In order to improve the efficiency of their satellite transponders, operators need reliable monitoring systems to help them achieve their objectives.

Pixelmetrix introduces DVStation-211, a multi-port, multi-layer monitoring system uniquely deigned for 8PSK/DVB-S2 test and measurement.

DVB-S2 ALSF (Advanced Satellite Line Interface) is a multi-standard solution for the monitoring of digital satellite transmission. It supports DVB-S2, DVB-DSNG and DVB-S modulation of MPEG-2 transport streams.

Together with DVB-S2 ALSF, not only does the DVStation-211 allow operators to monitor their satellite transmissions just before they uplink the signal at their headend/transmission center, the DVStation-211 can also help ensure adequate quality and coverage area in the satellite transmission footprint.

Moreover, the DVStation-211 enables operators to reach the optimum Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) in order to achieve the best power utilization on their satellites. As there is inherently no in-band back-channel to ensure quality, the DVStation-211 will verify the reliability of all satellite transmissions from Ku-band spot beams to C-band wide beams.

With an accurate front-end and transport stream analysis technology, the DVStation-211 delivers the most promising 8PSK/DVB-S2 monitoring solution to satellite operators.
