ST Engineering Newtec M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulator
Quantity:
The ST Engineering Newtec M6100 Broadcast Satellite Modulator is the new generation DVB compliant modulator specifically designed for broadcast direct-to-home, primary distribution to headends and contribution of television and radio content. This single Transport Stream modulator supports the updated DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X, next to the legacy DVB-S and DVB-DSNG standards, as well as Newtec S2 Extensions in order to achieve barrier-breaking efficiency. The M6100 can be used in conjunction with set-top boxes, professional IRDs or professional satellite demodulators such as the MDM6100.
The broadcast satellite modulator performs among the best, offering unmatched bandwidth efficiency optimization options, thereby lowering overall Total Cost of Ownership. The fully automated operation of Newtec´s field-proven Equalink® 3 predistortion technology with its seamless calibration is now available for any satellite transmission application providing up to 10% bandwidth gains for single carrier per transponder constellations Clean Channel Technology®, in combination with DVB-S2X or Newtec S2 Extensions, improves satellite efficiency by up to 15%, thereby enabling much smaller carrier spacing.
Maximum symbol rates up to 72 Mbaud and modulations up to 256APSK (DVBS2X standard) combined with VCM (Variable Coding and Modulation) allow for maximum throughput of up to six transport streams in large contribution links. The powerful MPE encapsulator gives access to dual stream communication where live video is combined with file transfer, a service channel or video streaming.
At the output of the broadcast satellite modulator, the signal is available in IF or extended L-band (950 MHz- 2150 MHz), providing a compact and cost-effective solution. A built-in Ku-band or C-band upconverter is optional. A switchable 10 MHz reference signal and optional 24 Vdc or 48 Vdc for an outdoor BUC is multiplexed on the L-band interface.
The broadcast satellite modulator can be easily monitored and controlled via a comprehensive front panel menu and advanced web GUI, as well as via SNMP protocol. This enables easy integration into any industry-standard EMS/NMS system.
