Prezados Leitores
O senso comum parece sugerir que o sistema HDTV pertence TV por assinatura, isto signica que supostamente deveremos pagar por contedo de alta denio, enquanto que o sistema SDTV permanece disponvel free-to-air. Se olharmos em torno de pases com canais HD instalados e a funcionar na realidade parece apoiar esta ideia. No entanto, se olharmos para alguns pases a questo de saber se tudo o que brilha realmente ouro, ou por outras palavras: Ser que realmente temos HD apenas porque um canal usa o rtulo HD? Nem por isso! Em alguns pases, qualquer transmisso digital tem a marca HD, de modo que signica que SD para o sistema analgico assim como HD para o sistema digital - e pronto. O prprio termo alta denio em si est sujeito a uma interpretao bastante liberal e em muitos casos determinada pelo departamento de marketing de redes em vez de estabelecer globalmente as especicaes tcnicas. Provavelmente algures no futuro o sistema HD passar a ser uma extenso universal para qualquer canal. Isto signica que um dia vamos apenas receber canais em HDTV? E quem ter a palavra nal sobre o que e o que no HD? A maioria dos canais disponveis em HD so transmitimos de forma simples e honesta aumentando a resoluo das suas ofertas habituais. Mas que sentido faz isto se as suas set-top boxes em HDTV so capazes de melhorar virtualmente a qualidade da resoluo e em praticamente qualquer fonte de material HD? Como espectadores, no estamos interessados em saber se a imagem que vemos no televisor uma resoluo melhorada do fornecedor ou feita pelo nosso receptor. E se seguirmos esta linha de raciocnio, poderia at mesmo ir to longe como armar que todas as pessoas que tiverem em sua casa um receptor HDTV conseguem ver todos os canais em alta denio. Pelo menos somos levados a acreditar nisso. Sendo assim, como podemos saber se uma transmisso HDTV realmente nativa de HD? A resposta Simples: Ns no podemos! A nica forma de saber com certeza olhar bem de perto para no ecr e vericar certas caractersticas da imagem, isto um trabalho bastante exaustivo para qualquer pessoa. A propsito, algum se lembra da misticao do Hi-Fi sobre a recepo de rdio em FM algumas dcadas atrs? At o rdio porttil mais barato surgiu com a distino do smbolo Hi-Fi, embora o som produzido que muito longe disso. Neste momento temos esta experincia dj-vu relativamente ao sistema em HDTV. H bem pouco tempo, todos os canais de TV, cada receptor e cada painel televisivo eram vangloriados como sendo HD. Independentemente do que realmente apresentava. o admirvel novo mundo HDTV, e o melhor ser todos acostumar-nos a isso.

12-01/201 1
Na edio anterior da TELE-satlite (08-09/2010) falamos sobre o AB IPBox, um novo fabricante de receptores na Eslovquia. Neste momento temos em nossas mos o seu modelo principal, o AB IPBox 9900HD Plus. Este modelo com sintonizador duplo vem com dois sintonizadores DVB-S2. Tambm est disponvel o modelo 9900HD que idntico, excepto pode escolher o segundo sintonizador para DVB-S, DVB-C (cabo) ou DVB-T (terrestre). Todos os receptores IPBox desta gama utilizam Enigma2 HD- uma verso do sistema operacional de cdigo aberto Linux. E por isso, efectivamente um computador especialista em receber sinais de satlite numa caixa de receptor de satlite. A quantidade de funes e opes disponveis so incrveis, e a promessa de novos add-ons e plug-ins faz com que esta experincia seja realmente emocionante para aquelas pessoas que gostam de personalizar e melhorar.

O nosso modelo para testes veio numa caixa branca de metal, que faz a diferena do habitual preto ou prateado. O painel frontal est decorado com um elegante design floral que certamente destaca-se dos outros. Acho que poderiam ser crislidas, mas no quero citar sobre isso. Tambm est disponvel a verso a preto. O painel frontal tem os botes necessrios abaixo do visor para efectuar as operaes bsicas. O visor realmente brilhante, o suficiente para dar um brilho azul/verde numa sala escura. Quando acabamos de ver televiso numa sala escura com o receptor por debaixo do televisor, uma das primeiras coisas que ia comear a procurar seria de um aplicativo para reduzir a iluminao no escuro. Isto pode tornar-se factor de distraco. Outra alternativa, embora no to graciosa, fazer como eu fiz que colocar uma caixa de DVD frente do visor!
Na parte inferior do painel frontal temos duas CAMs, duas entradas para cartes Conax e uma porta USB. Temos uma porta USB adicional na parte traseira que mais adequado para uma conexo organizada de um disco rgido externo e tambm temos a opo de conectar um HD SATA externo. Cada uma das duas entradas do sintonizador tem uma sada loopthrough correspondente. Tem quase todas as ligaes para todos os sistemas possveis de udio e vdeo: Duas fichas scart, vdeo composto e vdeo componente, HDMI, S/PDIF e um modulador UHF para bombear a imagem pelos cabos de antena para o televisor. Tambm vem com uma sada 0/12V, ultimamente difcil de encontrar, mas sempre bem-vindo para aqueles que ainda fazem uso disso. Como o receptor funciona com o sistema operacional mais poderoso do que o normal, demora um pouco mais a ligar e obter uma imagem no ecr. O processo de inicializao demora cerca de dois minutos para que fique concludo. Quando faze-

mos o primeiro boot apareceu um assistente de vdeo inteligente para configurar e ajudar a encontrar as melhores configuraes de brilho e contraste, isto tambm pode ser encontrado no menu de configurao, se for novamente necessrio. A instalao do Satlite pode ser simples ou complicada depende do que pretender. A instalao simples deve ser o suficiente para a maioria das pessoas e contem todas as opes desde o uso de um nico LNB at aos comutadores DiSEqC e USALS. O modo Advanced acrescenta muitas mais opes que so fora do vulgar, o que pode ser uma grande ajuda para aqueles que tm uma complicada coleco de antenas parablicas e interruptores. Se mesmo assim isso no for o suficiente, existe ainda um menu em separado instalao do equipamento de satlite com mais opes. Ao acedermos a este menu, aparece uma mensagem de alertapor favor, no alterar qualquer valor a menos que
saiba o que est a fazer! Isto certamente um conselho que deve ser escutado. A procura de canais no to rpida. Uma varredura no ASTRA 1 leva cerca de oito minutos. Os novos canais que encontrou aps uma varredura podemos ver numa seco separada da lista de canais, realmente uma boa ideia. A lista de canais um pouco diferente do habitual, e algumas duvidas que tinha no inicio desapareceram assim que estive um pouco de tempo a tentar entender como tudo funciona e de verificar qual a melhor forma de usar. Os canais podem ser agrupados por satlite, provedor ou grupo de favoritos. A funo de favoritos mais avanada do que a maioria dos outros receptores. Dentro da lista de favoritos, podemos acrescentar grupos de canais ao receptor, isto referido como um bouquet. No devemos confundir com o uso habitual em termos de satlite para um grupo de canais de um transponder,

isto poder ser um grupo de canais sobe um nome dado pelo usurio, como por exemplo msica, desporto, etc A partir da lista de provedores na lista de canais, podemos acrescentar todos os canais de um destes e aparecerem como outro bouquet de favoritos. Assim que percebemos a forma como isto tudo funciona, realmente maravilhoso e flexvel fazer. Outra adio extra e inteligente a adio do programa em exibio ao lado do nome da lista do canal na lista. Achei que o EPG includo uma revelao inicial menor. Imediatamente temos disponveis dois modos, as primeiras informaes apresenta apenas o programa actual, as setas do teclado permitem o movimento de pgina a pgina para transmisses futuras. A funo multi EPG apresenta vrias pginas para todos os canais - filtrao por bouquet, se necessrio exibindo os programas actuais. Novamente, as setas em anel servem para navegar para o futuro na lista. Senti a falta de ter um estilo de exibio da grelha tradicional, especialmente quando se trata de planear
as gravaes em torno das limitaes de capacidade da sintonia. At que encontrei um atalho no controlo remoto que dava exactamente o que eu pretendia. Para aceder ao atalho tive que pressionar o boto, depois 2, como dizia no manual para dar acesso rdio na Internet, ao invs, apareceu um estilo de grade EPG! Perfeito, apesar de que eu pretender e tambm sentir a falta da minha rdio da Internet! No EPG podemos acrescentar eventos no timer . Para adicionar uma gravao muito simples apenas precisa de pressionar o boto verde-verde e fica pronto para gravar. Esto disponveis outras opes, se for necessrio - em vez de gravar, o receptor pode apenas fazer o zapping para o programa e no gravar. Uma adio extra que desperta a nossa era de conscincia sobre a poupana de energia a opo de ir para um dos dois modos de economia de energia, standby ou deep standby, ao terminar. Podemos aceder s gravaes a partir da lista de gravaes atravs de um boto dedicado arquivos, ou com

o media player. Este ltimo tambm reproduz arquivos mdia em vrios formatos, incluindo Xvid, DivX e MP3. Tambm podemos ver as imagens estticas. O media player parece ser um pouco difcil manusear, mas o boto Help no controlo remoto facilita caso tenhamos duvidas sobre que botes pressionar. Temos que agradecer pelo facto do IPBox lembrar-se de ter algo que realmente deveria ser dado como norma, mas realmente negligenciado por muitos PVRs - o texto EPG da descrio do programa guardado com a gravao. Quando as gravaes esto em andamento os menus por vezes ficam um pouco lentos,

e aparece um pequeno grfico com engrenagens girando no canto do ecr para sabermos que a mquina est ocupada. preciso pacincia quando aparece e temos de esperar para que isso desaparea, mas pelo menos quando isso aconteceu a minha pacincia foi a nica coisa que danifiquei porque as minhas gravaes estavam perfeitamente intactas. A qualidade de imagem do receptor excelente, at mesmo em alguns arquivos demos no meu arquivo Xvid pareciam melhor que o normal quando feito o upscaling para HD no ecr. Podemos usar discos rgidos externos e memory sticks, que a reproduo dos ficheiros mdia funciona to bem como na unidade interna. No entanto fui derrotado com a cpia dos arquivos entre os dispositivos internos e externos. Simplesmente no consegui encontrar a forma de fazer. Ser essencial acrescentar um plug-in gerenciador de arquivos ou algo semelhante.
Esta funo aparentemente em falta fez apressar-me a ligar o IPBox na minha rede de computadores atravs da porta Ethernet. Esta configurao exactamente a mesma de acrescentar um computador - se usar o DHCP, podemos detectar automaticamente um endereo e configuraes. Caso seja necessrio ajuste manual, esto todos aqui e tenho orgulho de dizer que o meu receptor comunicou com o mundo exterior primeira tentativa, algo que nem sempre podemos alegar que acontea com a minha coleco de computadores. No mencionado no manual, mas possvel usar tanto o Telnet e FTP para comunicar com o receptor. Felizmente, fiz uma rpida procura na internet para encontrar o nome de usurio e a senha original, caso contrrio, esta minha experincia teria sido em vo e rapidamente trocava por um longo jogo de adivinhas. A propsito deixo aqui essa informao util, o username:
root, senha: ipbox. Atravs do FTP, consegui transferir as gravaes para um computador. As gravaes esto no formato .ts, isto significa que podem ser manipuladas e editadas com um software MPEG, e para est disponvel vrios tipos de freeware. Teria sido agradvel ter uma funo fcil de copiar os arquivos para um dispositivo externo, mas atravs da rede significa que se precisarmos de um arquivo podemos ir buscar sem precisar de quaisquer tipo de disco, cartes de memria, fitas de vdeo ou outro tipo de mdia . Transferir atravs da rede, editar e codific-los como necessrios, e at mesmo enviar de volta para a mquina em formato Xvid para voltar a ver! Isto funciona muito bem. Se o receptor estiver ligado ao mundo exterior, possvel adicionar e actualizar o software do aparelho. A forma mais fcil atravs dos plug-ins no menu do aparelho. Podemos fazer a ligao ao servidor www. enigma.satupdate.net onde esto disponveis os plug-ins e configuraes. Fiquei um pouco desapontado por estar disponvel pouco software no momento em que fiz este relatrio, espero que no futuro estejam disponveis mais plug-ins. No entanto,
podemos adicionar mais uma jia - a interface web. Foi rpida a instalao a partir do servidor, a interface web acrescenta outro nvel de comunicao com o mundo exterior. Navegar para o endereo IP do receptor de um navegador web ficamos com uma interface combinada com o design do receptor. Aqui, podemos ver a lista de canais e o EPG e acrescentar as gravaes. Atravs de uma pequena porta de sada no seu roteador, podemos aceder a qualquer local na internet. Da prxima vez que tiver no trabalho ou de frias e se esqueceu de gravar alguma coisa, no h problema - basta aceder internet e aceder ao aparelho! Aqui os detalhes do programa fornecem um link para o Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) de cada programa. Neste campo podemos fazer download das gravaes, em formato .ts -. mais fcil que o meu mtodo FTP - a televiso em directo e gravaes podem mesmo ser transmitidas pelo media player. Consegui fazer com o material gravado, mas no tive sucesso com as transmisses em directo, foi difcil de perceber se o bug era meu ou do receptor. Como se tudo isto no
fosse o suficiente, ainda podemos usar uma janela com um controlo remoto virtual para aceder a todas as funes do receptor. Ao pressionarmos cada tecla, exibida uma imagem no ecr (sem imagem de TV). Isto significa que pode ter controlo total sobre o receptor, em qualquer parte do mundo atravs de uma ligao Internet. Tambm pensaram na segurana e se for necessrio podemos activar SSL e proteco de senha. Ficamos surpreendentes com todas estas opes e funcionalidades. Apenas precisa de olhar para as imagens das opes no menu de configurao para ter uma ideia do que temos disponvel para ajustar e alterar no IPBox de acordo com as suas prprias preferncias. bvio que o mais emocionante a natureza do cdigo aberto Linux e da promessa que traz de terceiros add-ons e software avanado. aqui que o IPBox ter sucesso ou fracassar. O manual uma grande ajuda para adicionar todas as funes normais de um receptor de satlite, e explica como actualizar e adicionar software, mas os mistrios e complexidades do sistema Linux so intocveis. O receptor ir apelar
por aqueles que querem obter o mximo dele, explorando plenamente a fora do sistema operacional. O que ser necessrio para fazer com que o receptor tenha o sucesso que merece ter, a disponibilidade de software adicional e as orientaes de como instalar e usar. O armazenamento de software que conseguimos acedemos no receptor est prximo do vazio, e neste preciso momento, parece haver pouca informao especfica na internet em sites independentes para o IPBox. Mas obviamente que estamos num comeo, a caixa acabou de entrar no mercado. Existem outros receptores que utilizam aplicaes e software Enigma2 e tm disponvel na internet algum software para isso. Provavelmente alguns destes softwares podem ser usados ou modificados para usarmos no IPBox. Na realidade, nos outros receptores que utilizam o sistema Linux, esto disponveis funcionalidades extra para adicionar em todos os sistemas operacionais modificados. Um exemplo que encontrei enquanto pesquisava responde a uma crtica sobre a transmisso Europeia por satlite e que tenho vindo a questionar h
muitos anos - a inexistncia de programao no EPG para sete dias na BBC e para outros canais no Astra 2 nos prprios receptores da Sky e Freesat, sendo necessrio adicionar esta funcionalidade. Como espectador da BBC adoraria que esta funo fosse til no IPBox. Ficaria preocupado, de surgir uma tentativa de instalarem algo parecido com isto que no seja especfico para este receptor ou de surgir uma verso do sistema operacional. Provavelmente seria necessrio um guia de demo para saber como obter o mximo de um IPBox baseado em Enigma2... talvez eu deve ir aprendendo um pouco mais, e comear a escrever sobre isso! O manual do IPBox, e o suporte no site encaminham os usurios para sites independentes e de fruns para encontrar software e suporte. Vamos esperar que estes sites apaream brevemente com novidades para quem gosta de experimentar e melhorar o seu receptor. Com tanto poder disponvel, apenas precisa de um bom nvel de suporte e disponibilidade de software para permitir que os seus utilizadores usem todo este potencial. O IPBox ser um verdadeiro desafiante para os receptores
baseados em Linux j existentes no mercado. Temos um receptor poderoso, com menus inteligentes e uma aparncia inteligente, um conjunto imbatvel de funes e uma excelente qualidade de imagem. As opes de configurao so o mais abrangente que poderia desejar. O sistema inteligente de favoritos com os trs modos de EPG (talvez o mais til esteja escondido na parte atrs do menu de atalho) faz com que esta mquina satisfaa os usurios mais avanados e os espectadores casuais. Para sabermos preciso escalar uma curva de aprendizagem um pouco mais ngreme do que a encontrada em outros receptores, mas este esforo vale bem a pena. Talvez a concluso mais reveladora seja depois de testarmos o receptor durante uma semana ou duas, nos habituamos ou no ao que podemos e no podemos fazer, gostaria de ter o meu? Posso honestamente dizer que eu adoraria ter um.
Sistema operacional Linux abre a caixa para uma infinidade de add ons. Memria de canais sofisticada. Acesso remoto atravs da Internet. O PVR grava o EPG. Trs nveis de EPG.

Seguidamente, fomos at ao menu HORIZONTAL TV para podermos ver pela primeira vez a televiso digital terrestre. Para ser honesto, a qualidade do vdeo que vimos na tela era realmente de tirar o flego. Para certificarmos se realmente recebemos um sinal utilizvel, ligamos o receptor Azbox a uma antena UHF externa, como as transmisses digitais da nossa regio so apenas para fins de teste

Uma viso pormenorizada sobre o receptor HD Premium revela outra caracterstica: Um disco rgido E-Sata pode ser conectado internamente para termos a funcionalidade PVR para as resolues SD e HD. Obviamente que fizemos uso desta opo e no detectamos qualquer falha. A capacidade mxima de gravao de duas horas. Alm disso, tambm possvel nesta caixa assistir a contedos da

O sintonizador terrestre tinha-se soltado durante o transporte e precisou de ser novamente colocado com firmeza. A partir daqui no tivemos qualquer tipo de problemas.

Receptor de IPTV
Jiuzhou DTP8300
Receptor para a televiso da Internet
Jiuz hou DTP830 0 Rec eptor IPT V receptor equipado com tecnologia de alta -cat egoria
12-01/201 1
primeira vista o DTP8300 da Jiuzhou parece ser a sua set-top box para satlite, cabo ou recepo terrestre. Mede apenas 230x160x39 mm, o que torna numa pequena pura adio para o armrio da sala. A caixa tem uma cor preta elegante e est equipada com dois LEDs no painel frontal para indicar o modo actual de funcionamento. O fabricante optou por prescindir de um LCD ou segmento display, mas optou antes pelo boto de ligar/desligar o aparelho no canto esquerdo e uma interface USB 2.0 no canto direito.
Se contornar em volta do receptor e olhar para as opes de conexo no painel traseiro torna-se perfeitamente obvio que isto um set-top box que no recebe sinais de satlite, cabo ou antena terrestre. Apenas conseguimos encontrar uma porta Ethernet RJ45 para entrada de sinal. Alm disso, tem a habituais
ligaes de sada HDMI, trs conectores RCA para YUV, mais trs conectores RCA para udio estreo e CVBS, uma sada ptica S/PDIF, ficha S-video e uma segunda interface USB. Existe ainda o benefcio adicional de um interruptor mecnico, que um recurso valioso nos dias de hoje. Ficamos impressionados

da primeira vez que vemos o controlo remoto que vem com o receptor, tem todas as teclas de fcil acesso, tem apenas o feedback necessrio, e est nitidamente identificado. Se temos de pensar em algo digno na melhoria o IR do receptor na set-top box, que exige que o usurio aponte o controlo remoto para uma rea muito pequena na caixa - caso contrrio ter que pressionar vrias vezes a tecla pretendida para que o sinal de seu comando seja recebido na outra extremidade. Vamos concentrar-nos por uns instantes sobre as peculiaridades e caractersticas do DTP8300 - mas primeiro, vale a pena olhar para as diferenas decisivas entre a recepo de TV via antena, cabo ou satlite e IPTV.
Se um receptor utilizar sinais digitais de satlite, cabo ou antena, o hardware do receptor tem de lidar com todos os aspectos do processamento de sinais. Isso envolve a recepo, converso, descodificao (se necessrio) e, finalmente, com a sada dos sinais recebidos com fluxo de dados DVB, mas tambm a gesto dos canais, processamento de dados EPG e a criao de mensagens OSD para a interaco do usurio. Em contrapartida, um receptor IPTV uma histria completamente diferente. Simplificando, uma espcie de navegador que capaz de colocar o udio e vdeo. No precisa de fazer uma procura de canais, no tem nenhum sistema (ou apenas um muito bsico) OSD e no tem necessidade de gernciar, processar, guardar e organizar os canais.

A sua tarefa principal exibir o contedo de TV que entregue como dados pr-embalados. Toda a tecnologia necessria para o recebimento e processamento de canais, para criar o OSD e gesto de contedo est localizada no provedor final do sistema IPTV. A assim chamada middleware (coloca simplesmente de novo, um tipo de servidor web) trata de criar as listas de canais com elementos de design especficos do provedor, fornecendo a prestao
de video-on-demand (VOD) e de criar a completa interface IPTV. Assim que ligamos o receptor conecta ao middleware do IPTV atravs da porta Ethernet e exibe o contedo recebido do middleware. A propsito, o middleware tambm responsvel por estabelecer uma conexo com o gateway DVB-IP para a recepo de TV. Os provedores guardam os endereos IP e portas de canais individuais no middleware dentro da rede IPTV.

Se um usurio seleccionar um canal especfico sobre a lista de canais que criada e fornecida pelo middleware, o receptor IPTV obtm o endereo IP e a porta exacta do canal seleccionado e comea a exibir o fluxo de vdeo correspondente. Agora torna-se evidente a segunda grande diferena entre a recepo via satlite e IPTV. Ao receber directamente os canais via satlite significa que todo o contedo est disponvel no fim de recepo (da o termo de transmisso), enquanto que na recepo IPTV significa apenas que o contedo (canal), que foi especificamente solicitado estar disponvel a qualquer momento. obvio que todo o contedo disponvel est localizado no provedor, espera de seja solicitado, mas mesmo assim os dados apenas comeam a fluir quando o usurio chama por um contedo especfico. Por outras palavras cada cliente servido individualmente - alm de rdio e canais de TV - video-on-demand, time shift ou PVR pode ser fornecido pelo fornecedor sem que o cliente tenha que comprar um novo hardware. Falando metaforicamente, a recepo de transmisso via satlite, cabo ou transmisso terrestre como uma onda gigante de contedo com extenso para todos os receptores ao mesmo tempo, enquanto que uma rede IPTV atinge separadamente cada assinante, fornecendo apenas o contedo especificamente solicitado, de forma personalizada. Cada cliente IPTV no apenas servido individualmente como tambm cada rede IPTV caracterizada por uma individual configurao, dependendo dos requisitos do provedor. Em teoria, um provedor IPTV pode escolher livremente os endereos IP que pretende utilizar para a sua rede, bem como o multicast usado para distribuio de TV e rdio e as portas de ligao.
Isto por sua vez significa que as set-top boxes para os usurios finais precisam de ser to flexveis para ajustar-se s redes existentes de IPTV. Para este fim - e para este efeito apenas - o DTP8300 est equipado com um menu de configurao especfico que pode activado por um pequeno boto no controlo remoto. Por norma, no vem protegido por senha e sugerimos que os utilizadores finais, em geral, mantenham os dedos fora de todas estas definies. O menu est dividido em seis itens, com Configurao Bsica e a Configurao Extensvel sendo de maior interesse. Na Configurao Bsica vai precisar de informar a caixa da forma como dever conectar-se na rede do provedor IPTV. O receptor pode solicitar um endereo IP do servidor DHCP ou poder atribuir um endereo IP esttico para a sua caixa. Se assinar um provedor de IPTV que utiliza DSL para distribuir o seu contedo tambm poder configurar uma conexo rede IPTV via PPPoE. Assim que os parmetros de rede adicionais, tais como gateway e servidor DNS, estiverem definidos ou recebidos a partir do servidor DHCP, o receptor de IPTV tambm precisa de saber o endereo exacto do middleware. Para fins de nosso teste, optamos por utilizar o middleware padro fornecido pela Jiuzhou, que tinha instalado no nosso centro de testes num PC normal com Windows usando o Microsoft IIS.

Complementando as opes de configurao do menu temos uma viso geral do sistema, um recurso de auto-teste e uma opo para restaurar as configuraes de fbrica. Se usar um navegador web ou um stick de memria USB tambm possvel actualizar o sistema operacional do receptor - um item de menu dedicado est disponvel para facilitar o processo. Assim que todas as configuraes estiverem seleccionadas a caixa precisa de reiniciar para que faa ligao com o middleware atravs da rede e exibe o menu principal gerado pelo middleware do provedor. Ao usar o seu prprio middleware a Jiuzhou impressionante demonstra algumas das caractersticas que um provedor de IPTV capaz de implementar com o seu prprio middleware e em combinao com o DTP8300. Como poder ver nas imagens o menu principal est dividido em quatro grandes reas: A barra superior corresponde s teclas de funo com cdigo de cores no controlo remoto, isto perfeitamente adequado para o acesso visualizao de televiso em directo, vdeo-on-demand ou Timeshift. A rea da esquerda possui caractersticas que so usadas com menos frequncia, como jogos ou contedo VOD adicionais.
configurar directamente no caixa. Assim que completamos todos os ajustes o receptor IPTV memoriza todos os dados e reinicia a fim de poder estabelecer uma conexo directa com a middleware. Usurios mdios devem dar por concludo, mas ns obviamente no poderamos ficar por aqui sem vermos a Configurao Extensvel, para podermos a ajustar para a nossa configurao teste.
Assistindo um canal de IPTV - a barra de informao na parte inferior do ecr tambm exibe informao EPG fornecida pelo middleware
Actualmente o nico idioma disponvel para o menu o Ingls e o Chins, mas isto se refere apenas ao menu principal e a um par de informaes OSD do receptor. De qualquer forma numa utilizao diria a middleware do provedor IPTV gera todos os itens do OSD e podem ser projectados de acordo com as especificaes do fornecedor. Nas Configuraes de Video os usurios podem seleccionar o formato da sada de sinal para a TV, com 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p e 1080i disponvel em 4:3 e 16:09, bem como o sistema NTSC, PAL e SECAM. Finalmente, o menu de Configurao Extensvel pode ser usado para alterar o cdigo PIN que restringe o acesso ao menu de configuraes e activa um log de protocolo que enviado para um servidor FTP. Sendo assim os provedores podem permanentemente verificar as mensagens de erro que foram criadas pelo receptor IPTV ou qualquer problema que tenha ocorrido. Ao estarem disponveis estes dados para o provedor possvel oferecer um servio ao cliente sob medida, se necessrio.

Ficamos bastante impressionados com a velocidade de zapping desta pequena caixa, que demorou pouco menos de um segundo para mudar entre os diferentes fluxos dos canais de TV requeridos. Sempre que um novo canal chamado o EPG do DTP8300 exibe informaes do evento seleccionado, se esse recurso for fornecido pelo middleware. A forma como certas teclas adicionais no controlo remoto so utilizadas e quais as funcionalidades de acesso, depende novamente em grande parte do middleware do provedor. Se a visualizao de Timeshift estiver disponvel, ento poder controlar, assim como com qualquer outro receptor e no h necessidade de se acostumar a um novo conceito. O IPTV compatvel tem funes adicionais, tais como notcias, clima ou ofertas actuais para assinantes, que pode ser atribudo as teclas de funo diferente do controlo remoto. Existe ainda a opo de mudar a entrada de nmero para entrada de caracteres e assim usar o teclado numrico para mensagens de texto da mesma forma como faria com o seu telefone celular. Relativamente compatibilidade tcnica em causa, o DTP8300 da Jiuzhou suporta MPEG-4/H264 bem como o Windows Media 9 vdeo. A browser integrado funciona
com HTML 4.0, Javascript 1.5 e Java Virtual Machine. Os dados enviados pelo middleware so exibidos numa Interface de 32bit True Color User. O descodificador de udio capaz de processar WMA-9, MPEG Layer 1, 2 e 3 (MP3), AAC LC, AAC LC+ SBR nvel 2, bem como AAC+ nvel 2. Suporta as sampling rates de 22500, 44100 e 48000Hz e o receptor tem uma memria flash integrada de 128 MB, 192 MB de SDRAM e uma EEPROM de 8K. Resumindo numa palavra, ficamos impressionados durante nosso teste com o DTP8300 da Jiuzhou. O mercado IPTV no est geralmente habituado a ser o usurio final a escolher uma set-top box, que por isso que o DTP8300 ser principalmente escolhido pelos prestadores de IPTV. Acabam por ter uma caixa que capaz de implementar todas as funcionalidades do middleware e, por isso, uma ferramenta perfeita para a oferta de programao aos assinantes. At mesmo os usurios finais que pretendem ficar independentes do hardware fornecido pelo fornecedor vo gostar do DTP8300 da Jiuzhou, pois oferece todas as funes necessrias, fcil de usar e no ocupa pouco espao no armrio da sala.

HDTV Receiver with HD+ Standard
Jaeger HD+ 2011
The German Receiver with a Plus
Jaeger HD+ 2011 Exc ellent Family Frie ndly HDT V Rec eiver Optimized for the HD+ Transmission Standard in Ger many
12-01/201 1
To regular readers of TELE-satellite the company Doebis from Mndersbach in Germany might ring a bell. It is a wholesale dealer offering an extensive product range combined with excellent customer service, and it is a business that readily endorses cutting-edge technology for the benet its customers. Now Doebis has taken another leap and is launching its own line of receivers, with the rst offspring jumping right in the middle of a market niche that has recently appeared in the German market. There, commercial networks have teamed up to use the new HD+ standard which allows reception of the HD versions of these commercial stations next to all other free-to-air DVB-S and DVB-S2 channels. Doebis distributes the new set-top box under the trade name Jaeger.
Channels using the HD+ standard are currently only of interest to a Germanspeaking audience, as HD+ smartcards to unlock these channels are only available in Germany at this stage. The Jaeger HD+ 2010 therefore exclusively has the German market in mind for time being. HD+ channels are broadcast via ASTRA 19.2 East. We will deal with every nook and cranny of the new receiver in a moment, but let us rst nd out what this talk about HD+ really is all about: In a global perspective, Germany had long been a dark spot on the HDTV map. While most of Asia, North America, Australia and also a number
of European countries had introduced high-denition television some time ago, Germany seemed to be perfectly content with its SDTV offering for a very long time. Apart from pay TV provider Sky and an unsuccessful attempt at HDTV by some commercial channels not much happened with regard to HD content. Is there a particular reason for this development, or should we rather say: lack of development? For decades, German viewers have been blessed with a large number of free-to-air commercial channels, which offered all sorts of content next to the large public broadcasting networks, which can also be
received free-to-air. Viewers have come to expect and demand high-quality programming, including all the latest blockbuster movies, TV dramas and sitcoms, plus elaborate homemade content free of charge. Or almost free of charge, if you consider the licence fee that every Germany household with a TV set has to pay. Various and sometimes lengthy advertising breaks on commercial stations are the trade-in, which Germans had and have to accept in return for channel and content variety. For all the reasons stated above pay TV was off to a very bad start in Germany and is still struggling to become
nancially viable. Just think about it: Would you be willing to pay for subscription TV if the sheer number of channels coming in at no cost satises almost all of your viewing requirements? Up until the invention of the PVR (personal video recorder), both broadcasters and viewers seemed content with this arrangement, and commercial stations were able to provide decent programming thanks to a steady ow of advertising revenue. All this began to slowly erode due to time-shift viewing and hard-disk recording, with the added benet of skipping commercial breaks. What

pushed the viewing pleasure of millions to new heights was becoming a major concern for commercial broadcasters at least if one follows their line of reasoning. After all, not many would watch ads if these can be skipped with the touch of a button, would they? A few months ago the major public broadcasting networks in Germany nally launched HDTV versions of their main channels and therefore placed the ball in their commercial competitors court to lift their game as well. With their reliance on advertising money, however, commercial providers used a completely different approach which was supposed to restrict ad skipping right from the start. Satellite operator SES readily jumped on board and developed a dedicated transmission concept with the name HD+ platform. The rst step in the new HD+ standard was to offer the new HD channels with encryption only, which is the only way of controlling who can watch what. SES ASTRA selected Nagravision 3 as the encryption system of choice. The next step that followed went even further: HD+ allows content providers to not only dene which encrypted events can be watched and recorded, but also how, when and for how long such content is available. The new HD+ standard provides broadcasters with the option of restricting time-shift viewing for certain content, or to block this feature at large. This means that viewers are still able to record content and watch it at a later stage, but it is not possible to fast forward through commercial breaks. Broadcasters are also in a position to add a use by date to content, so to speak. Such recorded content cannot be played back once that date has passed. To make sure all of these
wishes by broadcasters are actually fullled, PVRs that are compatible with HD+ always record content with encryption in place. This way it is not possible to simply copy les from the internal or external HDD and watch them on a PC or save them onto a DVD, for example. If you do want to receive the HD variants of Germanys major commercial networks you therefore need a receiver that is compatible with HD+ and which features either a built-in smartcard reader or a CI with HD+ functionality plus a valid HD+ smartcard, of course. All receivers and CI modules available so far have not been compatible with the HD+ standard or at least required a software update from the manufacturer to add that feature with all its integrated control mechanisms. Only if all HD+ specications and restrictions are met is it possible to watch HD+ content. We received the Jaeger H+ 2011 receiver complete with an activated HD+ smartcard so that we could easily receive the HD channels of Germanys largest commercial channels. To be precise, we were able to mostly receive upscaled versions of their standard denition offerings, which is what they currently provide. The six networks Sat.1, ProSieben, Vox, Kabel2, RTL and Sport1 can be received in high denition free of charge for one year. After the rst year access can be renewed for another year by paying a fee which currently amounts to EUR 50. But lets come back to our receiver test report now. The black housing of the Jaeger HD+ 2011 is very stylish in appearance and will smoothly blend into most living room settings. The front panel sports a multi-digit segment display, with three buttons to the left for controlling the receivers main functions

Channel list entries 0 to 99 can be freely arranged
without a remote control. To the right of the central display a HD+ smartcard can be inserted into the built-in card reader. There are no additional CI slots available. The back panel of the receiver is very well equipped with all connection options youre ever likely to require. It sports the standard satellite IF input with loopedthrough output, HDMI, optical audio out as well as a USB 2.0 interface. The remote control that comes with the box deserves special praise, as it sits conveniently in your hand and comes with easy to nd buttons. The operating manual is of a similarly high standard, is very comprehensive and comes with helpful illustrations. We are condent the manual will answer all the questions you may have with regard to operating the Jaeger HD+ 2011. We hugely appreciated the fact that a whole chapter of the manual is dedicated to mounting and installing the antenna. This way new users do not only learn how their new receiver works, but also receive some valuable tips and hints for perfectly setting up their antenna. When the receiver is turned on for the rst time it immediately switches to update mode and checks the following: (a) Do signals from ASTRA 19.2 East come in through the satellite IF input socket? (b) Is a software update available? (c) Is the pre-stored channel list still up-to-date for German viewers? In case new software or an updated channel list are available these are downloaded over the air automatically to bring the receiver up to date. This way, viewers in Germany can rest assured their receiver will always keep up with any changes or improvements and that all pre-stored
channels can actually shown on screen.

Channel list editing
We should elaborate a little on this new receivers channel list: Contrary to what we are used to from regular receivers, the HD+ platform of provider SES ASTRA brings viewers the added benet of looking for new channels every time the receiver is turned on. To this end, HD+ has come up with its own channel list setup that looks like this: TV channels 100 to 2,000 and radio channels 100 to 500 are reserved for the automatic ASTRA 19.2 East HD+ channel list for Germany, while channels 1 through 99 can be set according to customer preferences. By default, Doebis ships the Jaeger HD+ 2011 with pre-set channels from 1 to 57 which include all German free-to-air channels as well as obviously all HDTV channels currently available from ASTRA at 19.2 East (see chart). The channel list begins with ARD HD and ZDF HD (the two major nationwide public broadcasting channels in Germany), followed by the six HD+ channels and the remaining German channels. In addition, international channels such as Sky News, CNN and CNBC are also found on the default channel list. If required, the list can be rearranged and edited according to personal preferences, and since channels 1 through 99 are the customers domain they will never be overwritten if an automatic channel update takes place. Its a different story for the pre-set channels beginning with 100. They are arranged in the following fashion and cannot be moved, deleted or otherwise rearranged, as they are part of the HD+ channel list: 100-130: ARD (public broadcaster) and regional public channels.

ORF (OE1, all regional versions of OE2, OE3, FM4) Every time a new German language channel is launched on ASTRA 19.2 East it will be added to the HD+ channel list by provider SES Astra and will be available with the following automatic channel list update. The Jaeger HD+ 2011 will display it accordingly, and since the list is segmented according to provider categories it will t in perfectly. If so desired by a user, any channel in the pre-set list can be copied into the user list from 1 to 99. Talk about a smart solution! Incidentally, the channel list features more than meets the eye at rst sight. Many channels are not specically included in the list, but are still available if you know how to nd them. If you use the search mode to nd all channels starting with Kabel 1, for example, the results will also show Kabel 1 Austria on channel 414, which can then be selected and watched. The same is true for Sat.1 Austria, RTL Austria, and so on. If you think this is somewhat unusual then the answer lies in the HD+ concept: As soon as HD+ will also be offered on the Austrian market the receivers sold there will be pre-programmed to show the Austrian versions of those channels, rather than the Germany versions. The Jaeger HD+ 2011 offers a dedicated menu for channel management, which shows all available entries from 1 to 99 in the right screen section and the complete channel list on the left section. Thanks to this convenient layout channels can easily be added from the overall list to the customised list. In addition, a total of ten favourites lists can be lled to your hearts content and add much to the overall enjoyment this receiver provides. All channel entries above 2,000 (TV) and 500 (radio) 43

can also be customised and are not restricted by the HD+ standard. The box is able to perform all the search functions we expect from a DVB-S/ S2 receiver. It comes with a factory-installed list of all transponders of the 28 most frequently received European satellites. It goes without saying that this list can be edited manually and that new transponders can be added as required. We did, on the other had, somewhat regret that the Jaeger HD+ 2011 only offers tone burst and DiSEqC 1.0 for up to four satellites, and DiSEqC 1.2 for motorised antennas. Unfortunately, the hugely convenient USALS protocol and DiSEqC 1.1 for up to 16 satellites are not available. On a positive note, we appreciated the fact that the LOF can be determined individually for each satellite entry based on a number of pre-set options or with manual setting. This makes the Jaeger box perfectly suitable for C band reception as well. Thanks to manual transponder search it is possible to look for signals on a specied frequency only and to edit the pre-set transponder list. Any new frequencies can be added without much ado and a touch of a button is all it takes to delete any discontinued transponder entries.

In our test the Jaeger HD+ 2011 took more than 25 minutes for a full scan across all HOTBIRD 13 East bands, which is not exactly an Olympic achievement. Then again, most users will only ever use the HD+ channel list which is kept up-to-date and very accurate anyway. Like all other receivers we test the Jaeger box, too, had to prove its worth with regard to very week signals. We used BADR at 26 East for that benchmark test and found that the integrated DVB-S/ S2 tuner did a remarkably good job. The same was true for signals with a very low symbol rate (like the ones from TURKSAT 42 East at our location), which were processed awlessly as well. It only took a moment before the 11,742 V frequency was locked in with a symbol rate of only 2,965 ks/s. All entries of the individual channel list (2,000 and above for TV, 500 and above for radio) can be deleted, moved or marked for skipping as required. Entries on the HD+ list, on the other hand, can only be marked for skipping without any other editing options. Optional PIN protection is available for all channels if you feel some channels are not appropriate for children or minors living in your household. Altogether the channel list consists of 5,000 entries, and even if we reduce that number by the channels that are pre-dened through HD+ that will still leave you with 2,700 entries to ll. In Systems Settings which is the third major menu item next to Channel Search and Channel List Editing users can customise their newly acquired box according to personal preferences. Even though the new Jaeger HD+ 2011 is specically targeted to the German market the OSD languages to choose from are German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Polish and

If you prefer an automatic search as most will do the Jaeger HD+ 2011 can be set for network search mode or restricted to free-to-air channels only. This is particularly useful as all encrypted channels will nd their way into the automatic HD+ channel list anyway and there are no other decryption options (such as an additional CI slot) available anyway. If so desired, an automatic search can be dened to cover TV, radio, or both.

Dutch. At the same you may also dene your preferred audio track languages in case a channel broadcasts more than one. When you want to tell the receiver which time zone you are in you need not know your local difference to GMT but rather select your zone from a list of well-known European cities. Continuing with audio/video settings, the receiver can be told which signal resolution your TV panel prefers so that you always get the best quality on screen. We should emphasise the fact that the Jaeger HD+ 2011 already supports 1080p, which means it is t for the future of satellite television even today. Obviously 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i as well 480p and 480i can chosen as well. The receiver automatically detects the colour standard of a received channel and adjusts the output signal accordingly. No matter whether you have a 4:3 or 16:9 TV set, the box will deal it with it, and you may dene the way 16:9 broadcasts are displayed on a 4:3 set. Thanks to the integrated scart euroconnector RGB and CVBS are available for analog signal output and a separate menu item lets you add or edit up to 50 timer entries. Once all basic parameters are set pressing the Exit button will bring you to the rst receivable channel on the list. Every time a new channel is selected the Jaeger HD+ 2011 inserts an info bar on the bottom of the screen which includes date, time and information on the current and next event, if this information is provided. There are icons indicating encryption and the availability of subtitles, audio tracks as well as teletext. Press the OK button and the clearly arranged channel list will pop up, with ten channel entries per page. Using the green and yellow function keys you may select individual satellite entries, while the Text button opens up a search mask which you can use nd that particular channel youre looking for. The Favourite button accesses up to ten favourites lists which you can arrange in any fashion you like. The Jaeger HD+ 2011 zapping speed is approximately one second for free-to-air SDTV channels. Switching to HDTV or encrypted channels takes slightly longer. We were truly impressed with the video performance of this receiver,

even though most material on HD+ channels currently is upscaled SD content. Every time native HD is broadcasts your eyes are virtually glued to the screen watching TV has never been more brilliant! If youre interested in nding out more about the event youre watching or even want to check whats on TV later at night or the next day the EPG button will become your best friend. Press it once for extended information about the currently showing event and press it again to see a preview of the selected channel for up to seven days. If you press the EPG button yet again a preview schedule of ve channels at a time appears on screen. In next to no time can you then nd out what your favourite channels will show in primetime, or when the next episode of that crime drama is on. No matter which EPG mode youre in, if you come across an event thats not to miss you can easily create a timer entry by simply pressing the blue button. This is a particularly smart feature considering that an external HDD can be hooked up to the Jaeger HD+ 2011 thanks to the USB 2.0 interface. If you make use of that option youre not only able to record content, but also use the timeshift viewing feature at least for free-to-air channels. So next
time your mother-in-law calls simply press Pause and pick up the phone that way youll both be happy and you can continue watching whenever you feel like. As mentioned before, this feature is not available for channels on the HD+ platform. By and large, all PVR features of the new Jaeger receiver are cleverly implemented and easy to use. The box boasts a single tuner only, which is why it is not possible to watch a channel from a different transponder while a recording takes place. If the recording is made from an encrypted HD+ channel it is not possible to watch a different channel at all, just as is it not possible to make two recordings at the same time. A previously stored event, however, can be played back at any time during recording. The Movie button on the remote control or the corresponding menu item in the on-screen display brings you to the content of the external HDD. Here again, the display sports a clever layout, is more or less self-explanatory and also provides details such as recording date, length and originating channel for each recording. There is even an integrated picture viewer for presenting photos of your journey around the world or any other event in your life. You and your guests
may make use of the formatting feature which can be accessed through a dedicated menu item. You may also have the receiver manually check for new software or channel lists, even though this is done every time you power up the box anyway. The current channel list can be saved onto any external USB storage medium for back-up purposes and to provide a safety net in case you inadvertently delete a channel or make a mess out of your list. If video games is what youre after then prepare yourself for a minor disappointment there are none. You may, however, use the built-in teletext decoder to read the news during commercial breaks, for example, which is much more worthwhile anyway. The teletext display only covers about half the screen so you can always keep an eye on the current channel in order not to miss a thing. Finally, there was another nice surprise waiting for us: Power consumption of the Jaeger HD+ 2011 in standby is extremely low. The manufacturer species 1 W, and our own measurement yielded an even lower 0.8 W! We like
that because in whats good for the environment is just as good for your wallet. In conclusion we can say that the Jaeger HD+ 2011 fullled all our expectations. Were talking about a HDTV satellite receiver the whole family will like, that will t into any lounge room surroundings, and that offers all the features an average family will ever want. With its 1080p HDMI output it is well ahead of many competitors and ready for the future of high-denition satellite television. The box is characterised by smart user-interaction and will be understood by the technically challenged as well. HD+ compatibility allows reception of the HDTV variants of Germanys major commercial networks and the built-in PVR functions work awlessly. It has to be said, however, that users might require some time before they will get used to all HD+ restrictions. In our test, for example, we were not able to skip commercial breaks on HD+ channels but then again, that is precisely why HD+ was developed in the rst place. Nonetheless, the overall impression of the Jaeger HD+2011 is unreservedly positive.

TENOW TBS 6981 DVB -S/S2 PLACA de PC com PVR e todas as funcionalida des que realmente precisa. Ideal tambm para feedhunters.
As placas DVB-S/S2 esto cada vez mais a ganhar popularidade, mas ao mesmo as pessoas tambm adoram a funo PVR de muitos receptores de satlites convencionais. Afinal, no h nada como superar a possibilidade de gravar um evento e ao mesmo tempo assistir a outro. Existe uma forma de alcanar este benefcio com uma placa de PC? Se tiver um receptor PVR e se poder gravar um canal e assistir a um diferente ao mesmo tempo, para isso vai
precisar de uma caixa com dois sintonizadores e duas entradas IF. Mas se estivermos a falar de placas para PC, isto muito raro e por isso que a Tenow preenche com orgulho esta lacuna com a sua nova placa TBS 6981.
Tenow PCI-E compatvel com DVB-S e DVB-S2 e por isso possui duas entradas de satlite DVB-S/ S2 para SDTV e tambm para HDTV.

Juntamente como a placa de PC TBS 6981 (adequado para slots PCI-E verso 1.0a e 1.1), recebemos um receptor infravermelho, um controlo remoto, um CD com o software e um cabo para alimentar a placa e receber a corrente IDE da fonte de alimentao do PC. Na maioria dos casos a corrente fornecida pelo slot PCI-E o suficiente, mas se tiver um motor DiSEqC conectado ou outras placas que consumem energia,
este conector de alimentao auxiliar vai ser muito acessvel. A instalao da placa carto no requer um grau de engenharia e porque o seu tamanho compacto, possvel encaixar em dispositivos com espao restrito. Assim que ligar as duas entradas dos sintonizadores aos cabos com entrada de sinal, apenas precisa de ligar o receptor IR na ficha ao lado da entrada IF e est pronto. O controlo remoto que vem com a placa adapta-se perfeitamente na mo e permite controlar o TBS 6981 sem ter de se levantar do sof da sua sala de estar. O manual est disponvel no mini CD em formato PDF. Tenow aconselha as seguintes especificaes para recepo DVB-S: Intel Pentium III 1 GHz com 256 MB de RAM e uma placa grfica com 16MB de RAM. Se pretende receber sinais DVB-S2 precisa de ter a certeza que tem pelo menos um processador Intel Pentium IV 3 GHz com 1GB de RAM e uma placa grfica com um mnimo de 64 MB de RAM. A placa Tenow compatvel com sistema Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 e at mesmo em sistemas operacionais Linux neste ultimo caso informamos que tambm aceita o ltimo kernel da Linux. Agora que temos a placa instalada no nosso PC para testarmos e temos todos os cabos necessrios ligados, vamos proceder instalao do driver. Ao colocar o CD o assistente autostart d instrues para aparecer uma janela com todas as opes disponveis. Com um simples clique no rato comea a instalao do driver e momentos depois o Windows exibe uma mensagem informando que foi detectado um novo hardware e est pronto para uso. E para todos os entusiastas do sistema Linux deste planeta: A Tenow tambm fornece drivers para Linux e fizeram com que a placa seja totalmente compatvel com o ltimo kernel Linux. O software da Tenow fornece a sua prpria apresentao de aplicao TBSViewer, mas tambm oferece no CD como alternativa o software DVB Dream. Nesta fase no devemos deixar de mencionar que a placa funcionou sem problemas com a mais conhecida aplicao ProgDVB, bem como o fabricante fornece todos os arquivos de configurao necessrios no CD includo. O Windows Media Center (includo no Windows 7, por exemplo) tambm suportado. basicamente o usurio que escolhe o software que pretende usar com a placa Tenow, isto um dos principais benefcios de solues para placas de PC em substituio das set-top boxes, o que - na maioria dos casos - apenas pode usar o nico firmware fornecido pelo fabricante. No entanto, decidimos manter o software fornecido pela Tenow para testar esta placa. No nosso caso o
TBSViewer veio com uma lista de canais pr-armazenados do ASTRA 19.2 Este, Hotbird 13 Este, ASTRA3 23.5 Este e ASTRA2 28.2 Este, o que significava que estvamos prontos para a festa. O OSD (On Screen Display/ Menus no ecr) pode ser exibido nos seguintes idiomas: Ingls, Alemo, Francs, Checo, Hngaro, Italiano, Polaco, Portugus, Russo, Finlands e Ucraniano. Tem uma lista completa com 176 posies de satlites Europeus, Asiticos e Americano e os respectivos transponders, embora esta informao no esteja completamente actualizada. Todos os parmetros LOF podem ser ajustados manualmente, para que a placa PC consiga funcionar com todos os LNBs disponveis. Se o seu sistema de recepo inclui um comutador DiSEqC 1.0 para recepo de at quatro satlites vai ficar feliz ao descobrir que a placa Tenow tambm funciona com esta configurao. Surpreendentemente, a placa Tenow TBS 6981 tambm funciona sem problemas com a soluo de uma nico cabo SCR, que suportado. O sinal de 22 kHz para alternar entre a banda de frequncia superior e inferior e uma tenso de alimentao para o LNB (13V para sinais circulares vertical/esquerda e 18 V para sinais circulares horizontal/direita) e funciona como esperava correspondendo s exigncias. Tenow oferece trs modos de pesquisa: a pesquisa automtica procura por todos os transponders na lista pr-armazenada, a pesquisa manual pode ser usada para procurar apenas um nico transponder para ser bloqueado. Ficamos impressionados com a velocidade de pesquisa do SC 6981, demorou apenas trs minutos e meio para fazer a varredura 1.734 canais de TV e rdio no Hotbird 13 Este. Cada pesquisa pode ser restrita a canais livres, isto particularmente til porque a placa PC no vem com uma slot CI para recepo de TV por assinatura. Neste momento dever estar a pensar qual ser o terceiro modo de pesquisa, porque j falamos sobre a pesquisa automtica e manual. um tipo de modalidade blind scan que exige o inicio e o fim de um determinado parmetro de frequncias para pesquisar num determinado intervalo bem como todos os symbol rate que pretendemos ter. No nosso teste usamos esse recurso para completar a gama de frequncias dos satlites Hotbird 13 Este, com intervalos de 5 MHz e para um symbol rate 27,5 e 22 Ms/s. Descobriu-se que este modo de pesquisa realmente detectou todos os transponders activos na faixa de frequncia pr-definida, mas tambm parecia ser um processo interminvel e quando j passava cerca de uma hora ainda est-

vamos apenas a meio da nossa faixa de frequncia de modo que decidimos cancelar a pesquisa. Nesta altura tnhamos 2.000 canais de TV e rdio que tinham sido detectados e armazenados na memria. Recomendamos usar apenas este recurso para verificar pequenos intervalos de frequncias (para procurar feeds, por exemplo), porque uma ptima forma de manter a sua lista de canais completamente actualizada.

EUTELSAT W3A a 7 Este, conseguimos detectar todos os feeds activos durante cerca de um minuto. Tambm devemos elogiar especialmente a funcionalidade de actualizao do software que mantm a lista de canais actualizada e adiciona novos canais encontrados sem os baralhar da lista existente. At pode at criar uma seco dedicada que guarda todos os novos canais de acordo com a data em que foram detectados. Isto uma grande ajuda quando estamos a ver um canal que foi adicionado recentemente sua lista geral. Assim que temos a lista de canais cheia at transbordar com todas as ofertas vindas do cu, podemos sair do menu de configuraes com um simples clique no rato para irmos at ao TBSViewer que apresenta o primeiro canal disponvel. O software pode ser activado automaticamente movendo o cursor para o canto superior direito da janela. Uma janela apresenta a lista de todos os canais de
acordo com os satlites e prestadores de servios, de modo que seus canais pretendidos podem ser encontrados num instante. Como alternativa, pode sempre usar o campo de procura para procurar a sua estao favorita. Podemos abrir a lista de favoritos clicando num boto pequeno ao lado da janela de procura e assim podemos guardar todos os canais que gostamos de ver regularmente. Ficamos gratos pelo facto da Tenow implementar a seleco de udio. Assim que seleccionamos um canal da lista apresentado por debaixo todas as faixas de udio disponveis do canal escolhido. No precisa de ir para um menu dedicado para alternar entre as faixas de udio, porque tem toda esta informao mesmo frente de seus olhos. Parece que os desenvolvedores de software da Tenow pensaram numa plataforma fcil de usar implementando este recurso e se quiser assistir a um filme no seu idioma original, esporadicamente vai ficar grato por ter este recurso. A edio e classificao de canais tambm pode ser feita directamente na janela de seleco, isto que significa todas as opes vo estar disponveis quando e onde precisar. Tambm pode filtrar canais de acordo com determinadas caractersticas (udio AC3, por exemplo) ou de acordo com o provedor de satlite, ou categoria. Se ainda quiser acrescentar mais clareza sua lista de canais pode ocultar todos os canais codificados com um simples clique do rato. Sempre que mudar para um novo canal o software insere automaticamente uma barra OSD inteligentemente com informaes sobre o evento actual e o prximo evento, caso seja fornecido pelo canal. O tempo de comutao rpido, considerando que estamos aqui a falar de uma soluo de placa para PC. Demora pouco mais de um segundo para que esteja disponvel no ecr um novo canal com vdeo e udio sincronizado. O EPG alargado mais uma caracterstica que merece aqui comentar. As entradas no Timer podem ser seleccionadas directamente no modo EPG, os usurios tm sua disposio um guia de TV electrnico onde os eventos podem ser seleccionados para gravar sem ter qualquer tipo de desvio. O que diferencia o TBS 6981 da maior parte das placas para PC concorrentes o facto de ter um segundo sintonizador, e porque est ciente de todos os seus benefcios no vai querer perder estes benefcios. Permite a gravao de um canal ao mesmo tempo que assiste a outro canal em directo. Tambm possvel realizar uma pesquisa no sintonizador 2 enquanto assiste a um programa em directo no outro sintonizador. Com a integrao do recurso picture-in-picture fcil ver um segundo canal
atravs de uma janela mais pequena, por exemplo durante um intervalo comercial do seu canal principal. No h risco de voltar a perder um segundo do seu programa favorito deixando de usar os seus polegares enquanto espera que termine finalmente o intervalo. Tambm est disponvel o teletexto e funciona impecavelmente e com todas as caractersticas que esperaria ter. Mesmo assim, todos estes ptimos e teis recursos seriam inteis sem a capacidade dos sintonizadores que esto no corao de qualquer receptor ou placa de PC. Porm no precisa se preocupar com o TBS 6981, porque estes sintonizadores felizmente receberam qualquer tipo de sinal DVB-S e DVB-S2 que enviamos. Os sinais fracos perto do limiar dos sintonizadores - como os de BADR a 26 Este no nosso local - no teve problemas e o software no teve qualquer tipo de bloqueio, at mesmo quando o integrado corrector de erros Viterbi teve que funcionar durante algumas horas extras por um perodo prolongado de tempo . O teste SCPC passou com cores espectaculares assim como os sintonizadores conseguiram bloquear com perfeio e processar os sinais que testamos no nosso transponder TURKSAT 42 Este com uma taxa de smbolo de apenas 2.2 Ms/s. No nosso centro de ensaios usamos intencionalmente para este relatrio um desactualizado processador Pentium IV. Afinal nem todos os nossos leitores estaro equipados com o ltimo computador da ltima gerao. Apesar de sabermos que a nossa mquina estava numa extremidade inferior s especificaes do fabricante fomos capazes de ver HDTV num sinal DVB-S2 e ao mesmo tempo realizar outras tarefas de escritrio no PC. Obviamente, que tanto o processador como a placa de vdeo tinham que dar o seu melhor, mas mesmo assim ainda tinham uma capacidade extra para funcionar razoavelmente com a mquina. O sinal de vdeo esteve sempre presente e livre de interferncias, quer seja em HD ou SD. Se preferir usar o controlo remoto, que vem no pacote, para controlar o software em vez de usar o teclado e o rato, vai ficar contente por saber que ele funciona perfeitamente com a placa de PC. Alm disso, se tivermos ligado um televisor de ecr plano de 40 polegadas no PC via DVI o modo de apresentao do TBSViewer excelente e a qualidade de vdeo comparada s convencionais set-top boxes. Se for necessrio, o TBSViewer apresenta uma gama complexa de opes de configurao detalhadas. Como por exemplo, podem ser seleccionados codecs diferentes para a reproduo de vdeo, dependendo do formato do arquivo. Isto faz com que o TBSViewer
seja capaz de trabalhar com vrios formatos de vdeo como MPEG-2, H.264, DivX e XviD, entre outros. ainda possvel processar feeds que so transmitidos no formato MPEG 4:2:2 aps ter baixado o codec Elecard que est disponvel gratuitamente no site www.elecard.com. Este recurso provavelmente coloca a placa Tenow no topo de qualquer lista de DXers e feedhunters. Nas seces de configurao pode obviamente personalizar todas as funes bsicas da placa de acordo com o seu uso pessoal, como por exemplo definir o tempo de avano e atraso nas gravaes do temporizador, dividir as gravaes em arquivos com tamanho idntico, e definir um dos dois sintonizadores como sintonizador padro. Ao utilizar o TBSViewer vai descobrir que capaz de processar uma vasta gama de diferentes formatos, incluindo MPEG, DIVX, Vdeo CD, AFS, WMV, WMA, OGG e OGM. Isto permite que consiga assistir a quase praticamente todo o contedo de vdeo, e no apenas fluxos de transporte por satlite. Uma barra de tempo est localizada na parte inferior do ecr do vdeo que permite saltar para qualquer sequncia durante a reproduo de um evento gravado, ou indica o progresso de um evento em directo. Todas as gravaes por satlite so guardadas em formato universal e geralmente utiliza um transporte de fluxo para que por exemplo seja facilmente editado e gravado em DVD. Para alm da apresentao do software do fabricante a Tenow tambm fornece o software DVB Dream no CD, que similar ao TBSViewer em funcionalidades. Alm disso, o CD vem com arquivos de configurao para a aplicao ProgDVB, isto faz com que a placa de PC TBS 6981 seja uma combinao perfeita para este software. Ficamos impressionados de ver que a
nova placa TBS funciona com o Windows Media Center, bem como por exemplo um conjunto de software que vem com o Windows 7. Se o usurio preferir usar este software bem concebido e totalmente integrado livre de usar, uma vez que no nosso teste comprovou que esta combinao absolutamente livre de preocupaes. assim que um plug&play supostamente dever funcionar! No final, cabe ao usurio escolher o seu software preferido. O ponto principal que o fabricante apresenta-nos vrias opes que so sempre bem-vindas. Temos mais uma vantagem da placa TBS 6981 com sintonizador duplo, que no deve passar despercebida: Um sintonizador poder ser definido separadamente para a Internet-via-satlite, enquanto o segundo sintonizador fica para a TV e rdio por satlite. Os leitores que utilizam a Internet via satlite esto cientes da luta constante em decidir entre Internet e TV, e, mas finalmente o TBS 6981 torna este sonho numa realidade. O fabricante fornece o software especfico para acesso Internet que funciona como um adaptador de rede virtual no Windows e permite aceder rede mundial de computadores via satlite dado que pode inserir todos os parmetros necessrios (frequncia, polarizao, symbol rate, account data, etc.). Obviamente que tambm testamos e posso afirmar que no encontramos nada para reclamar. At mesmo quando gravamos em segundo plano o sistema realmente impressionante, assim como foi possvel assistir a um canal HDTV enquanto ao mesmo tempo navegava na Internet via satlite.

Internet Via Satlite mais fcil do que voc pensa
Assim que nos habituamos a usar a Internet, difcil de pensar no ter acesso Internet durante um longo perodo. No entanto, ainda existem locais, at mesmo em pases mais desenvolvidos onde no existe linha telefnica disponvel. Nestes casos a nica possibilidade as operadoras GSM? No propriamente neste caso podemos pensar numa ligao de duas-vias por satlite. A recepo de dados de IP via satlite no muito diferente da recepo de fluxo de transporte.

para a recepo. Isto porque o LNB/unidade BUC grande e pesado. O BUC consome cerca de 30 W de energia elctrica e deve ser equipado com um grande e pesado dissipador de calor. Alm disso, o prato deve garantir a geometria adequada e a estabilidade do alinhamento, porque se no, vai estar transmitindo sinais interferentes para satlites vizinhos. No admira que estas antenas parablicas sejam maiores e mais slidas do que aquelas que conhecem os entusiastas pelos satlites. Estas antenas parablicas so frequentemente chamadas de antenas VSAT. VSAT significa Very Small Aperture Terminal e significa uma estao terrestre de satlite de duas-vias. SVEC 1.2 dish 74.2 dBV 13.5 dB 12.8 dB 5.6 dB 5 x 10-5

As caixas que traziam os componentes da antena parablica SVEC eram grandes e pesadas. No admira, tudo feito em ao. Assim que acabamos de desempacotar e examinar os componentes, conclumos com satisfao que a montagem deve ser fcil. E de facto, foi. At mesmo sem as instrues de montagem, no foi difcil descobrir o que tem que deve ser montado e com que pea. Mas tudo encaixou-se na perfeio com excepo de um pequeno detalhe. No conseguimos descobrir como encaixar os dois suportes laterais BUC/ LNB. Ao fim de algum tempo, percebemos que os suportes montados na ponta da antena deviam ficar supostamente

montados com o suporte do LNB e tnhamos montado de cabea para baixo. Ficou tudo OK assim que montamos de forma correcta e no tivemos mais problemas. Devido ao tamanho e peso do hardware, em algumas operaes vai precisar de uma mozinha - por exemplo, na montagem da viga reflectora. Por falar em viga esta tem uma base muito prtica com trs pernas. Se a superfcie no for muito plana e horizontal vai conseguir ajustar cada perna independente e garantir que a viga fique perfeitamente na vertical. Gostamos imenso do mecanismo de ajuste do azimute. realmente um sonho, quando comparado com as antenas normais de recepo. Conseguimos montar a antena muito prxima do sentido correcto e seguidamente giramos a alavanca que faz a antena rodar para Este ou Oeste. E assim, consegue ajustar o azimute com uma preciso absoluta.
O ajuste da elevao bastante clssico - um parafuso comprido e grosso com duas porcas de fixao. Podemos assegurar-lhe que este ajuste tambm bastante preciso e pode afinar a elevao ao pormenor, bem como o azimute. O suporte do LNB/BUC com feedhorn e guias de onda aceita a recepo standard e unidades de transmisso. A antena separa as polarizaes - no nosso caso foi utilizada a polarizao vertical para a recepo e a polarizao horizontal para transmitir o sinal. Tambm permite ajustar a inclinao do BUC/LNB. Precisvamos de ter uma inclinao de 10 e no tivemos problemas em obter. Assim que acabamos de instalar o BUC e o LNB, rodamos a antena na direco que pensvamos ser do EUROBIRD 3 a 33 Este, porque o que o nosso provedor de Internet via satlite usa para o seu servio. Conectamos um analisador de sinal
de satlite na sada do LNB e imediatamente recebemos um sinal na viso do espectro. Corremos para a funo de identificao por satlite e, para nossa surpresa, era o EUROBIRD 3. Seguidamente, verificamos os parmetros do transponder e reparamos que o nosso ponto de vista do espectro estava exactamente centrado no transponder correcto. Inacreditvel! A nica coisa que faltava era a sintonia fina do azimute, altura e inclinao. Quando tudo comea a correr melhor do que o esperado, melhor ser cauteloso. A lei de Murphy est ainda mais severa. E de fato, o nosso modem DOCSIS no conseguia bloquear o servio. O LED indicador de recepo estava a piscar, o LED indicador de transmisso estava a piscar e no conseguamos conectar Internet. Ligamos para a operadora assim que acabamos de verificar tudo pela segunda vez. Ao fim de algum tempo responderam com a mensagem de que tambm
no conseguiam bloquear o sinal. Disseram que evidentemente algo estava errado com o uplink e que iam investigar o problema no exterior. Cerca de meia hora depois, eles voltaram a ligar dizendo que o modem deles tinha bloqueado o sinal. Uma breve verificao revelou que o nosso modem tambm tinha bloqueado. Finalmente, tivemos acesso Internet via satlite.
Desempenho
Ns verificamos que as velocidades de download e upload eram e obtemos os: 2849 kb/s e 160 kb/s. Os nmeros estavam em conformidade com a especificao de conexo que obtivemos do nosso provedor. Foi notvel um pequeno atraso antes do incio do download, mas isto normal numa comunicao por satlite. Afinal, o satlite est l em cima a 36000 km e precisamos de alguns dados no buffer para quando for necessrio usar sistemas de correco de erros.

Channel Bit Error Rate. Foi quase duas vezes to bom como o de referncia. Para os leitores no familiarizados com o termo: quanto menor for o CBER, menor numero de erros de bits precisam ser corrigidos pelo modem. Tambm a margem de ligao aumentou de 5,2 dB para 5,6 dB e dever saber que 5 dB j considerado como muito bom. Temos a certeza de que usando uma antena SVEC a nossa conexo com a Internet ser quase completamente insensvel as condies do tempo. No tivemos possibilidade de medir o sinal transmitido, mas o desempenho do modelo SVEC deve ser melhor
na mesma proporo do que o de referncia. Faz parte da fsica. Afirmamos isto porque os dois LNB e BUC usam o mesmo feedhorn localizado na mesma posio em relao ao reflector. O nosso teste revelou que a antena SVEC de 1,2 m muito boa (se no for boa de mais) para um acesso casual Internet na Polnia. Nas outras regies do mundo onde o sinal no to forte, a utilizao de uma antena de 1,2 m em vez de 1 m poder fazer a diferena. As nossas medies revelaram que o ganho da antena elevado. Isso significa que sua geometria perfeita. A antena SVEC de 1,2 m a escolha perfeita para utilizar com o VSAT.
Mas como avaliar a qualidade da conexo? Decidimos comparar o sinal de entrada recebendo o sinal com a antena SVEC de 1,2 m e com uma antena normal de 1 m, o que temos ao assinar este
servio na nossa localizao aqui na Polnia. Como pode ver na tabela, a antena SVEC enviou um sinal muito forte de boa qualidade. Conseguimos ver atravs do

Cabos de
ligao Hbrido de FibraCoaxial para Distribuio do Sistema
A nica forma de manter a relao C/N muito alta a utilizao de interruptores e linhas de transmisso com uma baixa perda de sinal. Mas a melhor soluo que tem actualmente disponvel o uso de cabos de fibra ptica. Pode ter no mnimo uma atenuao de 0,2 dB por km e uma das taxas de erro extremamente baixa (10-10), at mesmo nas mais altas taxas de bits. Obviamente, que todos sabemos que no corrente elctrica, mas um feixe de luz que percorre o cabo de fibra ptica. Sendo assim, precisamos converter o sinal elctrico num feixe de luz laser modulado. Que pode ser feito directamente no LNB sobre este assunto veja outros anteriores Relatrios de Ensaio da TELE-satlite - ou com a ajuda de um conversor externo. Neste ltimo caso podemos simplesmente usar um LNB Quattro normal ou um Quad e seguidamente converter as suas quatro sadas em luz. SPAUN, o famoso fabricante Alemo, enviou-nos o seu ltimo produto desenhado para este efeito chama-se SOTX131607 NF. Deram o nome de transmissor ptico. Na outra extremidade da fibra ptica precisamos de fazer a operao inversa retorno da demodulao para um sinal elctrico. SPAUN deu um nome unidade que faz esta funo num receptor ptico e atribuiu o nmero do modelo: SORx1310607 NF. Tudo bem, mas no faz a modulao extra e a demodulao estraga o C/N do sinal? Isto iria arruinar todos os benefcios introduzidos pela baixa perda de sinal nos cabos de fibra ptica. Isto 62 TELE-satellite Global Digital TV Magazine 12-01/201 www.TELE-satellite.com 1
exactamente o que pretendamos saber com as nossas medies. Mas antes do teste propriamente dito, vamos ver de perto as unidades. Como todos os produtos SPAUN, a sua obra perfeita. Os rtulos colocados na tampa superior tambm esto em Ingls e Alemo e no h dvidas a forma como deve conectar.
O SOTx 1310607 NF tem uma entrada de RF para podermos ligar apenas o sinal de satlite IF, como tambm o sinal de satlite terrestre IF, partindo do princpio que juntamos tudo anteriormente (por exemplo, com a ajuda de um diplexer). Isto possvel porque a entrada est projectada para uma faixa
de frequncia que vai de 47 a 2200 MHz, isto abrange tanto a faixa de frequncia terrestre como a faixa de frequncia satlite. Existe um recurso interessante que o ajuste independente do nvel de sinal do satlite e do nvel de sinal terrestre na entrada: SPAUN adicionou dois atenuadores de 0-12 dB.

meiro transmissor e ligar o segundo transmissor com um pequeno cabo coaxial. Desta forma, no precisamos de unidades de energia separadas para cada transmissor. SPAUN PSU um conjunto suficientemente forte para alimentar at quatro transmissores, assumindo que no precisamos de energia para o LNB. Se precisarmos de alimentar o LNB, que normalmente ser este o caso, o nmero fica reduzido para trs transmissores. No entanto, toda a instalao simplificada. O transmissor ptico tambm possui um LED indicador que para alem de sinalizar a ligao corrente tambm informa se existe um curto-circuito na entrada do LNB. Neste ultimo caso simplesmente comea a piscar. Esta funo de facto bastante intuitiva. Outra sada elctrica o sinal de teste descrito como -20 dB. Isto simplesmente a entrada de uma atenuao de 20 dB, que a entrada de luz no modulador. Podemos us-la para verificar se o sinal RF est realmente presente na entrada do transmissor e qual ser o seu nvel. A sada ptica SC/APC est protegida com uma tampa preta que tem que ser removida antes de conectar o cabo de fibra ptica. A propsito, A ligao de entradas e sadas pticas um sonho tornado realidade para os instaladores de satlite. Apenas precisa de pressionar suavemente at sentir um clique e est montado. Depois dos conhecidos conectores F isto realmente uma diferena bastante agradvel! Para enviarmos quatro sinais de um LNB Quattro, precisamos usar quatro transmissores SOTX 1310607 NF. Felizmente, foi possvel monitorizar muito mais o receptor do que o transmissor. O SORX 1310607 NF um receptor quad: tem quatro entradas e quatro sadas elctricas pticas RF. Em contraste com o emissor, o receptor fornecido sem uma fonte de alimentao, porque supostamente dever receber a sua energia a partir da unidade
Os transmissores pticos no podem ser alimentados atravs de um cabo de fibra ptica. Precisamos de uma ligao externa de 19 V DC. SPAUN tem a unidade adequada para todos SOTX 1310607 NF. A energia elctrica necessria para a unidade mas tambm para alimentar o LNB. Com a ajuda
de um comutador montado na caixa do transmissor seleccionamos a tenso adequada e a presena do sinal de 22 kHz. E assim podemos usar um LNB Quattro (basta definir 12 V em todos os quatro caminhos do sinal) ou um LNB Quad (precisamos definir cada caminho diferente: 12V, 18V, 12V/22kHz, 18V/22kHz). Se
tivermos uma fonte de sinal que no precise de alimentao DC, podemos desligar completamente. O SOTX 1310607 NF tem duas tomadas do tipo F ligadas em paralelo para fornecimento de energia. Graas a isso podemos ligar uma fonte de alimentao para o pri-

central de distribuio ou pelo comutador, como qualquer tipo de LNB normal. A tomada coaxial chamada C no receptor ptico actua como conector de energia, aqui o usurio deve conectar o cabo coaxial de uma unidade central ou comutador. No nosso caso fizemos diferente: como o receptor ptico precisa da mesma tenso DC que o transmissor, pegamos numa das fontes de alimentao do grupo de transmissores. As unidades so muito versteis: oferecem uma ampla faixa de tenso de alimentao (100...240 AC/47...63 Hz), mas a SPAUN tambm oferece uma srie de adaptadores para que possa usar em qualquer parte do mundo. A fonte de alimentao DC pode ser conectada a qualquer um dos dois conectores F. Como no transmissor, que so ligados em paralelo. Portanto, se for necessrio uma alimentao DC num outro dispositivo semelhante, preferimos usar um cabo coaxial do que outra fonte de alimentao. Um LED indicador informa se o aparelho est ligado. O transmissor e o receptor pode ser montado na parede com apenas 2 parafusos. No devem ser expostos ao ar livre, mas sim utilizados dentro de casa. No entanto, a sua temperatura de funcionamento bastante ampla: -20C a 50C. O folheto anexado a cada unidade est escrito em Ingls e Alemo e fornece todas as informaes necessrias, juntamente com os modelos de circuitos de aplicao.

Agora que j estamos familiarizar com as unidades, chegou o momento de juntar todos os blocos para ver que tipo de desempenho oferecem. SPAUN recomenda Sinais muito fortes para abastecer o sistema de distribuio de fibra ptica: 80-83 dBV para o satlite IF e 85 para o sistema terrestre. O valor mximo de 95 dBV. Steffen Kuck, Tcnico Gerente da SPAUN, explica64 TELE-satellite Global Digital TV Magazine 12-01/201 www.TELE-satellite.com 1
Steven Kuck
o Chefe Tcnico da SPAUN para o sistema ptico
-nos: O nosso sistema ptico est projectado para o mximo desempenho e como tal requer uma entrada com um sinal forte. Alimentamos a nossa unidade de teste com um sinal de satlite real do HotBird. Conectamos os transmissores com o receptor atravs de cabos fibra ptica de pequena dimenso. Para simular os splitters pticos (ou cabos de comprimento elevado), inserimos um atenuador ptico de 10 dB e ainda um atenuador de 15 dB. Como pode ver nos grficos (grfico 1. e grfico
2.), A sada do receptor foi de apenas 5 dB ou 10 dB menor que na entrada do sistema, dependendo do atenuador que usamos. Mas o que acontece com a qualidade do sinal? Isso pode ser avaliado na entrada e sada atravs da Taxa de Erro de Modulao. Notamos uma pequenssima deteriorao na qualidade do sinal. (Grfico 3., grfico 4.) praticamente nada. Se tivermos 10 ou 15 dB de atenuao num cabo coaxial comprido, o sinal poder estar beira do limiar de recepo.
E relativamente aos sinais analgicos terrestres? Com um transporte de sinal potente (o mesmo recomendado pela SPAUN) estava tudo perfeito (48 versus 47 dB). O sistema ptico da SPAUN realmente apenas transporta o sinal de entrada da forma como ele recebido.
vencionais e distribu-los por vrias centenas de receptores de satlite! O nmero de assinantes que podem receber o sinal com esta nova tecnologia realmente impressionante. Convm lembrar que as fibras pticas no permitem passar os sinais DiSEqC. Para multiplicar o nmero de satlites disponveis no utilizador final, devemos multiplicar o nmero de fibras pticas (8 para 2 satlites, 12 para 3 satlites e assim por diante), bem como transmissores e receptores. O novo sistema ptico de transmisso da SPAUN garante uma instalao mais facilitada, mas tambm garante que cada utilizador final tenha um sinal forte e perfeito disponvel em cada tomada, at mesmo no canto mais remoto de uma grande rede.
Aplicaes
Estas novas unidades pticas de SPAUN abrem terreno para uma nova era de grandes redes de distribuio de TV. Cada sinal ptico na sada do transmissor pode ser dividido por 32 fibras pticas e deste modo criar enormes suportes principais para a rede. Por exemplo, em cada andar de um prdio grande, podemos ter um receptor ptico, com quatro sadas elctricas que por sua vez podem alimentar os multiswitchs con-

Satellite LNB for C and Ku band
INFOSAT

C/Ku band Combifeed with Integrated DiSEqC Switch

SATs C/Ku band feed delivered from Thailand was designed primarily for use on prime focus antennas; although with a little modication ingenuity, it can be tted on an offset antenna. For our rst test we opted to use a 120-cm antenna already installed on the roof of our testing facility. Such a 120-cm antenna already gives you access to thousands of channels from around the world in the Ku band. But as numerous as the Ku band availability really is, long-distance reception is typically achieved only with C band and thanks to this new Combifeed, it is quite easy to retrot your current system for C band reception. Since offset antennas are not normally designed to handle C band feeds, a cable clip, available from any electrical installer, was used to secure the Combifeed to the dish. Its not exactly a professional solution, but it is very effective and inexpensive. The installation required some dexterity but after several attempts and some ne tuning adjustments, the feed was in the correct position. The entire assembly including antenna motor was previously aligned using a standard 40mm Ku band LNB; the less
The C band is popular in many areas of the world, mainly in areas with heavy downpours or high humidity, since under these conditions the C band offers more advantages, being less sensible to rain compared to signals in the Ku band. But even in areas dominated by Ku band signals, as for example in Europe, there are still plenty of C band programmes to get. But erecting a second dish just for C band is often too much of trouble.
Right into this gap comes the C/Ku band LNB on offer by INFOSAT from Thailand. You no longer need two dishes, but you use your existing dish and just replace your current Ku band LNB against INFOSATs combifeed C/Ku band LNB. Of course you would better own a bigger dish, since C band signals usually are less strong than signals in Ku band. In most location, a dish with 120-cm would be sufcient to get in some interesting channels transmitted via satellites in C band. We gave it a test run at our editorial ofces in the center of Europe. INFO-
The C/Ku band

sensitive C band should therefore be no problem. With great expectations, we turned the antenna to the especially strong EXPRESS AM1 band satellite at 40 east. According to INFOSAT, the Combifeed has a Ku band reception range of 10.7 to 12.75 GHz using LOF (local oscillator frequency) values of 9.75 and 10.6 GHz as well as a C band range of 3.4 to 4.2 GHz with an LOF of 5.150 GHz. The specications also claim a gain of 65dB with a noise gure of 0.3 dB. Our rst tests were aimed at the C band so we quickly set up the correct LOF and then had a look at our spectrum analyzer. It indicated a strong signal located at 3675R. We quickly started a channel scan and found numerous Russian channels with plenty of signal strength. Further on, South American channels with relatively high signal strength could be found on NSS 806 at 40.5 west. A number of MCPC and SCPC transponders were receivable in sufcient quality. Especially strong were some Columbian channels on 4021L and RCN TV on 4016R; unfortunately, this channel was encrypted. Even a package of programs from Venezuela on 3880R could be received but without any bad weather reserves. A few other transponders were also receivable.
The C/Ku band

Combifeed mounted in a offset dish
We were less successful when we tried NSS7 at 22 west where we could only receive 3644R without any problems. On Atlantic Bird 3 at 5 west we were able to easily view 4154L but all the other transponders hovered around the threshold level of the receiver. Even though the signal analyzer identied a number of clearly recognizable peaks on the display, they were still not strong enough for actual reception.
Things looked a little better on INTELSAT 907 at 27.5 west where we could receive three transponders (3715R with just some radio channels, 3831R with feeds from RTP/Portugal and 4048R). On INTELSAT 903 at 34.5 west only one transponder was receivable. For all the other C band satellite receviable at our location our dish was
simply too small. The normally strong EXPRESS AM44 satellite at 11 west could not be received with our 120cm antenna; the signals that we saw on the spectrum analyzer were too weak. The next step involved
Up until now we were quite pleased with the results we had gotten; now it was time to take a look at Ku band reception. The tions strong such as DTH posiat

taking a closer look towards the east. We stumbled across a few surprises: the (unfortunately encrypted) AFN package on INTELSAT 906 at 64.2 east on 4094L was identied by our receiver, Bangla Vision could be seen on APSTAR 2R at 76.5 east on 4049H and the Express AM1 at 40 east delivered a number of Russian channels with plenty of bad weather reserve.
on EUTELSAT W4 at 36 east could be received in surprisingly good quality.
Included in the package:
the C/Ku band Combifeed by INFOSAT in one housing with feed and jumper cable for the built-in DiSEqC switch.
If you remove the dielectric in the feed, then standard Ku band H/V signals could be received effortlessly. The reasons for the diminished performance of the Combifeed in the Ku band are fairly obvious. On the one hand, the included feed was not designed for use on offset antennas so you really cant blame the manufacturer for this shortfall. On the other hand, the homemade feed holder makes it rather difcult to perfectly align the LNB in the focal point of the antenna. And lets not forget that the C band is much more forgiving compared to the Ku band in terms of antenna alignment. Overall we can say that it denitely pays to replace your current LNB with the INFOSAT C/Ku band Combifeed. Dont expect miracles with signal quality in the Ku band, but for the reception of the strong C and Ku band positions, the Combifeed would be the perfect choice. At the same time, it gives you a peek at the wonderful world of C band even with a small antenna without having to eliminate the Ku band.

COMPANY REPORT
Empresa Produtora NetUP de software e Hardware, Rssia
Empresa Jovem, Mas Com um Knowhow Extensivo: NetUP de Moscovo

Alexander Wiese
Ser que ser jovem e saber o know-how so termos de contradio? Em muitos casos , mas se estamos a falar de saber o know-how de fabricar algo, os dois termos encaixam perfeitamente. Ser Jovem um trunfo, pois significa que no h obrigao de depender da evoluo do passado. Afinal, onde podemos encontrar um exemplo onde o perfeito ser jovem satisfaz o know-how ? Mas se estivermos a falar sobre tecnologia digital lembramo-nos da Rssia. E se apoiarmos a nossa hiptese com o facto de que a Moscow State University (Universidade do Estado de Moscovo) est classificada como uma das melhores universidades no mundo em ensino da tecnologia digital e pesquisa, por isso a Rssia parece ser o local apropriado!
Na realidade, acertamos em 3 alvos: NetUP, uma empresa fundada muito recentemente em 2001, tem a sua sede administrativa nos arredores de Moscow State University. A estao de metro mais prxima a Universidade e os dois fundadores da NetUP so - naturalmente! - Ex-alunos daquela universidade. E de facto, no so apenas os dois fundadores que so graduados da Universidade Estadual de Moscovo, mas tambm quase todos os outros funcionrios. obvio que todos vm que a NetUP trabalha em harmonia com uma colectiva forma de know-how em tecnologia digital, por outro lado todos os trabalhadores da NetUP so ainda muito jovens. Vamos comear por Abylay Ospan, que um dos fundadores da empresa e que actua como Director: Tenho 30 anos, constata sorrindo. O seu scio fundador, Evgeniy Makeev, tem um Douramento Universitrio em matemtica e s agora fez 29 anos. Ambos se preocupam profundamente com algo que tenha a ver com a tecnologia digital,

Software e hardware (o traado dores de servios da Internet. da placa de circuito) foram projectados por nossos prprios engenheiros. Ainda estava no seu ltimo semestre na universidade quando Abylay Ospan juntouAndrew Budkin, chefe de Desenvolvi-se a seu colega Evgeniy Makeev para definir a sua prpria empresa que vendia o software de facturao para potenciais clientes.

O momento no poderia ter sido melhor. No seu primeiro ano de actividade as vendas nunca ultrapassaram os cinco dgitos em Dlares Americanos, o volume de negcios no segundo ano aumentou de forma consistente. Foi a poca em que surgiram os ISPs em todos os pases da CEI, e a maioria deles virou-se para solues de software NetUP. Actualmente mais de 2.000 ISPs contam com o nosso software de facturao, 90% esto localizados em pases da CEI, Informa com orgulho o Gerente de Vendas da NetUP, Konstantin Emelyanov. Fornecedores de pequenas e mdias empresas gostam da nossa soluo de software, que ideal para uma base de clientes que pode ir at 50.000 At mesmo o nome da empresa derivado de que a estratgia: Network Up - uma empresa que cuida da expanso da redes. Entretanto a NetUP acrescentou um outro segmento de negcio ao seu portflio, que encaixa perfeitamente com o negcio do software original para ISPs: NetUP tambm est a desenvolver software e hardware para IPTV. A IPTV j conquistou uma quota de 70% de nossa facturao, o Director da NetUP, Abylay Ospan, revela e acrescenta: as vendas anuais esto elevadas em cerca de um milho de dlares Americanos para este ano. De facto, tornou-se difcil diferenciar entre o software para os ISPs e IPTV, porque muitos fornecedores de servios Internet 84 TELE-satellite Global Digital TV Magazine 12-01/201 www.TELE-satellite.com 1

mento de Software e sabe precisamente a quantidade de esforo colocado em tal projecto. Para a placa DVB-S2 tivemos dois dos nossos engenheiros a trabalhar em conjunto durante um semestre at que o hardware estivesse pronto para produo. Tivemos mais dois engenheiros de software que fizeram aos drivers necessrios para o software baseado em Linux. A NetUP tambm desempenhou um papel importante para encontrar o fabricante certo para a produo das placas para PC. Uma instalao que fica a uma distncia de 100 km de Moscovo est encarregada de fabricar as nossas placas para PC. As placas so usadas apenas por instaladores profissionais, isto significa que os nmeros de produo esto mais abaixo comparado com a produo em massa. Ns apenas produzimos cerca de 1.000 placas por ano, informa Abylay Ospan. Por isso ficamos curiosos e estvamos ansiosos para descobrir que novidades a NetUP tm para nos informar. Neste final de 2010 vamos lanar uma placa PCIe para DVB-T e DVB-C. Assim como tambm a placa DVB-S2, tem
duas entradas e sintonizadores. Tambm estamos a trabalhar para um carto com duas entradas ASI. As placas PCIe NetUP no so direccionadas para o mercado privado do usurio final. Elas so usadas em equipamentos profissionais de streaming, como o DVB da NetUP para IP gateway 4X e IPTV Combine 4x. O ltimo (IPTV Combine 4x) um produto especial para o mercado de hospitalidade. Isto uma soluo tudo-em-um para IPTV, que inclui IPTV Middleware, billing, DVB para o IP gateway e servidor VoD (ver Relatrio de Ensaio na TELE-satlite 10-11/2010). Tais sistemas de IPTV so ptimos para hotis e hospitais, porque cada sala pode aceder individualmente, mas a infra-estrutura de cabo pode ser definida como um sistema condutor. Um dos nossos maiores grupos de clientes os hotis que geralmente tm os sistemas de duas vias. Isto significa que os hspedes do hotel conseguem desfrutar da
televiso e acesso Internet em seus quartos, como tambm a gesto do hotel capaz de enviar mensagens pessoais e personalizadas para os hspedes em seus quartos , Abylay Ospan estabelece as razes por detrs da infra-estrutura. Existe uma outra caracterstica que mostra-nos que as placas PCIe da NetUP so projectadas para o mercado de profissionais de alta-qualidade: Neste momento estamos a enviar as nossas placas baseadas no chipset ALTERA. O que torna isto to especial? Bem, o hardware idntico para cada cliente e apenas o software na placa PCIe define o seu mbito de aplicao. No terceiro trimestre de 2011 tambm vamos ter a nossa placa 2 x DVB-S2 - que foi apresentada na TELE-satlite com o chipset ALTERA, O Gerente de Vendas da NetUP, Konstantin Emelyanov acrescenta. Por falar em produtos j introduzidos na TELE-satlite: O NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x pode ser encomendado com um codificador H.264/transconder como o Q3 de 2011. Tudo vai ficar ainda mais emocionante no final de 2011, ns vamos ter o DVB-IP Gateway a 4x com unicast. Isso vai fazer o dispositivo que at ao momento apenas est disponvel como um modelo multicast - ainda mais prximo do utilizador e tambm vai permitir que uma pessoa consiga distribuir os seus canais de televiso atravs da Internet. O Director do Desenvolvimento de Software, Andrew Budkin, tem guardado outra novidade interessante. No faz sentido econmico para alguns provedores de internet-via-satlite apenas usarem a banda base que economiza uma valiosa largura de banda. por isso que a NetUP decidiu
1. Est sempre ao dispor dos clientes: Gerente de Vendas, Konstantin Emelyanov. 2. Este o local onde funciona a NetUP faz os seus negcios no piso trreo. O telhado tem duas antenas parablicas que recebem os sinais necessrios para o desenvolvimento das inovadoras placas de satlite.
desenvolver placas de PC com a estratgia precisamente a pensar nisso. Os grandes servios pblicos podem estar extremamente interessados nesta tecnologia, acrescenta Abylay Ospan e tem o seguinte exemplo: A Gazprom utiliza esta nica-via de tecnologia para as suas redes locais. NetUP apenas o especialista para projectar os produtos certos, com um software correspondente para aplicaes de nicho como esta. At ao momento, ouvimos todas estas histrias de sucesso sobre os produtos inovadores, mas quem so as pessoas que realizam todo o trabalho duro por trs? Se olharmos em torno das instalaes da NetUP conseguimos alguma luz sobre esta questo. Um total de dez engenheiros e programadores trabalham no desenvolvimento, outros dez so engenheiros e programadores de suporte tcnico para resolver problemas que podem surgir dos nossos clientes profissionais, e outros dez trabalhadores so responsveis pela Gesto e Administrao. O Gerente de Vendas, Konstantin Emelyanov, informa onde os representantes

da empresa podem ser contactados pessoalmente: Todos os anos, participamos activamente na IBC (Amesterdo), CSTB (Moscovo) e IPTV World Forum (Londres). Se procura uma empresa jovem, com um amplo know-how, est no local certo, a NetUP. A empresa est em vanguarda quando se trata da mais recente tecnologia de IPTV e tem um grande conhecimento tcnico que os trabalhadores da NetUP adquiriram na Universidade Estadual de Moscovo. Tudo isto d um impulso enorme para a conquista do novo mundo de IPTV!

COMPANY REPORT
Fabricante Tevii com placas para PC & Receptores, Taiwan
Tevii Perfura Dentro de Novos Mercados

Tevii - enquanto jovem de idade j teve uma slida reputao com as suas placas para PC e caixas USB e neste momento est no progresso de lanar uma nova gama de novos mercados. Matthias Liu o fundador da Tevii e o director com maior-pontuao de vendas. Ele revelou alguns planos para o futuro numa reunio que tivemos com ele em Munique, uma de uma srie de destinos globais que visitou recentemente.
Para comear, Matthias Liu apresenta um breve resumo sobre as suas actividades anteriores: At 2006 eu trabalhava como gerente de vendas de uma grande empresa na indstria de satlites. Quando esta empresa foi adquirida por outros tomei a deciso de trabalhar por conta prpria. Alguns dos seus antigos colegas ficaram igualmente impressionados com a minha previso de estratgia de negcios e por isso tambm decidiram vir. Tevii comeou com um efectivo total de apenas oito pessoas, Recorda Matthias na sua caminhada pela estrada da memria. Nunca fcil comear do zero e o primeiro objectivo na nossa lista de aces era o desenvolvimento de nossos prprios produtos. Aconteceu apenas no ano seguinte, 2007, conseguimos gerar um modesto volume de negcios Se estiver curioso sobre o nmero exacto: Era de 250.000 dlares Americanos em 2007. Desde ento Tevii percorreu um longo caminho e espera que as vendas cheguem a 2.2 milhes de dlares Americanos em 2010 e at cerca de 3 milhes de dlares Americanos no ano seguinte. Estamos a falar de um negcio slido! Obviamente, que os nmeros de funcionrios tambm aumentou de forma que hoje temos 28 funcionrios, um enorme nmero 18 dos quais so engenheiros em pesquisa

director de vendas da Tevii
e desenvolvimento. Matthias Liu pode estar verdadeiramente orgulhoso com o que tem sido capaz de alcanar num perodo to curto de tempo. Mas afinal de tudo o que a Tevii? Temos estado sempre concentrados em placas de PC para recepo de satlite. E para os utilizadores de portteis a nossa gama tambm inclui caixas USB, explica Matthias Liu. Alis, Matthias no tem formao em engenharia, mas tem um sentimento de confiana para o que o mercado precisa. Estudamos cada produto e avaliamos se a expectativa de vendas justifica - e finalmente pagar para os custos de desenvolvimento, explica. Por isso no surpresa nenhuma, que o departamento R&D seja o elemento central do modelo de negcio da Tevii. A produo efectiva feita por outros fabricantes em Taiwan e em Shenzhen na terra Natal da China. O truque chegar com o produto certo na hora certa, afirma Matthias Liu e ilustra esta crena com um exemplo: Agora fala-se muito sobre DVB-T2, por exemplo, mesmo que esta seja uma tecnologia que apenas vai comear a penetrar nos mercados dentro de cerca de dois anos. Quando isso acontecer os nossos prprios produtos DVB-T2 vo estar igualmente prontos para descolar. No faz sentido em ser o primeiro, um desperdcio de recursos valiosos que apenas pode ser usufrudo se for usado sabiamente. Decidir na hora certa a chave para o sucesso econmico.

Um olhar de perto sobre a gama de produtos Tevii lidera a sustentao adicional teoria. Quando a empresa foi criada em 2007, tinha dois produtos: a placa S400 DVB-S para PC e uma caixa USB S600 para utilizar em computadores portteis. Ambos os produtos tinham um sintonizador de origem da Sharp, que foi substitudo por um sintonizador NIM da Serit no incio de 2008. Desde ento, a denominao do produto tem mudado para S420 e S630. Quando a era do DVB-S lentamente chegou ao fim e apareceu DVB-S2 ao virar da esquina Tevii lanou no final de 2008 os modelos sucessores a placa PC S464 e S660 USB uma caixa para usar no porttil. E - no que - o S470 da Tevii foi introduzido em 2009, justamente quando o mundo inteiro estava voltado para as slots PCIe (PCI Express) como um substituto para as slots de PC mais antigas. No final de 2010 uma nova procura foi cumprida com o lanamento de uma placa para PC com sintonizador duplo - o nome do modelo chama-se S480 e tem dois sintonizadores DVB-S2. Se ler todas as linhas desta reportagem, neste momento, vai provavelmente poder adivinhar o que vem depois. DVB-T aumentou substancialmente em todo o mundo, que apela para uma caixa USB com um sintonizador de recepo de DVB-S2 e um segundo sintonizador DVB-T. Mesmo assim, Matthias Liu deixou o melhor para o fim: Ns tambm estamos actual-
mente a oferecer uma placa sintonizadora quad para recepo DVB-T MPEG-4! Este produto foi desenvolvido especialmente para um fornecedor Australiano. A placa sintonizadora quad vendida em grandes quantidades em regies com uma grande oferta de DVB-T. Uma vez mais, Tevii esperou pelo momento certo. At que muito recentemente, o sistema DVB-T no tinha sido totalmente implementado em muitos pases, e as regies com mais de quatro frequncias de DVB-T eram poucas e dispersas. Sendo assim, que est para vir da linha de montagem da Tevii? Ficamos inquietos esperando ouvir de Matthias Liu o que a sua intuio est lhe dizendo. No incio de 2011 vamos lanar o nosso primeiro receptor totalmente convencional! Demos o nome de B600 e tem um sintonizador DVB-S2, sistema operacional Linux, funcionalidade PVR, interfaces USB e Ethernet e - obviamente - HDMI, apesar de ter duas entradas SCART para tambm garantir a compatibilidade com os antigos aparelhos televisivos. slots CI e CA completam esta caixa. O que fez a Tevii expandir do segmento de placas para PC para o mercado de receptores? realmente muito simples, Matthias Liu tem a resposta. As placas para PC so produtos para um nicho de mercado e agora que conseguimos uma reputao slida nesse nicho de mercado chegou a hora de lanar a nossa marca no mercado dos receptores. Isto no significa, contudo, que as placas para PC e as caixas USB estejam a ser negligenciadas. No primeiro trimestre de 2011 vamos apresentar uma extenso CI para as nossas caixas USB, que ser seguido no

segundo trimestre pela mesma extenso de nossas placas PCIe. Se olharmos ainda mais adiante, Matthias Liu acredita que 2012 ser um bom ano para lanar mais uma nova linha de produtos . Vamos ter caixas USB para recepo de DVB-C por cabo a clara focagem Tevii sobre DVB uma indicao para a Europa, sendo o mercado mais importante da empresa. Matthias Liu tem todos os nmeros: Ns geramos 40% das nossas vendas na Europa Ocidental, com mais 40% na Europa Oriental, incluindo a Rssia. Os restantes 20% vm do Mdio Oriente e do Egipto. H uma razo para Matthias Liu mencionar especificamente a Rssia e Egipto, porque Tevii est classificada em ambos os pases como sendo dos maiores-vendedores fornecedores de

Mas tambm estamos no progresso do desenvolvimento de produtos para o mercado Sul-Americano, Matthias Liu revela outro de seus planos a longo prazo, a expanso estratgica. Para terminar, queremos descobrir o que fez Matthias Liu decidir sobre a marca com o nome Tevii. simples, ele responde com um sorriso.

Finalmente, o e torna-se uma antena de satlite e o logtipo uma metfora para o que tem tudo a ver com a marca. Marketing inteligente, com esta viragem... Matthias Liu usou a sua intuio e ouviu a sua coragem para transformar o seu jovem negcio numa empresa inovadora num curso de apenas poucos anos. Um dos elementos-chave de sua estratgia de sucesso o foco consistente sobre a evoluo tcnica e no de transformao, que pode ser facilmente feita por terceiros e por isso no habilidade fundamental. Deixar os outros fabricar - Tevii prefere estar mais concentrado na apresentao de produtos certos na hora certa. E isto por si significa dominar a parte mais complicada.

minal devices at users site are TV-sets and receiver boxes that optionally have web connection. Please note: not the PCs! With a HbbTV product, the user still has only one remote control and one screen and the operation is as easy as with a regular TV-set and a receiver box. The user enjoys the combined wealth of broadcast and broadband: new services from entertainment providers, online providers and CE manufacturers. Examples are: catch-up TV, video on demand, interactive advertising, personalization, voting, betting, photo sharing or social networking. Enhanced EPG and teletext are also included. Hybrid in the HbbTV name means using on one side the medium typical for todays digital TV broadcast and on the other side the World Wide Web. Specication is independent from the broadcast transmission medium: DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-C. IP connection is recommend but not required. Of course, the functionality will be limited if one has no connection to the Internet. And now one paragraph for the professionals. The HbbTV specication is based on elements of existing standards and web technologies : OIPF (Open IPTV Forum), CEA, DVB and W3C. Except for the standard web technologies (HTML,

This will not be a surprise for TELE-satellite readers. A new standardization initiative has been started to integrate the digital TV world with the Internet. The basic idea is quite clear: make it as seamless as possible for the end user. TELE-satellite editors often mentioned the obvious truth: the average end user is rarely interested through what transmission medium data is coming to their TV-sets or monitors. Is it via satellite, via cable or via the air? Or perhaps via Ethernet cable rather than the coaxial one used in CATV? And maybe via optical bers?
This is a typical situation in todays rapidly changing industry: most advanced manufacturers demonstrate that new functionalities are possible from the technology and economical point of view and suddenly everybody realizes that if we do not have a good new standard, a number of solutions not compatible with one another will pop up soon. This will trigger a big confusion among the end users, operators and manufacturers. It is in everybodys interest to create a common solution. Exactly this happened in the receiver boxes industry. Our readers certainly remember the test reports describing the receivers capable not only to process satellite TV signal but also enabling the user to surf the Internet. On August 29 2009, a consortium of leading European companies of broadcasters, research institutes, satellite

Satellite Installation
iPhone, iPad and iPod Apps for Antenna Alignment, or: How your smartphone turns into a great tool for DXers and installers
Thomas Haring
Smartphones are currently turning our mobile world upside down and have conquered large segments of the consumer market. They allow us to not only stay in touch through conventional phone calls but also to check our mail, hook up to the Internet, stay up to date on social networking platforms like Twitter and Facebook, listen to music, shoot photos and help us with all sorts of everyday tasks. Yet, smartphones can also be used in the professional realm to help with the installation of satellite antennas, for example.
If we look at all the shiny smartphones on offer these days there is one particular kind that seems to ride a gigantic wave of success: Of course were talking about the Apple iPhone which in combination with the iTunes store offers a wealth of additional applications (socalled apps) to pimp it up. TELE-satellite has looked at a range of apps that might be handy with regard to satellite reception.

the camera to create augmented reality
they start out with determining the current location with the help of the iPhones buit-in GPS receiver. Next, you enter the satellite position youd like to receive and the app then calculates azimuth, elevation and skew parameters. In theory, these values are all you ever need to correctly set up your dish, and most antennas feature a small scale to help you nd the correct position. But if you dont have a compass at our disposal theres one answer you still need to nd, even though the azimuth angle is known: In which horizontal direction do you need to move the antenna? The DishPointer Maps app provides the answer by looking up data from Google Maps. On the phones display you see your location and its surroundings in map view, satellite view or hybrid view combining both, with an arrow clearly indicating which way your satellite antenna should
point. Comparing certain striking points on Google Maps with their real-world counterparts quickly lets you achieve a rough alignment of your antenna. Another aspect that needs to be addressed preferably BEFORE starting with the actual installation job is evaluating the local environment. DishPointer Compass comes into play now as it nds out whether or not a desired satellite position can be received at the actual location and which reception range a motorised antenna is able to cover. Perhaps there are trees, buildings or other obstructions in the way of perfect reception? After all, its of no use to do all the tricky work and mount an antenna only to nd out afterwards that the signals youre looking for dont reach the LNB. With DishPointer Compass its easy to avoid such disappointment. It lets you know which satellites can be received at
DishPointer Compass and DishPointer Maps

Some issues ago we introduced apps from DishPointer (TELE-satellite issues 02-03/2008 and 12-01/2010) and obviously they are featured in this overview as well. Both apps specically deal with satellite antenna installation and alignment and

the current location and where the best mounting place is. The app comes with an extremely comprehensive list of virtually all satellite positions between 180 East and 177 West. With the pro version (listed on the iTunes store as DishPointer Compass) this list can even be edited so that new positions can be added. The less expensive version without editing option is called DishPointer Augmented Reality.

Users start with selecting all those satellites that might be of interest to them. If a satellite is not featured on the prestored list it can easily be added manually (pro version only). A touch of the Camera AR View now activates the built-in camera and the iPhone itself needs to be pointed towards the sky. As if by magic the smartphones display does not only show the actual camera view but also depending on the way you hold and point the phone the Clarke Belt as well as all currently visible satellite positions. This way it is childs play, on one hand, to gure out which satellite is where and, on the other hand, to see at rst glance whether or not there is an unrestricted line of sight between your current location and the satellite. Such combination of actual view and additional information that is inserted by the device is called augmented reality and this new technology is tremendously helpful when it comes to visualise information that would be difcult to obtain otherwise. In the twinkling of an eye you can look at the complete range of a motorised antenna and before you even carry the antenna up to the roof you can check which satellites will be received and which wont. Its apps like these that can turn a regu4. Green arrows in the lower area mean the antenna has to be moved another 10 to the West in order to receive signals from THOR at 1 West 5.

No more unnecessary work and no more wasted time and money.

received the grid is moved along the map like a slider and the app shows which satellite is to be found at the current position of the grid. You then need to nd your own location on the map and read the values that are indicated with circles. In our test we were not really impressed by that approach since the world map appears rather small on the iPhones display. This makes it difcult to accurately determine your actual location, which in turn may lead to signicant deviations from correct parameters. The augmented reality version of this app uses the integrated camera of the iPhone and superimposes the Clarke Belt with the corresponding satellite positions. As with the DishPointer Compass app you need to point the iPhone towards the sky and move it until the Clarke Belt appears on the display. Unfortunately this feature, too, is inferior to the DishPointer app: While the Satellite Augmented Reality app features a comprehensive list of prestored satellites all of which can be selected or unselected for displaying we didnt appreciate the fact the Clarke Belt itself is not shown as a continuous

EasySat
EasySat comes with a database of 173 satellites complete with their full names and orbital positions. Thanks to the builtin positioning system of the iPhone this app calculates azimuth, elevation and skew of any desired satellite with regard to the current location. There is also a virtual Clarke Belt for you to select the desired satellites, or you may choose to pick your preferred orbital position from a pre-stored list. For those of you with an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 with integrated compass there even is a convenient graphic display showing satellite installers the way to the correct azimuth value. Red and green arrows pop up until you point the phone accurately in the direction of the required satellite. If you now point the antenna in the same direction as well you have already achieved a rough alignment. We tried it out in a real-world scenario and were very pleased with the results.

This app comes in two versions: One is for the iPhone 3G without compass (Satellite Sliderule Pro), and the other is for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 with compass (Satellite Augmented Reality). Both versions show a world map with geographic borders of all countries and superimpose grid-like rulers for determining azimuth and elevation values. Depending on the satellite that is to be

In our opinion this feature serves no useful purpose and wastes valuable display space after all, the iPhones display is on the smaller side for satellite installation anyway. To be fair, this app is less expensive than most competing products with 1.59 (US$ 1.99) for the simpler version and 3.99 (US$ 4.99) for the augmented reality version. On the other hand, due to limited usability we still cannot wholeheartedly recommend this solution.

Conclusion
As you have seen, quite a number of apps deal with satellite antenna installation and alignment. Obviously, this overview can only provide a snapshot of what is available at a given point in time, as the number of apps increases almost by the day. Resourceful software developers are probably working on even better solutions this very moment and as always beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While particular features may be an absolute must for some, others will go out of their way to avoid them. We have tried to establish factual criteria for rating all apps in this overview, but we would still urge our readers to try out and see for themselves which app they like best. For a rough orientation have a close look at the screenshots provided or the information available on the iTunes store.

DishLoc
The DishLoc app sports a clever design and easy-to-use interface. It comes with an extensive database of all direct-tohome satellites, determines the current location by using the iPhones integrated GPS receiver and adjusts the list of satellites accordingly. We genuinely liked that approach because it just wouldnt make sense for a German user to be shown satellite positions such as ECHOSTAR 14 at 119 West, for example. Unless you decide to dig a hole through the earth youll never have a chance of receiving signals from that position in Germany. As a next step, one or more satellites can be selected for detailed analysis. As soon as the current location is set either manually or determined via GPS all satellite entries come with correct azimuth, elevation and skew values. We found this to be a very convenient feature.

DXer REPORT
Rainer Schulz and Berndt Rosenberger, Lausitz, Germany
Two Satellite DIY enthusiasts

Have you ever built a satellite receiver yourself? Not many have, but Rainer Schulz from the small town of Trbitz an der Lausitz in the East of Germany is one of the very few who achieved just that in 1988. And he didnt stop there: He even built a 1.5m antenna to go with it. Its no surprise then that he chose to become self-employed and founded a small satellite dispatching business which today is run by his daughter Daniela Knott.
Trbitz (Cottbus)
Theres no doubt: A house with such
huge antenna in the front yard must be occupied by DXers. In case youre wondering the antenna can be rotated and therefore receives signals from 31 satellites in an arc from 83 East to 58 West.

Previous TELE-satellite DXer Reports can be Read Here:
Rainer Schulzs company is based in a pretty family home that looks just like many others in the Lausitz area. A huge 3.66m satellite antenna that is surrounded by several smaller dishes reveals whats going on inside. In an annex next to the garage visitors find a small showroom with receivers that might be interesting for DXers, above all. These boxes are equipped with lowthreshold tuners and a reliable blind san mode, both of which are key features of DX receivers. This box, for instance, comes with an extremely accurate signal quality indicator, Rainer Schulz explains and points to a receiver providing immediate feedback with regard to changing signal quality. 19% means there is stable video, 18% means some artefacts will occur and 17% means reception is not possible anymore. Such attention to detail is additional proof of Rainer Schulzs DX credentials. It all started in 1988 when he was manager of the measurement and control systems department at a large manufacturer of agricultural machinery in Eastern Germany. At the time the Berlin Wall was still in place and there was no way you could get your hands on satellite receivers, LNBs or antennas in what was the German Democratic Republic. Yet, Rainer Schultz was in a privileged position: I also used to work in customer service for my employer, which meant I was allowed to

out on top of the showroom: The Ku band LNB in the centre is surrounded by a C band LNB for linear polarisation and a second C band LNB for circular polarisation. The whole system is motor-powered for automatic alignment.

in the showroom next to a display cabinet filled with a huge range of multiswitches. 70% of our customers are regular users, while 30% are genuine satellite DXers. Some 80% of sales are achieved in Germany, with another 10% going to Austria and 5% each to Denmark and the Netherlands, she says.
undertake business trips to West Germany. There he obtained a tuner, an LNB as well as a wiring diagram and smuggled everything back to East Germany. He used the workshop of his employer to build his first self-made receiver with the components and information collected in the West. I even went so far as to build an antenna as well, he walks down memory lane. I made a parabolic mould using concrete in my backyard, laid it out with epoxide resin and glass-fibre sheet and in the end had a perfectly usable 1.5m dish. Up to this day Rainer Schulz is proud of his early achievements and even digs up the receiver he made back then from the basement. And as if that wasnt enough, there is even a signal meter around that he also built himself back then. Obviously, his technical knowledge didnt go unnoticed and so it came about that he built a total of ten receivers himself. They were sold on for tons of money, as CATV head-ends, in particular, were interested in satellite receivers and paid up to 6.000 marks per unit. After the Berlin Wall had come down all this was to change dramatically. Truckloads of satellite equipment were sent from West Germany, but also farming equipment from the West all of a sudden was available alongside homegrown products. The transition from centrally planned socialist economy to free market was felt first-hand by Rainer Schulz, as sales of his employers company slumped and he was laid off. What he did then was turn his tumbling blocks into stepping stones. It was the second of July 1990 when my first company Antennen- & Satanlagenbau Rainer Schulz opened for business. In 2000 sat-

sourced individual components such as the tuner and a chipset from West Germany, but all the rest is proudly made in the GDR.
Rainer Schulz even built his own meter. Here he shows the
original device from 1988.
Berndt Rosenberger has been a satellite DXer for
just as long. Here he considers his options of how to convert a mast mounting system to make it fit to an actuator. A dish manufacturer has asked Rainer and Berndt to find a solution for that.

to a small motor the Ku band LNB can be skewed. On the second picture you can see the component before installation, and the third picture shows the control unit.

This is controlling the LNB,
this time for the C band: the motor (red) turns the LNB. Next picture shows the control unit.
C band reception with only a small
antenna? No problem, if you know how and where to mount the LNB. One antenna manufacturer has equipped a 1.2m dish with alternative rods that allows to arrange both the Ku band LNB in the focal point and the C band LNB outside the focal point using a rail system. Even the DiSEqC switch fits in. At our location this system allows reception of three C band satellites at 40 East, 5 West and 30.5 East, explains Berndt Rosenberger.
A look inside the AVCOM LNB: Only the crossshaped element in the background is rotated. Depending on the 45 turn either linear or circular signals can be received.
shop24 was established as a second string to Rainer Schulzes bow and in 2004 the registered name was changed to E-Commerce Schulz & Knott GbR (satshop24.de). Berndt Rosenberger used to work for Antennen- & Satanlagenbau R. Schulz from 1990 until his retirement. Before that his career had been similar to that of Rainer Schulz. He, too, built his first satellite antenna himself, even though he sourced his first satellite receiver from friends of a friends friend as was the case with so many things in former East Germany. What I did invent so to speak was a rather peculiar way of setting up polar mount antennas, Berndt Rosenberger remembers. We waited for a pitchblack night and then used a tube which we aligned exactly towards the polar star. This meant we had a precise northern alignment and this is how we then erected the antenna mast. With Berndt and Rainer in the background the business embarked on a route of steady success. The first few years were immensely successful. We were able to sell some 500 fully-fledged systems per annum, and we also installed most of them 136 TELE-satellite Global Digital TV Magazine 12-01/201 www.TELE-satellite.com 1
Another innovation of the two satellite experts: The original
LNB rail of this multi-LNB antenna did not have enough space to squeeze in another LNB for reception of HISPASAT at 30 West. But then again, who says you cant extend the rail? Right, but you have to take into account that an extended rail needs a modified shape. As you can see on the picture what they did was use a piece of empty pipe as dummy LNB and attached the HISPASAT LNB in an upward bend. While you cant receive every single transponder, most of them are still available, Berndt Rosenberger says.
ourselves, they remember the initial days of their cooperation. Starting in 1994 business slowed down and they shifted their focus on cable systems in turn. In 2003 they began experimenting with the C band and installed a 1.2m antenna with two LNBs: One for linear signals and the other for circular signals. Two years later the huge 3.66m antenna purchased from satellite wholesaler DOEBIS followed suit. With this new equipment they were able to experiment some more and aim for reception under extreme conditions as well. Of course this also allowed them to gain additional expertise. For C band reception we constructed a special skewing mechanism: Depending on the reception sample either circular or linear polarisation was received. This way a dielectric was not required any longer. For Ku band reception they have some innovations in store as well when it comes to extreme reception conditions: If you use a polar mount antenna this is of particular importance, as polarisations are not always set at a precise 90 angle, Berndt Rosenberger explains the reason behind.
Using the best LNBs, the most suitable receivers and their own inventions for LNB skewing they managed to receive signals from satellites that are far out of footprint at their location. In the meantime, they had worked up a solid reputation in the DXing scene and they still organise a DXer meeting every year. Last year a total of 300 DXers from all over Germany took part, Rainer Schulz who is also known as Ponny on the Internet remembers. Some participants even travelled from Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic or Hungary to be at our get-together, he adds. Anyone interested in attending next time should mark 11 June 2011 on their calendar. It will be a brilliant chance to have a chat with a top-notch DX professional. Rainer Schulz and Bernd Rosenberger are no longer involved in the day-to-day management of their business. I retired in 2009 and my son Carsten Schulz took over receiver and antenna construction as well as my share in the company. Rainer Schulzs daughter Daniela Knott is the managing director and reveals some inside information. We only sell to end
customers, with our top-selling product being the T90 multi-LNB antenna. Almost 90% of sales are generated with this product alone. Some 5% of sales are with the 1.2m antenna, Daniela Knott adds. Connecting rod motors required for rotating antenna systems also sell well. This product list alone is proof enough for the fact that special requirements are at the heart of the companys business. After all, large dishes as well as multiLNB antennas are only required by satellite enthusiasts looking for more than just your standard fare. For them the company also offers a wide range of accessories such as multi-switches required for simultaneous reception of more than one satellite position. Rainer Schulz and Berndt Rosenberger have chosen the right path and turned they hobby into their profession. They are rewarded not only with a flourishing business, but also with a reputation of being profound DXers willing to help and assist anybody who cares to ask. With their annual DXer meetings they spread their knowledge in the satellite community, which makes them a valuable asset.

The extremely low elevation of just 2.7 is most striking. This means the antenna is at an almost upright position and hardly points above the horizon. As layers close to the earths surface cause more attenuation this makes for very tricky reception, apart from a myriad of physical obstacles like trees which obstruct a clear view to the satellite.

Satellite Reception in Shanghai, China
Satellite Dishes in Shanghai

Shanghai is a city with a population of 20 million people and if you decide to take a walk one day and look around youll nd satellite dishes ranging in size from the newest 35cm DTH antennas to all the way up to extremely large 20-meter monstrosities. But lets not forget that ofcially satellite dishes are prohibited in China. Hong Bo, born and raised in Shanghai and also an enthusiastic HDTV satellite fan, took us on a small tour of Shanghais world of satellite antennas.
Shanghai
Hong Bo, who uses the nickname Homeboy in the Internet, rst took us southwest about 20 km from downtown Shanghai. The immense satellite antennas of Shanghais Xinzhuang satellite station are located right next to the RT market shopping center. Former US President Richard Nixon brought those two 20-meter dishes with him in 1972, explained Hong Bo who then conrmed that these two antennas are used by the Chinese military. But a number of smaller dish antennas are located alongside the two large
dishes. These are used to uplink Shanghais local TV channels to CHINASAT 6 at 115 east, explains Hong Bo. Using Shanghais elevated roadways that at many intersections tend to be stacked on top of each other, we continued our tour with a stop at one of Chinas most modern and sophisticated walled-in residential areas: Mandarine City in western Shanghai. Wang Yinchung is the technician in charge of the TV system and, not surprisingly, is also a satellite DXer. In his case he man-

aged to turn his hobby into his profession! Wang Yinchung explains to us, This residential complex is made up of about 50 apartment buildings and houses roughly 1500 families. Many of them are from Japan and Korea and naturally they want to be able to see TV from home. Wang Yinchung erected a collection of satellite antennas on top of one of the apartment buildings and installed all of the distribution components in
the elevator control room. Using original receivers from Japan and Korea (provider: Skylife), he takes all of the desired channels and routes them into the cable system of the apartment complex. This, of course, begs the question, what can an individual person do if they want to install a satellite system? Our satellite guide Hong Bo referred us to Hang Hao. He is one of those
satellite installers that theoretically doesnt exist yet is responsible for the endless number of satellite dishes that are installed on balconies and walls for renters and apartment occupants. But how do these people know who to contact if they want a dish installed? You wont find an ad for an installer in any magazine or newspaper or even in the Internet. That all happens by word of mouth, explains Hang Hao, A sat-
isfied customer will tell his friend and that person will tell another, and so on. We asked Hang Hao how he managed to get into this business: I installed my own first dish back in 2000. Back then it was a 60cm antenna for APSTAR 2A reception at 76.5 east. In the meantime, Hang Hao has become a full time installer. I install about 100 systems every month, that is, dish, LNB, receiver and mounting assembly.
The uplink dishes for
Shanghais local TV channels can be seen from the shopping malls parking lot.
Mandarine Citys
Entrance gate
He tells us that 90% of his customers opt for 60cm antennas while the remaining 10% choose 100 cm dishes. AGILA is the favorite for my mostly foreign customers since mostly English-language channels can be found there, says Hang Hao. If there arent any shops around where you can get satellite products, how does Hang Hao get his hands on the materials he needs? He tells us that he buys them directly from the manufacturers that are for the most part in Shenzhen in Chinas south. But this only works for those who buy in large quantities like Hang Hao.
