OverviewThe ADVENT FlyDrive Antenna is the newest in the range of antenna solutions on offer. The FlyDrive is designed to function as a traditional flyaway as well as a semi-permanent vehicle mounted system. The FlyDrive draws on technology and design innovations of the well known and field proven Mantis Flyaway and NewSwift antennas.
Advent has made its FlyDrive as easy as possible to operate. It offers full 3-axis motorised control with manual backup, satellite auto acquisition and tracking, with GPS if required. The FlyDrive can be fitted easily to most vehicle roof racks using standard fittings.
The FlyDrive is easily transported in IATA weight compliant flight cases so that it can be taken on a commercial airline, for quick deployment by a single user anywhere in the world.
ADVENT’s FlyDrive is fully adjustable, to +/- 200º azimuth, elevation 6º to 92º and polarisation adjustment +/- 95º. The drive control unit (DCU5000) is housed within the main antenna case, which makes this antenna very compact for operation in the field. The electronics for ADVENT FlyDrive’s are available in single thread, power combined or 1:1 redundant configurations. Advent’s 5000 range of electronics package compliments the FlyDrive perfectly. The 5000 series are half the width of a standard 19” rack mounted unit, a major advantage where space and weight are critical. For further information on the 5000 series of electronics please see separate datasheet.

The ACU5000 series antenna control units are designed to operate with the complete range of Advent motorised antenna systems, using the 3000, 4000 and 5000 series Drive Control Units (DCU).
The ACU5000 provides a user friendly interface enabling the control of azimuth, elevation and polarisation for the deployment and operation of the motorised antenna system.
The ACU has embedded software to be able to calculate the position of a satellite from the current location and orientation of the uplink system. The location and orientation can also be entered manually. If the beacon receiver option is included, the ACU can search, peak and track the satellite beacon signal.
Tracking is maintained using a differential slope track algorithm. From the detailed characteristics of the beam pattern stored within the controller the ACU can optimise the antenna pointing with the minimum of movement during the tracking process.
Satellites containing commercial traffic can be positively identified by their ‘Satellite ID’, in addition to comparison of the beacon frequency. This ensures the correct satellite has been acquired without the need for a spectrum analyser or receiver. An optional ASI output is available to feed an external decoder.
The ACU5000 provides the ability to recall one of up to 100 stored satellite presets and additional software providing up to 800 city information database enabling the controller to find the satellite without the need of GPS.

NewStreamMulti-mode Van/OB Transmit System
THE NEWSTREAM ADVANTAGE: Cost effective, space saving and user-friendly multi-purpose Van/OB microwave transmission system.
■ Compact: Space-efficient 2RU x 19" EIA all-inclusive rack mount design for ENG, CNG and SNG control.
■ SNG: DVB-S and DVB-S2 modulation with optional 10 MHz.
■ Video Inputs: Composite video & HD/SD-SDI.
■ Audio: Two embedded SDI MPEG-2 layer II and two Analog stereo pairs.
■ Future-proof: NewStream is based upon a software defined platform employing high capacity dual-core ARM® Cortex-A9™ FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) which allow for the future implementation of emerging communication technologies.
NewStream raises the bar as the most comprehensive mobile broadcast microwave transmission system available today. It combines both licensed and unlicensed RF technologies together, all within an operator-friendly platform.
The NewStream IDU (Indoor Unit) offers a unique type of multi-mode operation which can include ENG (Electronic News Gathering), SNG (Satellite News Gathering) and CNG (Cellular News Gathering) in a space efficient 2-RU (3 ½") by 19" EIA rack-mount chassis. The system includes both MPEG-2 and H.264 AVC (MPEG-4) HD/SD video/audio encoding for ENG and SNG applications and for CNG operations, H.264 ABR (adaptive bit rate) coding to compensate for the dynamic signal fluctuations commonly associated in cellular network infrastructures.
NewStream’s IDU employs advanced programmable OLED (organic light-emitting diode) push button switches which automatically configure themselves based upon the user’s desired mode of operation. The use of OLED smart switches significantly reduces front panel congestion by repurposing otherwise dedicated switches for different operating modes. In addition, they can also provide a color or graphic change-of-status indication in the same switch.
For ENG applications, NewStream includes an all-inclusive mast-mounted ODU (Outdoor Unit) providing 2 GHz or 2 & 7 GHz ultra-linear high RF power output digital amplifiers. It interconnects with the IDU via coaxial or triaxial cable and contains an ancillary RF coax relay to switch between a high-gain directional or optional Omni-directional antenna.
For CNG operations the IDU communicates with a separate cellular ODU that is either roof-top or mast-mounted by means of a MoCa Power over Ethernet (PoE) bridge connection utilizing any standard RG-58 or RG-59 coaxial cable, typically found in most legacy Nycoil assemblies. Mast-mounting the cellular ODU potentially increases broadband cellular connectivity that could be weakened in more congested roof-top mounted installations. Multiple cellular modems inside the ODU are “bonded” together for the seamless transmission of high quality HD (high-definition) video over 3G/4G LTE network service providers such as Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.
For SNG applications the NewStream IDU provides control of a fully featured integrated satellite upconverter with L-band output, DVB-S and DVB-S2 modulation.

Utilising Vislink’s core technologies the IRD5200 combines leading edge high order DVB-S2 demodulation with highly configurable FPGA circuitry providing an abundance of user selectable features all in one streamlined 19” x 1RU Half-Rack Width unit. This revolutionary concept for SNG /ENG and OB receive operations reduces the complexities and operating costs of today’s economically challenged businesses.
The 5200 IRD accepts up to two L band and one 58-860MHz RF input, in addition to two individual ASI inputs, RF signal inputs, providing reliable and comprehensive coverage for any SNG or ENG/OB receiving site. The integral demodulator can be configured for DVB-S QPSK and DVB-S2 schemes from QPSK through to 32APSK
In addition, with the relevant software license, the IRD5200 will accept ASI over IP input (decapsulating an ASI video from an IP transport stream and can encapsulate up to two ASI videos into an IP stream for routing to an alternate destination for decoding.
With the relevant license the integral decoder will decode MPEG2 SD/HD 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 video (including Vislink’s ultra low delay encoding) in addition to H.264 4:2:0 SD/HD and 4:2:2 10bit HD video.
A powerful, yet simple to operate, web-based graphical user interface (GUI) provides complete remote control and monitoring for the receiver by means of an integrated Ethernet/SNMP (RJ45) interface. This can be operated by connecting the IRD to a laptop or other device where the control screen will function in most web browsers. This further reduces capital equipment expenditures by eliminating the need for expensive third party remote control systems.
The IRD5200 is part of a complete suite of units aimed at high quality or versatile contribution links where live video or content is required to be routed back to base via Satellite, Microwave or IP connectivity. The range includes HD and SD Video Encoders, DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T and LMS-T Modulators, IP Satellite Modems, Diversity Receivers, IRDs and associated units. All units utilise a 19”x1RU half rack width housing for compactness and extremely light weight. This packaging has proved its worth in the portable applications where these type of units are typically deployed.
