2. INTRODUCTION

The 3DGFLEX family is a modular headend equipped with a cabinet (3DG-BOX cod.283156) that can house 6 modules and a 
Control Unit in order to use and program the centralised unit.
The control unit allows:
-  Powering up to 6 modules
-  Programming the central unit using the keypad and display on board, or through a Web interface (PC) from a local or 

remote network.

-  Monitoring in real time the state of the central unit and send signals via email (Controller Host).
-  Importing or exporting the central unit configuration via USB.

3DG-4ASI-4T is a module to house in the 3DGFLEX central unit, that generates two pairs of adjacent Multiplexes modulated 

according to the DVB-T or DVB-C standards, using the streams received from any RF or USB Input In the same module or any 

other module in the central unit cabinet (POOL Technology - see Chapter 2.3).
