DVB-S/S2 TO DVB-T TRANSMODULATOR
CompactMax-1
1INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
The CompactMax-1 is a compact transmodulation system that allows you to
distribute Satellite TV channels (DVB-S or DVB-S2) in Digital Terrestrial
Television (DVB-T) format.
The CompactMax-1 has 4 satellite inputs. Two inputs are for free channels and
the other two inputs for encrypted channels. There are also two slots to insert a
Card Access Module (CAM) to decrypt these channels and one input for RF
loopthrough.
The CompactMax-1 extracts the sequence of digital data (Transport Stream) of
DVB-S/S2 signal. TS tables are regenerated (PAT, PMTs, SDT and NIT). Then
signal is modulated again in DVB-T format, in order to distribute it in RF. After
going through this process, the signal of the DVB-T module can be inserted into a
television distribution network. The output signal has high quality, allowing its
way through multiple amplifier stages, drifters, long cables, etc.
The CompactMax-1 is managed through a webserver via remote control (LAN or
internet) and it is compatible with any standard browser. The webserver is easy
to use and has multiple setting options.
The CompactMax-1 is integrated into a 19” (1U high) rack-mount case, which
fits in any TV head-end installation. It can also be mounted directly on the wall.
Among the practical applications of this transmodulator are:
•Filter services in order to choose what DVB-S/S2 channels will become
DVB-T.
•Restoration of quality in a weak signal.
•To move DVB-T channels from one frequency to other.
•To avoid degradation of signal.
•To avoid overlapping on other channels.
•To distribute encrypted programmes as free view in an internal TV
network.
•To use as a TV repeater to cover shadow areas.

It can be used in hotels, convention centres, hospitals, ships, emblematic
buildings, mansions, etc.
