Description:
Terra tdx-480 DVB-S/S2 to DVB-T transmodulator is used for reception of FTA DVB-S/S2 (8PSK/QPSK) signals, selection of desired channels and re-transmission of them in COFDM format in chosen RF channels in VHF/UHF frequency range. The device allows the user to receive and manage a range of free to air satellite channels. One tdx-480 panel can receive channels from eight satellite transponders and convert them into two groups of four neighboring DVB-T (terrestrial  transponders) multiplexes with maximum bit rate of 31.66 Mbps (no PID filtering). In practice, each of the eight multiplexes can carry 6 SD channels or 2-3 HD channels. The administrator of the system selects the required channels from the satellite streams and forms eight DVB-T multiplexes. For remultiplexing the streams, it is necessary to remember about 10% safety margin when determining the maximum bit rate for the whole multiplex (typically the ultimate bit rate of a multiplex should not exceed 29 Mbps). The output DVB-T COFDM multiplexes are usually distributed to users by a passive network composed of RF splitters/taps. Such a solution is especially convenient in modern hotel TV systems distributing a variety of satellite channels, including HD broadcasts.

Thanks to the RJ-45 Ethernet port, the programming of the tdx-480 panel is performed via a web browser.
