VB270 PROBE – QPSK/8PSK DVB-S/S2 RF Interface BRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES’ products adhere to The Global Standard of Digital Television. BRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES’ products adhere to Advanced Television Systems Committee. The VB270 adheres to the DiSEqC signaling standard and can be used with compatible products. Return Data Path enables sourcing of the remote signal back to the NOC or HeadEnd for detailed analysis. Reduces OPEX through fewer truck rolls and on-site visits. With Eii (External integration interface) all IP-Probes can be easily integrated into 3rd party NMS / OSS systems. The VB270 input option offers monitoring and analysis of QPSK/8PSK signals found in DVB-S and DVB-S2 satellite transponders. The chassis can be equipped with a single VB120 or VB220 IP-PROBE controller card and up to two VB270 QPSK input cards under its control. The complete configuration with the fully licensed VB120 provides real-time monitoring and alarming for two QPSK/8PSK RF inputs, 10 IP MPTS/SPTS multicasts (upgradeable to 50) and one ASI TS input. ETSI TR 101 290 analysis is performed in parallel for QPSK/8PSK inputs, the ASI input and the IP input. If the VB220 is used as master card the IP monitoring capacity is increased to impressive 260 MPTS/SPTS multicasts. The combined unit is ideal for hybrid networks where IP is used as a carrier from head-end to the satellite uplink station.The built-in round-robin functionality allows sequential analysis of multiple QPSK/8PSK multiplexes, making it possible to monitor a complete transponder using a single VB270.
