www.TELE-audiovision.com/13/09/deviser

Meine Erwartungen waren groß, als Deviser sein neues Flaggschiff S7000 für den TELE-audiovisions Test zusandte. Es handelt sich um ein Messgerät, das praktisch alle Normen kombiniert und für die Satellitennormen DVB-S/S2, für die Kabelnorm DVB-C sowie für alle gängigen terrestrischen Normen wie DVB-T/T2/H, ATSC, DTMB und schließlich auch noch für die alten analogen Signale geeignet ist.

20 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

Wie üblich benutze ich das zu testenden Gerät erst eine Zeit lang, ohne mich um den Testbericht zu kümmern, denn ich möchte einfach praktische Erfahrung mit dem Gerät sammeln. Außerdem packe ich Geräte gerne sofort aus und probiere sie aus, ohne vorher das Handbuch zu lesen. Dies macht einfach Spaß und außerdem gibt es gleich ein Gefühl, wie leicht man sich in die Benutzung eines Gerätes einarbeiten kann. Gleich vorneweg: das S7000 hat mich fast sprachlos gemacht. Dieses unglaubliche Gerät erlaubt nicht nur die üblichen Messungen, wie wir es im oberen Marktsegment für Profi-Messgeräte finden, sondern es integriert auch einen kompletten Transportstream-Analysator, der Aufschluss über den ge-

Zeitraum, wodurch zum Beispiel intermittierende Fehler aufgezeigt werden können. Weiterhin erleichtert diese Darstellung das Ausrichten von Antennen ungemein, besonders bei Drehanlagen. Und siehe da: es freut mich sehr, diese Funktion endlich im S7000 wieder zu finden. Dass Messungen wie Echo, Barscan, Schräglage, Konstellations-Diagramm, Echtzeit-Spektrum Analyse, usw. vorhanden sind wundert bei diesem Supergerät schon gar nicht mehr. Die Bedienung des S7000 ist kinderleicht und das Handbuch musste ich nur deshalb nachträglich noch lesen, um absolut sicher zu sein, nicht samten Inhalt des empfangenen Transponders gibt. Alle Parameter können angezeigt werden – sowas kannte ich sonst nur auf dem Computer mit Hilfe von spezieller Software. Doch dies ist nicht alles. Erinnern Sie sich an die TELE-audiovisions Ausgaben 12-01/2012 und 02-03/2012? Dort beschrieb ich meine Idee zur Implementierung eines Wasserfall-Diagramms zur kontinuierlichen Darstellung des Spektrums für Satelliten-Messgeräte. Dies ermöglicht die Darstellung des Spektrums über einen irgendeine Funktion verpasst zu haben. Eine weitere Überraschung im Test kam von der mitgelieferten CD. Die enthaltene Software erlaubt nicht nur die komfortable Verwaltung der Kanal- und Transponder-Listen, Logger-Dateien und Screenshots., sondern das komplette Messgerät kann auch noch vollständig ferngesteuert werden. Dies ermöglicht Ferndiagnosen: man stellt das Messgerät beim Kunden auf und greift über das Internet auf dieses zu. Oder man kann sogar nur mit dem Handy aufs Dach steigen, während das Messgerät im Wohnzimmer verbleibt. Insgesamt bin ich verblüfft über den Deviser 22 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

S7000. Noch nie habe ich ein so vollständiges und funktionsreiches Messgerät testen können. Weil ein umfangreicher Test von diesem unglaublich vielfältigen Messgerät den Umfang eines normalen Testberichts sprengt haben wir den Test in zwei Artikel aufgeteilt. Lesen Sie in diesem ersten Bericht die detaillierte Vorstellung des Funktionsumfangs des Deviser S7000. In der nächsten Ausgabe der TELE-audiovision berichten wir über unsere Praxis-Tests, in welchen der S7000 sich im harten Ein-

satz zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit bewährt hat. Deviser wurde 1990 gegründet und befindet sich in Tianjin im Nordosten von China, nicht weit von Beijing. Deviser entwickelt Messgeräte für TV und Radio und ist in China Marktführer in diesem Bereich und auf dem besten Wege, auch international groß zu werden. Deviser hat als erster chinesischer Hersteller von Messgeräten die ISO9001 Zertifizierung erhalten. In TELE-audiovision hatten wir zuerst über Deviser in Ausgabe 06-07/2011 berichtet

und erst kürzlich wieder in Ausgabe 07-08/2013, nachdem Deviser seine brandneuen riesigen Produktionshallen und Geschäftsräume bezogen hatte. Der Deviser TV Analyser S7000 erreichte unser Testzentrum in einer Kartonverpackung, in welcher der eigentliche Produktkarton verpackt war. In diesem fanden wir den ordentlich geschützten S7000 in einer Soft-Tragetasche aus strapazierbarem Nylon. In einem herausziehbaren Kartonfach befand sich das weitere Zubehör: - Netzladegerät (12V/5A) - 12V Kfz Ladegerät - Ersatz-Trageschlaufe für die Transporttasche Zwei F-Steckadapter (Male-Male) - GPS-Empfangsantenne mit USB Schnittstelle - Mini-CD mit Handbuch im PDF Format und der Steuersoftware - Garantiekarte Der Bildschirm des Geräts ist überraschend groß, handelt es sich doch immerhin um einen 7“ TFT Monitor – diese Bildschirmgröße ist von den Android Tablets bekannt. Das Gerät ist relativ leicht und dank der GummiUmmantelung sicher in den Händen zu halten. Mit einem Gewicht von 3.4 Kg ist auch ein längerer Arbeitstag mit dem S7000 möglich. Die Tragetasche ist hilfreich. Anders als bei so manch anderem Gerät möchte man die Tasche nicht abziehen, denn sie bietet trotz gutem Schutz weiterhin Zugriff auf alle Buchsen des Gerätes. Praktisch ist auch der Umstand, dass die Tasche nach oben in drei Segmenten geöffnet wird. So kann man das Messgerät auch leicht geneigt auf den Tisch stellen, in dem man die drei Segmente zu einem Dreieck faltet, was die Arbeit enorm erleichtet, besonders wenn man Geräte gewohnt ist, die entweder auf den Tisch gelegt werden müssen oder senkrecht gestellt werden: in beiden Fällen lassen

sich die Geräte schlecht bedienen und der Bildschirm lässt sich nicht gut ablesen. Ein Lob schon hier an Deviser für die hervorragende Lösung, das Gerät auch geneigt aufstellen zu können. Die Vorderseite des S7000 bezeugt die langjährige Erfahrung von Deviser, wenn es um Messgeräte für Profis geht. Hier steht die Ergonomie im Vordergrund und tatsächlich findet man sich sofort zurecht: der schon genannte TFT Bildschirm mit seiner großen Diagonale von 7“ und einer Auflösung von 800x480 Pixel bietet genügend Fläche, um alle Informationen übersichtlich darzustellen. Vorbei ist die Zeit in, welcher man zwischen unzähligen grob-aufgelösten Bildschirmen schalten musste, um die wichtigsten Parameter angezeigt zu bekommen. Links vom mittig platziertem Bildschirm ist die Taste, um das Geräte einund auszuschalten. Unter dieser Taste befinden sich 3 LEDs, die den Akku-Zustand anzeigen (Akku wird geladen, Gerät ist ein/aus-geschaltet und Akku ist entladen). Rechts vom Bildschirm befinden sich 6 Funktionstasten. Deren Funktion wird im Bildschirm an entsprechender Stelle angezeigt und variiert, je nachdem welches Menü gerade aktiv ist. Unter dem Bildschirm gibt es weitere drei Tastengruppen: die linke Tastengruppe enthält 6 jederzeit zugängliche Funktionstasten (TV, HOME, EXPLORER, CH INFO, SETUP und SAVE), die mittige Tastengruppe besteht aus einem alphanumerischen Tastenfeld zur Frequenzund Texteingabe mittels 12 Tasten, und schließlich die rechte Tastengruppe mit den Pfeiltasten sowie einer OKTaste zur Bestätigung und der ESC- und TAB-Taste. Die relativ große Anzahl von Tasten erleichtert die Bedienung ungemein, denn sämtliche Tasten sind nur einmalig belegt und erfordern keine umständliche Umschaltung, wie es bei mehrfach belegten

www.TELE-audiovision.com — 09-10/2013 — TELE-audiovision International — 全球发行量最大的数字电视杂志

Tasten der Fall ist. Außerdem begrüßen wir ausdrücklich die Möglichkeit, Frequenzen direkt eingeben zu können. Auf der Oberseite des S7000 befindet sich der HFEingang. Dieser ist als Buch-

se für F-Stecker konzipiert; zwei solcher Male-Male Stecker werden mitgeliefert. Natürlich kann man auch andere Stecker-Typen benutzen, zum Beispiel um eine gewöhnliche Antennenbuch-

se für CATV zur Verfügung zu haben. Leider fehlt dem S7000 als Zubehör ein Stecker-Satz, doch jeder Praxis-Techniker wird die verschiedenen Stecker sowieso schon zur Verfügung haben. Auf der linken Seite befindet sich der Auslass des Lüfters und die Tragetasche besitzt an entsprechender Stelle eine grobe Masche, damit das Gerät ohne Bedenken auch in der Tragetasche betrieben und vor allem auch geladen werden kann. Diese Details zeugen von der Detailversessenheit des Herstellers. Rechts befinden sich die

24 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

weiteren Anschlüsse: USB für die GPS-Antenne und USB-Speicher, eine RJ-45 Buchse sowie der Eingang für das Netzteil. Weiter oben befindet sich der HDMI-Ausgang, um den Bildschirm auch auf externen Bildschirmen darzustellen, was zum Beispiel für Schulungen sehr nützlich ist. Die Tragetasche hat entsprechende Klappen, um die Eingänge zu schützen. Diese sind mit einem Klettverschluss versehen. Auf der Rückseite des Gerätes befindet sich der Zugang zum Akku, der vom Benutzer austauschbar ist, sowie ein weiterer Höhe-

punkt dieses Profi-Messgerätes: ein ASI Ein- und Ausgang; sehr außergewöhnlich und ganz hervorragend zur Messung echter professioneller Anlagen. Selbst ein Common Interface (CI) ist vorhanden, um mittels geeignetem CAM verschlüsselte Sender analysieren zu können.Der eingebaute

Lautsprecher ist ebenfalls an der Rückseite montiert. Das Gehäuse besteht vorne aus hellem Plastik, das sich jedoch keineswegs billig anfühlt. Ganz im Gegenteil wirkt das Messgerät äußerst solide und fest. Das Gehäuse verzieht sich nicht, wenn man es drückt, die Seitenteile und das Rückteil sind me-

tallisch. Ein hellblauer Gummischutz um das Gehäuse herum schützt das Gerät weiterhin gegen Stöße oder falls es mal auf den Boden fallen sollte. Während des Tests musste ich mir wirklich keine Sorgen um den S7000 machen und konnte mich so auf die Arbeit konzentrieren, statt ständig auf das Gerät

26 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

aufpassen zu müssen. Der S7000 benötigt nach dem Einschalten nur 18 Sekunden, bis er betriebsbereit ist. Es erscheint das Hauptmenü, in welchem mit Hilfe der seitlichen Menütasten zwischen dem SAT und CATV/terrestrischem TV Modus umgeschaltet werden kann. Als Option kann auch

expert die IPTV Option hinzugekauft werden, wodurch auch IPTV im Netzwerk gemessen und analysiert werden kann. Diese Option war in unserem Testgerät nicht vorhanden. Der S7000 wird mit Transponder-Listen sämtlicher Satelliten ausgeliefert und auch für CATV und terrestrisches Fernsehen sind die gängigen Frequenz-Tabellen vorgespeichert. Weiterhin erlaubt das Messgerät die Verwaltung verschiedener Kanallisten, die durch einen automatischen Suchlauf erstellt werden, aber auch manuell editiert und verwaltet werden können. Es ist wichtig, an dieser Stelle darauf hinzuweisen, dass das S7000 ein Signal ungewöhnlich schnell analysieren kann und die entsprechenden Empfangsparameter automatisch einstellt. Daher habe ich mir beim S7000 schnell angewöhnt, im SAT-Modus einfach nur im Echtzeit-Spektrum den gewünschten Transponder anzufahren und diesen dann direkt zu messen. Innerhalb 1-3 Sekunden ist das Signal korrekt eingerastet, auch bei ungewöhnlichen Symbol Raten. Ich kenne kein anderes Gerät, dass dies so schnell bewerkstelligen kann und natürlich schlägt das DXer Herz höher, denn noch nie konnte ich so schnell Feeds entdecken… Der S7000 trägt nicht aus Zufall die Bezeichnung „TV Analyser“ im Namen. In der Tat enthält dieses Messgerät einen kompletten Transportstream Analysator, der es in sich hat. Es kann nicht nur MPEG2 und MPEG4 Video samt Audio dargestellt werden (analoges Video und Audio übrigens auch), sondern man kann sämtliche Parameter und PIDs einsehen. Hinzu kommen mächtige Funktionen zur vollständigen Analyse und Messung des Transport Streams. Solche Funktionen habe ich bisher nicht in Messgeräten dieser Preisklasse gefunden. Absolut genial auch die Möglichkeit, den empfange-

nen Transportstream gleich auf einen USB Speicher aufzunehmen, um diesen später im Büro genauer zu analysieren oder der Dokumentation hinzuzufügen. Ich kann es mir nicht verkneifen an dieser Stelle auch meine Meinung als passionierter Satelliten DXer preiszugeben: Feedhunting ist mit diesem Gerät ein Kinderspiel! Noch nie war es so einfach, im Echtzeit-Spektrum die für Feeds typischen Transponder-Spitzen zu wählen (sie sind viel schmaler als normale Transponder und haben meist auch eine geringere Leistung) und auf die TV-Taste zu drücken. In Sekunden ermittelt der S7000 die Empfangsparameter automatisch und ermöglicht gleichzeitig eine vollständige Analyse des empfangenen Transportstreams an. Soweit die Vorstellung der Funktionen des Deviser S7000. Es wird deutlich, dass es sich beim S7000 nicht um ein normales kombiniertes Messgerät für Sat, CATV und terrestrisches TV handelt, sondern wirklich um einen umfassenden TV Analysator, der alle denkbaren Messungen und Signal-Analysen ermöglicht und dabei trotzdem klein und leicht ist, einen großen hochauflösenden Bildschirm bietet und obendrein bis zu 5 Stunden Autonomie gewährt.

Im 2. Teil dieses Berichts in der folgenden Ausgabe der TELE-audiovision geht es um die Ergebnisse unseres Praxistest. Der S7000 mußte gegen unsere TELE-audiovisions Referenzgeräte der Oberliga antreten, um die Messgenauigkeit zu prüfen. Außerdem zeigen wir im 2. Teil, wie dieses außergewöhnliche Messgerät über das Netzwerk vom PC gesteuert werden kann und welche Hacks uns dazu eingefallen sind. Um es vorwegzunehmen: der Praxistest wurde mit Bravour bestanden!

Satelliten Modus 1. Das Hauptmenü des S7000 wirkt aufgeräumt. Rechts wählt man mittels der Funktionstasten den Modus: Kabel & Terrestrisch oder SAT (optional auch IPTV). Es kann an dieser Stelle auch der Dateimanager aufgerufen werden. Mit den Pfeil-Tasten wechselt man zwischen Messung, Konstellations-Diagramm, Spektrum Analysator, Sat-Finder und DiSEqC. 2. Ein Druck auf die SETUP-Taste ruft automatisch die korrekte LNB Konfigurations-Seite auf. 3, 4, 5, 6. In nur 2-3 Sekunden rastet das Signal ein und alle Empfangsparameter werden angezeigt. Der Bildschirm mit den Messungen zeigt bei digitalen Signalen erwartungsgemäß die Leistung, MER und BER an, wobei BER in diesem Fall getrennt als CBER und LBER angezeigt wird. BER (Bit Error Rate) zeigt das Bitfehlerverhältnis an, also die Anzahl der fehlerhaften Bits im Vergleich zu den im selben Zeitintervall insgesamt empfangenen Bits. Da die empfangenen Bits jedoch noch von einer Fehlerkorrektur aufgearbeitet werden zeigen professionelle Messgeräte die Bitfehlerrate vor und nach der Fehlerkorrektur an. Bei den verschiedenen Modulationen kommen verschiedene Fehlerkorrektur-Algorithmen zum Einsatz - unsere Modulations-Tabelle fasst die wichtigsten Details zusammen.

Entsprechend zeigt der S7000 daher die BER Messung von DVB-S Signalen in QPSK Modulation in CBER (Channel Bit Error Rate – vor der Fehlerkorrektur) und VBER (Viterbi Bit Error Rate – nach der Viterbi Fehlerkorrektur) an. Bei DVB-S2 Signalen mit 8PSK Modulation wird BER als CBER und als LBER angezeigt, da hier die LPDC+BCH Fehlerkorrektur angewendet wird. Es ist sehr hilfreich, dass die BER-Messung auf diese Weise dargestellt wird, denn zum einen möchte man natürlich ein möglichst fehlerfreies Signal empfangen, doch anderseits gilt es zu garantieren, dass eventuelle Fehler von der Fehlerkorrektur vollständig korrigiert werden. Die erste Funktionstaste ist mit VIEW belegt. Hier zeigt Deviser, dass diese Geräte von Technikern für Techniker entwickelt wurde, denn mit dieser Taste kann man zyklisch zwischen den Messungen schalten, wobei die jeweils gewählte Messung im oberen Bildschirmbereich als Balkengrafik und Zahlenwert groß angezeigt wird. So kann man auch im Außeneinsatz an der Antenne die gewünschte Messung aus der Entfernung gut ablesen. Gut gefallen haben auch weitere kleine Details, wie zum Beispiel dass der S7000 die Transponder-Frequenz simultan als SAT Zwischenfrequenz (SAT-IF) und als Transponder-Frequenz anzeigt. So entfällt das mühsame Umrechnen der Frequenz (z.B. muss man im Ku-Band bei Universal-LNBs so umrechnen: bis 11700MHz ist die ZF = Transponder-Frequenz – 9875 MHz, ab 11700MHz ist die ZF = Transponder-Frequenz – 10600 MHz). Erwähnenswert ist auch die Anzeige der Transponder-Bandbreite.

7. Ohne Umweg gelangt man in das Konstellations-Diagramm. Deviser nutzt hier souverän die hohe Auflösung des Bildschirms und bietet daher eine gute Hilfe Probleme zu diagnostizieren, die von fehlerhaften Komponenten hervorgerufen werden. 8. Weiter geht es in den Spektrum Analysator Modus. Zuerst fällt positiv auf, dass das Spektrum auch bei einer maximalen Spanne von 1200 MHz in Echtzeit angezeigt wird. Echtzeit bedeutet hier, dass sich das Spektrum wirklich mehrere Male pro Sekunde erneuert. Damit kann man sofort erkennen, wie man zum Beispiel eine Antenne justieren muss, um einen maximalen Empfang zu bekommen. Weiterhin gefällt das Spektrum dank seiner hohen Auflösung. Selbst eng benachbarte Transponder mit geringer Bandbreite werden klar und deutlich aufgelöst. 9. Die Darstellung des Spektrums kann auf der zweiten Ebene der Funktionstasten mit Hilfe der DISPLAY Funktion umgeschaltet werden. Statt das Spektrum als Linie darzustellen, kann es auch als gefüllte Fläche angezeigt werden. 10. Ein weiterer Druck auf die DISPLAY Funktionstaste und das Spektrum wird als Wasserfall -Diagramm dargestellt. Deutlich lassen sich die Transponder über einen Zeitraum verfolgen und weil es möglich ist, in diesem Darstellungs-Modus auch parallel DiSEqC-1.2 Steuerbefehle zu senden, ist das Einrichten von motorisierten Antennen plötzlich ein Kinderspiel. Wer mehr über die Benutzung eines Wasserfall Diagramms erfahren möchte sei auf meine Berichte in den TELE-audiovision-Ausgaben 12-01/2012 und 02-03/2012 hingewiesen. 11. Dass Deviser sich wirklich Gedanken gemacht hat und

32 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

das Wasserfall-Diagramm nicht einfach lieblos implementiert hat macht sich durch erneuter Auswahl der DISPLAY Funktionstaste bemerkbar. Genau wie in meiner DemonstrationsSoftware wird das Spektrum nun parallel zum WasserfallDiagramm angezeigt. So kann man deutlich die Transponder im Spektrum erkennen und mit Hilfe des obligatorischen Markers (dieser steht natürlich in allen Anzeige-Modi zur Verfügung) den Pegel messen, während das Wasserfall-Diagramm gleichzeitig die Evolution des Signals dokumentiert. Die sonst übliche Spitzenhalte-Funktion (die selbst verständlich weiterhin zur Verfügung steht) wird dank Wasserfall-Diagramm wohl nur noch selten benutzt werden. 12. Aktiviert man die Funktionstaste mit der Option DRIVE, dann kann mit den Auf/Ab-Tasten zwischen dem DiSEqC-1.2 Modus MOVE und STEP umgeschaltet werden, wobei die Links/RechtsTasten den Motor entsprechend bewegen. Das Spektrum wird dabei weiterhin in Echtzeit bewegt und dank des Wasserfall-Diagramms kann man so eindeutig die bestmögliche Ausrichtung ermitteln. Außerdem kann man so erkennen, welche und wie viele Satelliten man zwischen den Ost/West-Limits der Antenne empfangen kann. Dazu fährt man die Antenne einfach von Osten nach Westen (oder umgekehrt) und anhand des Wasserfall-Diagramms kann man klar die einzelnen Satelliten erkennen und es ist durchaus möglich, diese mit etwas Erfahrung auch zu identifizieren. 13. Der S7000 unterstützt sämtliche DiSEqC und Einkabel SCR Normen mit einem eigenen DiSEqC-Menu. Dieses kann im Hauptmenü ausgewählt werden oder jederzeit mit Hilfe der Funktionstasten.

14. Es wird zwischen SaTCR (SCR – Single Cable Routing) und DiSEqC umgeschaltet. Im SCR-Modus können die einzelnen Frequenz-Fenster der Antennendosen flexibel editiert werden, so dass der S7000 mit praktisch allen SCR-Schaltern harmoniert. 15. Im DiSEqC-Modus können DiSEqC 1.0 und 1.1 Multischalter (für bis zu 4 oder 16 LNBEingange) angesteuert werden sowie DiSEqC 1.2 Positionierer. Außerdem können auch simple Tonburst-Schalter angesprochen werden. 16. Die Sat-Finder Funktion zeigt den Signalpegel ausgewählter Transponder des aktiven Satelliten an. Wahlweise kann ein Signalton zugeschaltet werden, um die Antenne auch ohne Blick zum Messgerät justieren zu können. Der Satellit kann mit den Pfeil-Tasten gewechselt werden, ohne dass dieser Bildschirm verlassen werden muss. Das Besondere dieser Funktion ist jedoch die automatische Berechnung des Azimut, der Elevation und des Skew des LNB. Diese Daten werden dank der GPS-Antenne ermittelt und die aktuelle Position wird natürlich auch angezeigt. Sollte es aus irgendeinem Grund nicht möglich sein, die geografische Position per GPS zu ermitteln, kann diese selbstverständlich auch manuell eingegeben werden. Dies mag auf dem ersten Blick nicht besonders wichtig erscheinen, werden die Antennen doch stets im Freien montiert. Doch was ist, wenn der Installateure die Antenne schon in der eigenen Werkstatt vorjustieren möchte, damit diese nur noch schnell beim Kunden aufgebaut werden muss? Dann kann es sehr wohl praktisch sein, die Position des Kunden vorab manuell einzugeben. 17, 18, 19. Der S7000 ist in der Lage, Empfangsparameter wie Symbol Rate, FEC und Modulation automatisch zu erkennen. Viele Messgeräte scheitern an dieser scheinbar einfachen Aufgabund benötigen daher stets aktuelle und speziell für den Einsatz eingerichtete Kanallisten. Nicht so der Deviser S7000: das Gerät erkennt diese Parameter selbstständig und in extrem kurzer Zeit. Tatsächlich kann man mit dem Marker einen beliebigen Transponder anfahren (oder die Frequenz auch direkt eingeben) und im Messmodus ermittelt der S7000 sofort in 1-3 Sekunden sämtliche Empfangsparameter und zeigt simultan auch gleich die Messwerte an. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. Der S7000 kann selbstverständlich auch Audio und Video abspielen und enthält entsprechende Decoder für analoge und digitale Signale in MPEG2 und MPEG4. Jederzeit kann diese Betriebsart mit Hilfe der TV-Taste aufgerufen werden. Ist das Signal noch nicht eingerastet, weil man zum Beispiel gerade erst im Spektrum-Modus den Marker auf einen Transponder bewegt hat, ermittelt das Mess-

34 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

gerät die entsprechenden Empfangsparameter selbstständig - genau wie im Mess-Modus. In nur wenigen Sekunden wird das Live-Bild unverschlüsselter Sender angezeigt und man kann in der Service-Liste des Transponders schnell zwischen den verschiedenen Kanälen wechseln, denn der S7000 glänzt mit Umschaltzeiten von 1-3 Sekunden, je nach Signalart und Modulation. 25. Der Deviser S7000 stellt in diesem Modus sogar einen kompletten Transportstream Analyzer zur Verfügung.-Diese Funktionen zielen besonders auf Techniker, die für Kopfstationen, Empfangsund Sendeanlagen verantwortlich sind. Alle Anaylzer Funktionen stehen übrigens für jeden empfangenen Transportstream zur Verfügung, egal ob dieser von den eingebauten DVB-S/ S2, DVB-C, DVB-T/H Tunern stammt, vom ASI-Eingang oder z.B. einer externen Transportstream-Datei. Das erste Bild zeigt die Hauptdaten des Transportstreams. Die Bandbreite wird angezeigt sowie NIT Informationen und grundlegende statistische Angaben zum Stream. 26. Im zweiten Bildschirm, EVENT INFO, werden weitere Informationen zur Qualität des Transportstream angezeigt. 27. Der dritte Bildschirm, PID VIEW, zeigt die Belegung der verschiedenen PIDs an. Diese Daten sind auch für Installateure wichtig, denn sie können bei der Einrichtung von kleineren Kopfstationen und IPTV-Servern wichtige Rückschlüsse auf Fehler liefern, zum Beispiel wenn versehentlich falsche PIDs konfiguriert wurden. 28. Der vierte Bildschirm, Prog Graph, zeigt Details zum angewählten Kanal innerhalb des Transportstreams an. Diese Parameter geben wichtige Aufschlüsse auf die Auflösung und vor allem die genutzten CODECS. Beschwert sich ein Kunde zum Beispiel, dass ein bestimmter Kanal nicht vom Receiver wiedergegeben werden kann, dann kann der Grund darin liegen, dass dieser Kanal mit von ProfiEquipment genutzten 4:2:2 Chroma kodiert ist, statt mit dem für handelsübliche Receiver verwendeten 4:2:0 Chroma.

36 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

29. Der fünfte Bildschirm beinhaltet eine PCR Messung. PCR steht für Program Clock References und dient dazu, die Laufzeitverschiebungen zwischen dem empfangenen Signal und dem Taktgeber des Empfängers (27MHz) zu ermitteln. Dazu wird im Transportstream periodisch ein PCR abgelegt. Der Deviser S7000 liest diesen PCR aus und zeigt an, wie genau der interne 27MHz Taktgeber mit dem PCRSignal synchronisiert ist. Die Abweichung sollte gemäß der ursprünglichen Norm unter +/500ns liegen. Da die PCR Bytes selbst mit einem 27MHz Taktgeber erzeugt werden und in den Transportstream eingebettet werden ist die Auflösung auf 37 ns beschränkt. Die in der oberen Grafik angezeigte Genauigkeit zeigt die Taktfehler innerhalb des Multiplexers an, nicht jedoch eventuelle Laufzeitverschiebungen, die durch das Netzwerk erzeugt wurden. Wie man sehen kann wird ein perfekt synchronisierter Transportstream empfangen, was darauf hindeutet, dass in der Kopfstation keine Fehler in den Taktgebern der verschiedenen Multiplexer und Modulatoren vorlagen. Wenn die Verzögerungen grösser als 500 ns sind, dann kann es beim Empfänger zu Problemen kommen. In der unteren Grafik wird der zeitliche Abstand zwischen den PCR-Bytes dargestellt. Laufzeitverschiebungen die durch das Netzwerk erzeugt wurden können so abgeleitet werden. Auch hier ist alles im grünen Bereich. Obwohl kleine Verzögerungen sichtbar sind haben diese noch keinen Einfluss auf die Empfangsqualität. Es handelt sich somit um eine für die Wartung von Kopfstationen und Sendeanstalten enorm wichtige Messung. 30. Die PROG LIST zeigt die Kanäle des Providers an. Diese Informationen, sofern sie denn vom Provider korrekt in die NIT eingegeben werd, ermöglichen den Receivern einen schnelleren Kanalsuchlauf, da so bekannte Transponder nicht mehr extra gescannt werden müssen. Leider halten sich viele Broadcaster nicht an die Normen und schreiben zu oft keine korrekte NIT Information in den Stream. So kommt es, dass ein Transponder den falschen oder gar keinen Satellitennamen anzeigt. Oftmals sind die Namen des Satelliten, Bouquet, usw. auch mit Schreibfehler versehen oder benutzen eine nicht einheitliche Groß/Klein-Schreibung. Hier sollte man den verantwortlichen Technikern unbedingt einen S7000 zur Kontrolle empfehlen! 31, 32, 33, 34. Der siebte Menüpunkt PSI/SI erlaubt das Navigieren innerhalb der kompletten TS Tabelle. Sämtliche Daten können so bequem analysiert werden, PAT, PMT, CAT, NIT, SDT, TDT und MIP. Mit den Pfeil-Tasten navigiert man innerhalb der einzelnen Zweige der Tabelle und bekommt so Aufschluss zu jedem kleinsten Detail – eine wertvolle Hilfe, wenn man mit Multiplexern arbeitet und sicher gehen will, ob alle Parameter auch korrekt konfiguriert wurden.

35, 36. Der achte Menüpunkt des Transportstream Analysators ist ein kleiner Höhepunkt des S7000: hier können einzelne Pakete des Transportstreams gespeichert und dargestellt werden. Diese Datenpakete können nach der Aufzeichnung Byte-weise dargestellt werden 37. Im letzten Menüpunkt können die Transportstream Empfangsparamater abgelesen und editiert werden. So können verschiedene Situationen simuliert werden, bzw der S7000 kann wie entsprechende Empfangsgeräte konfiguriert werden. Mir ist kein anderes Messgerät bekannt, dass diese Möglichkeiten bietet. 38, 39. Steckt man einen USBSpeicher an den S7000, ist es im Transportstream Analysator Modus möglich, den Transportstream aufzuzeichnen. Auf dem USB-Speicher werden gewöhnliche *.TS Dateien erzeugt, die vielen Programmen auf dem PC verarbeitet werden können, zum Beispiel mit TS Reader, VLC oder TransEdit. Natürlich können aufgezeichnete Transportstreams auch am S7000 wiedergegeben werden. In diesem Fall stehen alle hier gelisteten Analyse-Tools zur Verfügung, man kann also auch am Receiver oder Computer einen Transport Stream aufzeichnen und diesen dann mit dem S7000 analysieren. 40. Mit der Speicher-Taste kann jeder gerade angezeigte Bildschirm des S7000 als JPG-Datei im internen Speicher aufgezeichnet werden. Befindet man sich in einem der verschiedenen Mess-Modi fragt das Messgerät, ob man den Bildschirm oder die angezeigten Daten speichern will. Wählt man letzteres kann man die Daten offline am PC wieder aufrufen und nach Wunsch anzeigen und bearbeiten, zum Beispiel mit dem Marker. Die so im Messgerät gespeicherten Daten lassen sich mit dem Dateimanager, der aus dem Hauptmenü aufgerufen wird, darstellen, löschen, editieren oder auf einen USB-Speicher umkopieren. 41. Der jeweils aktive Transponder kann in einem speziellen Bildschirm zur Kanal-Konfiguration editiert und gespeichert werden. So kann die Kanalliste auch am S7000 gepflegt und aktualisiert werden. Dies erfolgt recht komfortabel, so dass man nicht unbedingt den auf mitgelieferten CD befindlichen Settings-Editor benötigt. 42. Zurück im KonfigurationsMenü öffnet der Menüpunkt TS INTERFACE die Möglichkeit, den ASI Eingang und ASI Ausgang zu aktivieren. So kann man den empfangenen Transponder an weitere Geräte streamen oder natürlich den ASI-Stream anderer Geräte mit dem S7000 und insbesondere seines Transportstream Analyzers untersuchen. 43. Das Konfigurations-Menü ist in fünf Abschnitte geteilt: ABOUT, GENERAL, MEASURE, CHANNEL und INTF. Im Ersten Abschnitt werden verschiedene Informationen zum Messgerät angezeigt, zum Beispiel die Versions-Nummern der verschiedenen Module.

www.TELE-audiovision.com — 09-10/2013 — TELE-audiovision International — 全球发行量最大的数字电视杂志

44. Im zweiten generischen Abschnitt kann man den NetzwerkAnschluss konfigurieren 45, 46. Großartig: mit dem PingBefehl kann man die Netzwerkverbindung testen. Dies alleine ist schon für sich sehr nützlich, zum Beispiel wenn man als Installateur einen sogenannten Triple Play CATV Anschluss betreut und neben dem analogen und digitalen CATV auch die Internet-Verbindung überprüfen muss. 47. Bildschirm und Stromverbrauch können konfiguriert werden, zum Beispiel ob sich das Gerät nach einer bestimmten Zeit selbstständig ausschalten soll, wenn keine Taste gedrückt wurde.

38 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

48. Das Datum und die Uhrzeit können gesetzt werden 49. Verschiedene Skins können gewählt werden. 50. Natürlich können auch verschiedene Menüsprachen gewählt werden. 51. Interessant ist der Menüpunkt OPERATOR, in welchem sich verschiedene Techniker anmelden können und auch der Firmenname hinterlegt wird. Dies ermöglicht eine geteilte Nutzung des Messgerätes, wobei sichergestellt wird, wer für eine bestimmte Messung verantwortlich war. 52. Rückholung der Werkseinstellung des Messgerätes

53. Im Menüpunkt „HUM“ kann der Anwender angeben, ob sein Stromnetz mit 50 Hz oder 60 Hz betrieben wird. Die entsprechende Messung kann so Brummstörungen korrekt erkennen und anzeigen. 54. Unter „LEVEL UNIT“ kann die gewünschte Einheit für Pegel/ Leistungs-Messungen gewählt werden. Üblich sind dBµV, doch es ist möglich die Messwerte auch in dBmV oder dBm anzuzeigen. Weiterhin kann man die Messwerte innerhalb -3.0 dB bis +3.0 dB generell verschieben, um den S7000 mit anderen Messgeräten abzugleichen. 55. „TP COMPENSATION“ erlaubt es dem Anwender, zwei weitere Kompensations-Werte einzugeben. Das erste Feld dient dazu, einen allgemeinen dB-Wert einzugeben, der zum gemessenen Signal addiert wird. Im zweiten Feld kann man einen weiteren dB-Wert eingeben, der ebenfalls zum Signal addiert wird, jedoch zur Kompensation der Sonde gedacht ist. Beide Felder können nur mit positiven dB-Werten ausgefüllt werden (0 dB bis 40.0 dB). Dies ist immer dann sinnvoll, wenn zum Beispiel verschiedene Kabel oder Adapter zwischen dem S7000 und der Antennen-

40 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

buchse genutzt werden, die unterschiedliche Dämpfungen haben. Es ist so möglich, anhand einer Tabelle die Dämpfung der verschiedenen Kabel zu kompensieren. So wird auch der Sinn des ersten Feldes deutlich: hier kann man die Kompensation des Messgerätes oder anderen passiven oder aktiven Elementen im Netzwerk (z.B. Multischalter, Verstärker oder Filter) eintragen, um sicherzustellen, dass verschiedene Geräte die exakt gleichen Messwerte darstellen. 56. Wahl der PID Zahlendarstellung im Transportstream Analysator. Oft wird die dezimale Darstellung gewählt, aber ich bin die hexadezimale Schreibweise gewohnt, die den Vorteil hat, dass alle Bytes unabhängig von deren Wert immer genau zwei Stellen haben. 57. Da der S7000 sowohl ATSC als auch DVB unterstützt kann man im entsprechenden Untermenü den gewünschten Modus wählen. Dies hat jedoch nur Einfluss auf den Transportstream Analysator, der den empfangenen Stream entsprechend anzeigt. Tatsächlich kann man hier wenig falsch machen, denn der S7000 ermittelt die Empfangsparameter automatisch,

auch wenn man diese absichtlich falsch vordefiniert. 58. Im letzten Untermenü kann schließlich die Norm für analoge Signale gewählt werden. Es werden alle gängigen Normen unterstützt: PAL_BG, PAL_I, PAL_M, PAL_N, PAL_DK, NTSC_M, NTSC_N, NTSC_433, SECAM_BG, SECAM_DK und SECAM_L – jeweils mit 50 Hz oder 60 Hz. Keine Frage, mit diesem Messgerät ist man weltweit immer in der Lage beliebige TV-Signale zu messen. 59. Ebenfalls ein Pluspunkt: Kanallisten können nicht nur mit dem auf der CD Befindlichen Editor erstellt werden, sondern hier direkt im Gerät. 60. Zuletzt gibt es einen eigenen Menüpunkt zur Konfiguration der GPS-Antenne. Ist diese aktiv, wird die aktuelle Position dargestellt. Falls die GPS-Antenne fehlt oder man bewußt eine andere Position eingeben will, z.B. die des Kunden, kann man die gewünschte Position auch manuell eingeben. In der von uns getesteten Firmware-Version wird die GPSAntenne lediglich zur Anzeige der aktuellen Position und zur Berechnung des Azimuts, Elevation und Skew genutzt.

Sinnvoll wäre jedoch eine Erweiterung der Firmware zur kontinuierlichen Aufzeichnung der Mess-Parameter mitsamt geografischer Position. Eine solche Aufzeichnung der Empfangsparameter mit Geo-Position könnte man anschließend zum Beispiel mit Google Maps nutzen, um etwa regionale Ausleuchtzonen von Single Frequency Netzwerken zu erstellen.

Wasserfall 61. The Deviser S7000 is the first combined TV analyzer that features the waterfall diagram to show the spectrum. In this picture you can see the result of rotating our motorized dish. Notice the different satellites and their transponders. Can you guess the satellites? With a bit of training you will recognize the satellites. 62. Deviser not only implemented the waterfall diagram – they seriously thought about it and realized a combined spectrum and waterfall display mode. This is really useful, as the spectrum features a high resolution, while the waterfall will keep track of the spectrum over a period of time.

63. Here we were optimizing our dish for the reception of exotic satellites… notice how the reception level varies on the waterfall diagram. After using this display mode, you won’t like to miss it ever again.

CATV und terrestrischer TV Modus 64. Schaltet man im Hauptmenü in den KABEL & terrestrischen

TV Modus um, erscheinen statt dem Sat-Finder und DiSEqC Symbol zwei neue Symbole zur Messung der Schräglage und dem Barscan. 65, 66, 67, 68. Anhand der aktiven Kanalliste stellt sich das Gerät automatisch auf CATV oder terrestrischen TV Empfang ein. Wieder erkennt der S7000 die Empfangsparameter automatisch und in Rekordzeit. Wie im SAT-Modus kann im oberen Bildschirmbereich wahlweise die Leistung, MER, CBER oder VBER vergrößert und mit Balkendiagramm dargestellt werden.

www.TELE-audiovision.com — 09-10/2013 — TELE-audiovision International — 全球发行量最大的数字电视杂志

69, 70, 71. Im DVB-T/H Modus ist das Konstellations-Diagramm enorm wichtig, um Fehler zu erkennen. Der Deviser S7000 bietet alle bekannten Funktionen wie Zoom, um die Quadranten vergrößert darzustellen. Interessanter erscheint jedoch die mir sonst unbekannte Möglichkeit, das Konstellationsdiagramm auf einzelne Träger im Transponder zu reduzieren. Tatsächlich ermöglicht dies zum Beispiel den konkreten Einfluss eines schmalbändigen Störsignals auf einzelne Träger zu analysieren. Toll! 72, 73. Genau wie im SATModus, kann auch im DVBT/H Modus das Spektrum in verschiedenen Anzeigearten, Wasserfall-Diagramm inklusive, angezeigt werden. Das Spektrum wird im Frequenzbereich von 50 MHz bis 1000 MHz deutlich langsamer aktualisiert als im SAT Modus, was natürlich daran liegt, das andere Signal-Modulationen und standardmäßig eine kleinere Spektrum-Frequenzbandbreite genutzt werden. Deviser bietet dem Anwender jedoch an, die Spektrum-Frequenzbandbreite in Schritten zu editieren. Je nach Einstellung wird das Spektrum detailreicher oder schneller dargestellt. 74. Das Spektrum möchte man jedoch hier sowieso nicht über die ganze Frequenzspanne analysieren – es reicht wenn man sich einmal kurz kundig macht, auf welchen Frequenzen Signale anliegen. Wichtiger ist es hier, kleine Spannen einzustellen, die zum Beispiel ein genaues Messen des Signal/RauschAbstandes ermöglichen. Dazu stehen in diesem Modus zwei Marker zur Verfügung und der S7000 ermittelt automatisch den Abstand in MHz und dB. 75. In keinem modernen Messgerät für DVB-T/H darf die EchoMessung fehlen. Diese Messung ist speziell für Single Frequency Netzwerke (SFN) wichtig. Hintergrund ist hier, dass die verschiedenen Funkzellen das Signal in einer Region über die gleiche Frequenz ausstrahlen. Dies hat viele Vorteile, denn zum einen bleibt der gesamte restliche Frequenzbereich für andere Anwendungen frei, zum anderen können Empfänger innerhalb der Region transportiert werden (zum Beispiel in Autos), ohne dass ein Neujustieren der Empfangsfrequenz notwendig ist. Leider hat die SFN Ausstrahlung auch einen großen Nachteil: befindet sich der Empfänger zwischen zwei Funkzellen, wird das Signal eben von beiden Sendern empfangen. Da sich diese aber unterschiedlich weit entfernt vom Empfänger befinden, kommt es zu einer Laufzeitverschiebung des Signals, die ECHO genannt wird. Die DVB-T/H Norm sieht einen so genannten Guard Intervall vor, der diese Laufzeitverschiebungen automatisch ausgleicht, wenn sie gering ist, also innerhalb des Guard Intervall liegt. Ist das ECHO aber zu groß, dann kommt es unweigerlich zur Empfangsbeeinträchtigung

42 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

und dies, obwohl ein einfaches Messgerät sehr wohl eine hohe Signal-Leistung misst! Der S7000 beherrscht diese ECHO-Messung und zeigt die ermittelten Echos automatisch als Grafik und in einer Tabelle an. Zu jedem Echo werden die entsprechende Leistung, sowie die Verzögerung in Mikrosekunden/Kilometer angezeigt. Somit kann ein Installateur ermitteln, welche Funkzelle das störende Echo hervorruft und die Antenne entsprechend ausrichten, besonders wenn er über Dokumentation zur regionalen Verteilung der Funkzellen verfügt. Ein Trick besteht übrigens darin, das Dach des Hauses zur Blockierung der ungewünschten Signale einer entfernten Funkzelle zu missbrauchen! 76. Eine weitere Messung, die relativ neu ist und nur in wenigen Profi-Messgeräten zu finden ist, ist die MER vs. Träger Messung. Hier wird derModulation/Fehler-Abstand (MER) nicht wie üblich als Durchschnittswert aller Träger innerhalb des Transponders dargestellt, sondern für jeden Träger einzeln. Diese Werte werden in einer Grafik dargestellt, die dem Spektrum ähnelt und konsequenterweise auch parallel als Wasserfall-Diagramm. Der Marker erlaubt das Navigieren innerhalb der vielen Träger, die den Transponder bilden und das Messgerät zeigt den jeweils passenden MER-Wert in dB. Diese Messung dient dazu, kleinste Störungen aufzudecken, wie sie zum Beispiel von analogen Audio/Video-Sendern im UHF/VHF Band erzeugt werden. Aber auch LTE und andere Dienste können durchaus einen DVB-T/H Transponder teilweise stören. Mit der einfachen MER-Messung lassen sich diese Störungen nicht feststellen, da ja der durchschnittliche Wert kaum beeinträchtigt wird. Trotzdem reicht es einige wenige Träger komplett zu stören, damit ein beachtlicher Teil des Transport Streams nicht mehr korrekt empfangen werden kann. Einzigartig ist hier die simultane Darstellung als Wasserfall-Diagramm, denn so können auch intermittierende oder kurzzeitige Störungen erfasst und dokumentiert werden. 77. Genau wie im SAT-Modus kann jeder Zeit der TS Analysator aufgerufen werden. In Sekunden wird das Signal eingerastet und die Empfangsparameter ausgelesen. Dank vollständiger Implementierung sämtlicher gängiger und auch weniger üblichen CODECs kann zum Beispiel auch das portugiesische TDT („Televisão Digital Terestre“ – digitales terrestrisches Fernsehen) dargestellt werden,obwohl hier trotz DVB-T Modulation das Bild in MPEG4 H-264 und Audio in MPEG4 AACkomprimiert werden, wie aus dem PROG GRAPH Bildschirm ablesbar ist.

73 78, 79, 80. Der Deviser S7000 unterscheidet nicht extra zwischen CATV und terrestrischem TV. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass entsprechende Kanallisten nicht unbedingt getrennt erstellt werden müssen und vor allem muss man nicht kompliziert in Menüs den Modus umschalten. Souverän erkennt der S7000 die Modulation, egal ob analog, DVB-C oder DVBT/H. Bei analogen Kanälen wird der

Video- und Audio-Pegel angezeigt und dessen Abstand automatisch berechnet. 81. Natürlich können analoge Kanäle auch mit Bild und Ton wiedergegeben werden und das Messgerät zeigt gleichzeitig weitere Informationen wie zum Beispiel die Bild-Norm an. Wie bei der Darstellung von digitalen Transpondern kann das TV-Bild durch Druck auf die OK-Taste Bildschirmfüllend dargestellt werden.

www.TELE-audiovision.com — 09-10/2013 — TELE-audiovision International — 全球发行量最大的数字电视杂志

82. Bei analogen Signalen sind selbstverständlich auch weitere Messungen möglich, zum Beispiel der Signal/RauschAbstand. Unüblich ist auch hier die Fülle an Informationen, die dank der hohen Bildschirm-Auflösung gleichzeitig dargestellt werden. Auch aus größerer Entfernung ist hier zum Beispiel der Pegel und der Signal/Rauschabstand über die Balkengrafik und dem numerischen Wert ablesbar, während trotzdem simultan zum Beispiel die Kanal-Nummer und dessen Frequenz angezeigt werden. 83. Mit dem Deviser S7000 kann auch eine Brummschleifen-Messung realisiert werden, diees ermöglicht, den Einfluss von Brummschleifen, die durch das Stromnetz entstehen, auf analogen TV Kanälen zu messen. Natürlich kann im Konfigurations-Menü eingestellt werden, ob das Stromnetz mit 50Hz oder 60Hz betrieben wird 84. Und wieder eine Überraschung: um auch wirklich alle möglichen Fehler entdecken zu können, ist es möglich die analogen Bildzeilen in einem Oszillator-Modus darstellen. So können zum Beispiel Probleme in der für die Bild-Synchronisation wichtigen Austastlücke

44 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

erkannt werden. 85. Der Spektrum-Modus verfügt im Modus für CATV und terrestrischem TV über die Möglichkeit zwei Marker zu positionieren, wobei automatisch der PegelAbstand angezeigt wird. 86. Außerdem ist natürlich auch eine Spitzenhalte-Funktion vorhanden. Diese ist zum Beispiel nützlich, wenn es gilt einen Verstärker zu justieren. 87. Ein Vorverstärker ist im Deviser S7000 gleich mit eingebaut und kann, wenn notwendig, aktiviert werden. 88. Digitale CATV Kanäle können selbstverständlich auch gemessen werden und wieder ermittelt der S7000 in Rekordzeit die notwendigen Empfangsparameter. Überhaupt überrascht es mich, dass ich während des gesamten Tests den Settings-Editor nicht benutzen musste, um vorab die Kanallisten für den Empfang einzurichten. 89. Bei digitalen Signalen werden im Messbildschirm die Leistung und der Signal/Rausch-Abstand dargestellt. Dank dem großen Bildschirm sind gleichzeitig die weiteren wichtigsten Messwerte und Parameter wie MER, Preund Post-BER und Frequenz, Bandbreite, usw. ablesbar.

90. Wie schon beim Handheld Messgerät DS2400T, dass in der TELE-audiovision 1209 getestet wurde, steht auch hier eine Langzeit-Messung der Bit Fehlerrate (BER) zur Verfügung. Die Zeitintervalle können angepasst werden und fortan zeigt eine Grafik den Verlauf von BER und MER. So können besonders intermittierende Probleme aufgedeckt werden. 91. Für DVB-C Signal steht eine weitere Messung bereit, die EVM („Error Vector Magnitude“) genannt wird.Diese Messung ähnelt der MER Messung, doch es wird eine andere Referenz benutzt: während zur Ermittlung von MER der RMS Wert des QAM Signals benutzt wird, wird für die EVM Messung der Spitzenwert des QAM Signals als Referenzwert herangezogen. Die EVM Messung stellt daher das Verhältnis der Amplitude des Fehlervektor des Signals zu dessen idealer Vektor-Amplitude dar und erlaubt es Interfenzen im Signal unter der QAM Maske zu erkennen. 92. Die sogenannte Schräglagen-Messung (TILT) zeigt die Balken der einzelnen Kanäle in aufsteigender Frequenz von links nach rechtssortiert, so

46 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

dass die Linie, die den ersten Balken mit dem letzten Balken verbindet, die Schräglage anzeigt. Diese Linie sollte möglichst waagerecht sein. Eine große Schräglage ist ein Anzeichen für Dämpfung im oberen (oder unteren) Frequenzbereich und kann zum Beispiel durch geeignete Verstärker kompensiert werden. 93. Für die Barscan-Messung können bis zu 16 Kanäle ausgewählt werden – je nach Wunsch kann man nur analoge, nur digitale oder gleichzeitig analoge und digitale Kanäle wählen. 94. Hier wurden nur die analogen Kanäle in die Barscan-Messung einbezogen. 95. An der gleichen Dose wurden nun auch digitale Kanäle (in blau) gemessen. Besonders bei den vier digitalen Kanälen auf der rechten Seite wird deutlich, dass das Signal abfällt, die Dämpfung ist zu groß. 96. Fast schon selbstverständlich ist die so genannte Barscan-Messung, in welcher der Pegel, bzw. die Leistung ausgewählter Kanäle als Balkengrafik dargestellt wird. Bei analogen Kanälen wird der Video-Pegel in Grün, der entsprechende Audio-Pegel in Gelb dargestellt.

100

101

Digitale Kanäle erscheinen als einfarbige blaue Balken. Auch hier werden die Kanäle nach aufsteigender Frequenz sortiert und wieder ist deutlich sichtbar, dass an der getesteten Antennendose ein Problem vorhanden ist, denn die digitalen Kanäle am rechten Rand haben eine deutlich geringere Leistung als die anderen.

97, 98. Der Deviser S7000 unterstützt alle für CATV üblichen Modulationen und kann deren Konstellations-Diagramm ohne Probleme darstellen, egal ob 64QAM oder 256QAM. 99, 100. Für terrestrisches Fernsehen und CATV kann der S7000 einen Kanalsuchlauf durchführen. Dabei kann der Anwender wählen ob nur analoge, digitale oder beides gefunden werden soll. Die Schwellwerte können vorab im Konfigurationsmenü angegeben werden. 101. Für den Satelliten-Modus muss man einfach nur den gewünschten Satelliten aus der Liste wählen und es ist sogar möglich am Gerät neue Satelliten anzulegen. Die vordefinierte Satelliten-Liste enthält praktisch alle Satelliten weltweit mit jeweils allen aktuellen Transpondern.

PVR Receiver für Satellit und Terrestrik

Das Beste aus zwei Welten 09-10/2013

Beim IS1-19HD von MKTech handelt es sich um einen Hybrid Receiver: das Gerät empfängt sowohl die Satelliten-Signale in DVB-S2 als auch die terrestrischen Programme. Für den stark wachsenden Markt in Südamerika hat MKTech den terrestrischen Empfangsteil des IS1-19HD daher für ISDB-TB ausgelegt. An der Frontseite des dezenten Gehäuses findet man ein sehr gut lesbares VFD Display vor, gleich daneben hat der Hersteller insgesamt 7 Tasten untergebracht, falls der Fernbedienung in Ermangelung frischer Batterien der Strom ausgehen sollte. Hinter einer Klappe befindet sich ein Kartenleser zum Empfang von verschlüsselten Inhalten. Die Rückseite präsentiert sich gut bestückt mit dem

DVB-S2 und dem ISDB-TB Eingang sowie ihrem jeweiligen Loop-Ausgang, einem HDMI Ausgang, sechs Buchsen für Stereo Audio, CVBS und YUV sowie einem Netzwerkanschluss, einem koaxialen S/PDIF Ausgang und einem USB 2.0 Port. Besonders pfiffig und für uns in dieser Form neu ist ein Wechselrahmen für eine interne 2.5“ SATA Festplatte, die ohne Werkzeug mit nur einem Tastendruck ein- bzw. ausgebaut werden kann. Nicht zu vergessen ist auch das kostenlos im Lieferumfang enthaltene USB WiFi Dongle, mit dessen Hilfe der Endverbraucher auf Wunsch auch drahtlos eine Netzwerkverbindung mit dem IS1-19HD herstellen kann. Die mitgelieferte Fernbedienung gefiel uns im Test sehr gut, sie lag angenehm

in der Hand und vermittelte dank der rutschfesten Unterseite ein sicheres Gefühl. Die gut angeordneten und übersichtlich beschrifteten Tasten erleichterten die Bedienung des Receivers im Praxistest sehr. Insgesamt können wir die Verarbeitung des MKTech IS1-19HD nur loben und besonders der einfach zugängliche Festplattenwechselrahmen verdient besondere Beachtung. Der IS1-19HD verfügt über keinen Installationsassistenten, der Anwender muss alle notwendigen Einstellungen manuell vornehmen und selbst in den verschiedenen Menüeinträgen auswählen. Insgesamt fällt das

0.59

50 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

aber nicht schwer, da die gesamte Menüstruktur sehr übersichtlich ausgefallen ist und die einzelnen Einträge selbsterklärend sind. Dank der Unterstützung aller DiSEqC Protokolle (also 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 und 1.3) kann der IS1-19HD mit jeder verfügbaren Antennenkombination verwendet werden, die vorprogrammierten und zudem auf Wunsch auch frei wählbaren LOF Werte sorgen zusätzlich für den problemlosen weltweiten Einsatz. Insgesamt 59 Satelliteneinträge hat MKTech vorprogrammiert, leider sind diese aber nicht alle aktuell. Hervorragend der Kanalsuchlauf: sowohl der Blindscan

1 als auch der reguläre Suchlauf haben im Test sehr gut funktioniert, in rund 4 Minuten wurden jeweils knapp über 1500 TV- und 520 Radioprogramme entdeckt. Gut gefiel uns dabei im Blindscan Modus, dass der Receiver erst alle aktiven Frequenzen einliest (dafür benötigt er etwas mehr als 1 Minute), diese mit der vorprogrammierten Transponderliste vergleicht und danach einen Suchlauf durchführt. So wird bei jedem Blindscansuchlauf auch gleich die Transponderdatenbank auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Im ISDB-TB Modus stehen dem Anwender der automatische und manuelle Suchlauf zur Verfügung, wobei im automatischen Modus alle verfügbaren Frequenzen eingelesen werden, während der manuelle Modus das individuelle Auswählen und Bearbeiten von Frequenzen ermöglicht. Sowohl der ISDB-TB als auch der DVB-S2 Tuner erwiesen sich als eingangsempfindlich und verarbeiteten auch schwächere Signale problemlos. Insgesamt acht Favoritenlisten stehen für die Lieblingssender zum raschen Auffinden bereit und wer auf Nummer Sicher gehen möchte, der kann seine mühsam erstellte Kanalliste auf einem Speichermedium ablegen und so im Notfall jederzeit darauf zurückgreifen. Tadellos hat die automatische Ausgangssignalanpassung im Praxistest funktioniert. Während auf einem 42“ LCD Fernseher das Signal in 1080p ausgegeben wurde erkannte der Receiver die maximale Auflösung unserer Capture Karte korrekt mit 1080i und reduzierte die Auflösung entsprechend. Erwähnenswert ist die Funktion „Volume per Channel“, die in den Systemeinstellungen wahlweise aktiviert oder deaktiviert werden kann. Wird sie aktiviert, so merkt sich der Receiver für jeden einzelnen Kanal die vom Anwender gewählte Lautstärke; so kön-

nen besonders laute Sender standardmäßig leiser und eher leise Sender standardmäßig lauter wiedergegeben werden. Im Praxistest hat sich dieses Feature rasch als nützlich erwiesen, besonders wenn man zwischen Sendern aus unterschiedlichen Regionen der Welt zappt, die oft mit ungleichen Lautstärkepegeln arbeiten. Die nach jedem Kanalwechsel eingeblendete Infoleiste zeigt übersichtlich den Namen der aktuellen und folgenden Sendung, sofern der Programmanbieter diese Informationen mitliefert. Da es sich beim IS1-19HD um einen PVR Receiver handelt hat MKTech selbstverständlich auch an eine Möglichkeit gedacht, um Timereinträge direkt via EPG mit nur einem Tastendruck erzeugen zu können. Im Praxistest hat das hervorragend funktioniert, auch in Verbindung mit einer täglichen oder wöchentlichen Wiederholung. Dank der übersichtlichen Kanalliste des IS1-19HD wird das Zappen zur wahren Freude, selbstverständlich leistet aber auch die mit unter einer Sekunde sehr rasche Umschaltgeschwindigkeit ihren Beitrag dazu.

vielfältigen Direktwahltasten an der Fernbedienung, so z.B. für das Suchen einzelner Sender, den Wechsel der Ausgangsauflösung, den Wechsel des Bildanzeigemodus sowie zum Anzeigen der gespeicherten Timereinträge. Vervollständigt wurde unser positiver Gesamteindruck noch durch den fehlerfrei arbeitenden OSD Teletext Decoder und die insgesamt sehr sorgfältig umgesetzte Software. Dank des leistungsstarken Hauptprozessors, dem 128 MB Flash Speicher sowie 256 MB SDRAM zur Verfügung stehen wurden alle Fernbedienungsbefehle prompt und verzögerungsfrei ausgeführt. Das zeigte sich auch bei der PVR-Funktion. Problemlos ließen sich dabei zwei Aufnahmen, auch in HD Qualität, gleichzeitig durchführen, während ein drittes Programm live oder von der Festplatte gesehen wurde. Und dank des praktischen USB Manager kann der Anwender mühelos Verzeichnisse erstellen, Dateien löschen, kopieren oder umbenennen und natürlich auch das Formatieren neuer Speichermedien ist möglich. Wie mittlerweile bei nahezu allen PVR Receivern üblich bietet auch der MKTech IS1-19HD eine Jukeboxfunk-

tion für Audiodateien, einen Bildbetrachter sowie einen Videoplayer. Folgende Dateiformate werden dabei unterstützt: AVI, ASF, MPEG, MKV, RM, TS, M2TS, FLV, SWF, DAT, VOB und RMVB für den Videobereich, MP3, FLAC, WMA und AAC für den Audiobereich sowie JPEG, BMP, PNG und GIF für den Bildbetrachter. Schlussendlich dient der USB Anschluss des IS1-19HD auch zum Aktualisieren der Gerätesoftware, regelmäßig stellt der Hersteller die dafür notwendigen Updates auf seiner Website zum Download bereit. Der MKTech IS1-19HD verfügt nicht nur über eine kabelgebundene RJ45 Ethernetbuchse sondern kann mittels des im Lieferumfang enthaltenem WiFi Dongle auch drahtlos mit dem heimischen Router kommunizieren.

Besonders gefreut hat uns aber, dass sie auch wirklich alle sinnvoll via Receiver und Fernseher genutzt werden können, denn nur dann werden sie die Anwender auch häufig in Anspruch nehmen. Die Kombination DVB-S2 und ISDB-TB ist für unsere TELE-audiovision Leser in Südamerika sehr interessant und wir sind sicher, dass der IS1-19HD von MKTech dort viele Anhänger finden wird.

DVB-C Messgerät

Von Profis für Profis 09-10/2013

Für einen professionellen Monteur, der z.B. für Hotels, Wohnblocks oder kleine Siedlungen ein eigenes DVBC Netz aufbaut bzw. dort für die Verteilung bereits vorhandener DVB-C Signale zu sorgen hat ist ein zuverlässiges Messgerät das wichtigste Werkzeug. Genau für diese anspruchsvollen Monteure hat Horizon, seit vielen Jahren Hersteller bester Messgeräte und den TELE-audiovisions Lesern durch viele Berichte bestens bekannt, mit dem HD-CM+ das passende Messgerät für DVB-C entwickelt. Die blaue Box mit einer Größe von 17 x 16 x 6.5 cm und einem Gewicht von rund 1 kg entspricht dem von Horizon gewohnten Design, das sich in verschiedensten Praxistests immer wieder bewährt hat. An der Vorderseite findet der Besitzer eines HDCM+ den Signalanschluss in Form einer F-Buchse. Wie es für professionelle Nutzer gewünscht wird ist die Buchse austauschbar, da durch das ständige Ein- und Ausstecken bei jedem Messvorgang diese Buchse einem extrem hohen Verschleiß ausgesetzt ist. Gleich daneben befindet sich das perfekt lesbare LCD Display sowie insgesamt 5 Tasten zur Steuerung aller Funktionen. Dreht man das Messgerät um so erhält man Zugriff auf den Stromanschluss sowie seitlich auf eine USB Buchse und den Anschluss für das 12V Netzteil. Den integrierten Ni-Mh Akku hat Horizon an der Unterseite, gut geschützt durch eine Klappe, verstaut. Begeistert hat uns dabei vor allem, dass dieser leicht und ohne Werkzeug zugänglich ist und daher im Bedarfsfall rasch gewechselt werden kann. Schließlich

ist für einen professionellen Anwender nichts ärgerlicher als der Ausfall eines Arbeitswerkzeugs. Auch beim Zubehör hat Horizon nicht gespart und legt dem HDCM+ neben allen benötigten Kabeln (Stromversorgung, USB) auch ein Ladegerät für den 12V Zigarettenanzünder im Auto bei. Weiters liegt dem Gerät eine praktische Regenschutzabdeckung für das Display, eine externe Antenne zum Aufspüren beschädigter Kabel bzw. von Störsignalen sowie schließlich eine bestens verarbeitete Tragetasche aus Nylon bei. Dank ihrer Hilfe ist das wertvolle Messgerät jederzeit griffbereit und trotzdem bestens vor Feuchtigkeit, Schmutz und Beschädigungen geschützt. Das beigelegte Handbuch ist übersichtlich und beschreibt kurz und knapp alle Funktionen des HD-CM+. Vor der ersten Verwendung empfiehlt Horizon, den Akku des HD-CM+ für ganze acht Stunden mit Spannung zu versorgen, damit dieser seine volle Leistungsfähigkeit entfalten kann. Diesem Rat sind wir im Praxistest natürlich gefolgt und haben das neue Horizon Messgerät über Nacht mit der Steckdose verbunden. Das interne Netzteil verträgt übrigens Spannungen im Bereich zwischen 90V und 250V AC und ist somit weltweit einsetzbar. Während des Ladevorgangs zeigt das Display stets den aktuellen Ladestatus an, so dass der Anwender einen Eindruck davon bekommt, wie lange der Vorgang noch in etwa dauern wird. Bei dieser Gelegenheit warfen wir auch gleich einen ersten Blick auf das monochrome LCD Display mit einer Auflösung von 128x64 Pixel, das dank

Horizon HD-CM+ für DVB-C Extrem leichte Bedienung für den professionellen Kabel-Monteur

www.TELE-audiovision.com/13/09/horizon

Hintergrundbeleuchtung bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen sowie aufgrund der sehr guten Kontrastwerte auch bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung ohne Einschränkungen abgelesen werden kann. Der vom Hersteller verbaute NiMh Akku mit einer Kapazität von 3300mAh ermöglicht 7 Stunden durchgehenden Betrieb, ohne auf eine externe Spannungsversorgung angewiesen zu sein. Für den professionellen Monteur bedeutet das also, dass ein ganzer Arbeitstag ohne Aufladen des Messgeräts zu realisieren ist. Wie bei Horizon Messgeräten üblich wird auch das HDCM+ durch einen beherzten Druck auf die Pfeiltaste nach unten aktiviert und sogleich kann der Kabel-Monteur das Einstellungsmenü zum Personalisieren des Messgeräts aufrufen. Hier lassen sich die Hintergrundbeleuchtung, die Displayhelligkeit und der Displaykontrast anpassen ebenso wie die automatische Abschaltung aktiviert werden kann. Dank dieser praktischen Funktion wird verhindert, dass sich der Akku des HD-CM+ unnötig entleert,

www.TELE-audiovision.com — 09-10/2013 — TELE-audiovision International — 全球发行量最大的数字电视杂志

und kann wählen, welche Art von Suchlauf durchgeführt werden soll. Zur Auswahl stehen Full Scan, Short Scan und Manual Scan. Bevor wir hier eine Auswahl treffen und Ihnen die einzelnen Funktionen näher erklären müssen wir unbedingt noch erwähnen, dass das HD-CM+ bis zu 20 vorgefertigte Kanalpläne im internen Speicher verwalten kann. Diese stehen für mehrere Dutzend Anbieter weltweit zur Verfügung und erlauben es dem

Anwender, besonders rasch und einfach auf die jeweils genutzten Frequenzen eines DVB-C Providers zugreifen zu können. Steht kein spezieller Kanalplan für den eigenen Anbieter zur Verfügung, greift man einfach auf den Standardkanalplan mit allen Frequenzen im UHF und VHF Band zurück. Dank der praktischen Downloadmöglichkeit über die Website des Herstellers www.horizonhge.com lassen sich unterschiedliche Kanalpläne direkt auswäh-

len bzw. zusammenstellen und dann als komprimiertes ZIP Archiv auf den PC laden. Um diese nun auf das Messgerät zu übertragen genügt es, mittels des beigelegten USB Kabel eine Verbindung zwischen PC und Messgerät herzustellen; alle dafür notwendigen Treiber stehen ebenfalls über die Website von Horizon bereit. Die Übertragung der Daten funktionierte im Test reibungslos und ohne weiteres Zutun unsererseits, da die Kanalpläne die zum Übertragen benötigte Software bereits enthalten. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, selbst Kanalpläne zu erstellen oder zu bearbeiten; man kann aber eigene Pläne bei Horizon selbst anfragen. Da unser Testrechner mit Windows 8 ausgestattet war, können wir auch bestätigen, dass die neueste Version von Microsofts Betriebssystem sowohl von Treiber als auch Software unterstützt wird. Mit Hilfe des vollständigen Suchlaufs (Full Scan) wird der aktuell gewählte Kanalplan von Anfang bis Ende abgearbeitet (oder umgekehrt durch Drücken der Links/ Rechts Tasten), während der Short Scan nur die zuvor explizit markierten Frequenzen des aktuellen Kanalplans einliest. Der manuelle Suchlauf erlaubt dem Anwender über eine Frequenzauswahl mit Spektrumansicht, jede gewünschte Frequenz nach Belieben einzeln zu wählen. Im Full Scan und Short Scan Modus beginnt das HD-CM+ bei der niedrigsten Frequenz und arbeitet sich zur höchs-

ten Frequenz vor, wobei bei jeder aktiven Frequenz gestoppt und eine Messung durchgeführt wird. Wurde eine aktive Frequenz gefunden so zeigt das Messgerät je nach Art des übertragenen Signals (analog oder digital) folgende Messwerte: Bei digitalen Sendern: RF Signalpegel, MER und BER sowie bei analogen Sendern: RF Videosignalpegel, RF Audiosignalpegel sowie SNR. Und das praktischerweise nicht nurin Form einer absoluten Zahl sondern auch eines grafischen Infobalkens! Im Test hat uns dabei nicht nur die Übersichtlichkeit der Anzeige, sondern auch die wirklich perfekte Lesbarkeit des Displays überzeugt. Wir konnten es daher gar nicht erwarten, das Signal eines lokalen Kabelanbieters mit

dem HD-CM+ genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Für unseren Provider UPC Austria war kein vorgefertigter Kanalplan auf der Website des Herstellers zu finden, so dass wir auf den Standardkanalplan zurückgriffen. Rasch hatten wir die ersten Messergebnisse am Monitor, und waren hingerissen, wie einfach und intuitiv das HDCM+ zu bedienen ist. Natürlich stellte sich uns jetzt aber auch die Frage, wie genau die erhaltenen Messergebnisse denn sind? So verbanden wir ein Ver-

gleichsmessgerät eines anderen Herstellers mit der Signalleitung unseres Kabelanbieters. Die dabei gemessenen Signalwerte waren nahezu identisch, so dass wir dem Horizon HD-CM+ mit Fug und Recht einen sehr guten Tuner bescheinigen können. In Tabelle 1 sehen Sie eine Aufstellung der von uns getesteten Frequenzen und die jeweils ermittelten

Signalparameter. Hat das Messgerät eine aktive Frequenz erkannt, so kann durch einen Druck auf die OK Taste bei digitalen Signalen das Konstellationsdiagramm aufgerufen werden, ebenso wie die ermittelten Signalparameter im Speicher des Messgeräts hinterlegt werden können. Da gerade im DVB-C Bereich unterschiedlich hohe Signalpegel bzw. Schräglagen im Signalpegel über das Frequenzband verteilt ein nicht zu unterschätzendes Problem darstellen können, das in den meisten Fällen durch schlechte Verkabelung, billig verarbeitete Signalsplitter oder nicht korrekt eingestellte Signaleinspeiseeinheiten verursacht wird, lassen sich bis zu 5 aktive Frequenzen für eine Vergleichsmessung auswählen.Deren Signalpegelwerte werden dann sehr übersichtlich nebeneinander angezeigt und erlauben so die optimale Anpassung. Besonders praktisch: wird eine der 5 gewählten Frequenzen markiert, zeigt das Messgerät auch sofort den Unterschied im Signalpegel zu den anderen 4 Frequenzen an. Gefreut hat uns auch, dass dem Kabel-Monteur eine Spektrumansicht zur Verfügung steht, deren Bandbreite mit den Steuertasten direkt am Messgerät angepasst werden kann. Hierfür stehen die vordefinierten Werte 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,256, 512 und 840 MHz zur Auswahl bereit. Jede beliebige Frequenz kann dabei mit den links/rechts Tasten gewählt werden und wird im oberen Bereich abwechselnd mit der aktuellen Bandbreite und dem aktuell gemessenen RF Signalpegel angezeigt. Ein Druck auf die OK Taste analysiert die Frequenz und liefert alle weiteren relevanten Parameter. Abgerundet wird der Funktionsumfang des HD-CM+ noch durch den LeakageTest, mit dem unerwünschte Signalverluste bzw. Störquellen leicht entdeckt

werden können. Dazu verbindet der Monteur die im Lieferumfang enthaltene Antenne mit dem Signaleingang des Messgeräts und wählt eine der vorprogrammierten Testfrequenzen aus. Das Messgerät aktiviert nun eine besonders intensive Rauschpegelmessung, deren Ergebnis im Display entweder als grauer Balken (in diesem Fall liegt das Messergebnis unter der Tresholdschwelle und deutet somit auf keine Fehler hin) oder als deutliche Signalspitzen mit einer entsprechenden Balkenanzeige für den Fall, dass ein Fehler gefunden wurde, angezeigt wird. Im Praxistest hat diese Funktion einwandfrei funktioniert. Gerade für den professionellen Monteur ist es natürlich äußerst wichtig seinem zahlenden Kunden auch eine entsprechende Dokumentation der durchgeführten Arbeiten zukommen zu lassen. Genau dafür verfügt das HDCM+ über eine interne Logger Funktion, mit deren Hilfe die gemessenen Signalwerte im Speicher des Messgeräts abgelegt werden können. Dank einer kostenlos über die Website des Herstellers verfügbaren Software lassen sich diese am PC im Format CSV, das z.B. mit MS Excel verarbeitet werden kann, auslesen und anzeigen. In unserem Praxistest konnten wir so die Werte der Vergleichsmessung ganz einfach abspeichern und in die Tabelle integrieren. Zu guter Letzt möchten wir noch das integrierte Voltmeter mit einem Messbereich von 0 bis 110V erwähnen. Insgesamt hat uns das Horizon HD-CM+ im Test sehr viel Spaß gemacht und vor allem durch seine einfache und logische Bedienerführung begeistern können. Das wunderbar lesbare Display tat sein Übriges dazu, um uns glücklich zu machen. Im Vergleichstest mit einem anderen Messgerät konnten wir die ermittelten Signalwerte als authentisch belegen.

TEST REPORT

HDTV Satelliten Receiver

Ein Satellitenreceiver mit vielen tollen Features Dass ein qualitativ hochwertiger Satellitenreceiver nicht groß sein muss will Dragonsat mit dem neuen DS5500HD unter Beweis stellen. Stimmt das auch? Das wollten wir genauer wissen und haben den Receiver einem Praxistest zu unterzogen. Nach dem Auspacken gibt es optisch nichts auszusetzen: mit 22 x 14.5 x 3.5 cm ist der DS-5500HD wirklich angenehm klein ausgefallen und sollte damit problemlos auf jedem TV-Rack oder im Wohnzimmerschrank seinen Platz finden. An der Vorderseite hat der Hersteller ein vierstelliges Segmentdisplay

untergebracht und gleich daneben eine Status-LED sowie drei Tasten zur Steuerung ohne Fernbedienung. Dreht man den Dragonsat Receiver um so offenbart er seine dicht gedrängte Rückseite. Neben den erforderlichen Anschlüssen hat der Hersteller hier auch den CI Slot und den internen Kartenleser hier integriert. Zur Signalversorgung sticht sofort der Sat-ZF Eingang ins Auge, gleich daneben befinden sich ein Loop Ausgang, eine HDMI Buchse, eine USB und RJ-45 Netzwerkbuchse, ein S/PDIF Ausgang, eine RS232 Buchse sowie eine

09-10/2013 Dragonsat DS-5500HD Sehr schneller Satellitenreceiver mit voll integriertem Internetzugang

www.TELE-audiovision.com/13/09/dragonsat

Anschlussmöglichkeit für das im Lieferumfang enthaltene externe CVBS/Stereo Audio Adapterkabel. Mit Spannung versorgt wird der DS-5500HD über ein externes 12V Netzteil, so konnte der Hersteller den für das Netzteil notwendigen Platz innerhalb des Receivers einsparen. Die beigelegte Fernbedienung ist für unsere Begriffe etwas zu schmal ausgefallen, außerdem sind die Tasten im unteren Bereich ziemlich klein geraten. Ansonsten aber ist sie sehr übersichtlich gestaltet sowie perfekt lesbar beschriftet. Insgesamt macht die Verarbeitung von Receiver und Fernbedienung einen sehr guten Eindruck, zu dem auch das beiliegende Handbuch seinen Anteil beisteuert. Wie mittlerweile bei nahezu allen Receivern üblich wird auch der Besitzer eines DS-5500HD nach dem ersten Einschalten vom Installationsassistenten begrüßt, mit dessen Hilfe die wichtigsten Grundeinstellungen vorgenommen werden. Dazu zählt neben OSD Sprache, Zeiteinstellung und Netzwerkein-

stellung natürlich auch ein automatischer Kanalsuchlauf, der den ganzen Vorgang beschließt. Wer noch das eine oder andere Detail vermisst bzw. sich einen Überblick aller Funktionen seines neu erworbenen Receivers verschaffen möchte dem sei ein Blick ins Hauptmenü empfohlen. In den Systemeinstellungen kann der Anwender nahezu jede Funktion des DS-5500HD personalisieren, so z.B. die Videosignalausgabe in den Auflösungen 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p oder man überlässt im Automatikmodus dem Receiver die Wahl. Uns freut es auf jeden Fall zu sehen, dass immer mehr Receiver sowie der DS-5500HD auch Full HD kompatibel sind, wenngleich das Angebot an auflösungsseitig passenden Inhalten via Satellit derzeit je nach Region sehr eingeschränkt bis nicht existent ist. Auf jeden Fall aber ist man so für die Zukunft auf der sicheren Seite. Problemlos lassen sich externe Speichermedien, die via USB Anschluss mit dem

0.54

Receiver verbunden wurden, verwalten ebenso wie das Formatieren (erfreulicherweise auch im NTFS Dateisystem) möglich ist. Um wirklich alle Funktionen des DS-5500HD wie z.B. die verschiedenen OSD Anzeigemodi oder PVR Features wie Vor-/Nachlaufzeit etc. nutzen zu können empfiehlt sich ein kurzer Blick ins Handbuch, das sehr detailliert darüber Auskunft gibt. Insgesamt ist die Menüstruktur des neuen Dragonsat Receiver logisch aufgebaut und gut gelungen, lediglich eine Option zum Energiesparen im Standby, die der Hersteller bei den Anzeigeeinstellungen untergebracht hat, sorgte für kurze Irritation in der Testredaktion. Damit der Anwender sofort mit dem Empfang von Satellitensignalen loslegen kann hat Dragonsat eine umfangreiche Liste europäischer und asiatischer Satelliten mit deren Transponderdaten im C- und Ku-Band bereits vorprogrammiert. Diese Liste besticht zum Teil durch ihre Aktualität, so ist z.B. der erst kürzlich ins All gestartete und derzeit auf 28.2° Ost positionierte ASTRA 1N Satellit bereits korrekt verzeichnet, andererseits fehlen aber z.B. auf der Position ASTRA1 19.2° Ost wichtige Transponder wie z.B. 11494H oder 11671H. Damit der DS-5500HD mit nahezu jeder Empfangsanlage zurechtkommt hat ihm Dragonsat die Unterstützung aller DiSEqC Protokolle, also 1.0 für bis zu 4 Satelliten, 1.1 für bis zu 16 Satelliten sowie 1.2 und 1.3 für die Motorsteuerung spendiert und auch an frei definierbare LOF Parameter gedacht. Hat man die Einstellungen in diesem Bereich erstmal an das Empfangsequipment vor Ort angepasst so wird im nächsten Schritt der bis zu 10.000 Einträge fassende Kanalspeicher mit Einträgen gefüllt. Dafür stehen ein automatischer Suchlauf auf einem oder mehreren Satelliten, ein manueller Transpondersuchlauf,

ein erweiterter Transpondersuchlauf mit PID Eingabe sowie ein Blindscansuchlauf zur Auswahl bereit. Wer keine verschlüsselten Sender empfangen möchte kann den Suchlauf auf frei empfangbare Sender beschränken, das spart später beim Durchforsten der Kanalliste jede Menge Zeit und schafft Ordnung. Der Suchlauf selbst ging rasch von statten, gerade mal 5 Minuten benötigte der DS-5500HD auf dem HOTBIRD 13° Ost, um 1568 TV- und 373 Radiosender einzulesen. Wer etwas mehr Zeit, konkret 12 Minuten, investiert und einen Blindscansuchlauf startet der wird mit 1604 TV- und 374 Radiosendern auf dem HOTBIRD 13° Ost belohnt. Natürlich musste der Blindscan sein Können auch unter erschwerten Bedingungen, konkret auf dem TURKSAT 42° Ost mit etlichen schmalbandigen SCPC Transpondern, unter Beweis stellen. Diese Aufgabe meisterte er jedoch vorbildlich. So, und nicht anders, stellen wir uns eine Blindscansuche vor! 1. Hauptmenü des DS-5500HD 2. Systemeinstellungen 3.

Bei fast 2000 verschiedenen Sendern, die alleine die Suche auf einem einzigen Satelliten offenbart, sind ausgereifte Bearbeitungsund Sortiermöglichkeiten der Kanalliste natürlich ein absolutes Muss. Erfreulicherweise gab sich der DS-5500HD hier keine Blöße, die Kanallisteneinträge können mühelos gelöscht, verschoben, umbenannt, mit einem PIN Code vor den neugierigen Blicken des Juniors geschützt oder einer der vielen Favoritenlisten hinzugefügt werden. Auch das Sortieren der Kanalliste nach Alphabet, Provider, Satellit, Transponder oder Verschlüsselungssystem ist mit nur einem Tastendruck erledigt. Bereits beim ersten Blick ins Hauptmenü wird deutlich, dass der DS-5500HD stark an via Internet empfangenen Inhalten orientiert ist. Klar, dass der Hersteller dann auch die Netzwerkfeatures mit besonderem Augenmerk gestaltet hat. Dass das DHCP Protokoll unterstützt wird ist ohnehin Grundvoraussetzung, gefreut hat uns aber, dass der Receiver via optional erhältlichem WiFi oder 3G Dongle auch drahtlos eine Internetverbindung herstellen kann. Somit eignet er sich auch in diesem Punkt ideal für den Einsatz im Freien wie z.B. auf der Terrasse oder beim Camping. Nachdem die Kanalliste mit Sendern gefüllt und alle Einstellungen an die persönlichen Bedürfnisse angepasst wurden schaltet der DS-5500HD nach Verlassen des Hauptmenüs auf den ers80

ten verfügbaren Sender. Nun sieht der Anwender auch sofort die optisch sehr ansprechend gestaltete Infoleiste, die neben dem Titel der aktuellen Sendung bzw. auf Wunsch auch dem der nachfolgenden Sendung zusätzlich verschiedene Symbole enthält. Sie geben Auskunft darüber, welche Features das aktuelle Programm bietet, also konkret z.B. Teletext, Sprachwahl, Untertitel oder HD Auflösung. Gerade dabei machen sich die vielen praktischen Direktwahltasten an der Fernbedienung bezahlt, mit denen der Anwender Zugriff auf Teletext, Sprachwahl, Untertitel oder die Fa25.

Dank der zügigen Umschaltgeschwindigkeit von unter einer Sekunde macht das Zappen mit dem DS-5500HD so richtig Spaß, und auch die elektronische Programmzeitschrift (EPG) wird wohl das Herz der Anwender höher schlagen lassen. Sie steht in zwei verschiedenen Modi zur Verfügung und zeigt sehr übersichtlich das Programm der nächsten Stunden von sechs Sendern gleichzeitig oder das gesamte Angebot eines Senders für die nächsten Tage an. Da der neue Dragonsat Receiver selbstverständlich auch PVR Fea-

tures an Board hat lassen sich Aufnahmen ganz mühelos direkt via EPG programmieren. Sehr gut hat uns dabei gefallen, dass der DS-5500HD nicht zur 2 Sendungen gleichzeitig aufnehmen kann während eine dritte live gesehen wird, sondern es steht auch (bis zu maximal einer gleichzeitigen Aufnahme) jederzeit die Timeshift Funktion automatisch zur Verfügung. Wer übrigens Angst hat, die neueste Folge seiner Lieblingsserie zu verpassen, den wird die tägliche, wöchentliche, werktägliche oder wochenendlicheTimerwiederholungsfunktion sicherlich sehr freuen. Insgesamt macht die Bedienung des DS-5500HD so richtig Spaß und das liegt in

erster Linie an der zügigen Verarbeitung aller Fernbedienungsbefehle. Die Entscheidung des Herstellers auf einen Prozessor aus dem Hause STi mit 256 MB Flash und nochmal 256 MB SDRAM Speicher zu setzen war also goldrichtig. Auch bei der Auswahl des verbauten Tuners hat Dragonsat auf Qualität geachtet, er konnte bei uns im Praxistest sowohl beim Empfang schwacher Signale wie z.B. über den BADR 26° Ost als auch beim Empfang schmalbandiger SCPC Signale über den TURKSAT 42° Ost punkten. Erwähnenswert scheint uns im Alltagsbetrieb auch noch die gerade in Werbepausen sehr praktische Picture in Picture (PIP) Funktion, mit der entweder ein Sender im Hintergrund und der andere im Vordergrund im verkleinerten Fenster oder zwei Sender in gleich großen Fenstern nebeneinander dargestellt werden können. Witzig, aber im Alltag nicht unbedingt nützlich, fanden wir die Mosaikansicht von 9 oder 12 Sendern, die mittels eigener Taste an der Fernbedienung aufgerufen wird.

Wer einen Blick auf die Website des Herstellers wirft der wird rasch feststellen, dass dieser beständig an der Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserung des DS-5500HD arbeitet und bereits mehrere aktualisierte Softwareversionen zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Praktischerweise kann die neue Software aber nicht nur über die Homepage der Firma Dragonsat, sondern auch direkt am Receiver ganz bequem via Internetupdate aktualisiert werden. Dragonsat setzt beim neuen DS-5500HD voll und ganz auf das Internet als zweites Standbein zum TV- und Radioempfang. Wir von der TELE-audiovision finden, dass der Hersteller damit genau den richtigen Weg eingeschlagen hat, längst schon hat sich ein Breitbandin63. Dank automatischer Softwareaktualisierung ist es besonders einfach seinen Dragonsat Receiver stets auf dem neuesten Stand zu halten 64. Neben neuer Software können auch FreeTV+ Apps und Internet TV+ und Internet Radio+ Listen via Internet geladen werden. Selbst vorgefertigte Kanallisten (z.B. für ASTRA2 28.2° Ost) stehen zum Download bereit 65. Kanallistendownload für ASTRA2 28.2° Ost, HOTBIRD 13° Ost und EUTELSAT 16° Ost 66.

ternetzugang als ernstzunehmende Konkurrenz zu Satellit, Kabel und Antenne etabliert. Betritt man den Hauptmenübereich „Media“ so offenbart der Receiver sofort die vom Hersteller mit so klingenden Namen bezeichneten Features wie Internet TV+, Internet Radio+ oder FreeTV+. Beim Aufrufen derselben gab es bei uns im Praxistest jedoch leider eine kleine Enttäuschung, lediglich 7 TV-Sender waren vorprogrammiert und die Internet Radio+ Liste war zur Gänze leer. Hinzu kommt, dass von den sieben vorprogrammierten Sendern nur insgesamt 3 überhaupt aufgerufen und angezeigt werden konnten. Wer mit dieser mageren Auswahl nicht zufrieden ist, dem bleibt als Alternative das manuelle hinzufügen von Internet-Sendern, das ist auch problemlos möglich. Der Bereich FreeTV+ bietet dem DS-5500HD Besitzer Zugriff auf verschiedenste Multimedia- und Contentanbieter via Internet und zwar mit Hilfe praktischer Apps. Derzeit steht nur eine App für YouTube zur Verfügung, weitere Apps wurden im Test zwar zum Download angezeigt, konnten aber schlussendlich nicht auf unseren Receiver geladen werden. Auf jeden Fall aber hat die YouTube App problemlos

funktioniert, wenn alle anderen Apps ebenso zuverlässig sind, dann können die Anwender mehr als zufrieden sein. Abgerundet wird der Multimediabereich noch durch einen Client zum Empfang des russischen Pay-TV Anbieters Kartina TV und natürlich der Möglichkeit, lokale Videofiles in den Formaten WMV, TS, MP4 bzw. MP4 HD, MKV, Flash, DivX und AVI wiederzugeben. Im Audiobereich steht das MP3 Format und für Bilder JPEG zur Verfügung. Besonders gefreut hat uns in diesem Zusammenhang auch der integrierte DLNA Media Player, mit dessen Hilfe Sie problemlos z.B. auf die Musiksammlung Ihres Windows PC via Netzwerk mit dem DS-5500HD zugreifen können, wobei selbiges natürlich auch für Videos gilt. Damit aber nicht genug: Dragonsat hat mit Hilfe eines DLNA Media Server auch dafür gesorgt, dass Sie z.B. von einem Windows PC aus problemlos auf die am Receiver gespeicherten Inhalte, seien das jetzt Videos, Musik oder Bilder, zugreifen können. Im Praxistest hat das in beiden Richtungen hervorragend funktioniert und jede Menge Spaß gemacht. Natürlich darf bei einem so auf das Internet ausgerichteten Receiver wie dem DS-5500HD auch ein Web

Browser nicht fehlen. Der ist allerdings noch verbesserungswürdig, was sich bereits bei einer Startdauer von rund 10 Sekunden bemerkbar gemacht hat. Auch der Webseitenaufbau lief trotz 100Mbit Internetzugang hier in der Redaktion nur sehr langsam ab; bis unsere Facebook Seite vollständig geladen war vergingen fast 20 Sekunden. Erfreulich hingegen war für uns zu sehen, dass Dragonsat bereits Bookmarks zu einigen wichtigen Seiten wie z.B. Facebook, CNN oder Google Maps vorprogrammiert hat und auch die Zeicheneingabe via OSD Tastatur klappte im Test ganz hervorragend. Zudem lässt sich der Browser individuell in Größe und Position anpassen, so dass z.B. eine Werbepause zum Surfen im Internet genutzt werden kann und man dabei trotzdem das TV-Bild stets im Blick hat, um nach Ende der Werbeunterbrechung das Surfen zu beenden. Abgerundet werden die Internetfeatures noch durch eine eigene Wetter App sowie einen RSS Reader, einen Kalender und einen Taschenrechner. Den Hauptmenüpunkt PlugIn möchten wir an dieser Stelle nur der Vollständigkeit halber erwähnen, er enthält etliche Zusatztools, die tiefer in die Empfangstechnik gehen.

09-10/2013 SPAUN SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY & SUS 5581 F Excellent and most easy way to add direct satellite reception for up to 16 users without additoinal cables

www.TELE-audiovision.com/13/09/spaun

Vor einiger Zeit haben wir in einem Testbericht den SPAUN SUS 5581/33 F mit der Überschrift „Eine sehr einfach zu installierende Satellitensignalverteilung“ (siehe TELEsatellite 12-01/2012) vorgestellt. Damals war dieser Multischalter der erste seiner Art, nämlich ein Single Cable Router (SCR) Multischalter. In der Zwischenzeit hat SPAUN das Produktsortiment erweitert und nicht nur überarbeitete Modelle, sondern eine ganze Produktfamilie

rund um das Einkabelkonzept vorgestellt. Für diesen Testbericht haben wir uns zwei der neuen Modelle ausgesucht, den SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY und den SUS 5581 F. Obwohl beide völlig unabhängig voneinander betrieben werden können spricht allerdings auch nichts dagegen, sie zu verbinden und so zu sehen, wie weit sich das Einkabelkonzept ausreizen lässt. Für diejenigen unter Ihnen, die mit dem Begriff SCR und dem Einkabelkonzept nichts

anfangen können, möchten wir im Folgenden eine kurze Erklärung liefern: Ein Single Cable Router verwendet üblicherweise das Signal eines Quad oder Quattro LNB, ähnlich wie ein regulärer Multischalter. Im Gegensatz zu diesem verbindet man aber mit den einzelnen Ausgängen eines SCR nicht jeweils einen Receiver, sondern eine ganze Reihe von Receivern in Serie, einer nach dem anderen. Natürlich müssen dazu pas-

■ Abb 1: Anschlussdiagramm eines SCR mit 1x8 Ausgang

sende Anschlussdosen wie z.B. SPAUN UNiSocket 310, 314 und 318 verwendet werden, damit das Signal von einem Receiver zum nächsten Receiver weitergeleitet werden kann. Abbildung 1 zeigt ein Beispiel, bei dem der SCR acht modulierte Träger auf fest vorgegebenen Frequenzen ausgibt und jeder der acht angeschlossenen Receiver muss so konfiguriert werden, dass er nur den ihm zugewiesenen Träger ausliest und verwendet. Nun ,da die Grundlagen erklärt sind, können wir uns auf deren Einsatz und Test unter realen Bedingungen konzentrieren. Begonnen haben wir mit dem SPAUN SUS 5581 NF LEGACY. Dieser SCR Multischalter gehört schon zu den eher

komplexen Modellen, er verfügt über vier Satellitensignaleingänge zur Verbindung mit einem Quad oder Quattro LNB sowie über einen fünften Eingang für eine terrestrische Antenne. Anstatt nur eines Ausgangs verfügt er über drei Ausgänge, die folgendermaßen konfiguriert werden können: 3x3 Modus: Jeder der drei Ausgänge erzeugt drei unterschiedliche SCR Signale 1x8 Modus: Ausgang Nr. 2 erzeugt 8 SCR Signale, während Ausgang Nr. 1 und Nr. 3 wie bei einem klassischen Multischalter arbeiten und mit gewöhnlichen Satellitenreceivern verbunden werden können. Außerdem verfügt der SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY über 5 Stammausgänge (viermal Satellitensignal, einmal terrestrisches Signal), so dass hier eine Verbindung zu den Eingängen eines weiteren Multischalters hergestellt werden kann. Genau das haben wir in unserem Praxistest auch getan, mehr dazu aber später. Die Verarbeitung beider SPAUN Multischalter war absolut hervorragend und es gab nichts worüber wir uns hätten beschweren können. Die Datenblätter, die beiden Produkten beiliegen, enthalten sämtliche technische Spezifikationen und vor allem wichtige Hinweise für eine optimale Installation. Sie werden also keine Sekunde Zeit verlieren darüber nachzudenken was Sie womit verbinden sollen, alles ist eindeutig und fast selbsterklärend von Anfang an. Jeder der beiden Multischalter ist praktischerweise mit einem Steckernetzteilanschluss ausgerüstet, für das wiederum verschiedene, länderspezifische Adapter bereitstehen. Das Steckernetzteil kann mit einer Spannung im Bereich zwischen 100~240V a.c. 50/60 Hz umgehen und gibt 18V d.c. für den Multischalter aus. Unser Testaufbau beinhaltete eine Satellitenantenne, die auf den EUTELSAT16A auf 16° Ost ausgerichtet war und über ein Quad LNB verfügte. Wir verbanden nun die LNB Ausgänge mit dem SUS

■ In der TELE-satellite Ausgabe 12-01/2012 haben wir SPAUN’s UNiSEqC System mit dem ersten Multischalter der Serie, dem SUS 5581/33 NF, vorgestellt.

5581/33 NF LEGACY und stellten den an der Oberseite untergebrachten Schalter auf die für ein Quad LNB vorgeschriebene „22 kHz“ Position. Hätten wir ein Quattro LNB eingesetzt, so hätten wir den Schalter auf die „12V“ Position stellen müssen. Bevor wir die Einkabelsignale unter die Lupe nahmen wollten wir noch sichergehen, dass mit den regulären Satellitenausgangssignalen alles in Ordnung ist. Somit war unser erster Test ein Signalvergleich zwischen einem der vier Ausgänge unseres Quad LNB und dem Signal von Ausgang Nr. 1 und Nr. 3, wenn der SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY im Legacy Modus (1x8) arbeitet. Wie Sie anhand von Diagramm 1 erkennen können werden beide Ausgänge auf ca. 73 dBµV geregelt, das liegt exakt innerhalb der Spezifikationen von

SPAUN. Die Signalqualität ist praktisch unverändert, die MER ist nahezu identisch zwischen den beiden Ausgängen des SCR und dem Signal unseres Quad LNB (siehe Diagramm 2). Und was ist mit den Stammausgängen? Auch hier führten wir Vergleichsmessungen zwischen dem Originalausgangssignal unseres LNB und den Stammausgängen des SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY durch und stellten dabei einen Signalverlust von 1.62 dB fest, das liegt genau innerhalb der von SPAUN vorgegebenen Spezifikationen von 1 bis 2.5 dB Signalverlust. Natürlich überprüften wir auch, ob die Signalqualität an den Stammausgängen leidet, doch keine Spur: Im Durchschnitt nahm die MER um 0.21 dB ab, das ist fast nichts. Zusammenfassend ist also das Signal an den Stammausgängen des

■ Diagramm 1.

Multischalters nur marginal schlechter als das Originalausgangssignal unseres Quad LNB. Nachdem wir die konventionellen Satellitensignale getestet hatten ging es im nächsten Schritt weiter zu den SCR Signalen. Zu Beginn nahmen wir das 1x8 Signal auf Ausgang 2 unter die Lupe,

dessen Spektrum Abbildung 2 zeigt. Es ist sehr sauber und auch bei genauem Hinsehen sind keine Störsignale zu entdecken. Zudem verfügen die einzelnen Signale selbst über ein hervorragendes Carrierto-Noise Verhältnis. Auch unsere MER Messungen bestätigten, was schon aufgrund der Spektrumbilder zu erah-

nen war, die Signalqualität war hervorragend (siehe Abbildung 4). Wie man anhand von Abbildung 3 erkennen kann wird die Ausgangssignalleistung auf 90-95 dBµV reguliert, wobei der Pegel steigt, je höher die Frequenz wird. Das macht auch Sinn, denn die Dämpfung eines Koaxialkabels erhöht sich mit ansteigender Frequenz. Im nächsten Schritt änderten wir den Modus auf 3x3, bei dem jeder der drei Ausgänge (1 bis 3) drei verschiedene Signalträger erzeugt. Die Abbildungen 3 bis 5 zeigen Screenshots unseres Messgeräts und die Diagram-

me 5 und 6 stellen die gemessenen Signalpegel und MER Werte dar. Ebenso wie schon beim 1x8 Modus war auch im 3x3 Modus das C/N der Ausgangssignale perfekt und bei der MER Messung gab es lediglich eine minimale Verschlechterung. Keinerlei Unterschied konnten wir in unserem Test auch in Puncto Transpondersymbolrate feststellen, egal ob diese sehr hoch (30 Ms/s) oder sehr niedrig (2.5 Ms/s) war, der SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY verarbeitete die Signale fehlerfrei. Absolutes Highlight unseres Test war unser nun folgender Versuch, den SUS 5581 F di-

rekt mit dem SUS 5581/33 NF LEGACY zu verbinden, denn er lässt sich nicht nur mit einem Quattro LNB, sondern auch mit den Stammausgängen unseres ersten SCR betreiben. So erhalten Sie einen weiteren SCR, an den Sie wiederum bis zu 8 Receiver anschließen können. Abbildung 6 zeigt die Spektrumansicht des SUS 5581 F Ausgangs, an dem insgesamt 8 Träger mit je einem Transponder anliegen, der jeweils von einem der acht verbundenen Receiver angefordert wurde. Wiederum sah das Spektrum absolut perfekt aus und der Ausgangssignalpegel lag

genau bei 95 dBµV, so wie SPAUN es im technischen Datenblatt angibt, während die MER im Vergleich zum Originalsignal um 1.2 dB geringer war. Insgesamt also ein hervorragendes Ergebnis wenn man bedenkt, dass das Signal nicht nur einen sondern gleich zwei Multischalter passieren musste – siehe Diagramm 7 und 8. Nachdem wir unsere Tests mit Satellitensignalen durchgeführt hatten konnten wir natürlich nicht wiederstehen, diese auch mit terrestrischen Signalen zu wiederholen. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten war befanden sich auch hier alle Signalverluste exakt inner-

halb der vorgegebenen Parameter – gute Arbeit SPAUN! Zusammenfassend haben beide Multischalter eine hervorragende Leistung erbracht, und SPAUN hat genau das geliefert, was die technischen Datenblätter versprochen haben. Abschließend haben wir noch einen regulären Receiver mit unserem Testaufbau verbunden um zu sehen, ob auch in einem Einkabelnetzwerk weiterhin alle Transpon-

der zur Verfügung stehen. Und natürlich, wie könnte es anders sein, genau so war es der Fall! Die Kanalumschaltgeschwindigkeit war sehr schnell und tatsächlich ist es sogar so, dass falls Ihr Receiver darin nicht besonders gut ist der Einsatz von hochwertigen SCR Einkabellösungen wie z.B. denen von SPAUN hier eine deutliche Verbesserung erzeugen kann und so Ihre Freude am digitalen TVEmpfang weiter erhöht.

Tiviar App

Eine App zur Ergänzung des Tiviar Thomas Haring

In der vorherigen Ausgabe 07-08/2013 der TELE-audiovision haben wir Ihnen den Tiviar Receiver vorgestellt. Jetzt gibt es passend zum Gerät eine Smartphone/Tablet App namens Air Tivi+. Über Apples iTunes Store lässt sich Air Tivi+ kostenlos auf jedes beliebige iOS Device laden. Wichtig ist lediglich, dass sich der Tiviar Receiver und das iOS Device im selben Netzwerk befinden und eine WiFi Verbindung am Smartphone/Tablet vorhanden ist. Die App enthält in der untersten Zeile die Auswahl der verschiedenen Funktionen. Dabei handelt es sich konkret um: Channel, Schedule, Remote und

Settings. Hinter dem dem Punkt Remote verbirgt sich die vollständige Steuerung des Receivers über den Touchscreen des iPhone oder iPad. Aufgrund der unterschiedlich großen Displays bei iPhone und iPad unterscheidet sich die Anzeige der virtuellen Fernbedienung jeweils ein klein wenig. Im Test hat uns vor allem die verzögerungsfreie Reaktion des Receivers auf sämtlich via App übermittelte Befehle begeistert, zudem ist die virtuelle Fernbedienung (zumindest am iPad) aufgrund ihrer Größe natürlich deutlich übersichtlicher und leichter zu bedienen als das reale Original.

Wählt man nun einen der Sender aus, so beginnt der Receiver mit der live Übertragung des Programms. In einem kleinen Fenster zählt er von 10 gegen 0 und vertreibt dem Anwender so die

Im Praxistest waren wir natürlich besonders neugierig, ob das auch bei HDSendern funktionieren würde und in der Tat: bereits ein klein wenig vor Ablauf der 10 Sekunden zeigte uns die App das Videosignal eines HD-Senders. Im Verlauf unseres Praxistests stellten wir jedoch fest, dass die Übertragung von HD-Sendern die WiFi Verbindung relativ stark beansprucht, so dass es bei nicht optimaler Verbindung (z.B. zu große Entfernung zum WiFi Router) rasch zu Aussetzern in der Videowiedergabe kommt. Ein Problem, das bei SD-Sendern im Test nicht auftrat. Zur Versorgung der App mit Videosignalen kann jeweils einer der drei Tuner des Receivers herangezogen werden, während die beiden anderen weiterhin für Aufnahmen oder live TV am Fernseher zur Verfügung stehen. Problemlos ist es sogar möglich, die App mit einem dritten Programm zu verwenden,

während bereits zwei Aufnahmen unterschiedlicher Sender am Tiviar durchgeführt werden. Nicht nachvollziehen konnten wir beim Test, warum die Nummerierung der Kanalliste nicht mit der des Receivers überein. Das Streamen funktioniert übrigens nur, wenn der gewünschte Sender sofort verfügbar ist, d.h. die Besitzer einer DiSEqC Drehanlage, die naturgemäß einige Zeit benötigt um den Motor in die richtige Posi12 tion zu fahren, können die App derzeit nur mit dem gerade empfangenen Satelliten verwenden. Das Konzept der neuen Air Tivi+ App hat uns auf jeden Fall begeistert und wenn die noch vorhandenen Bugs beseitigt sind ist sie eine echte Bereicherung des Tiviar.

Hi-Fi Amplifier

Hi-Fi Sound for the Home Vitor Martins Augusto

When was the last time you heard music in really good quality? Not just „good“ stereo, but in a concert hall with good acoustics or even from a high class audiophile system? Maybe that‘s a long time ago, because nowadays audiophile sound quality is completely neglected. Most people nowadays are used to portable music players and of course it is great to carry around a large collection of albums in a

small mp3 player, mobile phone or iPod. But with such devices our hearing ability is pushed into the background, as the focus is about the quick consumption of music: anytime, anywhere. Home Hi-Fi systems were replaced by surround sound systems, which are basically optimized to reproduce sounds and noise coming from all directions, rather than trying to obtain the best music quality.

And so it comes that most people no longer are aware of how incredibly perfect music reproduction sounds and which dimensions, depth and plasticity can be achieved. This happened to me when I was able to test the Audolici A1/25 Integrated Amplifier. From the very first song by Joan Baez –“Diamonds and Rust”, the music flowed through me and gave me goose bumps; I closed my eyes and was formally conveyed to the 70s and before me she stood and

sang for me. When did I listen the last time to music in this way? I do not know exactly, but certainly a good 20 years ago. Back in the late 80s a proper Hi-Fi sound system was to be found in almost every household, but somehow this has changed in the 90s and especially in this new century. One encounters surround systems, media centres and home cinema, but listening to music on these AV receivers is just not the same. And so I dove into the

■ This is Valeriy Kuchkovskyi, founder and owner of Audolici. In his hands he is holding the incredible Hi-Fi amplifier A1/25. He has all reasons to smile: this is a truly exceptional amplifier.

world of music, spending hours listening to many amazing albums and discovering new details in the songs I already knew. All thanks to the A1/25, an audiophile class tube amplifier from Audolici. Very few will have ever heard of Audolici, so first a small introduction to this company. The history begins with Ukrainian Valeriy Kuchkovskyi who,back in the days of the Soviet Union, worked in the Ukraine as an engineer specialized in tubes. Do you still know what a tube is, also known as vacuum valve? These were used before transistors and transistors were used before the integrated chips IC became the norm and are used all over nowadays. Early on Valeriy started discovering the mysteries of audio circuits, especially the ones using tubes. Instead of just using well known schematics, he introduced his own ideas into the circuits. 15 years ago Valeriy moved to Portugal and in 2007 he founded his own company Audolici, in partnership with INESC Porto, the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering of the city of Porto, located in the upper north of Portugal. During a period of five very productive years, Audolici not only developed a variety of tube amplifiers, phono pre-amplifiers and studio equipment, building up simultaneously a network of specialized companies to provide components of the highest possible quality. The best known Audolici product developed within this period is the classic AUDOLICI-50 Series, featuring the Jazz, Swing and 108 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

Blues models. These are designed in the more typical appearance, in which we see the tubes and can guess the transformers at the rear. While this design is a delight to any audiophile, normal music lovers will struggle a little, because these amplifiers do not fit

in a normal rack, cannot be stacked with other audio components and therefore basically require a matching set of furniture. This will often cause some heavy discussion between the audiophile and his or her partner, even though the 50-AUDOLICI does look extremely

classy. The initial years of Audolici existence have been very important to get a better understanding of the very demanding audiophile market, too. Feedback came from all over the world and Audolici listened. And so it happened that Audolici has developed a

110 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

new approach to tube amplifiers and implemented it for the first time with the A1/25. It is a real tube amplifier, but in a classic amplifier housing. Indeed, it makes one immediately want to screw open the chassis cover to make sure that there really are tubes inside the receiver. And yes, 6 tubes reside inside, four tubes (type 6SL7) for the first stage and two tubes for the output power stage (the famous EL-34B). These are hand-picked, which may sound unbelievable, but it makes sense. Despite the utmost care in the production of the tubes, it is impossible to produce two tubes with absolutely identical properties. Valeriy therefore checks personally all the tubes used for each

amplifier and only uses tube pairs which sonically match. It is no secret that Russian tubes are considered the best and it‘s no coincidence that Valeriy knows all the best tubes and where to get them from Russia. But hold on: Audolici amplifiers are not of the handmade category: yes, the components on the board are soldered manually and all components are screwed together manually as well. But much more amazing is the amount of real development that has been gone into the production of the key components. The transformers for example are produced by a Portuguese company specialized in this area. Still, Audolici worked with this company over years, re-

searching the best production methods and properties to build the finest transformers for audiophile amplifiers. It is not just about how to wrap the coil: even the right composition for the ferrite core has been investigated. Another example is the black finishing of the case. Yes it is black, but it is neither piano shiny black, which perfectly reproduces any fingerprints, nor is it the matte kind of black, which looks a bit cheap. It is of the perfect smooth black kind, which I honestly never encountered before. Again, the reason for this unusual finishing comes from the fact that Audolici researched the most advanced materials and surface finishing techniques available and established partnerships to

both develop and produce the finishing of the casing. The result is a work of art and I have witnessed myself this commitment to excellence, because Valeriy is not unknown to me, as he lives like me in Porto and our professional paths have crossed many times in the past.

Yes, they are big but what great sound comes out of them. The small tweeters on top of the speakers complement them perfectly and despite their size they feature an amazing weight of around 3 Kg each. 3. The Audolici A1/25 was tested with the Sony CDP-X77ES, one of the best CD players ever built by Sony.

The Audolici A1/25 is not only design wise different from other tube amplifiers. It has another unusual point: its price. While an audiophile tube amplifier like the AUDOLICI-50 Jazz has a price tag of around 7500 Euros for the end user, the Audolici A1/25 aims at approximately half that price. This represents an unbeatable bargain for an amplifier of this class, particularly because Valeriy did not manage to make this amplifier sound worse than more expensive models. I was able to test this amplifier twice: first at my home and then in a proper auditorium for audiophile music systems, owned by a private collector and audiophile addict. This dual test enabled me on one hand to get to know the A1/25 in a familiar acoustic environment. On the other hand, it was also important for me to hear

the amplifier with speakers evenly matched in a truly optimized space, along with high class components. The first contact with the A1/25 is marked by the weight of the amplifier. Being used to the keywords „compact“ and „light“ – common marketing keywords nowadays - it is surprising how heavy a „real“ amplifier can be. The A1/25 brings an impressive 11.5 kg to the scale. The casing is perfect. An elegant front panel with only two knobs and a switch and a characteristic minimalist design. The left knob allows selection of the input (CD, Tuner, AUX 1 and AUX 2), while the right knob controls the volume. Both knobs are solid and heavy and have a high quality finishing.The volume knob uses an Alps 100k log potentiometer, which again is a sign that only the best components have been used

to build this equipment. The centre lever indicates the ON state by means of a green LED, which is integrated in the switch. The colour of my test equipment was graphite black, but the receiver is also available in silver. On the rear side, the A1/25 presents itself again with a high quality finishing. All RCA sockets are gold plated and the output terminals for the speaker use a WBT type binding post, which will totally satisfy the most demanding user. Although the unit is assembled by hand, the A1/25 by no means looks like a “do it yourself” amplifier, as opposed to many of the tube amplifiers to be encountered in the market from other brands. The manufacturing of the device is very professional as you would expect from a premium Hi-Fi component. The arrangement of the

■ After setting up the

amplifier we were ready to enjoy a long afternoon listening to a huge amount of CDs.

112 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

speaker output terminals indicates the internal architecture of the amplifier, for they are distributed symmetrically and allow the connection of only one pair of speakers, which may be of the 4-6 Ohm or 6-8 Ohm type. Having only output terminals for one pair of speakers cannot be regarded as a limitation, because the A1/25 is to be used with a matched high quality speaker pair and it would not make sense to connect more speakers, nor to spend money in the purchase of two speaker pairs. Instead, Audolici has been rather generous with the 4 inputs connector pairs. In this segment, it is not that usual to have this number of input connectors available, but it does make sense in the present days, since music lovers no longer want to swap cables to be able to alternate between different sources, like a CD

Testing the Audolici with the Best Available CDs player, a modern media player with a digital audio output connected through a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter - more on that later on), a tuner or a turntable through a phono preamplifier. Overall, the appearance of the A1/25 is discreet, classy, yet elegant. Although it is in principle a black box, you can immediately see that it is a special device. Sometimes less really is more. The cover is secured by 6 screws. Inside the case the tubes reveal themselves, since they occupy a third of the available space. The trick to the small hight of the A1/25 comes from the fact that the tubes are arranged horizontally, rather than the usual vertical position. A total of 6 units are installed, 3 for the left and 3 for the right audio channel. Like the speaker jacks the interior of the A1/25 is totally symmetrical, as is common in audiophile amplifiers. The printed circuit boards are of excellent quality and all the cables are of industrial grade with professional connectors. The device is the result of a remarkable feat of engineering, combining „Old School“ with the latest manufacturing techniques. Being located inPortugal offers unprecedented advantages, because when it comes to the production of very small series, many highly specialized companies are to be found in this region, offering sheet metal production, electrical cables, etc. The 11.5 kgweight of the amplifier is not only due to the robust and perfect body but mainly caused by the three transformers especially produced for this amplifier. These were prepared according to the specifications of Audolici in a specialized Portuguese company. This expertise has a tradition in Portugal, because major companies like Grundig were located in the vicinity, resulting in a network of suppliers.

- Dire Straits - Brother in Arms „Your Latest Trick“ Fantastic, the saxophone at the beginning of the song, then the voice of Mark Knopfler. The drums precisely positioned. The A1/25 reproduced this quiet song with a fabulous visibility and at great ease. I discovered in this song many new details. - Sade - Promise „The Sweetest Taboo“ A great album in which Sade‘s voice remains in the foreground and yet accompanied by a plethora of instruments and compositions. Here, too, the A1/25 provides full pleasure. If you close your eyes, you have Sade singing for you - an indescribable experience – surrounded by all the instruments and arrangements. - Pat Metheny Group - Travels „Goodbye“ This album has grown on me and it is by far the album I‘ve heard the most times in my life. Therefore, this double CD is in each of my audio tests. The track called „Goodbye“ especially evokes emotions in me. It is not easy for many amplifiers to reproduce the tender sounds at the beginning with the voice of Naná Vasconcelos drawing a fragility that does not require volume, but presence. The A1/25 mastered this. With the volume knob set to about half the quiet background composition had presence, while the voice was not too loud. Interestingly, the A1/25 requires the volume knob to be turned further than other amplifiers to get the same volume output.

- Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon „Time“ This song begins with a prelude that is difficult for many amplifiers: the clocks ticking and ringing. I was thrilled by the Audolici amplifier being able to bring to life each clock individually. Only the best amplifiers in the world will be able to resolve the panoply of ticking and ringing sounds with such a brilliance. But the rest of the song captivates the listener as well with the guitar solo leading the listener through time and space. I have to confess that I never experienced „Time“ by Pink Floyd like this before. Naturally, I kept on listening and “The Great Gig In The Sky” sounded just fabulous! - Arne Domnerus Group „Jazz at the Pawnshop“ Audiophiles know Jazz at the Pawnshop, as most audiophile stereos will be tested with this CD to start with. The reason is not only because this CD was incredibly well produced, but also because the recording was done in a club full of people. This CD is simply considered the best jazz live recording ever. Although the conditions were just far away from the ideal: you can also hear clinking cups, chairs being pushed and people coughing. But this is exactly the reason for the fascination about this CD. The Audolici A1/25 mastered this CD with flying colours. For me this means: close your eyes and wait so see whether the amplifier just manages to transport me into The Pawn Shop. Yes it does, I am sitting at a table and I‘m in for a great Jazz experience.

114 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

To test the amplifier at home I connected it to my vintage speakers produced by the German manufacturer Pilot. The bulky speakers have a pure and solid sound, because they come from the Hi-Fi heyday, the early 80‘s. To play CDs I used my CD/ DVD Player DVP-S715 from Sony – not the most expen-

sive device, but still fitted with a proper mechanism and individual CD and DVD heads. I have connected this player both through the internal DAC and an external DAC from Music Fidelity, the well-known V-DACII. To be able to fully take advantage of an amplifier in the 21st century there is no

way around using a modern media player. It is so much more comfortable to be able to browse in your own music library directly via a remote control, rather than having to constantly get up to change CDs. Therefore I connected a media player running the legendary “Xbox Media Centre” (XBMC), now available on

116 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

many platforms like the old Xbox, iPod, iPad, Android and even the Raspberry Pi. I used a Media-PC to run XBMC and connected it via the V-DACII to the A1/25. Interestingly, my media player gets the music over the network from a file server: analogue audio meets modern digital electronics.

What can I say about the amplifier? It is incredible! You experience music in a whole new context. It is as if one has seen his life through a matte glass, thinking that the sight was the normal one, when suddenly this glass is removed and you see the world in a sharpness and clarity like never before. This is how it felt to me. But just as you suddenly can see the image crystal clear you start to notice all faults as well. Suddenly you realize how bad mp3 actually sounds, due to the compression artefacts. Any mp3 file with a bitrate of less than 320MBPS simply makes no fun at all to listen to. Worse, one even discovers that some CDs do not sound so great either, because they have been badly produced. All this can not be noticed using a regular music player. To test the A1/25 I have therefore resorted to well-known recordings, which have been exceptionally well produced, meaning for example that you can locate all instruments in space: I have listened to these albums at home using CDs (with internal and external DAC) and using the media player (with the V-DACII). It was now time to repeat the listening in an audiophile environment. While the A1/25 was very tolerant with my speakers, CD player and theV-DACII, I wanted to see the hidden power of this valve amplifier when it had to feed proper audiophile speakers. I was lucky to be able to use a truly legendary classic audiophile speaker, the JBL Olympus C 50. As a CD player a Sony CDP-X77ES was used. Here the A1/25 could really show what‘s in it. I was already impressed with the sound quality in my home but now the A1/25 just produced a state of euphoria. It‘s so amazing to listen to well-

known CDs on this system. It is as if you were there, in the middle of the action - see my listening experience in the „ Testing the Audiolici with the Best Available CDs“ section. No question, the Audolici A1/25 reproduces a wellbalanced sound with a spectacular space. You close your eyes and can position the individual instruments around you. Especially acoustic instruments benefit from the valve amplifier. The Audolici A1/25 is a masterpiece in its category. Audolici has developed an amplifier that brings enthusiasm among audiophiles and yet at the same time this unit is affordable to a wider audience. The industry has neglected Hi-Fi sound in favour of the visual stimulation. Modern homes feature large TVs in HD resolution and surround sound, but with our ears we can achieve quicker and deeper relaxation and immersion in emotions. I wholeheartedly recommend to all ourTELE-audiovision readers to seek a demonstration of a real audiophile system, preferably of this

amazing amplifier. Even if you have no interest or possibility to buy it you should at least try it out and I am sure you‘ll hear the difference it makes to listen to a real outstanding audio system.

■ Inside of the A1/25. The

tidiness is the result of yearlong research and development. As expected, the amplifier is mainly symmetrically build. Here, the tubes are installed vertically, a unique concept. The two transformers have been especially designed.

Selfmade IPTV

Vitor Martins Augusto

Zum Thema IPTV findet man im Internet sehr viel Lektüre, doch diese ist oftmals nicht einfach zu verstehen, denn die Texte sind sehr langatmig und kompliziert und setzen einiges an Grundwissen voraus. Ein Grund für den schweren Einstieg in die Materie ist darin zu finden, dass die meisten Texte nicht für TVInstallateure gedacht sind, sondern für Netzwerk-Spezialisten und ITAdministratoren: zwei Welten stoßen hier zusammen! Unser Ziel ist es deshalb, Ihnen als TELE-audiovision Leser etwas Zeit zu sparen und direkt das wichtigste zu erklären. Der Einstieg in IPTV wird prinzipiell wegen diesen Schlagwörtern erschwert: TCP, UDP, RTP, Multicasting und Unicasting. Dabei handelt es sich aber gar nicht um weltbewegendes. TCP kennt praktisch jeder, der heutzutage einen Computer oder ein Tablet benutzt und damit in das Internet geht. Dieses Netzwerk-Protokoll reguliert die Kommunikation zwischen den verschiedenen Computern. Daten werden als kleine Pakete versendet, die vom Sender zum Empfänger von Computer zu Computer wandern. Damit ein Paket nicht verloren geht, enthält es die Adresse des Senders und des Empfängers. Außerdem enthält das Paket auch eine Checksumme, die sich aus den enthaltenen Daten errechnet und es so am Empfänger ermöglicht, festzustellen, ob das Paket auch korrekt und unversehrt angekommen ist. Das besondere an TCP ist, dass der Sender die einzelnen Pakete versendet, diese jedoch im Speicher belässt, bis vom Empfänger eine Bestätigung zum Empfang zurückkommt. Ist dies der Fall, kann der Sender die Daten des korrekt empfangenen Paketes vergessen, ansonsten wird dieses Paket erneut versendet und zwar solange, bis die Empfangsbestätigung zurückkommt. Die Reihenfolge in welcher die einzelnen Datenpakete empfangen werden ist nicht wichtig – sie werden am Empfänger wieder richtig einsortiert. Als Analogie kann man sich TCP wie eine Amateurfunk-Verbindung zweier Funker vorstellen: der erste sendet einen größeren Text und wartet nach jedem Satz, dass der zweite Funker den empfangenen Satz mit einem „Roger“ bestätigt. Hat er diesen nicht verstanden, wird er eben noch einmal gesendet. Für Datenübertragung ist dieses Pro-

The server sends one stream to the switch, but this time the stream is only forwarded to one specific client. Notice how the remaining ports are fully available for other communications. 3. Analogy of UDP: one transmitter sends information, regardless of how many listeners there are. Also, there is no feedback to the transmitter. If a listener misses a part or if he cannot correctly receive the transmission, there is nothing to do about it – the transmitter will never know! 4. Analogy of TCP: one transmitter sends information to one listener. The reception of every sentence has to be confirmed by the listener. If he missed the sentence or if he did not understand it clearly, the transmitter will send the sentence again.

4 tokoll ideal, denn es garantiert, dass die Daten korrekt und unversehrt ankommen. Für eine Live-Übertragung von Audio und/oder Video ist dieses Protokoll allerdings weniger gut geeignet, denn es gibt zwei Probleme: - Die Bilder (oder der Ton) müssen in der richtigen Reihenfolge ankommen. Was nützt es daher, wenn das dritte

Frame verloren gegangen ist und nach dem siebten erneut gesendet wird? - Die Checksumme ist überflüssig, denn wenn die Bilddaten eines Frames nicht korrekt empfangen wurden, dann ist es trotzdem zu spät, dieses Frame erneut zu senden. Wegen dieser Gründe eignet sich für Live-Übertragungen von Audio und Vi-

150 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

deo das UDP Protokoll. Hier handelt es sich um ein stark vereinfachtes Protokoll, in dem die Datenpakete ohne Checksumme versendet werden. Außerdem erwartet der Sender keinerlei Rückmeldung vom Empfänger. Tatsächlich ist es dem Sender im

Multicast-Modus sogar egal, wer überhaupt zuhört. Analog zu UDP kann man sich eine Radiosendung vorstellen: der Moderator liest die Nachrichten vor, ohne zu wissen wer zuhört und ohne zu wissen, wie gut der Empfang ist und ob der Zuhörer

one from the Topreal TP-1011 through ASI and one from the DekTec DTE-3137 through IP). It then multiplexes a new transponder which is output through ASI and IP (on a different IP). Amazing! 4. This picture shows one clear advantage of using only IPTV within a studio or head-end station: notice the blue network cable – this single cable is enough to transport all required information. Actually, all other cables could be removed (except for the LNB-cable, in case you want to use the internal tuner).

Bei RTP handelt es sich nicht um ein grundlegendes Protokoll wie TCP oder UDP. Im Gegenteil: RTP ist eine auf UDP aufbauende ProtokollSchicht. Das bedeutet, dass für RTP als Grundlage immer UDP benutzt wird. RTP bietet jedoch zusätzlich einige Funktionen, die die Audiound Video-Liveübertragungen enorm verbessern: - Identifikation der Daten - Zeitstempel zur Synchronisation zwischen Audio und Video - Einhaltung der Reihenfolge der MPEG Frames - Besonderer Umgang mit MPEG Key-Frames Es spricht alles dafür, RTP einzusetzen, wenn alle beteiligten Geräte dieses Protokoll unterstützen. Bei Multicasting wird ein Audio/Video-Stream einfach gesendet, ohne dass ein bestimmter Adressat angegeben wurde. Diese Sendung wird vom Netzwerk an alle Teilnehmer weitergereicht und diese können entscheiden, ob sie den Stream empfangen möchten, oder nicht. Dies ist natürlich immer dann sehr praktisch, wenn mehrere Benutzer denselben Stream empfangen möchten. Ohne dass weitere Netzwerk-Bandbreite zwischen dem Sender und dem Switch verbraucht wird, können so beliebig viele Benutzer zuschauen. Da der Switch allerdings

1. Wireshark capturing the network traffic. Beware that lots of data is captured during a IPTV broadcast. You should only capture data for some seconds, otherwise it will take ages to process all captured packets. 2. After capturing the network traffic for a short period, there are many analysis tools available within Wireshark. This picture shows where the traffic originated. It can be clearly seen that the devices with IP-address 192.168.1.149 and 192.168.1.210 generated a huge amount of traffic. Notice the destination IP: they are multicasting IPs 3. All captured packets can be analyzed individually and the contents can be viewed, while the header is shown in a more detailed way.

sämtliche Datenpakete intern verwalten muss kommt es schnell vor, dass dieser überlastet wird, wenn es sich um ein billiges SOHOProdukt („Small Office, Home Office“) handelt und parallel zwischen den verschiedenen Benutzern noch weitere Daten untereinander ausge-

tauscht werden. Wenn man dann zum Beispiel Benutzer 2 gar nicht am Multicast teilhaben will, sondern eine größere Datei zum Benutzer 3 senden möchte, kann es passieren, dass diese Datenübertragung nur zähflüssig oder eben gar nicht mehr funktioniert. Um Multicasting

154 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

einzusetzen, reicht es, als IP-Zieladresse eine beliebige IP-Adresse von 224.0.0.0 bis 239.255.255.255 zu konfigurieren. Dieser Adressraum wird von allen beteiligten Geräten für Multicast verwendet. Ganz nebenbei: Multicast wird nicht nur für IPTV ge-

This graph shows the bandwidth of the same transmission, but as Bits/ second. With just two transponders fed into the network, a 100MBPS switch is working at its limit. In fact, we tried to use a 100MBPS switch and it froze

nutzt, sondern immer dann, wenn die gleichen Daten an mehrere Computer gleichzeitig gesendet werden sollen, zum Beispiel wenn man über das Netzwerk mehrere Computer auf einmal installieren möchte. So installieren IT-Profis zum Beispiel in Universitäten oder in Großbetrieben auf hunderten von Computern deren Betriebssystem in einem Durchgang. Beim Unicasting wird der Stream im Gegensatz zum Multicasting vom Sender nur an einen gezielten Empfänger versendet. Dies hat

after a few seconds. A regular operation was only possible using a 1000MBPS switch. 6. Using DekTec’s StreamXpert software, which already has been tested in TELE-satellite 11-12/2012, together with the professional DekTec DTE-3137 receiver, one has much more feedback about the IPTV broadcast. Notice the lower left corner: a graph shows

continuously the occupied network bandwidth. 7. StreamXpert can show all possible information about the streamed transponder, including the programme clock reference (PCR), required for correct synchronization of audio and video. This allows editing the timestamps in order to compensate for any detected errors.

den Vorteil, dass das Netzwerk für die restlichen Benutzer nicht belastet wird und deren Datenverkehr deshalb normal funktioniert. Im Switch werden die Daten zwischen den Eingängen des Servers und des Benutzers geleitet, die restlichen Ports des Switches bleiben jedoch frei. Nachteilig ist der Umstand, dass für jeden weiteren Benutzer der gesamte Stream separat erneut versendet werden muss. Schnell ist somit die verfügbare Bandbreite des Netzwerkes überlastet und

156 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

besonders die Verbindung vom Server zum Switch muss der enormen Datenmenge standhalten können. Schnell kommt die Frage, ob man IPTV mit 100MBPS oder doch lieber mit 1000MBPS (oft auch 1GBPS

oder 1GBit/s bezeichnet) betreiben soll. Die Antwort ist nicht leicht, denn es hängt ultimativ davon ab, wie man IPTV und das Netzwerk nutzen möchte. Wenn lediglich verschiedene Receiver einzelne Transponder über Uni-

cast zu einem oder mehreren Multiplexer leiten sollen, dann kann durchaus ein 100MBPS Netzwerk ausreichen. Oftmals verfügen professionelle Receiver nur über 100MBPS Netzwerkschnittstellen, was in Anbetracht der Bandbreite

8. Despite having a perfect picture, StreamXpert indicates some errors in PAT and PMT. Interestingly; these were already present in the original DVB-S stream… 9. Useful information provided by StreamXpert: the grid view, where all active services within the stream are mapped according to their PID. 10. Meanwhile, we monitor our Dexing NDS3975 with the SnmpNMS management software. This application gives us remote access to the internals of this integrated professional receiver. 11. On the Mux-tab, we can specify which channels of the three different incoming transponders (through the internal tuner, ASI-in and IPTV) we want to output.

gängiger DVB-S/S2 Transponder, die im Durchschnitt 50MBPS an Daten transportieren, auch ausreichen sollte. Auch alle uns bekannten IPTV-Receiver verfügen nur über einen 100MBPS Netzwerkanschluss. Warum also auf eine 1000MBPS Infrastruktur aufrüsten? Am Einfachsten lässt es sich so erklären: wenn Autos nur mit 90 km/h fahren können, dann reicht im Prinzip eine Landstraße. Wenn aber viele Autos gleichzeitig fahren, dann lohnt sich eine Autobahn trotzdem, obwohl die Autos nur mit maximal 90km/h fahren. Ein 100MBPS-Switch ist für diese Geschwindigkeit ausgelegt und neigt dazu in die Knie zu gehen, wenn an allen Ports gleichzeitig hohe Transferraten anfallen. Ein 1000MBPS-Switch kann intern einfach viel mehr Daten verarbeiten. Möchte man eine Gemeinschaftsanalage, ein Hotel

oder ein Haus mit IPTV versorgen, bei dem das Netzwerk auch für andere Dienste (Internet, File Sharing, VOIP, usw.) zuständig sein soll, dann empfehlen wir ausdrücklich ein 1000MBPS Netzwerk. Dies gilt in heutigen Tagen sowieso als Standard und ein Upgrade von einem existierenden 100MBPS Netzwerk auf ein 1000MBPS Netzwerk sollte keine größeren Probleme bereiten, wenn es sich beim verlegten Kabel um Kabel der Kategorie CAT-5e oder CAT-6 handelt.

Ist dies nicht der Fall, sollte das Kabel durch aktuelles CAT-6 Kabel ersetzt werden. Weiterhin müssen die Switches gewechselt werden und bei älteren Computern sollte man darauf achten, ob der Netzwerkadapter auch für 1000MBPS ausgelegt ist. Um sich einen Überblick des Netzwerkes zu verschaffen, lohnt es sich sogenannte „Netzwerk-Monitoring Programme“, oft auch „Netzwerk-Sniffer“ genannt, einzusetzen. Diese Programme protokollieren alle Datenpa-

kete, die im Netzwerk versendet werden. Damit dies technisch möglich ist, muss man eine besondere Software einsetzen, die sich WinPcap nennt. WinPcap versetzt die Netzwerkkarte des Computers in den „promiscuos“ Modus, in welchem die Netzwerkkarte alle Datenpakete annimmt, also nicht nur die gezielt an den Rechner versendeten Pakete, sondern alle. Weiterhin bietet WinPcap eine Schnittstelle für Applikationen an, die so Zugriff auf diese Datenpakete

bekommen. Das bekannteste und beliebteste Programm zur Netzwerküberwachung ist Wireshark. Die Grundvoraussetzung ist WinPcap und schon kann der gesamte Datenverkehr protokolliert werden. So erkennt man schnell, welche IP-Adressen welche Pakete von welchen Computern anfordern, ob im Netzwerk Multicasting eingesetzt wird, welche Bandbreiten belegt werden, usw. Die gute Nachricht: WinPcap und Wireshark sind kostenlos. Sei es im Studio oder in der Kopfstation: IPTV etabliert sich zu einer omnipräsenten Lösung, wenn es um die Verteilung von Audio- und VideoSignalen geht. Es ergeben sich viele Vorteile, egal ob IPTV für die interne Verteilung innerhalb einer Kopfstation genutzt wird oder beim direkten Zuspielen zum Endkunden. Alleine der Umstand, dass sämtliche Daten über nur ein Kabel versendet werden können ist es wert, sich mit dieser Technik auseinander zu setzen. 12. To check our IPTV streams within the network, we use VLC. 13. TSReader Professional is an excellent tool when it comes to analyze transponder streams. Instead of just rendering the channel, TSReader shows all PIDs and their respective bandwidth.

Ultra High Definition Television

What‘s behind the new standard? Is it even a standard? Jacek Pawlowski

We all are familair with High Definition Television. HDTV uses picture resolutions of either 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The first two are used for broadcasting TV via satellites while the last one is mostly used with Blu-ray discs. A HDTV video signal has either 50 or 60 picture frames per second. If a complete picture is sent in every frame, the letter “p” is added after the resolution figure (720p or 1080p). If only half the horizontal lines are sent in one frame (only odd number lines, then only even number lines and so on), the letter “i” depicts such interlaced video. Most of the contemporary satellite TV receivers upscale any 720p or 1080i video signals to 1080p and then output the video to your living room TV. Now, if we focus on the best version of HDTV – 1080p – it has a picture resolution of 1920 x 1080. The new 4K UHDTV standard has doubled the resolution in both axes to 3840 × 2160 while the 8K UHDTV has even quadrupled it: 7680 × 4320. The best way to realize how big an improvement UHDTV introduces is to look at our simple picture showing TV screens for different standards but the same pixel size (see picture). Imagine this: 4K is like arranging 4 HD TV-sets in a 2x2 array, while for 8K UHDTV one would need 8 HD TVs arranged in a 4x4 array! Though resolution is the most obvious improvement over classical HDTV it is by no means the only parameter that has been changed. The other two related to video are: color space and frame rate. UHDTV has a wider color space than HDTV. In particular, UHDTV picture is able to reproduce more deeply red and more deeply green colors which can not be shown by our existing HDTV equipment. In this way, UHDTV is able to reproduce more natural colors. The standard extends the allowable frame rates up to 120 frames per second. In this way 3D video can be reproduced with up to 60 fps for each eye. 60 fps are typical for North American TV whilst 50

■ Comparison of the TV screens for different resolution standards. fps is used in most other areas including Europe. Therefore European 3D TV will use 100 fps rather than 120 fps. Adding to these enormous improvements in video performance, UHDTV also expanded the audio quality. With the new UHDTV standard an astounding 22 audio channels plus 2 low frequency effects channels are possible. The 22 channels are divided into three groups: an upper layer of nine channels, a middle layer of ten channels and a lower layer of three channels. Such complex audio setups can be found at movie theatres and thus with UHDTV this also becomes available to the average viewer. Of course, the first thing in order to enjoy that big resolution is a UHDTV compliant TV monitor. The best TV manufacturers already offer 4K UHDTV TV-sets with large screen (70” or more). Monitors capable of showing 8K can be seen at the professional broadcasting exhibitions but sofar we know of no such monitor available at regular stores. Now, what about the sources of ultra HD video? Presently, the choice is extremely small. One model of UHDTV video player has been announced with a few pre-stored movies in 4K format on the internal HDD. Blu-ray Disc Association have just started their work on extending Blu-Ray Disc specification to include 4K Ultra HD video. Similarly, Sony announced that their PlayStation 4 will support 4K resolution but only for photos and videos – not for the games themselves. And what is going on in the satellite industry? In Europe EUTELSAT has started 4K UHD test transmissions coded with the MPEG-4 codec on EUTELSAT 10A. Quite recently, SES has done one step further and started a 4K channel coded with the newest HEVC (H.265) codec that helped reducing the necessary bitrate down to 20 Mbit/sec. You do not have to be an expert to

realize that 4K UHDTV requires 4 times more bits than HDTV and 8K UHDTVrequires 16 times more bits. This is really a problem because the communication networks have finite throughput rates. HEVC, known also as H.265, can help here as its efficiency is roughly 2 times better than MPEG 4. But even using the best available codec you still need about 20 Mbit/sec for 4K UHDTV and as much as 80 Mbits/sec to broadcast a single channel. And all this for 50/60 fps. If you liked to double the frame rate to 100/120 to transmit 3D UHDTV you would need twice the bandwidth. It is funny to think that if in the future 8K is introduced to satellite broadcast, one transponder will be carrying a maximum one channel – like in the old days of analog TV. The list of devices and standards that still have to be developed or extended is long: UHDTV cameras and other studio equipment, HDMI interface, audio equipment, and, of course, all kinds of digital TV receivers: satellite, cable, IPTV and (maybe) terrestrial. New equipment will require new chip-sets and perhaps even new hardware architecture to do the job efficiently. UHDTV is not backward compatible with HDTV. In other words, your present HDTV receiver will not process a UHDTV channel. Naturally, in the beginning, there will be a scarcity of ultra high resolution programs and many UHDTV channels will be created by up-scaling regular HDTV. We can still remember the first years of HDTV or more recently 3D HDTV – the same will happen with UHDTV. However, despite all the technology, communication and media problems linked with UHDTV, we strongly believe that the race has started for good and sooner or later we will all enjoy the wonderful ultra high definition pictures in our houses.

Firmen Report

Digital TV Großhändler, Island

Heimelektronik mit TV und Antennen Im Oktober 2013 feierte das kleine Unternehmen Oreind (www.oreind.is) sein 25jähriges Bestehen. Wer so lange in der TV und Antennen Branche durchhält muß etwas richtig machen. Öreind (das Wort bedeutet „Partikel“ in isländisch) ist ein 2-Mann-Unternehmen in Kopavogur, einem Vorort von Reykjavik in Island. Dort im hohen Norden der Erde, in dem im Sommer die Sonne nicht untergeht und im Winter nicht aufgeht, haben die beiden in 1988 ihr Unternehmen gegründet. „Wir sind beides Reparaturtechniker für TV-Geräte,“ erzählt uns einer der Partner, Baldur Sveinsson. Beide arbeiteten für andere Unternehmen, bevor sie sich entschieden, ihr eigenes Unternehmen aufzumachen. „Wir reparieren alles, was mit Heimelektronik zu tun hat,“ listet Baldur Sveinsson auf, „vom TV-Gerät zu Audiogeräten aller Art bis hin zu Videorekordern.“ Ja, letztere gibt es auch noch, denn viele Isländer haben noch alte Cassetten zuhause und benötigen die alten VCR um sie abzuspielen. Die beiden Partner installieren auch Antennen und Satellitenanlagen. „In 1992 begannen wir, Satellitenbauteile aus Großbritannien und Deutschland zu importieren.“ In diesen Anfangsjahren konnten die beiden 50-100 Komplettanlagen pro Jahr verkaufen. „Unser bestes Jahr war 2007. Damals konnten wir 300-400 Sa-

tellitenanlagen im Jahr absetzen,“ erinnert sich Partner Sigurour Gunnarsson an diese Zeiten, als das kleine Unternehmen sogar zwei Angestellte tragen konnte. „Heutzutage sind es etwa 150 Satellitenanlagen, die wir im Jahr verkaufen.“ Das Lager von Öreind ist gut gefüllt mit Installationsmaterial, Satellitenspiegeln und terrestrischen Antennen. „Etwa 40% unseres Umsatzes machen wir mit Satellitenbauteilen, 10% mit terrestrischen Antennen und 20% entfallen auf Reparaturarbeiten.“ Bleiben 30% übrig und dies sehen die beiden

Partner als besonders wichtig für die Zukunft ihres Unternehmens an: „Wir bieten Installatonsmaterial und Bauteile für IPTV an.“ Zwar erwarten die beiden auch durch die Umstellung des digitalen TVs auf DVB-T2 in wenigen Jahren einen kleinen Boom, aber langfristig sehen sie die Zukunft im Bereich IPTV. Aber der Satellitenempfang wird weiterhin wichtig im Angebot von Öreind bleiben. „Hier in Island ist besonders der ASTRA auf 28.2E beliebt und schon mit kleinen Antennen von 85cm Durchmesser durchgehend gut zu empfan-

gen.“ Praktisch jeder Isländer ist zweisprachig, spricht englisch und kann daher die Programme aus Großbritannien vom ASTRA 28.2E geniessen. „Wer freie Sicht hat, kann hier die Satelliten von 42E bis hin zu 30W emfangen,“ erläutert Sigurour Gunnarsson die lokale Situation. Die beiden Partner haben in den 25 Jahren ihres Unternehmens viele Auf- und Abs mitgemacht, aber alle überstanden. So werden sie mit der rechtzeitigen Hinwendung auf künftige Technologien wie IPTV auch die weiteren Jahre gut überstehen.

■ Sigurour Gunnarsson ist ebenfalls Gründer und Partner von Öreind und kümmert sich vor allem um die Reparaturwerkstatt.

Hier gibt es alles zur Montage von Antennen (linkes Regal) und Satellitenspiegel aller Größen zum Mitnehmen (rechtes Regal). 3. Welche Antenne darf's denn sein? Am beliebtesten bei Öreind sind die 14 Element UHF-Antennen, gleich gefolgt von den Runddipol Antennen für FM. Aber auch alle anderen Varianten sind vorhanden und können von den Kunden sofort mitgenommen werden. 4. Hier liegen die Produkte der Zukunft: für IPTV hält Öreind die passenden Bauteile wie Ethernet Switches bereit.

Katastrophenhilfe

Satelliten-TV hilft den Opfern, sich zu informieren Wie kann man sich nach einm verheerenden Erdbeben informieren, wenn die Infrastruktur zu großen Teilen zerstört ist? Kabelgebundene Kommunikationswege und auch die Stromversorgungsnetzwerke sind nicht mehr verfügbar und gerade dann wollen und müssen sich die betroffenen Menschen informieren, wie die Situation ist, wo Hilfe zu erwarten ist und wie sie sich verhalten sollen. Genau diese Situation eines verheerenden Erdbebens traf besonders die Region Sichuan bereits zweimal in den letzten Jahren mit katastrophalen Ausmassen. Das erst Mal war es am 12.

Mai 2008, als ein Erdbeben der Stärke 10 bei der Stadt Wen Chua mehr als 20000 Menschen sterben ließ. Ein weiteres ähnlich katastrophales Erdbeben erfolgte kürzlich am 20. April 2013 in der Stadt Ya An, ebenfalls in der Provinz Sichuan. Beide Male reagierte die Firma Changhong sofort. Changhong ist einer der ganz großen Hersteller von TV-Geräten und Satelliten-Receivern und stellte den Betroffenen komplette Satelliten Empfangsanlagen zur Verfügung. Aber nicht nur diese wurde bereitgestellt. Ein Sprecher von Changhong erzählt uns: „Noch in derselben Nacht, als

2008 das große Erdbeben stattfand, stellte Changhong eine Hilfsgruppe zusammen, die sich sofort in die am schlimmsten betroffene Stadt Bei Chuan aufmachte. Die Stadt war fast völlig zerstört und Changhong stellte Essen, Wasser und Zelte zur Verfügung.“ Da praktisch alle Schulen vom Beben zerstört waren funktionierte Changhong sein eigenes Trainingszentrum um und ermöglichte es so den überlebenden Schülern, in den folgenden Wochen und Monaten weiterzulernen. Der Changhong Sprecher: „Changhong stellte den Schülern und Studenten Kleidung und Essen zur Verfügung und organisierte

198 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2013 — www.TELE-audiovision.com

die Lehrer, bis die regulären Schulen wieder eröffneten.“ Als 2013 ds zweite verheerende Erdbeben stattfand wiederholte Changhong die Hilfsmassnahmen. Auch diesmal stellte Changhong neben der humanitären Hilfe auch Satellitenprodukte zur Verfügung. „Wir lieferten in die betroffenen Gebiete Satelliten Receiver mit Spiegeln, TV-Geräte, Batterien und auch Lichtquellen. So konnten die betroffenen Menschen sich über die TV-Nachrichten der Satellitenprogramme über das Geschehen informieren.“ Wie wichtig gerade in solchen Extremsituation die Satellitenkommunika-

tion ist hat sich in beiden Fällen gezeigt. Während fest installierte Kommunikationswege nicht mehr funktionsfähig waren gelang es, mit den Satelliten Empfangsanlagen die Betroffenen umfassend zu informieren und sie nicht nur über das Geschehene zu unterrichten, sondern sie auch über die Hilfsangebote aller Art informiert zu halten.“ So konnte die Not der betroffenen Menschen dank der Hilfe von Changhong zu einem guten Teil gelindert werden und es zeigte

sich wieder einmal, dass der Einsatzbereich gerade der Satellitentechnik Vorteile bringt, die man sonst nicht wahrnimmt.

Mianyang, Sichuan

■ Spontan hat sich

die Belegschaft von Changhong dazu entschlossen, den Betroffenen der Erdbebenkatastrophen in Sichuan zu helfen.

• OEM delivering exclusively to Wholesalers • Specializes in large production quantities • Produces millions of satellite dishes and LNBs It’s not easy to find women in leading positions in the digital TV business and it’s even rarer for women to actually start a company in this business. But that’s exactly what Anna Xie did: she started a website from nothing and in just 10 years built it up into China’s largest site for digital TV. It’s an exciting story that we wanted to hear about directly from her.

Shanghai’s Minhang District. Anna rented expansive office space on the fifth floor of a modern office building. 10 employees work there although DVBCN has an additional 13 employees. But more on that later. First we wanted to know how Anna managed to turn her website into China’s largest site for digital TV.

She explains to us: “I come from Wenzhou in the Zhejiang Province.” This province is located south of Shanghai;

Anna studied at the university in Shanghai. “I studied TV and radio journalism.” That was in 2001. And she was still a brand new student when she started her website DVBCN in 2002 (www. dvbcn.com). “At first it was just a forum to discuss technical information.” As you can tell by the website’s name, her forum dealt back then primarily with the new DVB technology. “We made available for download all documents,

“By 2004 we already had 80,000 registered users”, remembers Anna about the quickly growing popularity of her website. “We also offered the source codes for DVB applications and DVB analyzer information.” A natural development of her download forum website was the start of a discussion page and not long after that a news page was started. Today DVBCN is the most viewed website in China for anyone that in one form or another is connected with digital TV. Technicians can find not only valuable information for their work on the DVBCN site, but

Manu Distr Whol Shop R Serv

even those employees in marketing use DVBCN for up to date information on digital TV trade shows and exhibitions. Today DVBCN has over 200,000 registered users.

At the moment www.51dtv.com is only available in Chinese but Anna is in the process of creating an English version that would make it easier for companies

news and test reports on DVBCN. He is DVBCN’s Chief Editor.

Anna Xie

■Anna Xie is founder and owner of DVBCN, the largest website for digital TV in China (www.dvbcn.com). Recently DVBCN began cooperating with TELE-satellite. The first DVBCN ad appeared in the TELE-satellite issue that Anna is holding in her hand.

But that was still not enough for Anna - in 2011 she founded yet another business segment in her own company: Digital Technology Ltd. develops digital TV software. This segment immediately caught on; this is the company with the additional 13 employees we had mentioned earlier, although they’re not located in Shanghai. “10 engineers work in an office in Hangzhou plus one additional engineer each in Shenzhen, Chengdu and Beijing.”

in the Northpoint Business Park with its two buildings and attached warehouse.

Tim Heinrichs from DMS

Then came the turning point in Tim Heinrichs’ evening job: a farmer bought that dish from him. “That’s when it all started, next I bought two new dishes.” That was in 1980 and it was at this point that Tim Heinrichs recognized that there was a new business brewing. He sold and installed these dish antennas at a faster and faster rate. The breakthrough came in 1982: “I invested $40,000 and bought my first truckload of dishes - it was 500 three-meter antennas.” Tim Heinrichs young company became a satellite wholesaler. 186 TELE-satellite International — The World‘s Largest Digital TV Trade Magazine — 09-10/2012 — www.TELE-satellite.com

For many years DMS International was a small company with very few employees: It was Vicky and Tim along with one or two warehouse and administrative employees. “Today we have 10 employees with a warehouse that is 14,000 Sq-ft in size.” Up until recently DMS International was mainly focused on the North American market, “that is, the USA, Canada and Mexico”, explains Tim. As recently as 2009/2010

“At first I worked both jobs; my regular job at the railroad and at nights and weekends at my own company DMS International.” That only worked for a few months: he had to make a decision and naturally he chose his own company. “My wife Vicky worked along side me from the beginning; at first she took care of the books and now she’s the

In 1991 another big decision had to be made: the market in Nebraska was covered so in order to better expand his business the decision was made to move his company to Atlanta, Georgia. DMS International can still be found there today. “Transportation costs are cheaper here”, rationalizes Tim regarding this decision and then grins as he adds, “Besides, the weather is much better here.” Sure enough, the company experienced quite a boom in business. Vicky provides us with a few sales figures: “In 1991 DMS managed sales of roughly $2.0 million.” The company’s best year was 2008: “Back then we had sales of $12 million.

A small family business has managed to become one of the most well-known names in the North American cable and satellite TV signal analyzer market. It’s the perfect reason for us to go and pay Applied Instruments in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, a visit only to find out that the company is expanding into the international market with its products that are Made in USA.

Wholesaler and Manufacturer MEGASAT, Germany

Who’s behind Applied Instruments? It really is a family-owned business. It was founded exactly 25 years ago in 1986 by Doyle Haywood, the father of the current General Manager Tom Haywood. His son Scott Haywood also works for the company as a sales manager.

128 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-11/2011 — www.TELE-satellite.com

When we look back at when it all started, we find out that there’s even more history behind the company’s founder Doyle Haywood: he founded a company back in 1973 that produced signal 1 for cable TV. In 1979 he sold analyzers that company to a large corporation. But when he came up with the idea to develop clean reliable test signal generators for CATV, he quickly founded a new company: Applied Instruments. His

From here the path to satellite signal analyzers was not a long one. “In 1998 we introduced the first satellite signal analyzer from the ‘Buddy’ series”, comments Tom Haywood.

The new company originally began with three employees, one of whom was David Poelstra, a research engineer that worked together with Doyle Haywood in the first company. In 1990 they released their first successful product to the market – a cable TV signal analyzer that not only was easy to use but was also affordable. Over the years other analyzers appeared. “In order to test long cable lengths, we produced a Return Path Test Set”, remembers General Manager Tom Haywood, “It consisted of a CW Test Signal Generator that was attached to one end of the long cable and a receiver at the other end. In this way we could check the quality of the cable.”

The Sat Buddy quickly became known and loved by North American satellite installers and over the years was consistently improved and fitted with new features. Scott Haywood, Tom Haywood’s son and third generation in the company, is a sales manager at Applied Instruments and tells us about the newest Buddy version: “It’s the Super Buddy 29 and in addition to letting you measure satellite TV signals, it can also be used to install the Wildblue Internetvia–satellite service. These LNBs require 29 volts that the Super Buddy 29 can supply, hence the ‘29’ in the model name.”

to noise testing”, comments Tom Haywood.

www.TELE-audiovision.com/TELE-satellite-1111/huber+suhner.pdf When his mother, the wife of founder Doyle Haywood, began to have health issues, his father decided to leave the company and sell 50% ownership of the company to Tom Haywood. The other 50% was sold to Jeff Haas. Both are enthusiastic with the opportunity to further expand Applied Instruments. But the company doesn’t only manufacture signal analyzers that are used at the receiving end. An especially interesting highlight is the Noise Power Ratio testing product that manufacturers of amplifiers, optical transmitters and receivers, and other active devices can use to test the operating range of their products. It consists of a noise generator that sends its signal to the receiver to be tested and a corresponding signal analyzer that measures the output signal from the tested receiver.

General Manager Tom Haywood explains to us their product palette: “80% of our sales are made up of reception signal analyzers, 10% are test generators with the remaining 10% made up of complete systems consisting of signal generators and signal analyzers.” And as far as sales figures go, he tells us, “For the past several years sales have been stable at about US$ 5.5 million but for 2012 we are expecting roughly a 10% increase.” COMPANY REPORT

But this is what will change in the company’s 25th year of operation: “We are actively looking for competent distributors in Europe, The Middle East and Asia.” It is critical for Applied Instruments to find technically competent partners: “Our products are not throwaway products; they are solidly built and can be repaired if the need were to ever arise.” Technical customer service is actually quite important when dealing with products like signal analyzers; professional installers use signal analyzers on a daily basis and can thereby document a proper installation. Reliability and help with technical problems are excellent reasons why an installer would want to choose a quality product from a manufacturer that he knows will support him later on.

Where will this increase come from? Sales Manager Scott Haywood has a few answers for us: “We are currently developing a signal analyzer for DVB-S2 that will become available in the fourth quarter of 2011. We are also working on terrestrial signal analyzers for ATSC and QAM that will appear in the first quarter of 2012.” 138 TELE-satellite — Global Digital TV Magazine — 10-11/2011 — www.TELE-satellite.com

In 1994 MMDS (Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service), also known as wireless cable, gained widespread use primarily in rural areas and Applied Instruments was there providing the appropriate signal analyzers.

sons together make for quite an argument that exporting his dishes is a good move to make. Slimane Ait Yala: “I was just at the Canton trade show in southern China and found out that our prices are competitive.” And there’s still another reason: BYA is not a small company; they produce quite a few other products and thus have plenty of experience as a manufacturer.

Ain El Bia (Oran, Algeria)

Alexander Wiese

Thomson still existed in France and BYA started off as an assembly line for Thomson’s TV sets. Not long after that, they began assembling analog satellite receivers followed shortly thereafter by digital receivers. “Back then we had 90 employees”, remembers Slimane Ait Yala, “and we had sales equivalent to about eight million Euros.” BYA was at

The 16,000 squaremeter production plant can be found in the city of Ain El Bia. This city, with 20,000 inhabitants, is located about 35km east of the second largest city in Algeria: Oran with roughly 1.6 million people. The Port Arzew harbor is right next to Ain El Bia; this is where Algeria’s national oil company Sonatrach loads its oil tankers. And this is the first reason why Slimane Ait Yala is confident that the dishes he manufactures will be successful in the export market: “Algeria is an oil-producing country”, he explains, “and that means that the energy costs in Algeria are very low.” He follows right away with the second reason: “Wages in Algeria are also very low; the official minimum wage is about 100 Euros.”

reasons to expect success in the strongly contested satellite dish market? It won’t be easy for BYA, but there are several

reasons which would make one optimistic. Slimane Ait Yala, founder of BYA, gives us the reasons for this optimism.

Zhuhai sits right next to Macao and slowly but surely is attracting more and more satellite component manufacturers. But one of the first of these manufacturers was Boiingsat; it has been in exis-

tence since 1997. However it all really started in Taiwan. Hoawen Chiang, General Manager of the company who was also born in Taiwan, explains to us how it all began.

“In 1996 I was a Production Manager at an LNB manufacturer in Taiwan. But things didn’t go exactly as I had planned so in 1997 I along with three investors founded Boiingsat in Zhuhai, China”,

The main reason for moving from Taiwan to China was obviously the costs. Wages in China are still lower than that of Taiwan. “But we still have a small R&D office in Taiwan with three engineers”, says Hoawen Chiang. Thus far the technical expertise in Taiwan is somewhat more advanced than in Mainland China at least as far as high frequency LNBs are concerned. “Back then we started with 30 employees and produced 20,000 C-band LNBs every month”, he says looking back. In 2002 Boiingsat started a second produc-

tion plant which they used to manufacture 240,000 C-band LNBs every month. 2004 became rather turbulent: “We sold our first production facility and then built a new one for Ku-band LNBs.” Now with 500 employees, production climbed to 350,000 C-band LNBs per month and 150,000 Ku-band LNBs per month.

The next expansion step took place in 2008: “We constructed our third factory this time for production of die-cast housings.” With

TV-Sets and Receiver Manufacturer Bomare Company, Algeria

Bomare Company: a new OEM Manufacturer

Birtouta (Algiers)

In 2005 the European Union entered into an agreement with the Democratic Peoples Republic of Algeria to support economic cooperation between the two. This agreement provides an interesting opportunity for satellite receiver manufacturers and, in the case of the Algerian Bomare Company, also for TV manufacturers. Actually, Bomare Company produces both products. For 2011

1. Annie greets visitors at the reception desk

Bomare Company has decided to take their products and service capabilities to the European market. We paid a visit to Bomare Company’s production facility in Birtouta, about 20km from Algiers, and had a look around.

2. Yunnjye Qin is co-owner of Boiingsat and in charge of production. 3. Jason Chiang is the son of the company’s founder and designated successor to the Captain’s chair. Here in the showroom he shows us one of the company’s specialties: a four-way combination with 4 x C-band LNB. This LNB lets four receivers receive four C-band satellites independently from each other; this setup is especially in demand in Indonesia.

The industrial city of Birtouta is very conveniently located: the airport, harbor and numerous highways are all within easy reach. It is an excellent location especially for a company that wants to expand its export business. It all started many years ago with the distribution of satellite receivers. The founder, Ali Boumediene imported receivers from South Korea and sold them locally. But for him it wasn’t

enough: one day it dawned on him that he could assemble these receivers on his own production line. Together with a South Korean manufacturer that supported him with not only the components but also the “know-how” in setting up an assembly line, Ali Boumediene started his own production in 2001. Back then 20 employees assembled digital receivers using the supplied components. Today Bomare Company has 120 employees. Right from the start Ali Boumediene had a great idea: he chose the brand name “Stream System” for his line of receiver products. An excellent choice considering that in today’s IPTV age everything revolves around streaming. But lets get back to the beginning: in 2003 Ali Boumediene took the next expansion step. He created his own production line for power supplies and then in 2006 he took one more step by

In 2013 we expect that 30% of our sales will be from LEDs with the rest coming from LNB production.” OK, now the picture is getting clearer. But back to LNBs. Sales Manager Jason

COMPANY REPORT

Fiber Optic and CATV Manufacturer Prevail, China

Prevail’s Perfect Organization

• Substantially Increased Sales for 2011 Thanks to Rising Exports • Additional Factory Soon to be in Operation • Increased Number of Employees

• Four New SMT Machines in Operation • Very Active R&D Team

A recipe for the continued success of a manufacturer is a wellorganized operation. A perfect example of this would have to be the Chinese manufacturer Prevail located in Hangzhou, the capital of the Zhejiang Province which is south of Shanghai. This company manufactures fiber optic products, CATV components and professional digital TV modulators and accessories for signal distribution.

Hangzhou

The first thing you notice when you visit Prevail is how neat and clean the entire factory is; nothing is out of place. Another small detail are the uniforms that the employees wear. It’s not out of the ordinary to see workers on an assembly line wear uniforms, but at Prevail the office workers also wear uniforms. For the visitor it

becomes immediately clear that the work here is very disciplined and organized. And of course the products themselves would also be associated with this high standard. To confirm this we paid a visit to the three manufacturing plants and had a look around; a fourth factory is currently under construction. Necy-xu is General Manager Sales & Marketing and provides us with a little history about the company: “Prevail was founded in 2001 by Managing Director Xu Quanhai along with ten other partners.” The company is in private hands and continues to manufacture the same product groups that it did at the beginning: fiber optic products, CATV components and accessories as well as distributors and splitters for coaxial cable lines. Necy-xu remembers the early days: “In our first year 2001 we had sales of roughly 50 million RMB (5 million Euros) with about 100 employees. 70% were domestic sales and the rest were exported.”

Helen

For 2010, however, this changed considerably. Necy-xu revealed to us that now only 50% of their products are sold domestically in China; exports have increased markedly. To what countries and regions does Prevail export to? Helen is Prevail’s International Sales Manager and tells us, “40% of our exports end up in the south Asian region and this includes India, Pakistan, Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. 30% land in South America, 20% go to Europe and the rest go to The Middle East, North America and Africa.”

Necy-xu adds that sales in South America have picked up quite a bit and that Prevail is shipping more and more products to that region: “The cable TV providers there are expanding

The Chinese large manufacturer Jiuzhou is very well known by our readers. The company originated in Sichuan and has been in existence since 1958. In 2008 they celebrated their 50th birthday (see TELE-satellite issue 02-03/2008). In 2009 the company expanded into HDTV and in 2010 terrestrial TV was the theme. In 2011 Jiuzhou is planning on taking a huge step further into the IPTV market with enormous production numbers. Huang Wei is Jiuzhou’s Sales Director and reveals to us what Jiuzhou has planned for 2011.

First, though, Sales Director Huang Wei took us on a trip into the past: “The first IPTV boxes were manufactured by Jiuzhou in 2007; back then about 20,000 boxes were produced and involved pure IPTV boxes.” Production numbers only increased slowly. “In 2010 we produced 60,000 boxes”, comments Huang Wei. But 2011 looks to be completely different: “We will be manufacturing a minimum of 200,000 boxes and it could go as high as one million.” It all depends on negotiations that are currently in progress with a variety of retail chains in North America as well as Europe. The reason: these retail chains are in

It was only in the following year, 2007, that we were able to generate a modest turnover.” In case you’re curious about the exact figure: it was 250,000 US$ in 2007. Tevii has come a long way since and expects sales reaching 2.2 million US$ in 2010 and even 3 million US$ the year after. Talk about rocksolid business! Obviously, staff numbers have also increased so that “today we have 28 employees, a whopping 18 of which are engineers in Research and Development.”

There is another feature which shows that PCIe cards from NetUP are designed for the professional high-end market: “We are now beginning to ship our cards based on the ALTERA chipset.” What makes this so special? Well, the hardware is identical for each customer and only the software on the PCIe card defines its scope of application. “In the third quarter of 2011 we will also base our 2 x DVB-S2 card – which was presented in TELE-satellite – on the ALTERA chipset,” NetUP Sales Manager Konstantin Emelyanov adds.

Shenzhen

One company that is fully concentrated on the development of their products is the young firm Tenow from Shenzhen, China. PC cards are manufactured although the actual production process is outsourced allowing Tenow to focus their efforts on Development and Marketing. Also interesting to note about Tenow: the company is run by four partners and all four of them work together as a team to further expand their young company. Tenow is in the process of setting up a new office in Shenzhen’s large High-Tech Park. When we paid them a visit, we went to their old office located directly next to the Shen Da Metro Station on route 1.

Speaking of products already introduced in TELE-satellite: The NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x can be ordered with an H.264 encoder/transconder as of Q3 2011. Things get even more exciting towards the end of 2011 when “we will offer the DVB-IP Gateway 4x with unicast.” This will make the device – which hitherto is only available as a multicast model – even more user-friendly and will also allow laymen to distribute their TV channels via the Internet.

Head of Software Development, Andrew Budkin, has another piece of interesting news in store. “It makes economic sense for some providers of Internet-via-satellite only to use the base band which saves valuable bandwidth.” This is why NetUP has decided to develop PC cards with precisely that strategy in mind. “Large utilities might be extremely interested in that technology,” adds Abylay Ospan and has the following example: “Gazprom uses this one-way technology for its local networks.”

Isn’t ‘young’ and ‘know-how’ a contradiction in terms? In many cases it is, but if we’re talking about know-how in the making, the two terms go together very nicely. ‘Young’ in such a case is an asset, as it means there’s no obligation to depend on past developments. So where can we find a perfect example for ‘young’ meets ‘knowhow’? If we’re talking about digital technology Russia springs to mind. And if we support our assumption with the fact that Moscow State University is ranked right among all the top-notch universities in the world when it comes to digital technology teaching and research, then Russia seems to be spot on!

Actually, it’s a triple hit: NetUP, a company founded as recently as 2001, has its administrative office in the vicinity of Moscow State University. The closest metro Station is ‘University’ and the two founders of NetUP are – naturally! – former students of that university. Actually, it’s not only the two founders who are Moscow State University graduates, but almost all other employees as well. It’s clear for all to see that NetUP pools together collective digital technology know-how, while everybody working at NetUP is still very young.

Let’s start with Abylay Ospan, who is one of the company’s founders and acts as Director: “I’m 30 years old,” he says smilingly. His founding partner is Evgeniy Makeev who holds a PhD in mathematics and only just turned 29. Both care deeply about anything to do with digital technology, which is a clear indication that they have turned hobby into profession. We ask Abylay Ospan to give us

It’s not only since the DVB-IP Gateway 4x test report that readers of TELE-satellite might be familiar with NetUP. This device allows setting up your own IPTV network in next to no time (TELEsatellite 10-11/2010). Even before that TELEsatellite reported on a world first launched by NetUP: A DVB-S2 card with two inputs (TELEsatellite 02-03/2010).

Of course we wanted to learn more about that product line, and Abylay Ospan has the details. “We develop everything in-house. Both software and hardware (circuit board layout) have been designed by our very own engineers.”

a brief run-down of the events leading to the establishment of NetUP. “When we still were students we were working on billing software for Internet service providers.” He was still in his final semester at university when Abylay Ospan teamed up with his colleague Evgeniy Makeev to set up their own business, which offered exactly that billing software to potential customers. The point in time could not have been better. While in their first year of operation sales never exceeded five-digit USD figures, from year two onwards turnover increased consistently. It was the time when ISPs sprung up all over the CIS countries, and most of them turned to NetUP for software solutions. “More than 2,000 ISPs currently rely on our billing software, with 90% of them being located in CIS countries,” NetUP Sales Manager Konstantin Emelyanov proudly states. “Small and medium-sized providers in particular like our software solution, which is ideal for a client base of up to 50,000.” Even the company name is derived from that strategy: Network Up – a company that takes care of network expansion.

Andrew Budkin is the head of Software Development and knows precisely the amount of effort put into such a project. “For the DVB-S2 card two of our engineers worked together for half a year until the

NetUP has added another business segment to its portfolio in the meantime, which fits in smoothly with the original software business for ISPs: NetUP is now also developing software and hardware for IPTV. “IPTV has already gained a 70% share of our turnover,” NetUP Director Abylay Ospan reveals and adds “annual sales are high in the one-figure million USD this year.” As a matter of fact, it has become difficult to differentiate between software for ISPs and IPTV, as many Internet service providers have become IPTV providers as well. “For those providers we offer middleware, videoon-demand servers and streaming servers,” Abylay Ospan explains.

A closer look at the Tevii product range lends additional support to that theory. When the company was established in 2007 it offered two products: the S400 DVB-S PC card and the S600 USB box for use with laptop computers. “Both products came with a tuner sourced from Sharp, which was replaced with a NIM tuner from Serit at the beginning of 2008.” Since then the product designations have changed to S420 and S630. When the DVB-S era slowly came to an end and DVB-S2 was just around the corner Tevii launched successor models S464 as PC card and S660 as USB box for laptop use at the end of 2008. And – wouldn’t you know it – the Tevii S470 was introduced in 2009 just when the whole world was turning to PCIe (PCI Express) slots as a replacement for older PC slots. At the end of 2010 new demand was met with the launch of a PC card with dual tuner – the model name is S480 and it sports two DVB-S2 tuners.

used wisely. Deciding on the right time is the key to economic success.

“We have always focused on PC cards for satellite reception. And for laptop users our range includes USB boxes as well,” Matthias Liu explains. Incidentally, Matthias himself has no engineering background, but a dependable gut feeling for what the market needs. “For each product we sit down and evaluate whether expected sales will justify – and ultimately pay for – development costs,” he explains. It comes as now surprise, then, that the R&D department is the core element of the Tevii business model. Actual production is outsourced to third-party manufacturers in Taiwan as well in Shenzen in mainland China. “The trick is to come up with the right product at the right time,” Matthias Liu states and illustrates this credo with an example: “Right now there is so much talk about DVB-T2, for example, even though this is a technology that will only start to penetrate markets in about two years. By the time that happens our own DVB-T2 products will also be ready for take-off.” There’s no point in being the first, it is a waste of valuable resources that can only be brought to fruition if

When this company was taken over by another player I took the decision to become self-employed.” Some of his former colleagues were equally impressed with his envisaged business strategy and so they decided to jump on board as well. “Tevii started with a total workforce of only eight people,” Matthias recalls on his walk down memory lane. “It’s never easy to start from

This output supplies the 0.95 to 5.45 GHz frequency range to a 1.5-meter long coax cable which connects to the F-IRS ODU32 (Outdoor Unit). Global Invacom opted to use N-type connectors on this coax cable. “These connectors are perfect for use with this high frequency range and above all are excellent watertight connectors”, explains Ivan Horrocks the reason why standard “F” connectors weren’t used.

sales of US$ 80 million while the remaining product groups produced sales of US$ 30 million”, says Jianbiao Zhu. He continues, “In 2010 we are expecting an increase to US$ 100 million in receiver sales with the remaining product groups increasing to US$ 35 million.”

During the tour of the facility, Jianbiao Zhu, Overseas Marketing Department Manager, told us there are a total of 1500 employees, 1100 in production and 400 in administration. “Last year we had 1200 employees but in 2010 we added 300 additional employees”, he explained to us. Business seems to be booming at YINHE!

What are these other product groups? “We are one of the largest PC housing manufacturers; we also produce satellite dishes as well as professional receiver components for cable headends .”

YINHE was founded in 1975 and at that time it was a state-run company that had the goal of producing China’s first memory chips for use in the large computer systems of that time. “It all started with 50 employees”, Jianbiao says as he looks back at the old days. In 2000 the ownership structure changed and it became a privately run company made up of 40 share-owners. “But all of that could possibly change“, reveals Jianbiao Zhu, “We’re planning to go public this year on the Shenzhen stock exchange.” The goal is to acquire additional capital for expansion.

receivers end up in The Middle East, 20% go to Europe including the CIS countries and Southeast Asia, another 15% go to Australia, 10% to Africa and 5% to South America.” It should come as no surprise that YINHE operates offices in critical regions namely in Dubai since 2003 and in Australia since 2005. “This year 2010 we plan to open two additional offices in Sao Paolo and Moscow. We are also looking to open an office in Chennai in 2011”, confirms Jianbiao.

But TELE-satellite is primarily interested in receivers, so let’s get back to that. “Satellite receiver development started in 1997”, remembers Jianbiao Zhu, “and in 1998 we produced 10,000 receivers.” This number increased at a tremendous rate: “In 2009 we produced 3.6 million boxes and in 2010 we expect production of four million boxes”, he reveals and then adds, “In both years two million receivers were sold domestically in China; the rest were exported.”

The best export countries are Australia with DVB-T receivers in MPEG-4 and HD as well as India with DVB-C boxes in MPEG-2 and SD. “We want to expand our distribution in Europe including the CIS countries with DVB-T MPEG-4, DVB-T2 MPEG-4 and DVB-S2 receivers”, comments Jianbiao Zhu. He adds, “60% of our exports are satellite receivers, 30% are terrestrial receivers and 10% are cable receivers.”

We wanted to know more about the export side of things: where does YINHE export to? Jianbiao Zhu takes a look at his laptop and then says, “30% of our

Another interesting note: with a market segment of about 10%, YINHE is one of the largest providers of cable receivers domestically in China.

Fibre Optic Products by Global Invacom

Global Invacom goes Fibre DTT

■ Ivan Horrocks, Global Invacom’s Director of

Alexander Wiese

The British company Global Invacom is best known to TELE-satellite readers as the inventor and manufacturer of the sensational fibre optic LNB system (see TELE-satellite issues 04-05/2008 and 08-09/2009). With an optical system distances are no longer a factor since the attenuation in a fibre optic cable is next to nothing. It’s an absolutely great system except for one thing: these days people want not just satellite TV but digital terrestrial TV channels as well. Up until now, that meant once again that you needed two separate cables routed to the TV; one for satellite signals and the other for terrestrial digital TV TELE-satellite World www.TELE-satellite.com/...

That was yesterday! Today one single optical cable is enough to transport both satellite and terrestrial signals. Global Invacom has expanded their system to include DTT signals as well. Ivan Horrocks, Director Sales and Marketing, explains to us how this works: “We took the satellite signal carried in the optical cable and combined it with the DTT signal; now both signal formats can be carried on one optical cable.”

For this purpose, Global Invacom developed a new system that will be marketed under the nickname “Wholeband”, or more officially, F-IRS (Fibre Integrated Reception System). But first we want to take a quick look again at how Global Invacom’s optical system works: the optical LNB (universal LNB) takes the four satellite frequency ranges, that is, the upper and lower bands in both horizontal and vertical polarizations, and “stacks” them on top of each other so that all four bands are carried over the optical cable in one frequency range. Each of these four bands covers 1000 MHz and if you place them one on top of the other you get a bandwidth of 4000 MHz.

their head office in Althorne (Essex).

In order to do that, Global Invacom had to modify their LNB system: the optical LNB already has the laser built into it so that the optical cable can be connected directly to the LNB. To include terrestrial signals, Global Invacom could have added a second connector on the LNB for the terrestrial antenna along with the necessary electronics. “This would have been theoretically possible”, says Ivan Horrocks, “but it really doesn’t make any sense since the LNB would have become too heavy and bulky. Not to mention it would have created problems for installers in that

Chinese high volume manufacturer YINHE is one of the top ﬁve producers in China. Although this company is well know within China, it is only the insiders that recognize the name YINHE outside the country since abroad it is only an ODM. In other words, the YINHE designed boxes (Original Design) are marketed by other companies, primarily dealers and programming operators, under their own brand name. YINHE therefore is just the manufacturer (hence ODM) and for the time being it will stay that way. There are no plans for YINHE to dive into the export market with Zhangjiagang, their own brand name. What does Jiangsu it look like inside one of these high volume manufacturing plants? TELE-satellite wanted to ﬁnd out.

Satellite Consultant, China

Aluo-sat Knows Everybody! Somebody active in the satellite field in China can hardly get around meeting Luo Shi Gang sooner or later. Not only because he’s been distributing TELEsatellite in China for many years, but also because he is a high-profile figure in many other satellite areas as well. Since China is entering the DTH age in 2009 now is a good time for visiting Luo Shi Gang in his office in Shenzhen.

Luo has named his company Aluo-sat for a simple reason: In the Cantonese dialect spoken in southern China an ‘a’ is often prefixed to the first name of a person. So Luo becomes Aluo. Originally, Luo comes from Sichuan in China’s southwest. He studied electrical engineering and got his first job at a company producing electronic components for the Chinese military in Lanzhou City in the northwest. Among other things, his first employer also manufactured satellite equipment. Luo e

Dish Manufacturer PT Subur Semesta, Indonesia

Arabic Indonesian Bulgarian Czech German English Spanish Farsi French Greek Croatian Italian Hungarian Mandarin Dutch Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Swedish Turkish

The company PT Subur Semesta was founded in 1978 in Jakarta on Java, one of the 17,000 islands that make up Indonesia. 60% of the 220 million inhabitants can be found on Java of which 15 million live in the capital city Jakarta – it could even be a few million more. To be noticed here you need an extremely bright star and it is for that reason that PT Subur Semesta uses the planet Venus as their trademark. The wonderful ambiguity with the God of Love Venus can only make you smile. One of the founders of the company, Liong Ten Fook, came up with the name – an ingenious idea!

Thiang Tiong An

PT Subur Semesta entered the satellite arena in 1989 when they began to offer analog satellite receivers. In 2000 the ﬁrst digital receiver appeared and in 2002 it all turned really serious when the production of satellite dishes began. In the meantime the company expanded its management: Tjia Tek Ijoe climbed aboard as a partner. Today PT Subur Semesta is run by these three partners. A large amount of money was invested in 2004 explains Tjia Tek Ijoe: “We acquired a machine press so that we could manufacture the dish segments ourselves.” Heavy investment in the company occurred again one year later: “We bought a powder painting system to spray paint the segments.” But it was still not enough. Tjia Tek Ijoe revealed to us that there’s yet another large investment: “We invested another USD 600,000 for the fabrication of mesh antennas. This lets us produce 20,000 dishes every month.”

In western Jakarta, not too far from the international airport, can be found PT Subur Semesta, brand name Venus. The ofﬁces are at the front of the building with the windows, and towards the back are the factory buildings that house the machines to manufacture the dish antennas.

PT Subur Semesta organizes seminars for installers eight times a year. Distributors send their technical people to learn how to quickly and efﬁciently set up a packaged 1.8-meter antenna with dual-feed LNB. To make these seminars even more attractive, time limits are set and winners are announced. Food and drink is also taken care of as can be seen by the accommodation tent in the background. A large loudspeaker is also set up there to keep the young installers happy with loud music. Each seminar handles 60 installers where they are taught to install a dish such that the dual-feed can successfully receive PALAPA C2 at 113° east and TELKOM at 108° east.

Those are large numbers; we wanted to know how many solid antennas are being manufactured today: “At the moment, our production capacity is at about 15,000 antennas per month of which the majority are sold domestically”, explained Thiang Tiong An, “Our company supplies approximately 15% of the Indonesian market.” Of their total production, 80% is delivered domestically, the rest is exported. According to Thiang Tiong An, “40% of our dish production goes to Thailand and Vietnam, the remainder goes to Brunei with a small percentage going to Australia.”

expect 10% more.” 50% of their sales are attributed to TVRO products such as dishes and the installation of satellite receivers as well as the sale of imported actuators and LNBs. Then there’s also the sale of their “homemade” 2in1 and 4in1 products: that would be Combi-feeds for Cband LNBs with offsets of 5° with the 2in1 and 5° -2.5° -5° with the 4in1. Unfortunately, PT Subur Semesta can’t really hope for any large business with this product since it’s so easy to copy it. Tjia Tak Ijoe gave us a look

The installers take great care to remain within the preset time limits. That would be 45 minutes from the box to successful reception using a dual-feed LNB and 75 minutes for the successful set up of a motorized system. Since Jakarta is located so close to the Equator, the declination angles are very small.

“Naturally we want to expand our exports”, explains Tjia Tek Ijoe, “We are investing heavily in quality.” PT Subur Semesta

variously sized dots (the larger the dot, the more visitors) on a world map. And, wouldn’t you know it, that is exactly the technology that Alan was looking for with his idea to display satellite positions.

As a student in aereodynamics, writing his thesis, he’s completely at home working with PC programming. “I got my ﬁrst PC when I was 16. It was a C64”, remembers Alan about his early software programming days. “It must have been in 2004 when I came across Multimaps; it’s a collection of geographic maps.”

He extracted his old idea from the back of his mind and began with a new sense of purpose to ﬁnd a solution – and then promptly stumbled onto Google Maps.

He came up with the idea to incorporate the display of satellite positions on these maps as a way to help with the set up of satellite dishes. But how was this going to work? These were ﬁxed maps in differing display sizes. Alan could have programmed something but it would have required a lot of time and effort. So he dropped the idea; it would have been too much work.

But Liong Ten Fook was not the only founder; his partner was back then and still is now Thiang Tiong An. “We originally started as a telephone accessory factory. Later on we added emergency lights, that is, lights with built in batteries that are used everywhere whenever there is a power outage”, remembers Liong Ten Fook.

In 2005 he started a web site (www.uksatellitehelp.co.uk) in which he provided helpful tips on how to properly set up a satellite dish. To get an idea of how successful his website was, he enlisted the aid of Google Analytics, a free service that analyzes in great detail the trafﬁc of a website. TELE-satellite also uses this service. Google Analytics also contains a tool that graphically displays the geographical location of a website’s visitors by displaying

That was the ﬁrst step. Now Dishpointer “knows” exactly where a user is and automatically sets the reception location to this point. This may not always be very precise; it depends on the accuracy of the virtual IP addresses compared to the real addresses. Next, Alan analyzed the popularity of satellites so that

“I get the satellite data from SatcoDX”, explains Alan. In a cooperative venture, Alan has linked his Dishpointer live to SatcoDX. “In this way the Dishpointer data is always up to date; changes are immediately incorporated.”

What does the future look like for Dishpointer? “Customer-oriented solutions are my business goals”, revealed Alan, “One of my customers is a program provider: he wants to show his users (private viewers) as simply as possible how to erect a satellite antenna and what they can receive with it.” The Dishpointer version for these customers is reduced to display only the data from that programming provider. “Another customer operates cruise ships and wants to know what channels he can receive in any port.” For this customer Alan developed a Dishpointer version that displays only those

Dishpointer, when started, can immediately display those satellites that would likely be of most interest. Lastly, Alan expanded Dishpointer so that a click would display any remaining receivable satellites as well as the receivable channels.

With Dishpointer, Alan managed to link two worldwide services that are constantly concerned with being up to date: Google Maps and SatcoDX. He thereby created something new!

One of the most critical questions that come up before the erection of a satellite antenna is how to properly position the antenna so that the desired satellite can be received. In which direction should the dish be pointed? To the east? To the west? This would be its azimuth. And then how far up into the sky should the dish look? This would be its elevation. Actually, it’s really not that hard to ﬁgure this information out; there are plenty of calculation aides and prepared tables that give you all the data you need. But if you do a little extra work, as Alan did with his Dishpointer software, you’ll discover completely new results.

USALS Celebrates 10 Years Every TELE-satellite reader is familiar with the term USALS. In the Technical Data table of every receiver test report there is a line that identiﬁes whether or not the receiver is USALS compatible. Today, almost every receiver on the market comes with USALS. But USALS is not just a group of letters; there’s actually a human behind this term!

STAB started early on building antenna motors. In the beginning it was rotors for VHF/UHF TV antennas and when satellite reception became popular in the 1990’s, they expanded to offering an assortment of satellite antenna motors. “It was 1995”, remembers Giorgio Bergamini, when a few of the early satellite receiver manufacturers got together with EUTELSAT and developed the DiSEqC protocol. In 1997 it was ofﬁcially introduced and included DiSEqC 1.0 for individual LNBs, DiSEqC 1.1 for two LNBs and, DiSEqC 1.2 for antenna motors.

So far no manufacturers have signed on to this idea.

For the individual satellite installer that doesn’t need a speciﬁc Dishpointer version,

Alan added a small additional feature to Dishpointer: the installer can use it to determine ahead of time if buildings or other obstacles might interfere with reception. “A potential satellite system can be tested in advance and without any cost.” Alan is quite proud of his Dishpointer program. Dishpointer is a software solution that very simply and precisely can answer all questions regarding the planned erection of a satellite antenna system at a particular location. Well done, Alan!

Dishpointer Application Examples Dishpointer is used to determine ahead of time what satellites are actually receivable, how the antenna needs to be aligned and what channels can be expected on these satellites. Since Google Maps delivers very precise information, an actual site survey may in many cases not even be necessary. Let’s take for example a satellite dealer in Dubai who wants to attract new customers and has the opportunity to erect satellite dishes in the parking lot of the Al-Ghurair Shopping Center. What satellites can he receive from that spot? Scenario 1: he transports his three-meter antenna to the parking lot and checks to see what he can receive. Scenario 2: he sits in front of his PC and goes to www.dishpointer.com

This is what it looks like in the Al-Ghurair Shopping Mall parking lot. Al Rigga Street is to the far left, a Mosque is to the right around which the shopping mall was built. What satellites can be received from here? Were the apartments above the shopping mall built too high to allow a direct lineof-sight view to the satellites?

Click on a desired position on the map and the azimuth and elevation of a selected satellite is displayed. “Now it was only a question of programming in order to integrate additional features”, explains Alan about his work the last several months. The first step was: why should a user first have to click on a map or enter an address when the IP number alone identifies the position?

Satelliten Uplink Speedcast, Barueri, SP, Brasilien

7 Uplink Spiegel und viele-viele Empfangsspiegel Modern und gut organisiert präsentiert sich die Uplinkstation von Speedcast in Barueri im Westen von Sao Paulo. Mit 7 großen Spiegeln, auf die wir später noch eingehen werden, und einer Vielzahl von kleinen und größeren Spiegel, die nur zum Empfang dienen, gehört Speedcast zu den Großen in Brasilien. Das Unternehmen zählt unter vielen anderen die TV-Programme Rede TV und SBT zu seinen Kunden. Auf ein Ereignis ist Speedcast besonders stolz: das Unternehmen besorgte den Uplink für die allerersten HDTV Sendungen in

Brasilien - das war in 2008 und betraf Rede TV und TV Bandeirantes. Henrique Antonini ist einer der Sendetechniker bei Speedcast und er erzählt uns mehr über das Unternehmen: „Gegründet wurde Speedcast in 2003 von Alfonso Aurin und Luciano Esteves.“ Beides sind Ingenieure und Alfonso Aurin war lange Jahre Technischer Leiter des Senders SBT, einem TV-Programm, das 1981 gegründet worden war und dessen Hauptquartier

sich in Oscasco befindet - das ist gleich der nächste Ort neben Barueri. Aber die ersten Dienstleistungen des jungen Unternehmens Speedcast waren in 2003 nicht der TV-Uplink, sondern VSAT-Dienste. Das änderte sich radikal in 2005: VSAT wurde komplett aufgegeben und nun startete Speedcast mit vollem Einsatz in den Bereich TV-Uplink. „Der erste Uplink-Spiegel

war unser 9m Spiegel, der heute noch genauso im Einsatz ist.“ Bald folgten weitere Spiegel, einer mit 7,3m und im Laufe der Jahre insgesamt 4 UplinkSpiegel mit 3,6m und einer mit 4,5m. Die vielen Uplink-Spiegel dienen nicht nur dem Uplink regulärer TV-Programme, sondern zunehmend auch für Business TV. Der prominenteste Kunde ist Volkswagen, die regelmßig zu festen

Zeiten ihre Mitarbeiter informieren. „Wir verfügen hier sogar über ein eigenes kleines Studio, in dem diese Business TV Sendungen produziert werden.“ Weitere Kunden im Business TV Bereich sind NCR, die Bank PanAmerican, Johnson Batteries und der Business TV Dienstleister TV Oficina Brasil. 2007 konnte Speedcast eine Zusammenarbeit mit EUTELSAT vereinbaren.

Seitdem betreibt Speedcast die Monitoringstation für Südamerika für EUTELSAT. Henrique Antonio erzählt uns, wie das geht: „Die EUTELSAT-Techniker können von ihrem Hauptquartier in Paris aus direkt auf unsere Anlage zugreifen und damit live die Signale überprüfen.“ Im gleichn Jahr 2007 erweiterte Speedcast auch seine Technik und kann seit dem alle Sendungen in 16:9 verar-

beiten. 2010 folgte der Upgrade auf 3D. Insgesamt arbeiten heute bei Speedcast 34 Mitarbeiter, 15 davon im Hauptquartier und die übrigen sind als Techniker vorwiegend im Außendienst bei den Kunden tätig. In 10 Jahren hat sich Speedcast eine hervorrgande Basis im Bereich TV-Uplink geschaffen. In Brasilien gehört das Unternehmen zu den ersten Adressen in diesem Bereich.

TELE-audiovision HISTORY

TELE-audiovision in 1993

Years Ago Everything at once from SPAUN

Cover page of TELE-satellite 06-07/2002

For all viewers that have access to two satellites, SPAUN electronics offers an interesting solution Each single viewer needs one sat relais SAR 207 F and a Sat switching generator sUG 7000 F. Switching is done by toggling the 0/5 V control voltage from the receiver's polarizer input, activating the generator, which then delivers a 7 kHz signal to the relais. No control cable is needed and the units can also serve as the building blocks of a four-viewer system.

Ultra High Definition HDTV

Edited by

Branislav Pekic

EUROPE TRICOLOR TV TESTS ULTRA HD STANDARD

Russian satellite TV operator Tricolor TV plans to carry out broadcasts using the Ultra HD standard, reports Tass-Telecom. Offering 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution, the new standard is four times higher than the existing Full HD resolution. The broadcasts will be carried out over the 84-inch 3D TV from LG supporting Ultra HD. A transponder on the Eutelsat 36A satellite will be used to show the UHDTV content under the MPEG-4 standard at 40 Mbps.

EUTELSAT, FRANCE TELEVISION AIR 4K FROM ROLAND GARROS

Eutelsat has teamed up with France Televisions, ATEME and 4Ever during the Roland Garros tennis tournament to promote 4K UHDTV. Visitors to the event were able to see live images shot by 4K cameras. This was the first trial that included the new HEVC codec and live feeds for reception on PC, tablet and PC.

HISPASAT, LG TO PROMOTE ULTRA HD

Spanish satellite operator Hispasat and LG Espana have reached an agreement to promote the development of TV in Ultra HD. As part of the deal, both companies will exchange knowledge, share a platform for development of new products and technologies related to Ultra HD, increase their operational and commercial synergies, spread the usage of Ultra HD TV sets from LG, as well as use satellites to support the broadcasting of new content in Ultra HD. Hispasat will broadcast via satellite a promotional Ultra HD channel. At the presentation ceremony a live demonstration of the new technology was shown on a LG Ultra HD TV via the Hispasat 1E satellite.

SONY CONDUCTS 4K TRIALS AT WIMBLEDON Sony has captured part of this year’s Wimbledon Tennis Championships in the Ultra HD/4K format. Sony used the F55 cameras and NEXFS700 cameras to film the action in 4K. The footage was shown at the Sony 4K Experience centre which was set up at the location.

SAMSUNG EXPECTS ULTRA HD TO BECOME MAINSTREAM IN 2017

UHDTV will become mainstream by 2017, according to the director of European Business Development at Samsung Electronics. Speaking at the Futuresource Entertainment Summit 2013, Vassilis Seferidis, said that the question is whether operators will wait for penetration to reach 5 per cent before introducing channels.
