Description

The HZ410 is a professional satellite to terrestrial transceiver used in mobile and terrestrial television networks where the content is distributed to the transmission towers via satellite.

The HZ410 integrates a satellite demodulator, a DVB-S/S2 fi ltering module, an interface card with multiple ASI and IP outputs and a DVB-T/DVB-H COFDM modulator.

The HZ410 transceivers are compact units to be installed in each of the remote transmission towers. Each transceiver unit integrates all the building blocks necessary to receive one satellite carrier transporting one or several television multiplexes, extract one or several television multiplexes from this carrier, synchronize one of these multiplexes with other transmission towers (for SFN operation) and modulate this signal to be transmitted terrestrially to the set-top boxes or mobile handsets. A second multiplex can be made available on the second (LP) input of the terrestrial modulator while additional multiplexes extracted from the satellite carrier can be distributed by the HZ410 to external terrestrial modulators via ASI or IP.

The HZ410 off ers the possibility to work in Multistream mode, an advanced feature of the DVB-S2 standard. This technology allows the operator to distribute multiple multiplexes on the same satellite carrier. This Multistream functionality does not aff ect the content of the multiplexes and is therefore fully compatible with SFN operation. Unlike multiple carrier confi gurations, this mode of satellite transmission allows operating near transponder saturation and therefore optimizes the bandwidth effi ciency.

Key features

• Compliant with DVB-S2 and DVB-S/DSNG• Compliant with DVB-T and DVB-H• Operation in MFN and SFN• Multistream Operation• Integrated GPS receiver• Up conversion to VHF or UHF band• Remote management

Main advantages

• Compact and cost-effi cient design• Highest satellite bandwidth effi ciency • Fast and uniform network deployment • Easy installation and maintenance

Applications

The core application of Horizon is the primary distribution of TV signals to terrestrial towers in mobile TV or Terrestrial TV networks. The HZ410 supports the following operation modes:

• Primary distribution of DVB-T or DVB-H content to broadcast towers

• Distribution of DVB-T or DVB-H services together with other services sent on the same satellite carrier

• Deployment in regional towers where intermediary processing by external devices need to take place between the satellite reception and the re-modulation

in COFDM.

This product can be installed in any transmission site, from high-power one to smaller gapfi llers.
