BEGINNER’S SECTION

Receiver Connections

Data Exchange Between PC and Digital Satellite Receiver
Thomas Haring
Strictly speaking, a digital receiver is nothing else than a PC in miniature. While it does, of course, prioritise different tasks and serves an entirely different purpose using different components and user interfaces, it nonetheless comes equipped with a central processing unit, various types of memory and a connection for signal output to a connected device. So what makes more sense than establishing a digital connection between a satellite receiver and a PC for exchanging data, putting out signals on additional devices and controlling the receiver via remote access? To achieve just this, three connection types have been established in the course of time, and this report will introduce you to all of them.

cable to the PC

as no surprise that the data transfer rate of serial interfaces is very low and does hardly exceed 0.8 Mb/s. So as far as speed is concerned, this interface is a thing of the past, even though most PCs boast at least one serial interface even up to this day. Receiver manufactures had joined this bandwagon and began to equip their receivers with a serial interface as well. Another reason for this development was that the chipsets available at the time when digital satellite television was introduced were hardly capable of supporting other connection types. And if we take into account that PVRs at that time were in experimental stages only, to say the least, and that data exchange only involved channel lists and software, then the transfer speed to be reached with a serial connection was sufficient at the time. So-called null modem cables are required for a serial connection, and they consist of either 3 or 9 strands. The 3-strand type is not capable of performing handshakes, while the 9-strand type supports this.

Serial Interface
Right from the beginning of personal computers – and that is to say a long time before the advent of the digital satellite age – PCs started to feature serial interfaces which allowed users to connect and control peripherals such as a computer mouse, or to establish a connection to the outside world with the help of a modem. Given the fact that this was introduced many years ago it comes

A handshake in this case means that hardware controls the data flow and thus makes sure data can flow uninterruptedly. For simply reading and writing channel lists or for updating the receiver’s software a 3-strand null modem cable will do, as the software will emulate flow control in these applications. Null modem cables are available in PC stores or can even be DIY-ed using rather simple tools (see plugging diagram). Please do make sure, however, that the terminal plug always has nine pins, even if only three of them are wired. Any major electronics shop should have

nection that allowed transferring large amounts of data in a reasonably short period of time. There is a difference between USB host connections and USB client connections. USB host means that the receiver becomes the master device which can access data on an external hard disk or a memory card of a digital camera, for example. USB client, on the other hand, means that connection is established between a PC and the digital receiver and the receiver’s internal hard disk pops up on the PC as a removable storage medium. This in turn allows exchanging, moving or copying data between both devices in an easy way. You can easily spot the difference between these two types by looking at the USB plugs. A USB host plug (type A) is flat, while a USB client plug (type B) is rectangular. In most cases, devices with a built-in hard disk feature a client connection so that data can easily be transferred to the PC, while receivers without hard disk generally sport a host connection so that the receiver is able to access external hard disks. As far as cable lengths are concerned, a USB 2.0 connection can reach up to five metres without requiring signal amplification. If your individual situation requires still longer cables you have to look for dedicated extension cables, or you may want to connect several standard 5-metre USB cables by means of active USB hubs. These hubs amplify the transmitted signal and at the same time allow connecting several additional USB devices to the PC. Please note, however, that only PCs are capable of addressing more than one external USB hard disk at the same time. Satellite receivers are not designed to support this. These days a USB connection has become the most popular data exchange set-up in the digital satellite field both for connecting a PVR receiver to the PC as well as for giving users the option of using external storage media instead of or in addition to integrated hard disks. This allows working with several different hard disks (not at the same time, though!) so that whenever a hard disk is filled to the brim with recordings you can simply connect another disk rather than having to delete data. Add to that the fact that modern 2.5inch external disks do not require a separate power supply and are hardly bigger than a pack of cigarettes and it becomes clear why USB storage media have gained so much popularity in recent times. So next time you’re out and about camping, simply bring along your movie

the necessary cables and plugs in their range.

USB Interface
A universal serial bus interface is a bitserial bus, which means that individual bits of a data packet are transmitted one after the other. Data is transmitted symmetrically via two twisted wires, one of which transmits the data signal and the other the corresponding inverted signal. The signal receiver creates the differential voltage of both signals, which means that the voltage level difference between the 0 and 1 levels is twice the usual value so that outside interference is largely eliminated. This in turn improves transmission reliability, suppresses common mode interference and at the same time increases electromagnetic compatibility. Two additional wires provide power to connected devices. A USB connection can achieve significantly higher transfer rates than a serial connection. USB 1.0 and USB 1.1 are rated at a maximum of 12 Mbit/s, and USB 2.0 supports up to 480 Mbit/s. While this figure looks impressive on paper, we do have to take into account that the limited processing capability of most receivers means that this transfer rate will not be used to the fullest. Yet, even if 480 Mbit/s are out of reach, USB 2.0 nonetheless was the first con-

archive and you’re all set to save any rainy day. devices, an Ethernet network allows several devices access all other devices in the network at the same time. For digital satellite receivers this implies that you can actually access your digital PVR in the living room while sitting in front of your PC in the study, while at the very same time your kid’s PC is also connected to the satellite receiver. There’s no way a USB or serial connection would ever be able to provide these network capabilities. With many different devices being connected to a single network it is obviously necessary to be able to differentiate between each client. To this end, each device in the network is allocated a dedicated designation, the so-called IP address. An IP address always consists of four number blocks, with each block being a number from 0 to 255. This way, each device has a unique identification, and in order to become a fully functional network client, your digital satellite receiver also has to be assigned an individual IP address. If you are using a DSL modem or a router in your network, IP addresses will be assigned automatically and you don’t have to worry about a thing. In all other cases, chances are you’ll have to manually assign an IP address. Automatic assignment takes place via a process called DHCP, which stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. All digital receivers with an Ethernet interface support DHCP and therefore fully support genuine Plug&Play when connecting the receiver to your LAN at home. Let’s look at manual IP address assignment as well, for a moment. You need to bear in mind that IP addresses are used both in your local network at home as well as on the Internet, which is the reason why certain blocks of IP addresses are reserved for different purposes. Generally, the address range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 is used for private home networks, with most DSL modems and routers already being preset to use this range. For your receiver you may then use 192.168.0.1 and for the PC 192.168.0.2, for example. Some of you may be wondering now how several devices can be connected to each other, even though each device only features a single Ethernet interface. Well, that’s when routers or DSL modems with integrated router come into play. They are equipped with 4, 8, 16 or even more connection interfaces for different devices and distribute the signal to correct addressee. Next to a wired Ethernet connection, recent times have also seen more and more wireless (so-called WLAN) networks being set-up at home. South Korean manufacturer Topfield was one of the first companies in the satellite receiver industry to make some of their products WLAN ready. The single biggest advantage of using WLAN is the fact that no cabling whatsoever is required between satellite receiver and PC. The single biggest drawback is the fact that wireless signals can travel only so far and in buildings made of reinforced concrete, for example, signals have a hard time penetrating walls. Brick or wooden buildings, on the other hand, are very WLAN friendly and in many cases allow using a WLAN network even across several floors. In a WLAN network, the assignment of IP addresses happens the same way as in a wired network, with the added step that in most cases an access key is required to make sure the wireless net-

Network Connection
By far the most versatile connection type between a PC and a digital satellite receiver is an Ethernet connection. What has been the norm in the PC world virtually for decades has also entered the digital PVR realm some years back. An Ethernet connection can either be wired or wireless and can bridge large distances. While serial and USB connections are limited to a few metres, Ethernet networks can easily extend over hundreds of metres. On the other hand, the significant advantages of a network connection come at a price – in other words: a considerable amount of planning and configuration is required to make an Ethernet connection work. So-called twisted pair cables are required for Ethernet networks, with eight individual strands being twisted into four pairs, hence the name. Using pairs of two strands each minimises outside interference. This type of cable can easily by laid out by everybody, fitted with RJ45 plugs or connected from one plug socket to the next. Using plug sockets may turn out to be a wise decision, particularly if you need to cover larger distances, as the cables can be hidden in cable conduits and the devices that are connected to the network only require short cables from the device’s Ethernet interface to the wall socket, which makes for a very neat set-up. Special tools are needed to attach an RJ45 plug to a twisted pair cable and to wire a socket appropriately (see picture). Your local PC or electronics store should be able to provide you with such a tool. Thanks to colour-coding, correct wiring doesn’t require a degree in electronics, and if you’re going about it carefully there is hardly any risk that something might go wrong. In contrast to USB or serial connections, which invariably require a direct point-to-point connection between two

work is protected from unwanted guests. As you can see, a network connection offers the most versatile features and options when it comes to hooking up satellite receiver and PC. We started out by saying that modern satellite receivers basically are no-frills PCs, and this is also why services and applications we have come to know and appreciate from the PC and Internet worlds may work just as well with your digital satellite receiver – provided that the manufacturer decided to support these. For instance, from a technical point of view it would be perfectly possible to access your receiver at home via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) from the PC or the Internet in order to exchange data, or to use a web server on any internet browser to create a timer entry on the PVR, check its status or even switch channels – no matter whether you’re in the next room or on the other side of the world. In addition, an Ethernet connection provides sufficient bandwidth for carrying multimedia contents in real-time so that it is possible to watch the channel that is set on the receiver in the living room also on the PC monitor in the study. For the first time, this also allows contents that cannot be displayed on a standard TV (such as MPEG 4:2:2 transmissions, for example) to be sent to a PC with corresponding software and to be watched on the PC monitor without any loss of quality. One thing that deserves special emphasis in any network configuration is security. In a wired setting there is virtually zero threat, as long as we’re dealing with a closed network that has no access to the Internet or to external devices, because only your own devices in your own house or apartment will be able to access the network. As soon as there is access to the Internet, any person in the world with an Internet connection will be able to gain access to your devices – at least in theory and with no protection in place. Naturally, an intruder must know your IP address which you are using to access the Internet, but even this can be found out easily with corresponding software – some even free of charge – which the more dubious Internet users are usually quick to discover. means the signal can be picked up by neighbours, passing cars or pedestrians close to your place. This makes it all the more important to encrypt the transmission between PC and receiver so that no unauthorised person gets a chance of intercepting your personal data traffic. All WLAN capable satellite receivers we know of support at least the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) protocol that can be used to encrypt the entire communications process. So for a digital receiver

■ Twisted pair cable for Ethernet connection
To protect your privacy, any satellite receiver with network capability has mechanisms in place to protect access with a user name and password. Make sure you actually use these mechanisms and please also make sure your password meets certain security criteria. Some passwords can be hacked in minutes by criminals who use tools to try out different combinations of characters and numbers or who even use dictionaries for trying out an endless number of different words. So there’s really no point in choosing “receiver” or “1234” as your personal password. The best bet is a variation of upper case and lower case characters, sprinkled with special characters and numbers. A ten-digit password offers millions of combinations that cannot easily be discovered, not even with state-of-the-art software. It’s your receiver and your data, so you’d better make sure it stays that way as well. To help you memorise your password we recommend basing it on a feely selected word, such as “TeleSatellite” and then add to it a number or date you can easily remember, such as your date of birth, for example. Add to that one or two special characters and you’ll arrive at a password that will give a headache to anyone trying to hack it. Your password could be TeleSatellite(150370) or – to make it even more complex – T(e1|5e0S3a7t0e)llite. To memorise this particular password it’s enough to remember the initial word as well as the position of the birth date and of the special characters. In addition, you should always activate the firewall setting of your DSL modem or router so that there is a check on external access to your network. After all, there is no such thing as too much security. For WLAN networks there is also the issue of the wireless signal potentially travelling way beyond the confinement of your house or apartment, which

markings

even being able to establish a connection to the WLAN base station it is mandatory to define a password at the station (using either text or hexadecimal code) and also enter that very same password on the receiver or any other host wanting to use the network. These days, however, WEP has significant loopholes and can be hacked quite easily if one uses the right tools, so we would urge receiver manufactures to also implement the more recent WPA (WiFi Protected Access) encryption in their WLAN receiver models. Market leader Topfield has pressed ahead and added WPA protection in a recent software update. As with other connection methods, the transfer rates in Ethernet networks also largely depend on the receiver’s processing power, so in a real world scenario you will soon find out that the theoretical maximum rate of 12.5 Mb/s is hardly ever reached. No matter which connection type you’re currently using, the future will have more innovations in store, both for USB and Ethernet set-ups. Transfer rates will no doubt increase, and networks will be able to extend across ever increasing distances. USB 3.0 is virtually around the corner and will definitely also be used for digital satellite receivers. So let’s keep our eyes open and let’s look forward to what manufacturers will offer next!

就在一 年前, 我们见证了 DVB-S2/H.264 从 SDTV 到 高清电视的巨大变化。 这完 全是由于有了新的芯片组, 从而能够将传统标准清晰度 信号进一步升级为高清晰度 信号。 我们都知道, 新技术的诞 生通常也伴随着一些新的问 题, 因此也需要一段时间来解 决。 第一批 DVB-S2/H.264 芯 片组也同样如此, 任何一个 高清电视接收机制造厂商都 或多或少会犯一些幼稚的错 误。 越想实现多一些的创新 功能, 其高清接收机也越会 出现一些小问题。 在此期间, 芯片制造厂商已 经有足够的时间来研究如何 解决他们所遇到问题, 而现 在 Topfield TMS SRP-2100 正是第一个使用了刚刚改进 过的 DVB -S2/H. 264 芯片 组的接收机之一。

Topfield 的工程师们就把 这一个预想纳入了他们的新 型 TMS 接收机, 因此它不仅 只有两个 DVB-S2 高频头, 而且还有一个做为主要功能 之一的网络接口。 Topfield 认为在内部要采 用新的技术, 同时在外观方 面也要创新。 在前面板上, 不断更新的是半隐蔽式的按 键, 将来触摸开关及面板将 会代替现有的按键。 TMS(附带一提的是, 它是基 于全部媒体的解决方案)约比 同类卫星接收机高出3cm, 但是由于它前面板现代风格 的设计, 因而丝毫不会感觉唐 突。 但是还留有一个单独的 按键, 位于 VFD 显示屏上面: 它用来打开和关闭接收机。 其他所有的控制部分紧挨 着它, 并形成一个完美的圆 环, 直接触摸前面板相应位 置即可,这真是一项非常聪明 的想法。 当打开接收机的时候, 这 个区域被闪着蓝色光泽的发 光 LED 所包围, 当我们处 在黑暗的环境来看, 它真的很 明亮, 其明暗变化会引起注 意。 在前面板右边上的仓盖后 面隐藏着两个 CI 插槽, 用 来插入付费电视的模块(如 Viaccess、 Cryptoworks、 Nagravision, Alphacrypt 等), 还有两个 USB 接口, 用 于接驳外接硬盘或其它的存 储媒体, 如数码相机等。 后面板 上物 有所值 ,因为 它具有一个 HDMI 插口,两 个 scart 欧插,六个 YUV、 CVBS 和音频的 RCA 插座,

韩国的 Topfield 公司称自 己为 “多媒体家庭的领袖” , 他们也的的确确想让公司以 其新产品来证明这一点。 几 个月以前, 一些 Topfield 公 司的工程师们开始着手设计 下一代高清接收机。 很显然, 在传统的卫 星电 视接收之后, 互联网将开始 扮演重要的角色。 从最开始 就完全是这样。 说来也巧, 国 际卫星电视与宽带》 也将 “宽 带” 一词加入它的杂志名称, 因为我们预计未来的消费者 不再看重电视和收音机的内 容来自哪里。卫 星、 有线电 视、 地面电视和宽带互联网都 将一起构成多媒体节目的来 源, 而有一天我们甚至不会再 去想电视到底接到哪里。

速切换视频格式的按键。 通 过欧插, 可以输出 CVBS、 S 视频或者 RGB 信号,而使用 者也可以预先设定将 4:3 的 图像在 16:9 的屏幕上显示 出来(平时和扫描时, 两边会 有黑条)。 现在几乎没有任何 人使用它了 但将信号输出设 , 定为 4:3 对于较旧的电视机 来说是可能的。 顾名思义, 录像和重录的设 置可以允许在录像和重放期 间定义接收机。 现在,时间缓 存时间已经延长到 300 分 钟, 而过去只能是 120 分 钟。 除此之外, 你还可以让接 收机在录像开始和结束前后 增加几分钟。 这样确保每个 定时器定时后不再错过任何 节目, 以防万一一个频道没 有精确地按照它的时间表播 放。 如果通过 USB 或者 ESATA 接口外接上存储媒体, 则它们就可以当成默认的存 储媒体。因此, 如果你想要 用一个 U 盘来代替机内的 500GB 硬盘, 你可以轻松地 设置定义为接收机的外接磁 盘。 其另一个亮点是它可以从 此前停止的地方继续重放。 现在, 使用这一功能必需有 单独的 TAP (Topfield 的内 部插件)。 同时, 它还有各 种不同速度的向前、 向后播放 的设置, 而且使用者也能让 接收机处理好加密的录像。 解密的拷贝可以立刻生成, 使用者也可手动激活这一程 序。 TMS 前面板显示窗可以 进行个性化的设置, 举例来 说, 可以设置成不同的显示 模式, 或者调整待机和开机

时的亮度。 此外, 如果前面板 上的蓝色圆环亮度也可调的 话, 我们会更喜欢。 如果你想要把接收机与外 部世界相连, Topfield TMS 不仅有 USB 和 E-SATA 接 口, 而且还有完备的网络接 口, 它配有专门的菜单区域。 它允许使用者手动设置IP 地 址, 或者从一个内网服务器中 自动分配 DHCP。 TMS 可以在 几秒钟内自动获得所有必需 的参数。 接收机也内置一个网络服 务器和一个 FTP 服务器, 而且它们两个都能分别使用 或关掉。 当然, TMS 建议使用 用户名和密码来进行访问存 取。 初始设置一经完成, 你就 必须按下遥控器上的退出按 键, 使接收机退出主菜单。 它会立刻转到目录上第一个 频道上, 并且在屏幕底部插 入一个小信息条。 它包括 现 有节目的一些信息, 也可以 显示更多的信息, 包括高频 头、 卫星和转发器的细节。 它还提供一些信息服务, 如图文、 副标题, 和附加的声 道,无论你现在是正在收看加 密或其他卫星上的频道。 所有 节目播出时, 会显 都 示出信号强度和信号质量两 个柱状线。 但是要留心它们 的数值大小,因为我们已经发 现它们可能不是 100% 的正 确, 尤其当它接收微弱信号 的时候。 如果频道商提 供的话, 你 按下信息按键, 接收机将会 显示当前节目的其他信息。 按下导航按键, 就会出现

EPG, Topfield 设计出了一个 非常方便使用者的界面。 如 果频道商提供的话, 可以访问 七天以后的预告。 它有两个显示模式:第一种 是一次显示 7 个频道, 每个 频道包含大约三个小时的内 容, 第二种模式是一次显示 5 个频道, 每个频道显示大 约 4 个小时的内容。 你浏览 EPG 时, 用信息键 可以显示出当前节目的更多

信息,既可以标记以备录像, 也可以设置成定时器来唤醒 使用者。 没有比生成一个定时器更 容易的事了 如果你不想受限 , 制地进行预订, 也可以手动进 入选项来定义节目的起始和 结束时间。 实际上, 你可以根据自己的 需要, 随意设定自动录像, 而 无论是按照每天、 每周, 每 个工作天或者每个周末。 我们在测试中, 接收机非常 可靠地处理了包括重叠设置 的定时录像, 甚至重叠了几分 钟也毫无问题。 按照 Topfield 的良好传 统, “OK”按键会直接进 按下 入频道目录,它提供了很方便 的设计, 并且提供全视野的结 构。 如果需要, 接收机甚至能 显示每个频道供应商的详细 信息, 而且通过按键, 你可以 浏览所有喜爱频道的目录。 我们特别喜欢所有频道搜 寻功能 (按一次: 所有的频 道从字母 A 开始显示; 按 两次: 所有频道从字母 B 开 始;如此类推)。 借助这一功能, 你可以在数 以千计的频道目录上快速找 到想要的频道。 TMS 的快速选台也很有 趣,标清电视频道之间的转换 不超过 1 秒,而在电视上出 现一个高清电视频道大约需 要 2 秒。 当我们测试一个接收机的 时候, 时常会没命地上下快 速翻动目录, 然而 TMS 从 未出现任何电视或声音的失

真。 总之, 我们真得很喜欢这 款接收机,无论是标清还是高 清信号, 其图像和声音的质 量都很优良。 机内有 500 GB的硬盘, 你可以录制很多节目。 为了方 便你录制和寻找你的节目, 可以随便生成一些文件夹来 载入录像。 每段录像都有一 张关于内容预览的照片, 还有 关于长度和文件的大小的详 细信息。 也许你可能觉得奇 怪: 500 GB的硬盘可以看大 约 250 小时的节目。 Topfield 用的文件系统是 JFS , 一些其他的格式 (如 FAT 32、 NTFS 或 EXT2/3)也 都可以读出。 但只有 JFS 和 EXT2/3 能写入, 所以当 你在个人计算机上编辑录像 的时候, 你应该留意。 最后, 毫无瑕疵的声音 选 项、 完美的副标题、 NVOD 功 能, 还有内置图文解码器, 这些构成了 TMS 全部完美 的印象。 如果你脾气急躁, 想 在广告播放期间浏览其他频 道, 你或许会喜欢 PiP(画中 画)功能,即使是两个高清频 道也没问题! 我们不能不提到一个叫做 系统自动恢复的功能: 借助 一个按键, 你能将接收机从 现在的状态解救出来,能在任 何的较迟的阶段被修复, 如果 某事以你的设定变狂暴。 复位 文件能被在内在的记忆都在 外部的储藏媒体上解救, 因 此, 你总是在安全的边上。 Topfield 不断改进其产 品, 可以经常下载使用新的软 件。 也可以通过卫星、 网络或 U 盘来进行更新。

网络 接口
Topfield 引人注目的是将 来会把不同接收方式整合在 一起。 除了卫星、 有线电视或 地面广播仍将提供电视和广 播内容之外, 也会使用互联网 拓宽应用领域。 这就是为什么 TMS 的网 络接口开始受到特别关注的 原因。 因为接收机有了内建的 网络伺服功能, 不可以通过 互联网或局域网来控制接收 机, 还可以从世界上的任何 一个地方使用 FTP 功能来 访问接收机的硬盘。 令人印象深刻的是数据的 高速传输, 因而会有很多全 新的想法进入卫星接收机的 实用领域。 设想一下: 当电视 上初次上映一个新电影的时 候, 你正忙于度假, 离开时匆 忙之中你忘了设定定时器来 录像。 没问题: 如果你度假的地 方可以使用互联网, 你就可 以遥控接收机来设置定时录 像,可以检查现有是否所有的 定时录像被正确操作。 不仅 如此, 你甚至还可以使用FTP 将你家里的电视或广播节目 传到你度假的地方。 “ 娱 乐 功 能 ”菜 单 项 目 是 Topfield 使接收机、 网 络和互联网之间边缘模糊的 第一步。 举例来说, 你可能 用 TMS 在 YouTube 上寻 找录像, 并且在你客厅的平 面电视上看到它们。 当然, 我 们试用了这个功能, 而且非常 顺利。 TMS 像 YouTube网站的入

Topfield 多年前就已经开 始整合 TAP 功能, 因此 TAP 成为TMS 的一个特殊定义软 件一点也不令人惊讶。 较旧版 本的 Topfield 接收机虽然 不能像 TMS 一样工作, 但是 由于已经具有相应接口, 所 以可以轻松地很快就变成与 TMS 兼容的机器。 借助 TMS, Topfield 成了 首 批 将 网络 接口纳 入 接 收 机的 制 造 厂 商之一。 当然 , YouTube 逊于卫星, 的图像质量会稍 但是已有一些改

我用了一只锤子和一根橇棍 才把箱子打开, 取出了天线组 件。 天线的每个组件都小心翼 翼地用保护膜包裹起来。 不 会由于运输造成即使是很小 的擦伤。 我真的很喜欢它。 只 ■ 天线装在一个大木箱子里 有专业的设备才会被如此小 心地包装起来。 当全部组件取 出的时候, 我注意到其数量很 少。 太好了- 组装就应该是很 简单的。 的确, 尽管没有详细的 指 导, 但是借助一个天线装配 图, 使组装很简捷, 每个人都 可以很快装好。 各个组件之间 的配合都很完美, 非常有趣。

这种类型的 PFA 天线进行了 优化, 偏馈的 LNBF 安装在 正馈的天线上时是不会取得 好的接收结果的。 馈源盘实际是 LNB 的一个 边缘,遗憾的是测试的时候, 在我的小屋里找不到了 在我 。 的抽屉里有一个 Ku 波段的 LNBF, 它配有一个 PFA 馈源 盘 (NF=0.3 分贝)。 它太厚 了 而且也不适合这个天线。 , 我放弃了原来的馈源盘和它 的固定架, 再配上了另外一个 相符的 LNBF。 然后, 我准备 好了测量一下。 我先用频谱仪把天线对准

■ 天线有许多组件...

当发现了天线立柱直径的 设计有 70 毫米的时候, 我 有点吃惊。 因为通常的尺寸 是 60 毫米(当然对于更小的 天线还有 40 毫米的立柱)。 在检查完固定天线立柱的螺 栓足够长之后, 我决定不再新 装测试天线立柱, 而是利用原 来已有的一个 60 毫米的天 线立柱。 然而, 如果是永久性 安装, 我建议还是使用一个 适当直径的天线立柱, 推荐采 用 70 毫米的。 当天线装上天线立柱, 所有 的螺栓都拧紧后, 我很欣慰 地注意到天线真的很稳固、 结实。 这对于一个这大的天 线尤其重要。 其视角很小, 因 而即使一个很小的变形就能 严重地影响接收。 接着安装 LNB。 天线装有

基本适当的方向, 立刻显示出 信号。 频谱仪确认卫星位置 为 28.2° E(Astra 卫星) 我 摆弄了一阵子, 每一次都得到 了一个质量非常好的信号。 比 如, MER=17.4 分贝甚至更多! 但是接收弱的卫星信号会 怎么样呢? 我在 SatcoDX 网 页上细心地研究了不同卫星 的场强, 了解到对于卫星爱好 者来说, 居住在波兰实在是一 件大好事, 因为几乎没有测试 大天线的必要。 大部份的波束 都投向这里, 欧洲部份波束也 给这块大陆的中心非常强的 场强。 对于接收大部分卫星及 波束来说, cm 的直径就相 90 当充足了 只有极少数波束不 。 覆盖我所在的位置, 而在此 情况下, 140 cm 的天线同样 也远远不够接收条件。

值的是 EXPRESS 22 卫星 (53° E)的 AM22EXPA22 K2 波束。 从它的场强图来看, 好 像用一个 150~190 cm 的天 线 (信号功率 >40分贝瓦)应 该能够接收到它, 然而我希 望我可以用 P140 来试试。 如 果它有 42~43 分贝瓦, 天线 可以锁住信号。 当我尝试把 PASAT 140 对 准这个卫星的时候, 我意识到 若将仰角调整到位, 原有的调 节螺杆就太短了 我需要将仰 。 角设定在 21.4° 但是它超出 , 了天线的范围。 我们测试的 天线其仰角的设定范围大约 是 25° 到 70° 之间。 我可以 做的最简单的事是将天线仰 角设定为最低, 并将天线立柱 倾斜一些角度。 我 做 完 之 后 ,我 注 意 到 EXPRESS 22 卫星的频谱出 现在我的频谱仪上。 C/N 读 数为 8 分贝。 遗憾的是, 它 还在接收门限以下。 再有一个 分贝多一点, 我就可以欣赏到 它了 。 没办法。 我开始琢磨如何提 升这个天线的性能。 最后, 我 决定试试信号非常强的卫星 (13° E 的 HOTBIRD ), 测 一测信号质量, 并分别与 0.6 m 的天线和 0.9 m 的天线 的信号质量作对比。 将不同的 LNBF 装上天线, 它们的信号 质量都相当好 (NF=0.3~0.4 分贝)。 正像我 预 期的那样, 它的

信号质量非常好。 它的

MER

值比 0.6 米的天线高 3~ 4分贝, 比 0.9 米的天线高 1~2 分贝。 也许令我们一 些读者感到惊讶的是, 我从 P140 和正馈 LNBF 得到的 信号水平并不比较小的天线 高。 对于数字电视节目的接 收,很 重 要的一点是 信号要 强, 而且要超过绝对信号水 平。 为此, 一定要有一个大的 天线 (表1)。 根 据这些测量比较的结 果, 我肯定 P140 的确是一款 高增益天线。 这意味着其表 面曲率正确, 而且信号集中在 馈源盘的焦点处。 天线非常坚 固, 你只要把它安装在强度足 够的天线柱上,其使用寿命就 会长达数年之久。 它的仰角设定范围(25° ~ 70° )对于接近赤道的国家更 适合, 而像位于我所在的波兰 (52° N), 则要看想要接收 公司可 的卫星情况。 Pasat 天线。

与此前的产品所不同的是当你动手的 时候,根本不会将手弄脏, 很显然, 你所 要组装的SG-2500极轴座是由高级材料 制造的: 经过防锈处理的底座和不锈钢 的部件可以实现很好地防晒和防雨。 其 调整刻度很容易读取, 标记也很精确, 不仅可以使天线安装更容易, 同时也使 向南 (向北) 方向的电动极轴座和天线 调整得更精确。

这两款机器要求旋转角度为任意值。 旋 转角度可以用 GAAPS 软件精确地计算 出来, MOTECK 通过其网址提供下载: www.moteck.com 或 www.gaaps.com.tw, 做为另一种选择, 也可以使用我们自己的 USPOS 软件, 它非常容易使用 (www. TELE-satellite.com/Uspos.exe)。 它使用 DiSEqC 1.2 协议, 不需要任 何其它的装置即可自动定位。 但是,当其 内部存储有数据的情况下, 用DiSEqC 1.2 协议控制会有一点问题。 MOTECK和其他 制造厂家存储的数值都一样 – 都可 以增加到60个卫星位置, 但是这并不可 靠, 因为每当电动极轴座重新设定时, 所 有数据都会被删除, 这意味着所有储存 的卫星位置数据都会遗失。 但这不是记忆方面唯一的问题。 它最初 预置的 26 个位置参数 – 很遗憾- 实 际上不能用。 除非位于零度子午线上, 才 可以进行正确的计算, 否则就不行。 因为 接收机从未考虑电机容纳的卫星位置数 量, 并且总是按照从低到高的顺序编排 卫星数据。 为了卫 星位 置 数 据的安全和稳妥起 见, 你必须宁愿相信接收机而非该极轴 座。 为了有效地控制它, 你必须得采用直 接的 DiSEqC 1.2 控制指令: “转到X位 置” 一些装有 DiSEqC 1.2 协议的 。 接收机还具有专门 “转到X位置” 的菜单 功能。 不过装有 DiSEqC 1.3 或 USALS 协议的接收机会更好。 它们会自动地计算 出方位角,并与 “转到X位置” 指令一起存 储起来。 当然 SG-2500 能够更好地执 行“转到X位置”指令, 因此和这些接收 机能够匹配得更佳。

英文的安装手册提供了如何对准方向 和调整的说明。 它也列出了与当地纬度对 应的仰角数值。 当然,它们之间的关系很 容易用三角函数关系式计算出来: 刻度值 = 纬度 - 60° + arctan(cos(BG)- 0.151)(/sin (BG)) 当将天线(大到直径为 120 cm 的板状 天线)对准这个刻度值的时候, 就可以再 安装到轴座上。 利用轴座上的凸痕使其 对准正南方(北方)。 一 般 来说, 你不会马上用天 线 来接 收。 首先是极轴座必须转到所设定卫星 的角度,或者用手或者用接收机的菜单来 调整。 为此, 你需要用已经在接收机里显 示出来的信号作为指引。 然而通常接收 机都和天线位于不同的地方, 不能马上 知道信号的情况。 用一个便宜的寻星器 就能完成这个任务, 因为它能接在同轴 电缆和卫星天线之间。 该装置以后也能 用得上,如暴风雨将天线位置移动后用它 来调整就正好。 寻星器是一种带有指针 的仪器, 可以用来获得最好的接收效果: 要进行垂直的调整你就要改变仰角,要 进行水平的调整你就得横向调整天线。

使邻居们听不见天线的旋转。 而如果你 使用的是非常不显眼的平板天线那就更 没有被看得见或听得见的烦恼了 。 测试也表明以前的缺点也已经被改进 了 由于有一项获准的专利, 。 极轴座的调 整误差实际上趋近于零。 这意味着无论 天线从哪里开始转动, 天线都可以精确 地对准每个卫星。 即使卫星位置的间隔 不到 3 度, 现在也可以精确地分开。 我 们的测试表明借助这款新的驱动装置即 使是盲扫也不会接收到临近卫星上的转 发器去。 同时, 接近接收门限的弱转发器 信号强度还可能获得改善。

组装完毕的天线系统

新型的 MOTECK SG-2500 电动极轴座的性能既可靠、 噪音 又低。 其新型的无误差的传动系统可以精确地区分开卫星位 置, 并最大限度地提升了接收质量。 使用兼容 DiSEqC 1.3 协 议的接收机则能够实现完全自动的操作。

USALS 意味着什么? 什么是 GAAPS ?
这两个词指的都是天线自动定位的计算方法。 每个卫星的 位置都位于零度子午线和其轨道位置之间。 这个角度值是以 地球为中心的, 不过, 是把地球的中心当做成为轴的一点。 实际上, 对于各个位置而言, 相对于地平线其位置又有所 不同 - 这个角度值必须根据实际要接收的卫星方向重新进 行计算。 意大利的天控器制造厂商首先建议在接收机中加入这套 坐标的计算方法, 他们称之为: “USALS, 意味着通用卫星 ” 自动定位系统。

连接到极轴座上

MOTECK 选择缩写词 GAAPS” 表明它的坐标计算方法, “ 意思是全球天线自动定位系统。 此外, 坐标的确定并不是极轴座来操作的,而是它接收 DiSEqC 1.2 协议中 “转到 X 位置” 指令来实现的。 因此 说,坐标的计算是由接收机进行的。 然而, 即使有些接收机能够实现自动定位, 它们也不打上 USALS 的标志。 所以请到使用手册上查看是否有此功能。 有一些接收机和电动极轴座,则简单地标着 “兼容DiSEqC 1.3协议” “具有转到X位置功能” 或 。

低噪声会确保 LNBF 以优 良的噪声系数输出较好的信 号, 因而更适于数字传输: 即获得好的载噪比。 接收较弱 的转发器需要较低的 C/N。 它 也会在恶劣的天气情况下提 供较高的接收余量。 遗憾的 是, 实际高频头的噪声性能并 不那么容易估量。 除了噪声性 能以外, 还有其它的参数影响 到载噪比。 这些参数是: LNBF分段

和 公司的老板, 《国际卫星电 站在位于曼谷西北部暖武里府的 (右) 的主编亚历山大•维思 视》 INFOSAT公司总部门前。

即使像诸如 C 波段天线一样的老 产品, 仍然还有改进的空间。 几个 月前, 泰国的 INFOSAT 公司向市 场上推出了 一款1.5米的整体天线, 结果马上获得成功! 这款新产品 背后的推手就是唐匹润坦•尼软, INFOSAT 公司的创办人和老板。 他对于 《国际卫星电视》 来说不是 新面孔: 我们以前报道过尼软, 在 02-03/2007 和 02-03/2008 两期 的 《国际卫星电视》 上介绍过他的 新想法。

THALES ALENIA SPACE COMMISSIONED FOR W3C SATELLITE

EUROPE
EUROPE EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 9 ENTERS INTO SERVICE

Eutelsat Communications has announced the full entry into commercial service of its Hot Bird 9 satellite at 13 degrees East. Built by EADS Astrium and launched on 20 December 2008 by Arianespace, Eutelsat’s new high-capacity broadcast satellite has a projected in-orbit life of more than 15 years. With the entry into service of Hot Bird 9, co-positioned with Eutelsat’s Hot Bird 6 and Hot Bird 8 satellites, Hot Bird 7A can now be redeployed to 9 degrees East. Rebranded Eurobird 9A, the satellite will assume all broadcasts currently carried by the 20 transponders on Eurobird 9 and introduce 18 additional transponders at the 9 degrees East neighbourhood, which has seen the number of channels more than double in one year to almost 150. Released from this position, Eurobird 9 will continue its useful life in orbit at another location. Hot Bird 9 has a payload of up to 64 Ku-band transponders.

Eutelsat Communications has announced that Thales Alenia Space has been commissioned to build the W3C satellite. Eutelsat will select the launcher for the satellite separately at a later stage. The rapid order of W3C follows Eutelsat’s decision taken in January 2009 not to integrate the W2M satellite into its fleet following a major anomaly which occurred during its transfer from the location used for in-orbit tests to its operating position at 16 degrees East where its mission was to replace well in advance Eutelsat’s W2 satellite. Scheduled for launch in third quarter 2011 and equipped with 56 transponders, W3C will be co-positioning with Eutelsat’s W3A satellite will expand capacity at 7 degrees East from 44 to 70 transponders. The W2A satellite of Eutelsat Communications was successfully lofted into orbit on April 3 by a Proton Breeze M rocket supplied by ILS. Designed to replace Eutelsat’s W1 satellite, W2A’s payload of up to 46 Ku-band and 10 C-band transponders will almost triple capacity at one of the Group’s most established neighbourhoods. Up to 46 Ku-band transponders, depending on operations, will be connected to a wide footprint of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, and a second beam over southern Africa and Indian Ocean islands. Ten C-band transponders will provide coverage of Africa, extending east to central Asia and west to Latin America. Services in the S-band will enable Solaris Mobile to deploy mobile video broadcasting applications across Europe for a host of mobile devices including phones, PDAs, iPods, games consoles and laptops. The S-band will also be able to support the deployment of mobile interactive applications of particular benefit for the transport and automotive sectors.

Geographic Channel HD, Eurosport HD, History HD, Voom HD, Luxe TV HD, Melody Zen HD and German music channel Anixe HD. Subscriptions to the HD service are available for HRK 49 (EUR 6.60) per month to users who sign up for 12 months.

CZECH REPUBLIC TELEFONICA O2 ENDS 2008 WITH 115.000 IPTV SUBSCRIBERS

Telefónica O2 ended 2008 with 115.000 subscribers for its IPTV service O2 TV, compared to 108.061 at the end of last September. O2 TV offers up to 80 linear channels, with premium offerings provided by HBO and Cinemax, as well as delivering a VOD service, which has on-demand content deals with a number of Hollywood studios.

EUTELSAT HOT BIRD 10 SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED

Orange reported a 66% growth in pay-TV customers across its IPTV and satellite platforms in Europe last year, rising from 1.2 million at the end of 2007 to 2.1 million by the end of 2008. The France Telecom-backed company had 1.9 million subscribers in France, out of which with 201.000 subscribing to the DTH service and around 1.7 million to the IPTV service. Domstic VOD downloads more than doubled, rising from 5.1 million in 2007 to 12.1 million in 2008. Furthermore, the recently-launched Orange sport channel and Orange cinema series channels had 130.000 subscribers by the end of 2008.

Eutelsat Communications’ Hot Bird 10 satellite was successfully launched on February 12 by an Ariane 5 ECA rocket from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The EADS-Astrium built satellite will be deployed at the 13 degrees East orbital position, providing coverage of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. It will have a lifetime in orbit of 15 years and is equipped with 64 Ku-band transponders in the frequency band 10.7-12.75 GHz. Prior to joining 13 degrees East HOT BIRD 10 will consequently be deployed to 7 degrees West to expand capacity at this key neighbourhood for broadcasting in the Middle East.

SES Astra has moved the Astra 2C satellite from 28.2 degrees East to the orbital position 31.5 degrees East to take over the mission of Astra 5A which is no longer in service. It will remain approximately there for one year. Meanwhile, the services transmitted via 28.2 degrees East will continue to be broadcast from the other satellites co-located at this orbital position. Astra 2C will be able to operate 24 BSS transponders at 31.5 degrees East, thereby continuing the commercialization of this orbital position. After the launch of Astra 3B in the fourth quarter of 2009 and its subsequent deployment, another in-orbit satellite will be moved to 31.5 degrees East, permitting the return of Astra 2C to 28.2 degrees East and to enhance capacity at this orbital position.

Consulting company Detecon International expects that Germany will cross the threshold of 5 million IPTV subscribers by 2013. The prediction is based on current analyses of subscriber figures for the largest German and foreign IPTV providers. One reason given for the predicted growth is that German IPTV providers have readjusted their business models by adding integrated and flexible products and emphasising more strongly the features of IPTV which set the service apart from traditional broadcasting and Web-to-peer or peer-to-peer TV programming, which is also Internet-based. Deutsche Telekom has cut the subscription fees for its IPTV service T-Home Entertain by up to 10%, as part of an initiative to reach 1 million triple-play subscribers by the end of this year. The Comfort, Comfort Plus and Premium packages have each seen their monthly rates cut by around €5 per month, with the cheapest package now starting at €44.95 per month, and the new prices will apply to all new contracts. The price cut comes as DT revealed that it is aiming to pass 1 million IPTV customers by the end of this year.

Around the world there are still countries where it is not allowed to operate a satellite receiver and/or dish. And it is not unthinkable that in such countries you can expect a visit from the authorities to have a look at your living room. The usual satellite receivers are then easily found. But also in our modernised world, landlords or local authorities often don’t accept satellite dishes for several reasons. In our next issue we will report on the CubSat dish, a small and almost invisible dish that could be used in all these cases. Another market for smaller equipment is the group of people who own a recreational vehicle. The smaller the receiver, the better.

For whatever reason you might want a small satellite receiver, the new PalmSat 9500 from Praxis will do a perfect job. It comes in the size only only four cigarette packs. Small, but with a lot of analogue power inside. With these small dimensions we may call it a miracle how Praxis managed to put so many connections on such a small area. A small display on the front shows the current channel ID. And although it is small, it is still very good readable. This PalmSat 9500 can store up to 400 analogue channels. Praxis even found some place for the three emergency operation buttons. A foil on the front has a print on what the box is. So if you remove it, nobody can tell immediately what the box is and what is does. The small dimensions made it impossible to use Scart connectors, so there are only phono connectors for video and audio (still in stereo, of course.) Two LNB inputs are present; one for C-band and the other for Ku-band. For use with the C-band even a servo-polariser terminal can be found at the back of this box. Another terminal supplies 0/12 Volt for an external switch. Of course, universal LNBs are supplied with the usual 14/18-Volt to switch polarity. Even an RF-output is built in. It is software adjustable and converts the satellite signal to be

received with older TV sets on any channel in the UHF band alongside the existing terrestrial signals. With so much universal power, it should also be able to operate all around the world. Therefore, Praxis designed it to do its job with any current between 60 and 260 VAC (50/60Hz). A first look at the remote control may give the impression it is very big. But with so much functionality it is impossible to make it smaller. Special buttons are available for a wide variety of menus, but also for the Low-threshold extension (no kidding, this tiny box has got one, and even in 32 steps), help and setting the on-screen display language.

Recent new products from Amstrad included analogue receivers only. Still, the need for a digital box in their product range was very high. However, the big issue for Amstrad was whether it should be an free-to-air receiver or whether it should feature Common Access slots as well? With the introduction of the new SRD4101, they have decided for FTA. The result is a box offering unlimited access to all free channels on the digital television highway. The Amstrad SRD 4101 comes in a sturdy metal housing; a box to which you can connect and de-connect without the box moving all around. It

doesn’t develop much heat and can easily be placed under an existing heap of equipment. The metal housing also protects it from any interference from the outside. On the front, we found the emergency operation buttons, which not only allow changing channels but also switching between radio to TV. At the back, two Scart connectors, phono audio out jacks and an additional phono video output take care of the connections to the outside world. An ‘older’ analogue receiver can be connected to the LNB output, so there is no need to install a 12V switch. Of course, you can also connect an ADR receiver to this output. A terrestrial antenna signal can be connected as well, which indicates there’s also a built-in RF modulator. It is software-controlled and can be set to any channel on the UHF band. Of course, the SRD 4101 features a 12V-control signal, which can supply a current of up to 50mA, which is a little poor. The RS232 serial interface can be used to connect the box to a PC for uploading settings and new firmware. It supports up to 19.2kBd. The remote control features 22 buttons and a numeric keypad. It is a somewhat universal version, since there are buttons without any functionality such as the TXT button. Of course, the SRD 4101 features teletext, but this is sent to the TV set, so have to use your TV’s remote for access. In daily use, you will only use about six buttons of the remote control.Most important for users that are new to digital satellite TV reception is the receiver’s initial installation. What do you have to do? Well, this receiver gives you a wide variety of options when you first start it up, like the language for on-screen display. Here you can choose from French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, English and German. This also goes for the subtitles and audio carriers. After that, you have to set the Scart connectors and select the screen format (4:3/16:9). Up to eight dishes can be programmed. The SRD 4101 also supports DiSEqC so you can control a DiSEqC-capable motorised dish. All common LOFs are supported, including 5.150 GHz for C-band reception. Aligning your dish is made easier with the built-in measuring tools. They not only indicate the signal strength but the bit error rate (BER) as well. Finding new channels and storing them is a doddle. You can perform a network search for which you only have to enter a start frequency. But you can also search for a single signal, even SCPC. Whenever you feel like entering the PIDs, you can do so in the advanced mode, although the box is perfectly capable of finding the right PID codes itself. Finally you can also have an auto install performed. This may overwrite existing date in the box, but on the other hand there is nothing you need to do.Although it may seem like a lot to do before you can enjoy the show, in fact it is only a few minutes’ work. Even without the manual it only took us no longer to catch the first signals in both Ku-band and C-band and on different satellites. It was remarkable how fast this box reacts to every command. In

programming but also in daily use this receiver is a really speedy. Switching channels is performed almost immediately, and the channel information is displayed at the bottom of the screen almost right away. EPG programming information is immediately available, if supplied by the programme provider. We tested both MCPC and SCPC signals, but couldn’t find any problem with either. PowerVu was a little bit more difficult for the SRD 4101. But then again, PowerVu is not DVB compliant. Signal rates from 2.5Mb/s and above are of no problem to this Amstrad box. So we tested the C-band—no problem at all, and digital feeds on various satellites could be received as well. The receiver found all the channels on the Astra satellite system in about 5 minutes, which is remarkably fast, compared to the 23 minutes some other boxes need.

The software never crashed and appeared to be very stable even under heavy-use conditions. Another nice feature is called Skip. It will omit all encrypted channels. This will save you time (otherwise needed for browsing through unwanted scrambled channels,) and besides the receiver’s memory will have more room for the channels you really want. To us, the Amstrad SRD 4101 appeared as a true and dedicated FTA receiver, operating very fast and reliably. Although Amstrad specifies 1,000 channels as maximum capacity, in practice we found that this figure was somewhat less. This is not too important because of the Skip option for scrambled channels. The manual can be easily put away, since operating this box is really child’s play. Using the televisions’ teletext decoder instead of building one in the Amstrad is a very clever solution since this means a much better and clearer teletext display. A thorough and sturdy box, not only physical, but in operation as well.FSM 204 SAT-TV Spektrum-Analyzer A level meter and a spectrum analyzer are two of the costlier pieces of equipment that can easily drain an installer’s budget. Therefore it is a logical consequence that only instruments are accepted that both serve well in the lab and up on the roof. These units must not only feature a built-in monitor and a rechargeable battery pack, but also a robust chassis that protects the sensitive electronic equipment. After all, the conditions up on a customer’s roof can hardly be described as ideal for expensive equipment. Installers looking for a one-4-all unit also expect the analyzer to handle the whole frequency band which ranges from 40 to 850 MHz for terrestrial signals and from 950 to 2150 MHz for the satellite signals. Only if these demands are satisfied an installer will be able to set-up and check a client’s antenna system which is used for FM, terrestrial TV and satellite signals. German company Doebis has recently introduced its JAEGER FSM204 portable level meter and spectrum analyzer which is offered at a competitive price and may even be bought by individual satellite enthusiasts and not only by professional installers. With a weight of 8.5 kg the FSM204 is not exactly a light-weight, but if one takes into account that the unit comes with a built-in monitor and a battery back that guarantees two hours of uninterrupted power supply the weight is somewhat acceptable. The terrestrial frequency range extends from 45 to 862 MHz and the IF range for satellite signals goes from 950 to 2150 MHz. The FSM204 is primarily used for the evaluation of analog satellite signals. We did some preliminary tests on a purely digital satellite (like the two DFS of Deutsche Telekom) and were able to meter the signal strength of digital bouquets, if the peaks on the spectrum analyzer are metered. However, it is not possible to determine the quality of digital signals. After all, comparable units for digital signals are twice as expensive.

Although it comes with a very long name, this new measuring tool is one of the smallest professional analyzers we have seen so far. It has been designed for measuring analogue and digital signals. It is light-weighted, only 1.3kg, and is very small. It comes in a yellow carrying case, which also has room for adapters and other accessories. A shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. A first look at this device will show you that is must be easy to operate. It doesn’t feature many buttons, which most of the times are hard to reach. No just a few buttons, seven to be precise, will do the trick. And that is just what you need when you are high up on the roof, in combination with a two-line LC display (16 characters each.) The SDA-5 from Digisky is designed for measuring satellite signals only, and can therefore only handle signals between 950 and 2150MHz. This way you won’t pay for things you don’t need. For terrestrial signals, RO.VE. R offers the TDA-4, which looks the same. For analogue signals, the measuring takes place in dBµV or dBm together with a C/N figure. Additionally, you can test external devices like LNBs and multiswitches. If problems with cross-polarisation occur, in most cases this is caused by miss-configuration caused by not using proper measuring equipment. Use the SDA-5 to reach a perfect offset for your LNB. For analogue channels, a quick glimpse of the screen will do a lot. But for digital signals this is impossible. There is only one way to measure the quality of digital signals: facts and numbers. Good measuring with good measuring equipment is the answer. A simple signal strength measuring tool won’t help. It is the very strength that doesn’t say much about the digital quality of it. For digital signals, the quality is measured in BER (Bit Error Rate), before and after Viterbi. You will need a tool like the SDA-5 from Digisky for real professional installations and measuring. A perfect BER depends on the size of the dish, LNB and cable lengths and quality of the multiswitches in between. This Digisky will continuously show this figure. Teleworking has been some kind of utopia for many years. Geographically separated offices only could communicate using expensive data lines, using low data rates and being only suitable for slow traffic. For larger files good old snail mail was just the answer. And although video conferences has been around for many years now, most of the time it is based on ISDN lines, with a maximum of 128Kb (at double rate.) For data-intensive requirements, such as for instance an advertising agency wanting to show their latest commercial, it is far too slow. And another problem is the absolute lack of compatibility between the different platforms around. The introduction of MPEG2 meant a full globally compatible digital platform for transferring satellite television and radio. But the DVB standard can also integrate packages of business information. This way it created a cost-effective way to have permanent on-line connections to all branch offices. Not only data, but with video and audio as well. Now it is possible to show that new commercial without visible or audible quality loss. For training purposes, you can think of the possibilities regarding remote education. You can cut the cost for travelling and hotels, and organising training by satellite is done much faster and easier. Back channels are of course possible although they still use landlines. In future, this will be also done via satellite; offering higher speeds and a full interactive solution.

RO.VE.R. SDA-5 Digisky

DVBeam IP Card

Nowadays, Internet connections are a must for every company. Transferring data between two branch offices using an ISDN connection to the Internet, will take a lot of time when larger files are involved. For instance, a 120Mb file will take up to several hours to transfer. Using a satellite connection this can be reduced to 36 minutes. Almost all satellite operators offer the same platform, but there is still a big need on PC hard/software. Enter the DVBeam IP-Card from Sican. It integrates all we have discussed so far: Business-TV, Internet on satellite, satellite radio and TV (MPEG2, European DVB). You can use it as a simple MPEG-2 receiver, but it can do much more than just that: it can turn your PC into a real multimedia terminal.

At TSI, we recently received a pre-production sample. Although we expected a lot of trouble installing this test board, we were really surprised by the ease of installation. As long as you use Windows NT4, Windows 95 or Windows 98 there is no real problem. For Windows NT4 you need to do the installation yourself, on Windows 95 and 98 the system will recognise the card and install all drivers and software needed. The minimum system requirement is a PC with at least 90MHz. But Sican suggest a better performance with at least a 166MHz, and this is true. The same goes for the minimum memory requirements: 16Mb, but in practice just ensure that your system has at least 32Mb of RAM installed. The VGA card should be of the SVGA type and should use DirectX.

The PC card for TV reception introduced here supports only terrestrial signals. However, we were so delighted with both the features and the quality of the card that the most urgent question was “why is there no similar card for satellite reception?” The answer is that a satellite receiver card is in the making, but the exact schedule of introduction is not available yet. So this report can also be seen as preview of good things to come. With the Terra TV+ card usability is no empty promise: even the system requirements are extremely consumer friendly. With a 90-MHz PC all features can be used and expensive upgrading is unnecessary. Windows 95 or 98 are a must, plus—of course—a PCI 2.2 card slot. A free interrupt should also be available, but unless your PC is really crammed with extras, this should pose no problem. (While PCI cards in theory are able to share interrupts, this may not always be the case with up-to-date graphics cards, so it’s advisable to have a spare interrupt available.) The software comes on CD ROM, so a CD ROM drive is also necessary for installation, and in order to enjoy stereo sound active loudspeakers should be connected to the sound card. For the graphics display a standard PCI or AGP VGA video card will do as long it supports Direct Draw and video overlay. As a matter of fact most video cards will work with the Terra TV+ card, and the user’s manual includes a comprehensive list of compatible cards. From ATI (Mach3/Rage) and Hercules to Dynamite 128 and Voodoo Rush, all major video cards will operate flawlessly with the Terra TV+ card. After the card is installed your Windows PC will automatically detect the new hardware and start the installation procedure from the included CD ROM. In case the automatic installation does not work owing to system conflicts, the user’s manual features a detailed step-by-step guide to manual installation. In case DirectX is not installed, the CD ROM has all the necessary drivers. The card is connecting to the outside world through quite a few sockets. A standard antenna plug is used for the signal input from a terrestrial antenna or cable network. In case the input comes from a VCR or camera, there’s a phono jack which serves as video input. An additional jack for Y/C signals is included so that the excellent quality of this signal can actually make it right onto the screen. External audio signals can be fed in; the sound can either be output to a pair of active loudspeakers or to the PC’s sound card (a connection cable is included.) Similar to a satellite receiver, the card needs to know which channels are available, so it starts an extremely quick automatic tuning process. Since the Terra TV+ card can be used in all corners of the world you first have to choose the region

Terra TV+ PCI Stereo TV Card

(e.g. Western Europe), so that the card knows which TV systems to use (in our case PAL B, D, G, H and I). That’s about all the setting up that’s needed. No matter if you use the card for your big screen home cinema or your 14-inch PC monitor (while working with other application), the video quality is very good and there are no distortions, not even in full-screen mode. Up to 64 channels can be previewed in small windows, so it’s the ideal tool for the notorious zapper. Thanks to the composite and Y/C input jacks external signals can be displayed, a freeze frame can be created or screen shots can be stored on the hard disk. Furthermore, the Ulead Video Studio 3.0 software is included, which allows you to professionally work with your images, cut your own movies and create whole video sequences with text or graphics. So in essence, you get a professional video machine in addition to the TV card. Dubbing and a range of 100 digital video effects are also included. The software alone is worth every cent of the retail price of approximately EUR115.
