VB270 DVB-S/S2 QPSK INPUT MODULE

VB-270 Data Sheet The VB270 input option offers monitoring and analysis of QPSK signals found in DVB-S and DVB-S2 satellite transponders. The chassis can be equipped with a single VB120 or VB220 IP-PROBE controller card and up to two VB270 QPSK input cards under its control.

The complete configuration with the VB120 provides real-time monitoring and alarming for two QPSK RF inputs, 10 IP MPTS/SPTS multicasts and one ASI TS input. ETSI TR 101 290 analysis is performed in parallel for QPSK inputs, the ASI input and the IP input. If the VB220 is used as master card the IP monitoring capacity is increased to impressive 180 MPTS/SPTS multicasts.

The combined unit is ideal for hybrid networks where IP is used as a carrier from head-end to the satellite uplink station. The built-in round-robin functionality allows sequential analysis of multiple QPSK multiplexes, making it possible to monitor a complete transponder using a single VB270.

By running in sweep mode the VB270 module is further capable of measuring analogue signal levels, in effect offering the operator a basic frequency analyser function at the deployment location.
