Solutions for the satellite market
A typical network overview
Power and flexibility in signal acquisition and distribution
Appear TV offers high-performance equipment designed with the needs of satellite operators in mind. Our product portfolio can be used in a number of applications. Flexible, high functionality and powerful solutions help enable operators to build tomorrow’s solutions.
The SC2000 can receive signals from a variety of sources including satellite (DVB-S/S2), terrestrial (DVB-T), cable (QAM), IP networks or local ASI feeds. Selected services are then descrambled (and scrambled) and multiplexed before being fed to high capacity streaming output (IP or ASI) modules to feed third party multiplexers and modulators.
Streaming between signal acquisition and uplink locations
The modularity of Appear TV solutions makes them ideal for operators who need to perform signal acquisition at a different location before multiplexing and uplinking, thereby requiring transmission between sites. Using Appear TV equipment, operators can acquire, descramble, scramble and multiplex content over QPSK in one location, and stream it over IP or ASI to the uplink location.
IP content acquisition
Appear TV offers the most complete, flexible and scalable playout solutions. Our head-ends enable operators to acquire content over IP (for instance directly from studios) over a high capacity IP link. Content is descrambled and selected services scrambled if required. Streams can then be distributed via IP or ASI to IRDs for decoding and re-encoding, or directly to a multiplex.
Flexible scrambling solution
Appear TV’s powerful scrambling solution enables encryption (CSA and AES scrambling) and streaming. The streaming solutions support MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 for HD and SD services.
Service monitoring
Appear TV head-ends offer superior service monitoring solution. They enable high density of audio-visual outputs (up to 30 per chassis). In addition, the intuitive web management interface offers simple input statistics as well as alarm monitoring.
