Work Microwave launches the new DVB-S2 SK-DV modulator with DaVid technology

Its technology allows the aggregation of multiple MPEG transport streams and IP data into a single baseband stream (multistream).

Work Microwave has just launched the new DVB-S2 SK-DV modulator. Using DaVid technology, the device offers simultaneous transport of data (network connection) and live broadcasting (video content) on a single satellite provider.

Its technology allows the aggregation of multiple MPEG transport streams and IP data into a single baseband stream (multistream), which is inserted into a broadcast modulator. The single carrier signal is transmitted via satellite by the modulator and is subsequently received by several receivers that separate and extract the specific parts based on the DVB-S2 content and the input stream identifier (ISI). DaVid technology configures all DVB-S2 band parameters independently for each stream, giving users the flexibility to choose the number of streams that need to be processed.

The DVB-S2 SK-DV modem uses generic packaging compliant with TS 102 606, ensuring that the device is compatible with third-party DVB-S2 compliant products and allowing users to easily incorporate the modem into existing operations. Additionally, advanced modulation up to 32APSK offers the most efficient satellite communication for dedicated links, allowing broadcasters to deliver reliable, glitch-free transport.

The OptiACM function compensates, on the other hand, for possible disturbances in the satellite connection due to physical conditions, such as humidity and atmospheric precipitation. Additionally, the DVB-S2 SK-DV modem optimizes the amount of usable bandwidth through a traffic capacity that controls the volume of traffic that is sent via satellite and determines minimum/maximum data rates for each type of content. Traffic is differentiated into groups and priorities with respect to a number of configurable parameters.
