SCT2X4 Plus HITS Transcoder

DISCONTINUED The SCT2x4 PLUS is a Satellite-to-Cable Transcoder system designed for the HITS (Headend-in-the-Sky) satellite service. Each SCT2x4 PLUS module contains two independently controlled satellite tuners with input frequency ranges of 950-2150 MHz. This unit is specifically designed for 8PSK transponders using DVB-S2 error correction. Due to the high overall bitrate on HITS 8PSK transponders, all of the programs contained within them cannot be accommodated in a single QAM 256 channel. The SCT2x4 PLUS automatically directs programs across two QAM channels based upon the transponder selection. SAT 1’s programs are directed to QAM1 and QAM 2 while SAT 2’s programs are directed to QAM3 and QAM 4. The four (4) output QAM channels can be grouped in any 42 MHz contiguous bandwidth in the frequency range of 54-864 MHz. The SCT2x4 PLUS does not alter the satellite encryption used on the program streams. The encrypted streams pass intact through the transcoder and are delivered to the QAM set top boxes where the actual descrambling occurs. The SCT2x4 PLUS may be monitored and controlled via GUI-based web pages from any computer locally or via the internet. FEATURES & BENEFITS The data rates are such that when the satellite transmissions are 8PSK with DVB-S2 FEC, the programs from two transponders will usually require four QAM output channels if all programs are selected. Four high performance QAM modulators, with up to + 55 dBmV output level per QAM, after combining of the 4 QAMs, are included. Supports HITS 8PSK transponders with DVB-S2 FEC Equipped with an integrated automatic satellite switch that allows operator to select inputs from 2 different satellites Supports ITU-T J.83B QAM 256 output Compact design allows for deployment of 4 transcoder modules (8 transponders/16 QAM), including the power & control module, in 3RU GUI-based menu, including SNMP-based management, provides remote monitoring/control capabilities NOTE: The SCT2x4 PLUS requires the use of a PSM-4 module for operation.
