Application
The TRM84 is composed of a 3RACK with a DTVRR12 and DTVDM4F module. The combination of these modules
allows the conversation of satellite signals using DVBS or DVBS2 modulation in DVBT or DVBC signals.
The DTVRR12 module has 4 inputs and integrates a 4x8 multiswitch. The 8 tuners (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) can select the
satellite signal from inputs 1,2,3 and 4. After demodulation the received programs are available as a transport stream
and are then fed into the DTVDM4F modulator.
The DTVDM4F is a 4 channel flexible modulator. The modulation can be DVBT or DVBC. The output of the 4 channels
can be freely selected in the VHF and UHF range. The level of each output channel can be adjusted indepedently.

4- Programming
4.1 - Programming the DTVRR12
First of all, define for each input (1..4) the tone, polarity and DiSEqc command.
When the settings are valid and a signal is received, the letter of the tuner will turn GREEN.
When no signal is present or the settings are incorrect, the letter of the tuner will be RED.When the satellite tuner is
locked (signal found), but the module is identifying the programs received, the letter of the tuner will be ORANGE,
indicating that the module is analysing the information.
When the tuner is not activated the letter of the tuner will have a GREY color.
For each tuner the DTVRR12 will indicate the power and quality (C/N) of the mux received.
Once defined, program the necessary tuners (A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H) .
For each tuner needed, please follow this procedure :
a/ Activate the tuner
b/ Select the satellite input that is needed for that tuner (1,2,3 or 4)
b/ Fill in the satellite frequency. You can use the real frequency (fi12188 MHz) or the intermediate frequency (fi.
1528 MHz). In any case when you use the real frequency the software will immediately convert this frequency to the
intermedate frequency.
c/ Set the symbol rate and select if the standard is DVBS or DVBS2
d/ Repeat this procedure for all tuners needed. If a tuner is not needed, it is better not to activate it in order to reduce
the power consumption in the module.
