7780MD Series
DVB-S/S2/S2X L-Band and IF Satellite Modulators
Revision 1.0 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
The 7780MD series is a complete hardware based professional DVB-S/S2 DVB-S2X (Broadcast and
DSNG profiles) standard. Satellite modulator solution, able to process data rates up to 200 Mbps with
high-order modulation schemes up to 64APSK. This module works conjointly with Evertz encoders and
various other 7800 series modular products, all integrated in the same chassis in infinitely flexible
combinations. The 7780MD modulator series rounds out a best-in-class and highly flexible encoder to
uplink solution.
Monitoring parameters such as input bit rate, occupied bandwidth, output level and transmit status
provide extensive information on modulator status and signal quality. These parameters as well as full
control of the modulator are relayed over SNMP, for intuitive remote access using Evertz’s own
VistaLINK PRO SNMP monitoring and control package.
