Newtec Satcom Horizon Series Dual Satellite Receiver and Deconcentrator HZ932
Cost-effective and easy to implement broadcast technology compared to traditional multiplexer solutions
HZ932 Dual Satellite Receiver and Deconcentrator
This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the M6100 series.
The HZ932 equips transmission towers with satellite receivers in a budget-friendly way for transparent and efficient transport of content which are key elements in the primary distribution of terrestrial and mobile TV.
The Satcom Horizon Series HZ932 is the new member in the deconcentrator product family. It merges the functionalities of two HZ-930 deconcentrator units into a single unit. The HZ932 makes use of the innovative proprietary concentration technology by Newtec. This technology combines up to 8 MPEG Transport streams into a single stream without changing their content. The resulting stream remains compatible with MPEG/DVB transmission equipment such as modulators or ATM interfaces.
Fully Integrated
The HZ932 is installed at the receiving end of Newtec concentrator solution. This unit integrates two independent demodulators enabling it to receive two satellite signals simultaneously and extract up to 4 transport streams from each of them.
The high level of integration offers a cost and space efficient solution for highly demanding distribution environments and large scale deployments. The dual demodulator allows a multi-transponder configuration as the high number of Transport streams may exceed the capacity of one transponder.
DVB
The HZ-932 supports both DVB-S and DVB-S2 modulation standards. A descrambling feature has been added to protect each stream individually against piracy The 932 is easy to operate and monitor. All control and monitoring parameters are available locally on the front panel and remotely through a web interface. It is also possible to control or monitor the HZ 932 via RMCP or SNMP.
Key features
• Dual demodulator for simultaneous reception of two independent carriers.
• Deconcentrates each bundled Transport stream into 4 individual ASI streams
• Fully transparent and efficient transport of content without compromising the integrity of the original signal.
• Compliant to SFN requirements
• Each individual Transport stream can be descrambled independently
• Matrix routing enables extracting individual Transport streams from the concentrated bundle in order to send over to various access points in the network.
Key advantages
• Reduced capital investment on hub and remote sites
• Lower operational costs thanks to efficient use of transmission bandwidth
• Cost-effective and easy to implement technology compared to traditional multiplexer solutions
• Protection of the data content against unauthorized access by other parties.

Primary digital TV distribution
Newtec has engineered the perfect solution to increase the efficiency of satellite bandwidth usage. Transport streams from different broadcasters or intended for different regions can be bundled on the same satellite carrier. Cable head-ends and terrestrial/mobile TV remote transmitters can now benefit from optimized feeder links over satellite. Additionally this solution is fully compatible with SFN requirements and allows protecting the different transport streams independently.
ASI networking and routing
The matrix routing function enables routing between the multiple inputs and the multiple outputs of the concentrator and deconcentrator devices. In a cabled or wireless network, the combined Transport streams can be deconcentrated and the signals extracted individually in order to send the required Transport streams to various access points in the network.
