Hybrid headends

Maximum flexibility in signal processing

The MK headends can receive DVB-S/S2/S2x/T/T2/C and modulate the selected programmes in DVB-C or DVB-T. Due to the hybrid technology, these can be switched to IPTV with the software extension MKS 1-03I (no parallel operation possible). From then on, the headends convert the input signals into 512 × SPTS or 8 resp. 16 × MPTS.

Optimised capacity management

By means of re- and cross-multiplexing, programmes can be specifically distributed to the output modulators and capacities optimised. In MK headends with CI, channels distributed over several satellite transponders can be decrypted using one and the same CA module.

Benefits at a glance:

Optimised capacity management, thus many programmes in the smallest possible space
Different input signals, Different output modulations
Software extensions for PID, NIT or CAS available
Rremote maintenance (SMARTPortal)
Supports SNMP
