1.1 / VENTUS System Overview
1.2 / VENTUS Development Concept
1. VENTUS 2.0 / Introduction
VENTUS is a product that broke away from the existing measurement system. It is designed so that it can be con-
nected to the user’s PC or notebook USB interface. It is a portable measurement system unlike the existing Signal
Generator. It can be used for many purposes such as development, product demonstration, marketing, and domestic
and overseas business trip purposes.
Basically, it consists of ASI-INPUT, ASI-OUTPUT port, RF Modulator, and RF Upconverter. If the user wants, any DTV SD
format in the world can be used. DTV SD formats supported by VENUS are as follows.
DVB-T/H, DVB-C (A,C), ATSC(8VSB), ATSC-M/H, OpenCable, ISDB-T/Tb,
T-DMB/DAB+, CMMB, DTMB, DVB-T2, DVB-S2
VENTUS solution can be used to test all DTV SD formats in the world. It is a All-in-One type measurement solution. As
it is a portable product, it has maximized user convenience.

Pump has the interface for USB IN/OUT and ASI IN/OUT RF OUT(Data). Also it has 8M Byte or 16M Byte’s Hardware Buf-
fer inside the pump. Pump’s mode are RF OUT. RF OUT Raw. ASI OUT. ASI IN. ASI IN to RF OUT. Please reference below
explains, VTS_PumpMode_t type declaration and the PumpSet Mode function.
RF OUT Mode: This mode is that MPEG transmit stream (TS, Transport Stream), ports by USB IN, sends it as RF
OUT(Data) through H/W buer.
RF OUT Raw Mode: This mode is received the reated byte stream at software through USB INand sends it as RF OUT
(date) through H/W buer.
ASI OUT Mode: This mode is to get MPEG TS by USB IN, then put it out as ASI OUT through H/W buer.
ASI IN Mode: This mode is to get MPEG TS by ASI IN, then put it out to USB OUT through H/W buer. Also, this mode
is possible to output as selective ASI OUT at the same time.
ASI IN to RF OUT Mode: This mode is to get MPEG TS by ASI IN, then put it out to RF OUT. Also, this mode is possible
to output as selective ASI OUT at the same time.
VENTUS device is possible to transmit DTV Skill Standard by RF through USB Interface between VENTUS and PC or
Notebook.
