AZ410 Series SNG Satellite Modem

This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Newtec M6100.

The AZ410 is a state-of-the-art satellite modem designed for broadcast contribution and DSNG applications over satellite. The AZ410 allows transmitting and receiving simultaneously transport stream(s) and/or IP services in full compliance with the DVB standards.

To simplify the migration towards IP, the AZ410 features DualFlow (combined ASI+Ethernet interface), providing broadcasters the following capabilities.:

- The ability to transmit up to two transport streams and receive up to two transport streams simultaneously in DVB-S2 Multistream mode via two ASI input and two ASI output interfaces.

- The ability to interface (via the GbE input/output) with equipment or networks that carry transport streams over IP with the UDP/RTP protocol (the IP layer is removed by the modulator before transmission).

- The ability to transmit and receive IP services (fi le transfers, VoIP, TCP services…) and transport stream(s) simultaneously. In this case the modulator performs the encapsulation of the IP data in XPE mode.

- The ability to transmit and receive IP services or transport stream(s) alternatively. In this case the modulator performs the encapsulation of the IP data in XPE or MPE mode.

- The ability to configure Quality of Service (QoS) of the IP traffic, while keeping absolute priority to the ASI streams

VCM Streaming

When several transport streams and/or IP services are transmitted simultaneously, the Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM) option allows each service or stream to be modulated with its own parameters.

At the output of the modulator, the signal is available on an L-band interface. Extended L-Band, IF band as well as HPA power supply and reference frequency are available as configuration options. When activated, the unique linear and non- linear pre-distortion option Equalink provides an additional link margin improvement of up to 2,5dB.

On the receive side, the AZ410 has a dual L-band input( 950-2150 MHz). The active input is selected by the user and can provide DC power and frequency band selection signals compatible with most professional and commercial LNBs. Optionally, one L-band input can be replaced by an IF (50-180MHz) input. An adaptive equalizer compensates linear distortion of the transmission channel.

The integrated Noise and Distortion Estimator (NoDE) tool provides an accurate reading of the satellite link margin even in presence of non-linear distortion and allows the user to find the optimum input back-off setting very easily for 16APSK or 32APSK operation, whether or not non-linear pre-distortion is applied .
