OM6000 OEM Satellite Modulator Board
Being fully compliant with the S2 Extensions standard for Digital Video Broadcasting over Satellite (DVB-S2X), the OEM satellite modulator board OM6000 offers the following advantages:
- Backward compatible to the former NTC/7029, NTC/7039 and NTC/7139 OEM modulator boards in form-fit-function
- IF or L-band output selectable by software command
- Clean Channel Technology® compliant
- Support for all S2 Extensions modulation schemes and DVB-S, DVB-DSBNG and DVB-S2 standards
- Addition of a simple ASI interface
- RF Carrier ID compliant (fully managed by the OM6000)
ST Engineering iDirect’s Satellite OEM Modulator board Supports S2 Extensions and ModCods up to 64APSK and is software upgradeable to the DVB-S2X standard.
his product provides the OEM integrator a smooth upgrade path starting as a drop-in replacement for current functionality (Form Fit Function backward compatible with NTC/7029, NTC/7039 and NTC/7139) and moving towards Newtec state of the art technology features. A new logical JSON-RPC based management interface is introduced, replacing the legacy RMCP protocol. This interface can be accessed through a couple of physical interfaces: serial as used for RMCP or serial and Ethernet as used for JSON-RPC, depending on the interposer board.
The board has been designed for both DVB contribution and distribution. It handles symbol rates from 0.05 up to 72 Msps applicable to all modulation schemes compliant to DVB-S2X (acc. DVB document A83-2, excluding VL-SNR), the EN 302307 DVB-S2, EN 301210 DVB-DSNG and EN 300421 DVB-S Standards and S2 Extensions.
Both the high data rate (72 Msps) and the choice of modulation standards and modulation schemes allow it to work in full compliance with the most recent commercially available IRD’s and demodulators.
The user can upgrade different rate capabilities after ordering the corresponding license file.
The integrated DVB modulator provides a comprehensive range of monitoring and control functions. It has a built-in PRBS pattern generator. When used with Newtec demodulators, this feature enables link testing without additional test equipment.
The R1.1 release has a dedicated interposer board for backward compatibility. Its 50-pin connector guarantees backward compatibility with previous generations of boards but excludes the use of the ASI and Ethernet interfaces. The flat cable is attached to the interface board and has a female 50-pin header. The RMCP protocol supports monitoring & control as well as license upgrades. The JSON-RPC protocol is needed for firmware upgrades.
