspondentes. Mas, sem dvida, que tambm pode ser prtico para ter acesso a uma lista pr-programada de todas as frequncias e com quem as ocupa. O plano de canais disponvel pode ser exibido, activado e editado atravs de uma entrada no menu principal. A configurao bsica inclui uma lista pr-configurada para a Gr-Bretanha, bem como um conjunto global de frequncias usadas na Europa. Se o analisador de sinais for para ser usado em outras partes do mundo, o recurso ASD permite que consiga facilmente fazer o download da lista actual no site do fabricante ou permite a um distribuidor posteriormente transferir de um computador para o analisador. O modo de analisador de satlite basicamente o mesmo em estrutura como o modo terrestre. Esta operao transparente ajuda a facilitar o trabalho do usurio e por isto digno de louvor. Para poder utilizar toda a vasta gama de recursos do analisador de sinais, vale a pena ver o menu de configuraes e configurar alguns dos parmetros fundamentais. Includo no que seria, evidentemente, a actual posio geogrfica. Com essa informao, a Digipro ST Combo pode calcular automaticamente o azimute e a elevao de cada satlite pretendido, bem como o ngulo de polarizao e da posio do satlite para DiSEqC 1.3 (USALS). Estes resultados podem ser apresentados em modo numrico mas tambm pode ser em modo grfico. Nos nossos testes funcionou perfeitamente e podemos usar para obter uma ideia bastante boa da posio de um satlite. A

partir daqui pode aceder ao modo de analisador espectro para o alinhamento de uma antena adicional. A apresentao do analisador espectro muito rpida a reagir s mudanas de sinal. Isto facilita o ajuste da antena e identifica um pico de sinal. Se quiser ver numa determinada frequncia do espectro, ser uma boa ideia reduzir a calibrao de frequncia do monitor para que os valores pr-programados de 50, 100, 200 e 500 MHz estejam disponveis porque uma frequncia total expansvel. Os botes do cursor podem ser usados para seleccionar qualquer frequncia pretendida no visor. Ao pressionar uma vez no boto Entrar apresenta o seu nvel de sinal exacto e o C/N (razo-portadora-rudo). E como no modo terrestre, podemos atravs do teclado numrico tratar de uma variedade de configuraes, como a calibrao de frequncia do analisador espectro ou a tenso pretendida para ligar no sintonizador. Graas sua preciso e facilidade de leitura da rotulagem, num curto espao de tempo comea a ver que j no pode viver sem este recurso. Os instaladores profissionais podem vir a necessitar por diversas vezes de provar que fizeram um trabalho bem feito. Para este efeito, a funo Log pode ser usada para armazenar os valores obtidos durante o alinhamento da antena, que posteriormente pode ser disponibilizada num computador. Tambm pode tirar uma fotografia do ecr do analisador de espectro e armazen-lo no analisador de sinais. Assim que a antena estiver posicionada atravs do visor do analisador espectro ou por clculos de ngulo, e estiver a receber um satlite, apenas precisa de carregar
num boto num pico de sinal para colocar o analisador no modo de transponder, e aqui pode ver a qualidade de sinal e a fora do sinal grfico e tambm pode ver o nvel do sinal, CBER, VBER e C/N numrico. Neste momento, a antena pode ser perfeitamente alinhada porque tem uma leitura precisa e reage rapidamente nas mudanas de nvel do sinal. Se o analisador de sinais reconhecer uma frequncia vlida, o NIT do transponder pode ser lido e o sinal de TV ou rdio pode ser visualizado no ecr. obvio que isto apenas verdadeiro para sinais digitais. Usando o NIT, o analisador de sinais calcula a posio do satlite actual, nos nossos testes este recurso funcionou perfeitamente e acima de tudo funcionou correctamente. Os problemas apenas ocorrem quando os fornecedores no usam a informao NIT precisa, como foi o caso do nosso teste com a recepo de um sinal dos 7 Oeste, que resultou numa posio incorrecta de dados por satlite. Todas estas capacidades de medio de sinal ficam cobertas pelos diagramas de constelao em ambos os modos DVB-S e DVB-T. Se algum detalhe de uma frequncia mudar, apenas precisa de pressionar o boto Editar, para poder editar rapidamente os diversos parmetros. Alm das definies clssicas, como LOF, tenso e polarizao do sinal de 22 kHz, tambm pode personalizar o DiSEqC 1.0 at quatro satlites, 1.1 que vai at oito satlites, bem como DiSEqC 1.3 (USALS) para sistemas motorizados. At mesmo as solues SCR Unicable so suportadas e podem ser activadas directamente no menu Configuraes. Ao todo, a Digipro ST Combo entregue com dados do
1. clculo do azimute e elevao 2. Banco de dados ASD no Pc: os dados de satlite e transponder podem ser adicionados e alterados
satlite e do transponder de satlites europeus de 42 Este at 30 Oeste. O usurio pode edit-los ou expandi-los no visor do analisador de sianis. Mas o que fazer se precisar de trabalhar com ABS1 a 75 Este? No h problema; aqui que a lista ASD uma vez mais entra em cena. Apenas precisa de aceder ao gerenciador ASD no menu. O Digipro ST Combo vai pedir o satlite que pretende activar; se a lista completa dos satlites de todo o mundo fosse apresentada, ficava tudo um pouco desorganizado. Em vez disso, apenas precisa de entrar na posio geogrfica do satlite e seleccionar Este ou Oeste, pressionando o boto +/-. Quando pressiona o boto OK, o analisador de sinais vai imediatamente reconhecer que est interessado na po-
sio 75 para Este e que envolve o satlite ABS1. Ento o analisador de sinais ir exibir as frequncias disponveis do transponder, juntamente com os prestadores correspondentes que utilizam essas frequncias. Neste momento apenas precisa de procurar a entrada pretendida na lista e transferi-la para a memria de trabalho atravs do boto F3. Comea a receber no ecr uma apresentao detalhada dos dados e, se for necessrio pode adicionar comandos DiSEqC ou seleccionar um correspondente LOF para a banda C, Ku-band, etc., seguidamente vai precisar de pressionar o boto Salvar para armazenar tudo na memria do analisador de sinais para que o analisador de sinais consiga facilmente recordar num momento posterior.
Satcatcher 's Digipro ST combo tem caixa de alumnio resistente com vrias ligaes muitas teis: pala dobrvel para proteco solar, cD com o software, guia do usurio, transformador de corrente, cabo para ligao USB, carregador de isqueiro para carro e cabo A / V
Como j temos o satlite ABS1 a 75 Este armazenado na memria do analisador de sinais, parece lgico rodar uma das nossas antenas para o satlite. ABS1 normalmente bastante difcil de receber aqui na Europa Ocidental. Com a ajuda da calculadora de azimute e elevao do Di-
gipro ST Combo, rapidamente determinamos os ngulos necessrios para a antena e comeamos a ajust-la nesse sentido.E porque tem o modo de analisador de espectro, fomos rapidamente capazes de identificar vrios picos de sinal e com a ajuda do modo transponder foi fcil melho-
rar o alinhamento da antena. E a pergunta dos $64.000: ser que tem espao para melhorar o alinhamento da antena? No, mesmo se tivesse a usar um analisador de sinais de outro fabricante que custa-se milhares de dlares, no teria ajudado a aumentar o nvel de sinal na an-
tena! No temos duvidas que o SatCatcher Digipro ST faz o trabalho! E durante todos estes testes tambm fomos capaz de determinar que o sintonizador interno do analisador de sinais realmente bastante sensvel e foi capaz de processar sinais a comear por um C/N de 3.5dB.
Lr transponders de forma correcta uma coisa; mas ter uma imagem de TV ao vivo no monitor outra coisa completamente diferente. O Digipro ST Combo no usa apenas os dados NIT de um transponder para identificar a posio do satlite, mas tambm pode usa para mostrar uma srie de canais de televiso gratuitos e receber estaes de rdio. Apesar do monitor ser de apenas 3,5 centmetros de dimetro, a imagem de TV bem visivel e, por isso, pode ser utilizada para confirmar com o cliente que est a receber os canais que ele realmente pretende. E porque o analisador de sinais tem uma sada A/V, pode facilmente ligar directamente num televisor e ser convertido para um receptor de satlite ou DVB-T . Este Jack A/V tambm pode ser usado para exibir um sinal de vdeo externo no monitor do analisador de sinais de modo que, por exemplo, possa ser alinhada uma antena motorizada com um actuador de 36V. O sinal de vdeo do posicionador/receptor pode ser exibido no monitor do analisador de sinais. E porque tem a entrada do segundo sinal no topo do analisador de sinais, pode verificar os sinais do LNB, mas tambm a tenso de controlo da polarizao do receptor ao LNB, a banda alta/baixa do sinal de controlo de 22 kHz bem como todos os comandos DiSEqC que so enviados. Isto uma forma especialmente prtica de localizar e corrigir quaisquer tipo de problemas que possam surgir com cabos de grande comprimento e complexos. particularmente til a anlise dos comandos DiSEqC enviados pelo receptor, que permitiu facilmente identificar e corrigir um problema com um comutador ou
corrigir um problema com o cabeamento. O Digipro ST Combo pode ser conectado num computador como um dispositivo de armazenamento removvel, sem a necessidade de drivers especficos. E porque tem software includo no PC, possvel calcular os ngulos necessrios para cada satlite pretendido usando uma tabela extensa de locais diferentes num PC (tambm pode introduzir directamente o curso de latitude e longitude), mas tambm os dados ASD para o modo terrestre e por satlite que pode ser expandido e editado. Assim que todas estas mudanas tiverem sido concludas, o usurio pode salvar os dados e depois transferir para o analisador de sinais e apenas precisa de arrastar e soltar os dados para o analisador de sinais. Ficamos muito impressionados com o SatCatcher Digipro ST Combo durante os nossos testes. Graas lgica construo do software, a instalao foi muito fcil. Tem uma grande variedade de recursos e a taa vai para o banco de dados ASD. Esta obra de alta-qualidade no deixa que algo fique por fazer.

combination Signal Analyzer for DVB-S and DVB-T

www.TELE-satellite.com/TELE-satellite-1107/eng/satcatcher.pdf
The availability of affordable signal analyzers has grown significantly over the past few years. Theres a feature that is especially critical to users but up until now it hasnt really been watched closely by manufacturers: and that is an up-to-date and extensive database of satellite and transponder data. And simply because of the nearly endless list of TV, radio and Internet services available via satellite, antenna or cable, the desire to have all of this information is completely understandable. Clearly its not enough anymore for a European antenna installer to focus only on those all too familiar ASTRA 19.2 east and HOTBIRD 13 east satellites. The same can be said for an installer in Thailand; he would have no chance to survive if he limits his expertise to just the THAICOM bird at 78.5 east. The signal analyzer that were introducing here, the SatCatcher Digipro ST Combo, is not only aimed at ambitious private end users, but also and especially at professionals. And if you want to have any chance of survival in todays market, you have to be able to quickly and precisely react to your customers wishes. Included in this is the need to be able to align to every possible receivable satellite as efficiently as possible at the installation site. In order for the installer to be able to do this he needs to be equipped with some basic tools and this is the crucial point: What use is the best and most expensive signal analyzer to an installer if a customer wants him to add another satellite to his reception system but the signal analyzer doesnt have the current transponder data stored in its memory preventing the installer from aligning the antenna? The British company SatCatcher has shown us more than once in the past that its products are up to date technologically and full of innovative ideas. With the Digipro ST Combo, that hasnt changed. When compared to previous models, not much has changed on the outside. At 240 x 105 x 75mm and weighing just 1.4kg including battery and protective cover, the Digipro ST Combo sits quite comfortably in your hand. Its weight is evenly distributed so that it doesnt want to tip over to
one side. The 3.5 inch display with its 128x64 resolution is very easy to read and is large enough to optimally display all the necessary information. The integrated 4000mAh rechargeable battery by VARTA provides the Digipro ST Combo with four hours of energy. A complete charging cycle takes just about as long. The manufacturer added an assortment of accessories that include the 9.6V power supply as well as a car charging station so that the installer can recharge the analyzer while
78
on the way to the next customer. A moisture resistant jacket is also provided to help protect the analyzer from dirt and the elements. The included carrying case lets you work with two free hands. A flip-open sun shade also makes it easier to read the LCD display in bright sunshine. To top it all off, the Digipro ST Combo comes with a USB cable for connection to a PC and an A/V cable for the video input/ output connection. The user manual is not in printed form; instead its in PDF format and can be found on the included CD. The Digipro ST Combo along with all of its accessories can be packed in a sturdy aluminum case for easy transport. It would also serve to protect the contents should the case be dropped. You cant help but notice the easy-to-read 3.5-inch LCD color display on the front panel. Four function buttons can be found underneath the display; the labeling for these buttons is displayed near the bottom of the screen. Just to the right are four more buttons in the shape of a cross that are used to work through the menus. Underneath that is a numerical keypad made up of 12 buttons as well as an ad-
ditional five function buttons off to the right. All of the buttons are legibly labeled making it very easy to operate the Digipro ST Combo. On the top of the analyzer the manufacturer placed a combination tuner input for satellite and terrestrial reception as well as an additional tuner connection for testing. The input/output jack for audio/video signals can also be found there. The SatCatcher Digipro that was sent to us for testing is for satellite and terrestrial signals (ST). There is also an SC version available for satellite and cable signals. The USB interface and the power supply input can be found on the bottom of the analyzer. This newest product from SatCatcher was manufactured with quality in mind and to be honest we didnt expect any less from this company. Even the rechargable battery, which in previous versions was permanently installed in the unit and could not be removed by the end user, is now inside its own battery compartment and can be replaced by end user. All units shipped after 1st April 2011 include this feature. SatCatcher have made the unit even more versatile for those busy installers, who are not only focussing
on tv installations, but also on video surveillance aka security installations: the newest SatCatcher not only captures DVB-S and DVB-T but also comes with an video input to use with standard cameras. SatCatcher has even added an active 12V output from the IF input port, so installers can also power a camera while making an install. To this end, the newest units shipped do now also include a F type to power jack cables (Our test sample was not yet equipped with this feature). As mentioned before, it is absolutely essential for the professional installer to have up-to-date satellite and transponder data always at his fingertips. Even an end-user would be thrilled to have this data readily available on his signal analyzer. Before we check out the technical signal measurement details of the Digipro ST Combo, we want to introduce you to two of the most important features of this analyzer. The first would be its 1GB of cache memory followed by a function to process and display NIT (network information table) data. The 1GB cache memory is the direct result of SatCatcher putting their heads together to decide the easiest way to port all of the
worldwide available satellite and transponder data to the signal analyzer. For this it was necessary to incorporate two different types of memory: work memory and main memory. The main memory is 1GB in size and can be loaded with data directly from a PC. It has room for roughly 300,000 satellite and transponder entries. As soon as a USB connection is established between the analyzer and a PC, the analyzer is recognized by MS Windows as a removable external storage device and therefore doesnt need any drivers or special software. Naturally, the user would need an up-to-date file in ASD format which is provided either directly from the manufacturer or from an authorized distributor. To update the satellite and transponder data, you simply would need to download the latest ASD file from the Internet and copy it to the removable external storage device. The SatCatcher engineers quickly recognized that it would be a big mistake to simply replace the entire database in the analyzer; undoubtedly there are quite a few end users that saved their own data in the analyzer - this data would be lost if the entire database were replaced.

TEST REPORT
DVB-c Headend
Build your DVB-c cable headend converting DVB-S to DVB-c with Topreal
Jacek Pawlowski
DVB-C is a worldwide standard that describes digital cable TV. In most cases, the DVB-C signal that arrives at the wall outlet of cable subscribers homes is of satellite or terrestrial origin that is DVB-S or DVB-T respectively. Lets focus on DVB-S. Is the signal what is transmitted as DVB-C on the cable the same signal that is received at the headends satellite dish?
Well, if we take into account the digital content: video bit stream, audio bit stream and data stream the signals are almost identical. There are small changes in the data transmitted along with video and audio (for example there are no longer transponder frequencies but rather carrier frequencies) but the real difference lies in the frequency and modulation used. To convert DVB-S to DVB-C one needs a professional DVB-S receiver and a DVB-C QAM modulator. If you want to manipulate the content of the multiplex, you additionally need a re-multiplexer. One of the manufacturers of such professional units is Topreal from China; they provided us with the basicss for a cable headend: a satellite receiver, a modulator and a re-mulitplexer. All three Topreal units are designed to fit standard 19 racks or cabinets. As you can see on the pictures, these units are not fitted with neither RCA nor SCART connectors. Such professional devices use either F or BNC connectors because these have well defined 50 Ohm impedance matching the characteristic impedance of coax cables. ited this is typical for professional units which are set once and left unattended for long periods of time. But even this was not present, rather just a mere 4-digit 7 segment LED display, not even alphanumeric one. How is the user supposed to set the unit? A look at the rear panel revealed the way. Except for the LNB input and looped output (RF-IN, RF-OUT), doubled transport stream outputs (ASI_OUT), there were video and audio outputs resembling the ones we know from regular consumer receivers. The difference was only the connector type BNC sockets were used in TP-1010. But thats not all, there was even a S-Video output. So, maybe The receiver was not especially fast in accepting our key presses but this is not a very important mentioned The feature you for this kind of unit. As we already do configure it once and then nothing. funniest thing we discovered was the game menu. It seems that the firmware for this receiver was not designed from scratch but rather adopted from the consumer receiver. Nothing wrong with this if the unit performs well. one can just connect a regular TV-set to see the menu and set the unit? Yes, that was the way. The On-Screen Display we saw on our portable tv was very similar to the OSD which is used with regular satellite receivers. The significant difference was that all the receiver settings (including the numerical ones like frequency) were possible with just 6 buttons: four arrows, MENU and OK.
TP-1010 DVB-S Receiver

The satellite receiver was a little surprise for us at the beginning. We expected that the keypad will be rather lim-

We set the TP-1010 to receive a transponder from THOR 5/6 satellite at 0.8 West (11325H, 24500). Everything worked perfectly and within a second or so the video was on. We checked what happens when we switch the power off and on again. Video and audio were back after 2-3 seconds. Thats what one expects from a professional receiver in case of a power blackout the receiver recovers quickly and gracefully as soon as the power is back on. Then, we decided to test the reception of low bit rate weak signals. TP-1010 could not lock to the very weak signals from EUTELSAT W6 on 21.6 East nor EUTELSAT W7 on 36 East. Their bit rate was from approximately 1.5 through 2.5 Ms/s. But to be fair, we must mention that our satellite analyzer was equally unable to lock to those weak signals either. Only the very modern high class receiver that we use for satellite DX-ing could lock and process these signals. In regular applications, TP-1010 will be used rather to process high bit rate strong signals from the popular satellites. After all, this is not a product aimed at the DX-er market. The TP-1010 can cooperate with any type of LNB because you enter the LOF manually. You enter only one value as this receiver is supposed to lock to only one selected transponder. For example it can be 9750 MHz (the lower LOF of a universal LNB). Also the voltage corresponding to the polarization and the presence of 22 kHz that switches oscillators in the universal LNB must be set manually by the user. We subjected the receiver to another tough test. We attenuated the input signal down to the receivers sensitivity threshold and left it for 2 hours. In this way we simulated prolonged bad weather conditions. In such circumstances, the receiver must process a lot of erroneous data. This is extremely important for the professional receiver to be able to survive such situations without software crash. And TP-1010 did survive! As soon as we increased the level, it would produce crisply clear video and audio. Our general impression of TP-1010 is that it has all the basic functions a professional receiver must have. Lack
of alphanumeric display is a small hindrance as you need a TV-set to configure the unit. Yet you should take into account that normally you configure this unit once and it stays unchanged for months or even years.
TP-1600 QAm modulator

With this unit there was no surprise. The TP-1600 QAM modulator has a 2-line alphanumeric LCD display with backlit. This is very typical for head end equipment. Except for the LCD, there are six buttons and eight status LEDs. The rear panel is quite ascetic transport stream input, DVB-C signal output, LAN interface and ON/OFF power switch. However, Topreal also offers more enhanced versions. If you wish, instead of transport stream ASI input, they can embed a DVB-S, DVB-T or DVB-C tuner with corresponding input signal connector. However, in its basic version, TP-1600 takes the transport stream supplied from a professional receiver or an encoder and modulates it onto a carrier. All QAM modes are available (16/32/64/128/256 QAM ) in accordance with ITU-T J.83 Annex A. We decided to set it up without referring to the operating manual and everything went smoothly. User interface was really simple and straightforward everybody who understands the parameters of QAM modulation will set the unit in no time. You just enter the carrier frequency, QAM mode and symbol rate. We checked the unit in the same way as the receiver to find out if it can recover after a power cut. As expected everything went OK. After about 30 seconds we noticed the signal again. Neither the receiver nor the modulator required any action from the user to resume operation. But what about the strength and quality of the output signal? The channel power can be set from 107 through to 120 dBV. We measured it for the settings of 120 dBV and our meter showed us 119 dBV. Very good accuracy of the settings. Signal quality was nothing but perfect. We did the measurement for 64
6
1. carrier frequency set to 474 mHz in TP-1600 QAm modulator 2. TP-1600 output was set to 120 dBV; our meter measures almost exactly the same 3. TP-1600 output signal has very high modulation Error Ratio and noise margin as high as 11 dB for 64 QAm 4. constellation diagram of DVB-c 64 QAm signal also shows its splendid signal-tonoise performance 5. TP-1600 set to the most demanding 256 QAm modulation mode; as expected, noise margin is lower than for 64 QAm but mER is as good as it was before 6. constellation diagram for the 256 QAm mode is even more picturesque than the one for 64 QAm
QAM and 256 QAM. Lower QAM modes are rather not used due to low bandwidth efficiency and 256 QAM is the highest possible mode according to the standard. Both measurements showed absolutely to noise course the perfect noise carrier Of margin performance.

all the bits are sent serially rather than in parallel. The serial interface is prevailing in todays world as it uses simple coax cables fitted with BNC connectors. When we combine con-
photos, such channel name is displayed when the DVB-C signal is processed by our signal analyzer. The menu structure of
transponder. In most cases, you would prefer to compose your ent multiplex with or chaneven nels originating from differtransponders different sources (satellite, terrestrial, A/V players and alike). For that purpose you need a multiplexer. By the way, the correct name would be re-multiplexer rather than multiplexer. In fact, Topreal uses the word re-multiplexer in their user manual, only on the unit itself one can read multiplexer. In the course of this report, we will stick to its proper name: TP-1200 Remultiplexer. TP-1200 accepts up to 8 transport stream inputs and lets the users select whatever they want from the input data and compose one output transport stream. For example, we can connect eight TP-1010 receivers to the remultiplexer, each tuned to a different transponder/satellite. Then, we can pick one or more programs (TV or radio
TP-1200 is much more complex as compared to TP-1010 or TP-1600 but this is obvious. Moreover, you need to know quite something about the transport streams, tables and the process of multiplexing. We did not have the software to do the settings from a PC via LAN connection. Definitely, this would be a much more convenient way of setting up 8 inputs and 1 output of TP-1200. A little annoying feature Of course, we can also change the PIDs for example the video or audio PID of a channel. Such PID re-mapping may be necessary if we have a conflict the same PIDs are used by channels in different input transport streams. TP-1200 allows you to that we would suggest to change is the keyboard lock. Upon powering up, the keyboard is locked and you need to press left arrow, right arrow and left arrow again to unlock it. Thats still OK but if you hesitate a few seconds when doing a setting in the menu, the firmware will lock the keyboard again. You tent from different transport streams, we also need to update the data tables that are included in the transport stream. These tables describe the content of the stream. TP-1600 can produce or update the following tables: Program Association Table (PAT), Program Map Table (PMT), Service Description Table (SDT) and Network Information Table (NIT).
was lower for 256 QAM but this is simply physics and with every modulator we would get exactly the same outcome. The constellation diagrams confirmed what our MER and C/N measurements told us before about the signal. It was extremely clean almost no noise at all. We observed for a longer period the BBC World channel received with TP-1010 from THOR 5/6 on 0.8 West and remodulated to QAM with TP-1600. We did not notice any single glitch. Everything was working flawlessly. Also the bad weather test (see the receiver chapter) lasting for 2 hours did not make the modulator software crash. It
proved the robustness of its design.
TP-1200 Re-multiplexer
If you use only a professional receiver and a QAM modulator, the only possibility you have is to retransmit either all or some of the
channels) from every transponder and compose our own transport stream. This transport stream will be available on the TP-1600s output. All transport stream interfaces: input and output ones comply to ASI format. ASI is Asynchronous Serial Interface which means that
rename the channels too. You probably wont do that very often as the channel names are also trade marks, but such possibility exists. To test it, we changed the name of the 4funTV channel transmitted via HOTBIRD on 13 East at 10719V, 27500 to TSI1 channel. As you may see on one of the included
have to repeat everything from the very beginning. If you are very familiar with the re-multiplexer you can do all the settings fast enough but for the first-time user this is somewhat irritating. Similarly to the two previous units, TP-1200 remembered all the settings after power failure and restored everything without any human interaction.
ease of use are probably not the most important parameters. The performance and the price must be right. All units passed the tests we ran without any single problem. The trio was handling power failures gracefully and did not hang up even when the incoming signal was full of errors. Thats something that really counts in the head end equipment. Performance of the QAM modulator was very good indeed. Perhaps, the sensitivity of the receiver could be improved a little.
conclusion
Although one can imagine more functions for the cable head end (like scrambling the content or VOD), the three components described above are the most fundamental devices you will consider when collecting the equipment for a cable head end. It is evident that they were designed as separate units rather than as a family, as they do not match in external design nor menu structure. However, for the professional user, the uniform style and

Jason Wu apresenta uma viso geral de seus clientes: So principalmente operadores profissionais por cabo que precisam de configurar e manter redes por cabo. Para estes casos necessrio ter analisadores de sinais profissionais. obvio que isto levanta a questo de saber porque a DEVISER comeou a produzir analisadores de sinais de satlite. No Foi h muito tempo que expandimos para os cabos de fibra ptica, comenta Jason Wu, a nica coisa que faltava era a recepo por satlite. Considerando que a DEVISER tem mais de 20 anos de experincia neste mercado, no deve ser nenhuma surpresa que dos seus 260 funcionrios, 85 deles so engenheiros. Divididos em quatro equipas R&D diferentes, estes engenheiros altamente qualificados esto constantemente a trabalhar em
melhorias para os seus analisadores e sobre novos recursos do produto, bem como no desenvolvimento de novos produtos como os novos analisadores de Sinais por satlite. O sucesso destes engenheiros pode ser visto na sua produo e nos nmeros de vendas.

cOmPANY REPORT on the Internet
Signal Analyzer manufacturer DEVISER, china

In October 2010, DEVISER began developing their first satellite signal analyzers. The result of this effort can already be found on store shelves: the basic S20 model for DVB-S satellite signal measurements. In July 2011 the follow-up model with a DVB-S2 tuner will appear and by October 2011 DEVISER is planning on a high-end S7000 model. How does a company like DEVISER end up producing satellite signal analyzers? TELE-satellite paid a visit to the company in Tianjin, a large seaport located on the Chinese east coast. The high-speed train traveled at 330 km/h and brought us from the brand new Beijing South train station to the equally brand new Tianjin train station. Tianjin is a city with more than 10 million inhabitants and is home to many different industrial companies. Surprisingly, DEVISER is one of the oldest firms in Tianjin. It was founded under the name DELY back in 1990 by Zhong Changgan, an aircraft engineer. He explains to us: Back then the first cable TV networks were being built up but there were no signal analyzers this available. opportunity Chinas of Zhong and first cable Changgan founded recognized President Zhong Changgan, while 10% are for fiber optic cable and 5% are for telecommunications. The remaining 5% are expected to be made up of the newly started Sales satellite Director signal Overanalyzers. seas Markets Jason Wu explains to us where DEVISER delivers its prod-
manufacturer
TV analyzers. This product group still makes up most of their sales today. 80% of our signal analyzers are for cable TV, lists founder and
ucts: 50% are shipped to the USA, 15% each goes to Europe and India with the remaining 20% finding their way to South Korea and other Southeast Asian countries. According to Jason Wu, We only use the name DEVISER for our exports. Who actually uses DEVISERs products? Jason Wu gives an overview of their customers: It is primarily professional cable operators that need to set up and maintain large cable networks. You need professional signal analyzers for that. Of course this brings up the question as to why DEVISER began producing satellite signal analyzers. Not too long ago we expanded into fiber optic cable, comments Jason Wu, the only thing missing was satellite reception. Considering that DE-
VISER has more than 20 years experience in this market, it should come as no surprise that of their 260 employees, 85 of them are engineers. Divided into four different R&D teams, these highly neers working qualified are on engiconstantly improve-
in sales of 20%, says Sales Director Overseas Markets Jason Wu. He bases this in part due to the new satellite signal analyzer sector: Were expecting, for example, that the new S20 satellite signal analyzer will net us sales of about 15,000 units for the next three years and from the high-end S7000 model about 500 units per year. Jason Wu already knows who wants to buy these analyzers: We already have quite a few preorders. One customer in South America has placed an order for one thousand units and our distributors in Europe and India are in the process of forwarding orders to us. The confidence in the experience and expertise of the DEVISER engineers is so high that units are being sold before they
are even manufactured. Even so, DEVISER is naturally open to additional buyers. Distributors who have contact with satellite installers and local cable operators should send me an e-mail, suggests Jason Wu who is responsible for product exports. If you want to meet Jason Wu in person, you can find him and DEVISERs Chief Engineer Cao Yuliang at a number of different trade shows such as CABSAT (Dubai), CCBN (Beijing), Cable SCaT Tec (Mumbai),
ments to their analyzers and on new product features as well as new product satellite ers. The success of these engineers can be seen in the production and sales numbers. In our first year 1990 we produced roughly 100 units, remembers DEVISER founder Zhong Changgan, in 2010 we reached sales of 30,000 units. This resulted is sales of about US$ 20 million for 2010. For 2011 we are expecting in increase development signal analyzsuch as the brand new

Receptor do fabricante AmIKO, Hungria
como que um Novo Receptor de marcaSurge

Na ltima edio da TELE-satlite introduzimos o primeiro receptor com Dual Boot da Amiko: o usurio pode escolher que software operacional pretende usar no seu receptor. Isto uma inovao notvel na medida em que separa o hardware (o prprio receptor), a partir do software (para accionar o receptor). Mas temos algo mais: a Spark colocou pela primeira vez ao servio de qualquer tipo de receptor. Isto no s fornece as actualizaes automticas no receptor, como tambm permite que o fabricante consiga comunicar directamente com o usurio final. As aplicaes para esta nova tecnologia parecem ser muitas, tantas que realmente no se sabem ainda at que ponto isto pode chegar. Mas quem est por detrs da Amiko? Numa recente zona nordeste industrial na capital da Hungria em Budapeste, aqui que a Amiko tem a sua casa. constituda por um edifcio administrativo e um armazm anexo. A Amiko envia deste local os seus receptores para pases da Europa Central. A Amiko mudou-se para este novo edifcio apenas no final de 2010, anteriormente a Amiko estava localizada no centro de Budapeste. Os fundadores da Amiko j se conhecem h algum tempo: Ns nos conhecemos desde 1995, recorda o Gerente Financeiro Zsolt Harangi. Ambos estavam envolvidos na indstria de satlite mas em diferentes empresas. Naquela poca ainda era tudo feito com tecnologia analgica, recorda Jzsef Zsimn. Foi ento que comeou a era digital e num determinado momento os dois sentiram a hora certa de fazer as coisas com as suas prprias mos. Comeamos com quatro funcionrios, explica Jzsef Zsimn. Actualmente, tem 14 funcionrios na sua

sede em Budapeste. As vendas tm expandido incluindo clientes em pases vizinhos, onde tambm encontrar o restante dos trabalhadores da Amiko: 17 no escritrio de vendas Checo, oito na Romnia, quatro na Srvia, assim como mais seis em escritrios de vendas locais na Hungria. E no vamos esquecer os empregados na linha de produo dos receptores. Como a produo no contnua, o nmero de funcionrios varia entre 20 a 40. Quando abrimos a empresa, os dois parceiros estavam focados para serem retalhista de satlite. Eles distriburam receptores digitais de uma variedade de fabricantes, bem como tudo o que um instalador precisa: LNBs, antenas parablicas, comuta-

dores e cabo. Esta empresa ainda faz actualmente parte de suas vendas. Em 2010, 50% das nossas vendas foram para o mercado retalhista com os outros 50% constitudos pelo receptor de nossa prpria marca, explica o Gerente Financeiro Zsolt Harangi. Para 2011 o quadro bem diferente: Esperamos que este ano o nosso receptor de marca far um aumento de 70% das nossas vendas no mercado retalhista, enquanto que o nosso
mercado ir cair para 30%, comenta Zsolt Harangi. A marca Amiko recente. Explica Jzsef Zsimn: Em 2010, fundamos duas marcas: Amiko para o mercado retalhista e SYNAPS para as operadoras. SYNAPS oferece receptores DVB-C e DVB-T para o cabo e provedores de programao. A Amiko uma marca para o mercado retalhista. Estamos a trabalhar muito prximo com a FULAN na China. Eles fornecem-nos
a maioria dos componentes para o nosso receptor , explica o Gerente de Marketing Jzsef Zsimn. Os receptores so montados numa linha de produo em Budapeste. Temos conseguido uma excelente qualidade de nossa produo, informa, Os componentes da Fulan so de alta qualidade e a nossa equipa de qualidade inspecciona tudo de novo. Ainda mais importante do que ter a sua prpria linha de produo e a

sua prpria marca de receptores ter a confiana do cliente. Nos seus largos anos de experincia os dois proprietrios j tinham visto muita coisa acontecer: os fornecedores mudavam a sua produo para outros lugares e os clientes contactavam o revendedor e reclamam porque razes no conseguiam mais obter peas ou servio de assistncia. Isto no pode acontecer com os nossos produtos, comenta Jzsef Zsimn Temos um armazm totalmente abastecido de peas de reposio a partir do qual podemos entregar qualquer componente necessrio para cada receptor de nossos clientes. Ns vamos conseguir fazer isto nos prximos anos. Se controlar a sua prpria linha de produo, consegue fazer declaraes como esta. Mas isto foi apenas uma das razes pelas quais a Amiko decidiu produzir os seus prprios produtos. Por pura coincidncia, Jzsef Zsimn recebeu um telefonema naquele momento durante a nossa entrevista: os tcnicos da Amiko encontraram um bug na nova verso de software e esta informao foi imediatamente transmitida ao fornecedor de componentes da Fulan na China. So duas horas da tarde em Budapeste e em poucos minutos receberam uma resposta da China: Ns estamos trabalhando nisso. Jzsef Zsimn olha para cima a

partir de seu telefone celular: Isto exactamente o que faz com que a nossa cooperao com a Fulan seja to-perfeita: a reaco imediata a um problema apesar da diferena horria de seis horas com a China Amiko e Fulan so duas empresas que so perfeitas uma para a outra, aqui a produo energtica e a distribuio com a fabricao de componentes naquele local. Jzsef Zsimn v tudo com realismo: Encontramo-nos numa forte concorrncia com outros provedores, mas sobre o sucesso a longo prazo s ser para quem oferecer os melhores produtos e oferecer o melhor servio. De acordo com Jzsef Zsimn, a deciso sobre o receptor no do cliente, mas sim com o instalador ou revendedor: se usarem os seus prprios receptores os instaladores e revendedores podem recomendar uma marca especfica que fornece o melhor servio. Isto no ajuda a situao se um cliente voltar com queixas aps apenas um curto perodo. Jzsef Zsimn diz que a exactido de suas declaraes est comprovada pela simples consistncia, o crescimento a curto prazo desta empresa jovem chamada Amiko. Este aumento est acima de tudo, o resultado do desenvolvimento acelerado das vendas de receptores Amiko. A distribuio geogrfica das vendas especialmente interessante. Curiosamente o mercado de origem na Hungria no o maior, de facto, so cerca de 20%, a Repblica Checa, Eslovquia e Romnia esto no topo com a Hungria em quarto lugar em cerca de 15%. O facto de a Amiko estar to bem colocada nestes pases em grande parte devido sua poltica comercial activa: Ns temos escritrios de vendas na Repblica Checa, Romnia, Srvia e at mesmo aqui na Hungria, explica Jzsef Zsimn porque as vendas so to boas nestes pases. Em outros pases da Europa Central a Amiko tem uma relao muito apertada com os grossistas. Jzsef Zsimn apresenta a listagem: Isto inclui a Bulgria, Crocia, Bsnia Herzegovina &, Eslovquia, Grcia, Eslovnia, bem como os trs estados Blticos. E isto no tudo: Em 2011 vamos

cOmPANY REPORT on the Internet
Receiver manufacturer AmIKO, Hungary

In the last issue of TELEsatellite we introduced the first Dual Boot receiver from AMIKO: the user can choose which operating software to use in his receiver. This is a remarkable innovation in that it separates the hardware (the receiver itself) from the software (used to operate the receiver). But theres more: Spark was put into service for the first time with any receiver. This not only provides for automatic receiver updates but it also allows the manufacturer to directly communicate with the end user. The applications for this new technology appear to be numerous; its really not known as yet how far reaching this can be. But whos behind AMIKO? In a newly developed industrial zone northeast of Hungarys capital Budapest, AMIKO has its home. It consists of an administration building and an attached warehouse. AMIKO ships its receivers from here to countries in central Europe. AMIKO moved into this brand new building only at the end of 2010; before that AMIKO was located in downtown Budapest. AMIKOs founders have known each other for quite some time: We met back in 1995, remembers Financial Manager Zsolt Harangi. They were both involved in the satellite industry with different companies. Back then it was all still analog technology, recalls Jzsef Zsimn. Then the digital age began and at some point the two of them felt the time was right to take things into their own hands. We started with four employees, explains Jzsef Zsimn. Today there are 14 employees in their Budapest office. Their sales have expanded to include customers in neighboring countries where youll also find the remainder of AMIKOs employees: 17 in the Czech sales office, eight in Romania, four in Serbia as well as six more in local sales offices in Hungary. And lets not forget the employees in the receiver production line. Since production is not continuous, the number of employees varies between 20 and 40. When the business first started, the two partners focused on being a satellite wholesaler. They distributed digital receivers from a va-
riety of manufacturers as well as everything else an installer needs: LNBs, dishes, multiswitches and cable. This business still makes up a part of their sales today. In 2010 50% of our sales were wholesale with the other 50% consisting of our own receiver brands, explains Financial Manager Zsolt Harangi. For 2011 though the picture looks quite different: We expect for the current year that our receiver brands will make up 70% of our sales while our wholesale business will drop to
30%, comments Zsolt Harangi. The AMIKO brand name is very new. Jzsef Zsimn explains, In 2010 we founded two brand names: AMIKO for retail and SYNAPS for operators. SYNAPS offers DVB-C and DVB-T receivers for cable and other programming providers. AMIKO is a brand name for the retail market. We are working very close together with FULAN in China. They provide us with most of our receiver components, explains Marketing Manager Jzsef Zsimn. The receivers are assembled on a production line in Budapest. We have achieved excellent quality in our production, he continues, The components from FULAN are already of the highest quality and our own quality assurance team checks it all once again. Even more important with having your own production line and your own receiver brand is having the customer rely on you. In their many years of experience the two owners have seen it all before: suppliers shifted their production elsewhere and customers would contact the dealer and complain why they cant get any spare parts or service anymore. This cant happen with our products, comments Jzsef Zsimn, We have a fully
stocked spare parts warehouse from which we can deliver any possible component for every receiver to our customers. Well be able to do this for years to come. If you control your own production line, you can make statements like that. But this was only one of the reasons why AMIKO decided to produce their own products. By sheer coincidence, Jzsef Zsimn received a telephone call at that very moment in our interview: the AMIKO technicians found a software bug in the newest version and immediately forwarded this information to the component provider FULAN in China. Its 2PM in Budapest and within minutes an answer came from China: Were working on it. Jzsef Zsimn looks up from his mobile telephone: This is exactly what makes our cooperation with FULAN so perfect: immediate reaction to a problem despite the six-hour time difference with China! AMIKO and FULAN are two companies that are perfect for each other; energetic production and distribution here with component manufacturing there. Jzsef Zsimn sees it all realistically: We find ourselves in stiff competition with other providers but over the long term success will only be for those who
provide the best products and offer the best service. According to Jzsef Zsimn, the decision on what receiver the customer uses doesnt rest with the customer but rather with the installer or dealer: just from using the receivers themselves, installers and dealers can recommend a specific brand that provides the best service. It doesnt help the situation if a customer comes back with complaints after only a short time. Jzsef Zsimn says that the accuracy of his statements is proven simply by the consistent, short-term growth of his young company AMIKO. This increase is above all the result of the speedy development of AMIKO receiver sales. The geographical distribution of these sales is especially interesting. Oddly enough the home market in Hungary is not the biggest; in fact, at about 20%, The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania are at the top with Hungary in fourth place at about 15%. The fact that AMIKO is so well placed in these countries is due in large part to their active business policy: We have sales offices in The Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia and even here in Hungary, explains Jzsef Zsimn why sales
are so good in these countries. In other central European countries AMIKO has very tight relationships with wholesalers. Jzsef Zsimn lists them: This includes Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovakia, Greece, Slovenia as well as the three Baltic states. And thats not all: In 2011 well be begin distribution in the Ukraine with a local dealer there and in 2012 we plan to go into Albania. AMIKO is continuously in expansion mode. But we werent only interested in how AMIKO is spread out geographically; we also wanted to know what they have planned for their receivers. This was a question that Jzsef Zsimn was only too happy to answer: In the third quarter the AMIKO ALIEN.2 will appear with an even more powerful chipset. Aside from that, we are always expanding our receiver software with new features. Jzsef Zsimn highlights these features for us that should appear later this year: Web browser, WiFi, Flash Support, NTFS, USB Hub and Messaging. Owners of AMIKO ALIEN receivers should be happy; these new features will appear on their own in their receivers thanks to the automatic software update feature.

Podemos encontrar a unidade de produo com 16 mil metros quadrados na cidade de Ain El Bia. Esta cidade, com 20.000 habitantes, est localizada a cerca de 35 km a leste da segunda maior cidade da Arglia: Oran, com cerca de 1,6 milhes de pessoas. O porto Port Arzew fica ao lado de Ain El Bia, local onde a petrolfera nacional da Arglia Sonatrach carrega os seus petroleiros. Esta a primeira razo pela qual Slimane Ait Yala est confiante que as antenas parablicas que ele produz sero bem sucedidas no mercado de exportao: A Arglia um pas produtor de petrleo, explica, isto significa que os custos de energia na Arglia so muito baixos. E segue imediatamente com uma segunda razo: Os salrios na Arglia tambm so muito baixos, o salrio mnimo oficial de cerca de 100 Euros . Fora isso, o metal necessrio para a sua produo das antenas parablicas produzido domesticamente. Se juntar-
mos todos estes motivos o suficiente para servir de argumento para a exportao de suas antenas parablicas e realmente uma jogada inteligente. Slimane Ait Yala: Esteva na feira de Canto no sul da China e descobri que os nossos preos so competitivos. E tem ainda outra razo: BYA no uma empresa de pequeno porte, porque produzem alguns outros produtos e portanto tm muito de experincia como fabricante. BYA foi fundada em 1993. Naquela
poca, ainda existia a Thomson na Frana e BYA abriu portas com uma linha de montagem de televisores Thomson.

The region is served by metro line 9 and as soon as you have climbed the stairs out of Prazhskaya station youre bang in the middle of a parking lot belonging to Electronics Paradise, the self-proclaimed largest shopping centre in Moscows south. Several hundreds of small shops are dispersed across three storeys, including some 40 dealers selling satellite components.
Sergey Kazimirovich is one of them with his TVSat-Real shop. As a matter of fact, were talking about two different companies here, he reveals. Our second business is registered under the name 1000 Channels and in addition to that we run a shop in another shopping mall as well. Incidentally, both companies have websites on the Internet at www.tvsat-real.ru www.1000kanalov.ru. and

Right now Sergeys business is one of the smallest distributors: Satellite products only account for 2% of our turnover, Sergey states. But thanks to continuing advertising campaigns this is set to change. And who knows, one day the smallest satellite distributor might be right up there with the largest.

HDTV copyright management
cI+ / HD+
Whats the big deal? Is there a hidden agenda? Whats the difference between the two?
Thomas Haring
It goes without saying that many end users actually use those features, burn their own DVDs and pass them on to others a fact that truly annoys copyright owners who in turn exert pressure on content providers. Content providers are also faced with pressure from their advertising clients who argue that owners of PVR receivers have become a virtually irrelevant target group. So all players on the providing end of the chain agreed on one thing: Something had to change! The introduction of HDTV channels presented the perfect occasion to act. sure paid for content is decrypted at the customers end. A so-called CI module (a PCMCIA module as we know it from the PC world) is used in combination with a valid smartcard to decrypt the digital stream received via satellite, cable or antenna. The CI module needs to be inserted into the receivers CI slot and together with a smartcard issued by the content provider becomes the access point for pay TV reception. With a valid smartcard and a CI module that is compatible with the encryption system implemented by the provider, pay TV content is encrypted and appears on the screen of authorised subscribers. If one of these conditions is not met, however, all you see is a blank screen. There are no further control mechanisms in place for pay TV providers with the conventional CI standard. The DVB Consortium has been working on a revised CI version for years to offer new and more restrictive control mechanisms for pay TV providers the name they chose was CI 2.0, but the project got stuck on a treadmill and some providers as well as industry representatives finally took a decision to develop their own system: This is how the CI+ standard came about with CAM manufacturers Neotion and SmarDTV as well as electronics giants Panasonic, Philips, Samsung and Sony being the driving forces behind that move. Whats new with CI+? What are the benefits and drawbacks for end users? Lets begin with a positive note: CI+ is fully based on the CI standard, which means it does not establish a new standard but rather adds features to an existing one. Those extra features, on the
Is CI+ a must have for new receivers? This is a question that bothers end users and manufacturers alike, even though for different reasons. Users want to know whether or not it makes sense to go out and purchase one of the new CI+ models on shelves everywhere, while for manufacturers it all boils down to simple maths: Can I make money with CI+ receivers? The CI+ initiative is driven by content providers. Film studios and TV channels have been faced with illegal content distribution (unauthorised DVD copying, illegal pay TV reception, etc.) for some time, as well as with gradually eroding advertising revenue. The advent of PVR receivers further accelerated that trend as these devices allow lossless storing of content on internal or external storage media. Content can then easily be burnt on DVD, for example. Whats more, PVR receivers usually come with a time-shift viewing feature which in turn means commercial breaks can be conveniently skipped.
When digital television via satellite, cable and antenna (DVB-S, DVB-C and DVB-T) was launched the DVB Consortium (an association of more than 270 channels, manufacturers, pay TV providers and representatives from industry) at the same time introduced the CI standard. It takes care of copyright protection (rights management) and makes

other hand, include numerous restrictions for users. The whole sphere of encryption was left untouched, but with CI+ so-called usage rule information (URI) can be added to the DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T datastream. CI+ receivers are able (more precisely: must be able) to recognise URI and follow its rules accordingly. The following restrictions can be imposed with CI+: digital recording of received content can be totally restricted digital recording of received content can be partially restricted (restrictions for certain events, channels, etc.) rewinding and fast forwarding of recorded content can by restricted during playback time-shift viewing can be restricted the Macrovision copy protection signal can be activated at the euroscart output of the receiver recorded content can be paired to a receiver so that it can only be played back on that particular device content providers are able to put receivers out of operation after unauthorised changes to the operating system have been made be a user CI+ invariably decrypts only one event at a time it is not possible to decrypt two events simultaneously HD content can only be put out to HDCP compatible devices as well as the following most significant modifications: the datastream as received from the provider is decrypted by the CI+ module, but encrypted again immediately so that the data transmitted through a USB, Firewire or any other data interface is encrypted and therefore cannot be saved on DVD, for example. How should end users react to CI+? First and foremost the question is one of personal necessity. You dont receive pay TV or HDTV and have no intention of subscribing in future? In that case
you couldnt care less about CI+. Content that is currently free-to-air will most probably stay that way. Hardly a channel could afford changing completely from FTA to CI+ without causing uproar. It can be assumed that SD offerings will stay unencrypted, while new HD channels will happily implement the CI+ standard. So even if you are perfectly satisfied with your personal status quo, you may want to upgrade your equipment to HD standard in future, which is when you might be faced with CI+. Subscribers of pay TV need not waste too many thoughts on CI+, since they use provider-supplied set-top boxes in most cases anyway. Is an old CI receiver compatible with CI+? Is there any point in buying a non-CI+ receiver anymore? As mentioned above, CI+ is based on the conventional CI standard, which is why chances are many CI receivers can be upgraded to CI+ compatibility with new software. Some manufacturers even provide firmware updates to add CI+ to their receivers. We should not fail to emphasise that CI+ has absolutely nothing to with the encryption of the DVB datastream. Providers may select an encryption system of their choosing irrespective of whether or not they implement CI+. The same is true for DVB-S2, SVB-C2 or DVB-T2, all of which are independent of any CI+ features. This means that a CI+ receiver can handle all DVB formats depending on the built-in tuner(s). So whats the connection with HD+? HD+ is a subsidiary of European satellite operator SES Astra and focuses on marketing high-definition TV. The company is currently active only in Germany and is the legal successor of the

failed Entavio project, which had been launched initially by SES Astra as a new TV platform. At the moment, the HD+ platform carries the HD channels of major German commercial networks (RTL HD, RTL II HD, VOX HD, Pro7 HD, Sat.1 HD, Kabel1 HD) as well as special interest channels six HD and Sport1 HD. Austria and Switzerland are next on the expansion map of HD+ and will be covered shortly, while in future SES Astra hopes to offer HD+ in other countries as well. From a technical perspective, HD+ is mainly based on dedicated HD+ receivers with built-in smartcard reader. HD receivers that are compatible with CI+, may also be used for receiving HD+ channels. CI+ and HD+ are frequently mentioned in the same breath, even though all they really share is the + symbol in their names. What is true, however, is the fact that HD+ was one of the first major platforms to use CI+. However, features such as automatic channel list management and channel list updates (see Jaeger HD+ 2011 test report in TELE-satellite 12-01/2011) are HD+ features that have nothing to do with CI+.
What the future holds
In many cases, HDTV channels will select an encryption standard that blocks the distribution of received content. As CI+ is one such technology it will gain further ground in the HDTV segment. European viewers in particular will be forced to look at this topic one way or the other.

Tuner Secrets
What's inside a silicon tuner?

Jacek Pawlowski
a silicon tuner is a significant technological improvement that finds its way into nearly every new product in digital TV equipment
It is not only cheaper and much smaller but guarantees better performance if applied correctly - see our Feature Story in TELE-satellite 02-03/2011. Does this integrated circuit (which a silicon tuner in fact is) have innovative internal architecture that makes all this possible? Well, from the top level perspective, a silicon tuner has a rather typical front end architecture similar to a modern radio circuit. It is called the direct conversion or zero IF architecture and is quite popular especially in digital communication circuits. But, as usually, the devil is in the details. Lets take as an example the simplified architecture of the AT810 chip of company Abilis Systems - see Figure 1. AT810 is a terrestrial TV tuner compatible with DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T, CMMB and DTMB/GB 20600-2006 standards. The first stage of AT810 is a relatively low gain radio frequency (RF) amplifier followed by a tracking bandpass filter. The filter attenuates the interfering signals originating for example from GSM, or WiFi devices by about 60 dB. Thats a lot. The filter is automatically programmed by the on-board microprocessor depending on the currently selected TV channel. The RF amplifier, except for amplifying the signal by approximately 20 dB, provides additionally a loopthrough output what is very desirable in double tuner TV receivers. For the best performance of the TV tuner, this amplifier not only must have a very low noise coefficient but it must be able to handle large signals without entering into the non-linear region of its characteristics. Technical people say that such amplifier has a large dynamic range.
After the RF amplifier and the bandpass filter we have the essence of a direct conversion circuit: two balanced mixers fed with local oscillator signals of the same frequency but shifted by 90. It is sometimes said that those mixers are fed with sine and cosine signals because the cosine waveform is identical to the sine shifted by 90. The frequency of the local oscillator (LO) should be equal to the frequency of the received TV channel. In this way, at the outputs of the mixers, we get the modulating signal shifted in phase by 90. Such signals are called the I and Q vectors. The letters come from the In-phase and Quadrature terms. I and Q signals are then amplified and unwanted products of the signal conversion are removed in the low pass filters located in both signal paths. The filters need to be very sharp because otherwise we would get interference from the adjacent signals. After the filters, there are the amplifiers of variable gain that enable automatic gain control (AGC). Thanks to the AGC, both weak and strong input signals produce similar signal level at the output of AT810. If the signal is weak, the gain of the amplifiers is set high, and if the signal is strong, the gain is set low. Once we have I and Q signals, the next step is to convert them to digital form in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). However, the ADCs are part of a digital signal processor not the part of a silicon tuner. Having digital-
ized I and Q vectors, we can do all the magic reserved for digital signal processing like: very good filtering, demodulation, moving from time domain to frequency domain (with the help of Fast Fourier Transform) and much more. Perhaps it will be a surprise for some of the readers to learn that with the digitalized I and Q signals, we can quite simply demodulate also analog TV signals (classical AM modulation). However, the very first step must be to achieve good quality I and Q signals. And this good quality was until recently posing real problems for the chip manufacturers. Except for having very good initial RF amplifier, we also need very good mixers. By very good, we again mean sub-circuits of high dynamic range. But thats not all. Both mixers and all the sub-circuits after them: amplifiers, low pass filters and AGC amplifiers must be identical in I and Q path. Even a small difference in gains or a small phase shift between them would ruin the performance of the direct conversion circuit. Such symmetry requires a very well controlled chip manufacturing process and is not so easy to achieve. Fortunately, the engineers from Abilis like their colleagues from a couple of other competitive companies succeeded in that. Thanks to them, the digital TV receiver designers got a new building blocks silicon tuners - that enable them to develop better, smaller and cheaper settop-boxes.

How many SD/HD channels can we get from one transponder?

and the bit rate. The Y axis scale has been chosen so that you can easily calculate the number of channels. So the scale has either a unit of 4 Mb/ sec or 10 Mb/s. Use the first graph to find a number of SD MPEG channels transmitted via DVB-S transponder. On X axis find the point equal to the transponder symbol rate and draw a vertical line upwards until it crosses the line corresponding with transponder FEC. From the crossing point, move horizontally towards Y axis to find the value of the bit rate that can be achieved for that symbol rate and FEC. Next count how many 4 Mb/ sec steps you can make from zero to the found bit rate. This is the number of good quality SD channels encoded with MPEG-2 you can transmit via the DVB-S transponder. For example if SR=27.5 MS/sec and FEC=3/4, you will get over 40 Mb/sec what corresponds to 10 good quality SD channels. The second graph lets you calculate how many HD channels you can send via the same DVB-S transponder. Please mind that now we assume MPEG-4 compression. If this is still MPEG-2, the number of channels will be twice as low. In the same example as
Everybody who ever studied satellite charts with transponder data knows that the symbol rate of a transponder is one of its most important parameters. And thats not only because you need to know it to set the data in manual channel search in your receiver. Symbol rate directly affects the amount of useful data that can be transmitted via a transponder. The higher it is, the more data can be sent. More data means more TV and radio channels.
But can you exactly tell how many TV channels one can send through a transponder having a given symbol rate? Well, the exact answer is: no, we can not tell it with absolute exactness, but we can estimate the number of channels with reasonable accuracy. Why is that so? The main reason is: we can not say precisely how many bits per second will be needed for a given channel. Channel bit rate changes depending on how dynamic its content is. Moreover, the DVB standard allows the service providers to choose between different video resolutions and different MPEG compression levels. If you have a good satellite signal analyzer, you can check for yourself that SDTV channel have average bit rates ranging from 1.5 Mb/sec to 6 Mb/sec (peaking even to 7 Mb/sec). Of course, the quality of a channel transmitted with 1.5 or 2 Mb/sec is very poor the picture is foggy and sometimes you can notice compression artifacts. On the other hand, high quality SD channels like for example ZDF channel on ASTRA 19.2 E, have so good picture quality that when received with a set-top-box with an upscaler, you have the impression it is an HD channel. To achieve this, you need about 6 Mb/sec video bit rate. The majority of the channels with acceptable quality have 3.5-4 Mb/sec video bit rate. Because audio occupies usually 0.256 Mb/sec, one can assume that on the average 4 Mb/sec is need for a good (but not the best) quality SDTV channel. This is true for MPEG-2 compression which is still in use for the vast majority of SD channels. But what about HDTV channels? Well, they need much more bits per seconds. One can assume about 15-20 Mb/sec for a HD channel compressed with classical MPEG-2 but only 10 Mb/sec if more modern H.264 (MPEG-4) is used. More and more HD channels move from MPEG-2 compression to MPEG-4. You know, the bandwidth is costly... Once that we did the assumption on the required bit rate for an MPEG-2 SD channel and MPEH-4 HD channel (4 and 10 Mb/sec respectively), we can calculate how many channels one can send through a transponder of a given symbol rate. Except for the symbol rate, we need to take into account if it is DVB-S or DVB-S2 and what is the FEC value. The higher the FEC, the more efficient transmission, i.e. the higher usable bit rate for a given symbol rate. In the three graphs, you can see the relationship between transponder symbol rate, FEC

Note: 4 Mb/sec = 1 MPEG-2 SD channel of good quality
56,0 52,0 48,0 44,0 40,0
above, you will find that 4 HD channels are possible with this transponder. But what about DVB-S2? It becomes more and more popular. We prepared the third graph, this time only for the HD channels (but you can multiply the result by 2.5 to get the number of MPEG-2 SD channels). We have chosen only the most popular combinations of modulation type (QPSK/8PSK) and FEC values. Drawing all possible combinations would make the graphs completely unreadable. For the same exemplary symbol 30,0 rate 27.5 Ms/sec, we can use 8PSK modulation and FEC=3/4 in DVB-S2 to get the usable bit rate over 60 Mb/ sec what would enable us to transmit even 6 HD channels. However you should be aware that the 8PSK and high FEC values require higher power to guarantee the same noise margin at the end user reception system. So, only the transponder on a satellite capable of providing enough power from its solar panels can be used in 8PSK mode with high FEC value. Thats the physical limitation. In the old days of analog TV, one could precisely tell how many channels you can transmit in a given bandwidth, but not today. In a real world, you can see quite often a combination of HD/SD channels and TV/radio channels transmitted through the same transponder. Channels differ in bit rates (and in this way in quality), so there is no way to say precisely how many channels we can expect assuming given bandwidth.

cOUNTRY REPORT
Satellite TV in Iran
Dishes in Iran
by A.G.
For preparing this report Ive interviewed more than 20 persons, who are dish installers, website and weblog owners, receiver and dish sellers and finally receiver servicemen. They all face many problems and we go this in a minute. In accordance to a decision by the Iranian government, selling, buying, installing, repairing and even the possession of satellite dishes are forbidden and against the law, but obviously there are many people in Iran, who watch satellite tv. In fact, the number of Iranians, who decide to use a satellite systems, has even rapidly increased.
This is the 190cm mesh dish of Daryoush in Tehran/ Iran. He has pointed his dish to YAmAL at 90E and receives that satellites 47 tv channels. Daryoush uses a satellite receiver by Starsat, model X95. He uses a STRONG L972 LNB.
The roofs of Tehran (eastern part). How

many dishes do you see? We counted 40, some are only partly visible. Hiding a dish is the best option in Iran.
People in Iran use, sell, buy and even install dishes discreetly. They mostly set up dishes on roofs and balconies and hide the system, if its visible from the street. Legislators defined, that only Iranian telecommunication companies, the state-owned braodcaster IRIB, newspapers, banks, scientific and governmental associations are eligible to officially use satellite systems. But for common people, any type of transaction or possession of satellite reception equipment is forbidden and illegal. This is somehow even contradicting,
because Iran has a very active history of space activities: Oct 2005: a Russian rocket launches Irans first satellite SINA-1 Feb 2007: Iran announced it launched a rocket capable of reaching space Feb 2008: Iran launched a research rocket as part for satellite launch preparations Aug 2008: Iran launched a rocket capable of carrying satellite Feb 2009: Iran declares launch of its first home-built satellite So although the regime in Iran has
started some activities in the satellite world, it is still blocking channels and tries hard to prevent people from watching satellite tv. The Iranian government even so far and sat up large transmitters on high positions in various cities to disturb the transmission frequencies of Persian speaking satellite channels, mostly coming from Europe via HOTBIRD. All of the people I interviewed were 20 to 30 years old and only one of them was 45 year old. As they themselves said, they had entered the satel-

lite world in average between 2 to 12 years ago. Mohsen from Tehran said: I started with satellite installation, when I was only 10 years old. All my family members were interested in my work and were sitting, watching me working. Although satellite receivers are illegal in the country, they are still widely available. There are even a lot of satellite fans in Iran. Its an interesting point, that almost all of the interviewees have studied or are studying in courses which are not related to electronics or communication, for example some took courses such as accounting, agronomy and fishing, chemistry, English translation and so on. They simply got involved in satellite reception because of their strong interest in satellite channels. One of my interview partners was Milad, who was the youngest, 20 years old, and he said: I really love satellite. Another one, Mokhtar: I do it as an entertainment and have the love of doing this. As mentioned before, the government blocks Iranians access to foreign news and political networks such as the BBC Persian Service and the Voice of America (VOA). According to my survey, the least jamming takes place in the Markazi Province, whilst in Shiraz and Tehran the signal distortion is highest. Mehdi, an installer and a serviceman from Shiraz: These parasite signals are really annoying and they disable the receivers. Now a closer look at dish installers in Iran. On average, an installer does 5-6 dish installations or adjustments in a week. Mohsen from Lorestan, who is working in this field for 9 years since he turned 16 years old, said: I have 10 to 15 installations in a day. Almost all of the installers do their work and the dish adjusting as a hobby or fun. All of them said, they are crazy about satellite tv and also because in most Iranian families, the younger members have learned to setup their own satellite systems. Among those almost 20 persons I interviewed, only Davood from Arak and Mehdi from Shiraz do it as their first job - although it cannot be named as a formal job in Iran. According to Mehdis affirms: My life expenses can hardly be provided with this job. Davood claimed: Im married and our cost of living is not provided at all. After 12 years I cannot change my job. Only these two persons also were selling receivers, dishes and LNB. Milad from Khozestan said: My cousin works in a Oil Company, but he does installations as a second job. Its interesting that although he is an employee in a state-owned company, he does something against the governmental law and secretly installs dishes. The most favorite satellites in Iran, which the installers have been asked to install, are HOTBIRD (at 13.0 degrees East), EUTELSAT W3 (for BBC Persian), ARABSAT (at 26.0 E), TURKSAT (at 42.0 E), NILESAT (at 7.0 W), SIRISU and recently provincial channels on INTELSAT 902 (62.0 E) gained some friends. The brand of receivers people are using depends on each city, because there are different sources that distribute receivers, dishes and LNBs, so each city takes it from the nearest source. For example
in Markazi Province (Arak) most of the receivers are of the STARSAT brand. Esmail from Tehran: In capital cities like Tehran you can find many different brands of receivers such as ICLASS and HIGHVISION. Morteza from Lorestan: Before all the receivers were by STARSAT, but now more brands appear. About gaining new clients Amir said: Customers themselves find us. For example when they are satisfied with my work, they recommend me to their friends, families or neighbors. Milad from Khozestan: We dont need any kind of advertisement and even dont try for it. Yasin from Yazd: Im a student and install dishes for students for free. Ahmad said: I do it only for those who I know, like my families and close friends. In Tehran you can find both offset and prime dishes and some of them even mounted on a motor, but in smaller cities or far from a source to provide a receiver, dish or other equipment, people only use prime fixed dishes
(mostly 95cm in diameter) and hardly ever one finds an offset dish. In general, most dishes used in Iran are very simple and cheap metallic models, which are self-made in small workshops. The risk for the equipment to be confiscated or destroyed is too big, this is the reason why most people prefer not to spend too much money for their satellite system. The cost of installation in Iran, like the brand of receivers, is different in each city and even in each region of a city, but generally its from 5 U.S. Dollars up to 20 for setting up a satellite dish. So how does the equipment arrive in Iran? Alireza said: My cousin imports receivers and all whats needed from Dubai to the free zone in Kish Island and then brings them to Tehran to sell to others or use for his own installations. I heard this statement from several others too. Mokhtar from Kermanshah said: Here is a border region and we get all our equipment from the Baneh Border. Receivers are smuggled from Dubai and the Emirates to Kish
Island in Iran and even via the Soleimanieh Border in Iraq to Genaveh Port in Iran and then the equipment is brought to capital cities like Tehran, Esfahan and Shiraz and from there again spread to other cities. So you can only find wholesaler in these big cities, especially in Tehran. But all of them work in privacy and you never would find any LNB or any receivers brand in shop windows. Dishes in Iran are made in underground workshops or places, which manufacture pans especially in big cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, Esfahan. In recent years after Tehran, Shiraz has became one of the biggest sources where could find anything related to satellite in the Electronic Bazaar. The interesting point in this report is that almost all the interviewees have learned adjusting and installing satellite dishes from the Internet, including reading the Persian edition of TELE-satellite magazine. Besides the Internet, some of them had the help of a friend or family member skillful in this field.
multi-satellite reception is no problem:

just put a second LNB
191
Milad: I have a cousin who is very professional in satellites. Alongside the Internet Ive learned what I know by the help of him. Mehdi from Shiraz who started this job when he was only 18, said about his competitors: In Shiraz you can find more than 10 wholesalers. There are a lot of installers in Shiraz maybe more than thousand, but I cant rank them. There isnt competition between us to gain clients, we all work together friendly. Milad from Khozestan: I can say that people who work in this state are the best, number one in Iran. When I asked Davood from Arak how many installers are in his city, he only laughed! I asked the installers, sellers and website owners, if they are under pressure or limitations by their families and what was thinkable here is that most of their parents are not aware or disagree with their activities in satellite tv. Alireza from Tehran is a young boy from a religious and famous family. His parents are not aware their son is a satellite installer. X from Esfahan said: I dont care what my parents say, in my view its an art. Amir from Kerman: My parents are well-known in my city and Ive not let them know that, although Im a student Im an installer too. Maybe it would be bad for their name in my city. There are a lot of sites and weblogs and even electronic magazines about satellite in Iran. Saeed from Esfahan who is editor of one of the best electronic magazines and weblog in Iran said: We are an eight-person group. I myself spend half of my day working and another half working on the satellite group completely for free. He continued: A strong feeling of love guides us through this way. When I asked his thoughts or ideas about the future of satellite tv in Iran he answered: The government should accept the reality and its better to leave them alone, who are active and interested in this field. Other interviewees said the same and most of them had a hopefull view about the future of satellite reception in Iran. Sadegh from Kerman: They will be forced to accept this situation which is out of control for lawmakers. It is obvious that police raids and fines have not stopped dishes
mehdi in Shiraz just installed this dish on a balcony, invisible from the street
springing up like mushrooms on the roofs of homes especially in the big cities. All of the website owners were complaining about filtering on the Iinternet. One of them said (for his security he asked me not to mention his name and website address): We were repeatedly threatened but still continue this way. Now we are a big group because after 4 years we have 140000 users. Another site owner said: The government has to accept our activities. To prevent backgtracking I always enter my website by a London IP so Ill never be arrested by the police. Davood from Arak said: At least once a year Im arrested by the police guard and have to pay different amounts of fines from 200 thousand Toman to 3 Million Toman. The amount of the fine is different in each city. Alireza from Esfahan: I was several times arrested, the police confiscated all my equipment and fined me more than the amount of all my materials. Saeed from Esfahan: They rushed into my house, seized and confiscated all my works equipments then penalized me. Recently a satellite TV station, Farsi 1, is pulling in Iranian viewers by showing soaps and sitcoms but has incensed the dissatisfaction of the clergymen and state television executives. Farsi 1 broadcasts popular Korean, Colombian and U.S. shows and also dubs them in our national language, Farsi, rather than using subtitles. Its popularity has increased since its launch in August last year. The stateowned Iran TV has reacted and started to produce more attractive TV programs, popular homegrown comedies and soaps to catch the viewers and avoid them watching Farsi 1. Officials acknowledge that they jam many foreign channels, but Farsi 1, which operates out of the Hong Kong-based headquarters of Star TV, is still receivable in Tehran. According to this research, unofficial reports and statistics, the number of satellite dishes in Iran is more than 8 millions. It can be estimated that around 85% of the population have access to satellite channels. This percentage is up to 95% in the southern and border regions. The increasing number of users has lowered the sensitivity of the officials and it seems that they unofficially decided to be more tolerant and patient against satellite reception in Iran.
