DVB-S/S2 TO IPTV TRANSMODULATOR
CompactMax-5

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Description
The
CompactMax
is a compact transmodulation system that allows you to
distribute Satellite TV channels (DVB-S or DVB-S2) in IPTV (TS over IP) format,
using protocol RTP or UDP (according to SMPTE 2022-1/2).
The
CompactMax
has 4 satellite inputs
and 4 DVB-T2 independent outputs and
output for IPTV. Two inputs are for free channels and the other two inputs for
encrypted channels. There are also two slots to insert a Card Access Module
(CAM)* to decrypt these channels and one input for RF loopthrough.
The
CompactMax
extracts the sequence of digital data (Transport Stream) of
DVB-S/S2 signal. TS tables are regenerated (PAT, PMTs, SDT and NIT) and PID
remapped. After going through this process, there are 10 independent streams
IPTV (SPTS or MPTS) that can be inserted into a television distribution network.
The
CompactMax
is managed through a webserver via remote control (LAN or
internet) and it is compatible with any standard browser. The webserver is easy
to use and has multiple setting options.
The
CompactMax
is integrated into a 19” (1U high) rack-mount case, which fits
in any TV head-end installation. It can also be mounted directly on the wall.
Among the practical applications of this transmodulator are:
•
Filter services in order to choose what DVB-S/S2 channels will become
IPTV.
•
Restoration of quality in a weak signal.
•
To change a programme grid without need to retune every TV on the
system.
•
To avoid degradation of signal.
•
To avoid overlapping on other channels.
•
To distribute encrypted programmes as free view in an internal TV
network.*
•
To use as a TV repeater to cover shadow areas.

only available for CompactMax-2
