<strong>TELE</strong>-satélite fue fundada en 1981<br />

y hoy es la revista comercial más<br />

vieja, más gran<strong>de</strong> y la leída por<br />

la mayoría <strong>de</strong>l mundo. <strong>TELE</strong>satélite<br />

es consultada por más <strong>de</strong><br />

350.000 profesionales <strong>de</strong> la TV<br />

digital alre<strong>de</strong>dor <strong>de</strong>l mundo y está<br />

disponible ambas formas impresa<br />

y en línea.<br />

www.<strong>TELE</strong>-satélite.es<br />

Estimados Lectores,<br />

Esta vez <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite dio el Premio a la Innovación a un producto que esta realmente<br />

“ en el otro lado “. Normalmente <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite se enfoca en los receptores y no en los<br />

transmisores. <strong>Así</strong>, ¿por qué el cambio? ¡Porque con IPTV - la TV vía Internet - está<br />

empezando a <strong>de</strong>splegar una nueva era ! ¿Por qué es eso?<br />

Echemos una mirada más íntima a la tecnología <strong>de</strong> la recepción: no le importa si la<br />

recepción es por satélite, terrestre o cable: había siempre dos lados en la tecnología<br />

- un transmisor y un receptor. No importaba<br />

si la señal <strong>de</strong> la TV estuviera enviada<br />

inalámbricamente, esto es, transmitida vía<br />

satélite o terrestre, o a través <strong>de</strong> un cable<br />

como en una red <strong>de</strong> TV <strong>de</strong> cable, cada canal<br />

tenía que ser transmitido simultáneamente y<br />

entonces seleccionado por el sintonizador en<br />

el receptor.<br />

Pero este principio básico no es verda<strong>de</strong>ro<br />

para IPTV: el transmisor <strong>de</strong> IPTV sólo envía<br />

el programa específico que el receptor <strong>de</strong>l<br />

otro extremo ha pedido. ¡No hay ya ningún<br />

sintonizador! Al principio al mirar esto no<br />

tiene que ser algo <strong>de</strong> gran importancia pero<br />

<strong>de</strong>spués <strong>de</strong> echar una segunda mirada se<br />

compren<strong>de</strong> que un receptor <strong>de</strong> IPTV es <strong>de</strong><br />

lejos mucho menos caro. Un receptor <strong>de</strong><br />

IPTV es un receptor sin sintonizador. Algunos<br />

fabricantes incluso le dieron nombre estos<br />

receptores “ receptor sin sintonizador “; los<br />

componentes restantes <strong>de</strong> un receptor <strong>de</strong><br />

IPTV son casi idénticos a aquéllos que pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

encontrarse en cada receptor <strong>de</strong> satélite,<br />

terrestre o receptor <strong>de</strong>l cable.<br />

Los receptores sin sintonizador también quieren <strong>de</strong>cir algo más: ¡no hay ninguna<br />

antena! El espectador siempre es responsable <strong>de</strong> los costes <strong>de</strong> montar una antena<br />

apropiada sea para un plato <strong>de</strong>l satélite o una antena terrestre. Con una red <strong>de</strong>l cable,<br />

el proveedor era responsable <strong>de</strong> los costes involucrados en la instalación <strong>de</strong>l cable<br />

coaxial hasta el salón <strong>de</strong>l espectador. Pero el proveedor podía <strong>de</strong>spués recuperar estos<br />

costes a través <strong>de</strong>l cargo mensual que el espectador tenía que pagar por el servicio<br />

<strong>de</strong>l cable. En otras palabras, los costos <strong>de</strong> la recepción siempre se ponían <strong>de</strong>l lado <strong>de</strong><br />

los espectadores.<br />

Con IPTV estos costes han <strong>de</strong>saparecido en su mayor parte. Una conexión <strong>de</strong> Internet<br />

es consi<strong>de</strong>rada normal como lo es hoy una conexión eléctrica. <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite nunca<br />

discutió cómo proporcionar a un receptor la energía; ¡era obvio! Y estos días está<br />

también seguro <strong>de</strong> asumir que cada espectador <strong>de</strong> TV tiene una conexión <strong>de</strong> Internet.<br />

No hay ninguna necesidad <strong>de</strong> preocuparse por cosas que son obvias. Si se pue<strong>de</strong><br />

asumir que cada casa tiene una conexión <strong>de</strong> Internet, esto significa que la IPTV se ha<br />

vuelto una manera la alternativa barata para mirar la TV. Y esto también es verdad<br />

para los proveedores <strong>de</strong> programas que tienen que consi<strong>de</strong>rar esto también.<br />

Reconocidamente, ya que nosotros todavía estamos al principio <strong>de</strong> las fases <strong>de</strong> acceso<br />

generalizado a Internet <strong>de</strong> gran velocidad, la realidad es que nosotros no hemos ido<br />

bastante lejos todavía, pero está claro que el <strong>de</strong>sarrollo está entrando esta dirección.<br />

Con la transmisión IPTV <strong>de</strong> un canal así como la recepción <strong>de</strong> ese canal es tan barata,<br />

cualquiera pue<strong>de</strong> ser potencialmente un director <strong>de</strong> programación.<br />

Ahora se está volviéndose a vivir la interminable libertad que la TV <strong>de</strong>l satélite nos<br />

dio hace unas décadas, y que ahora en la edad <strong>de</strong> la IPTV pone a disposición <strong>de</strong><br />

los programadores una libertad interminable: cualquiera pue<strong>de</strong> ser un director <strong>de</strong><br />

programación programación y se pue<strong>de</strong>n transmitir los tantos canales como como ellos ellos quieran. quieran. ¡No hay<br />

ninguna limitación!<br />

TEST REPORT<br />

IPTV Gateway<br />

NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x<br />

¡Ahora También Se Pue<strong>de</strong><br />

Ser un Director <strong>de</strong> TV!<br />

Hasta hace unos años TV vía Internet o Ethernet estaba<br />

más allá <strong>de</strong> nuestra imaginación. Hoy, sin embargo, la<br />

alta capacidad los cables <strong>de</strong> fibra óptica y las continuas<br />

conexiones <strong>de</strong> la banda ancha hacen que halla vuelto<br />

una realidad. La IPTV es una opción para muchos y<br />

en estos días compite contra el satélite y televisión<br />

<strong>de</strong> cable. ¿Se ha pensado alguna vez sobre cómo son<br />

realmente distribuidos los contenidos vía IPTV?<br />

Para contestar esa pregunta<br />

nosotros mirábamos el<br />

Gateway <strong>de</strong> DVB-IP ofrecido<br />

por NetUP que es el sistema<br />

i<strong>de</strong>al para pequeños sistemas<br />

como hoteles o hospitales,<br />

pero también para usuarios<br />

privados o quien sabe, para<br />

todo aquel que quiera distribuir<br />

contenidos <strong>de</strong> TV en<br />

Internet.<br />

El Gateway DVB-IP 4x <strong>de</strong><br />

NetUP es un producto profesional<br />

que significa que toda<br />

la tecnología se con<strong>de</strong>nsa en<br />

una caja <strong>de</strong> rack <strong>de</strong> 19 pulgadas.<br />

A<strong>de</strong>más, los interfaces<br />

<strong>de</strong> conexión más importantes<br />

se localizan en los dos paneles<br />

<strong>de</strong>lantero y trasero que<br />

es otra indicación clara que<br />

este Gateway no es para la<br />

presentación al lado <strong>de</strong> la TV,<br />

sino que <strong>de</strong>be instalarse más<br />

bien en un armario especializado<br />

<strong>de</strong> servidores o en un<br />

rack <strong>de</strong> 19 pulgadas profesional.<br />

En el panel <strong>de</strong>lantero se<br />

encuentra un LCD <strong>de</strong> dos<br />

líneas muestra el modo<br />

actual <strong>de</strong> funcionamiento<br />

y proporciona una valiosa<br />

ayuda durante la instalación<br />

inicial <strong>de</strong> las interfaces <strong>de</strong><br />

red.<br />

Hablando <strong>de</strong> ello, hay un<br />

total <strong>de</strong> seis conectores <strong>de</strong><br />

red que pue<strong>de</strong>n programarse<br />

individualmente. Encima <strong>de</strong><br />

12 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

estas conexiones hay 10 LEDs<br />

y cinco botones a su <strong>de</strong>recha<br />

que permiten directamente<br />

el mando <strong>de</strong> la unidad.<br />

Aparte <strong>de</strong> los conectores<br />

<strong>de</strong> red arriba expresados<br />

hay dos conectores USB<br />

para enganchar sistemas <strong>de</strong><br />

almacenamiento multimedia<br />

externos y un puerto <strong>de</strong><br />

RS-232 para publicar la información<br />

<strong>de</strong> estado en una<br />

consola externa.<br />

Al mirar el panel trasero<br />

nos sorpren<strong>de</strong>n las cuatro<br />

entradas <strong>de</strong> IF <strong>de</strong> satélite.<br />

Son necesarias para recibir<br />

las señales que posteriormente<br />

se procesarán.<br />

NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x<br />

Facilidad perfecta <strong>de</strong> uso, combinado<br />

con una tecnología fiable - i<strong>de</strong>al para los<br />

proveedores <strong>de</strong> IPTV.<br />

Como nosotros está<br />

hablando sobre un dispositivo<br />

profesional no nos<br />

resulta sorpren<strong>de</strong>nte que<br />

cada entrada <strong>de</strong> sintonizador<br />

esté provista con una ranura<br />

<strong>de</strong> Interfaz Común especializada.<br />

Esto significa que<br />

pue<strong>de</strong>n colocarse un máximo<br />

<strong>de</strong> cuatro módulos <strong>de</strong> CI que<br />

pue<strong>de</strong> usarse en relación<br />

con este equipo que también<br />

viene con un interruptor<br />

mecánico <strong>de</strong> alimentación.<br />

Todos los componentes<br />

alar<strong>de</strong>an <strong>de</strong> un calidad<br />

extraordinaria, la unidad<br />

<strong>de</strong> alimentación <strong>de</strong> potencia<br />

integrada permite que la<br />

mayoría <strong>de</strong> los competidores<br />

exclusivamente se pongan<br />

pálidos por la comparación.<br />

El modulador viene con 2 GB


<strong>de</strong> memoria <strong>de</strong> interna y un<br />

disco duro <strong>de</strong> 1 TB.<br />

El uso profesional en la<br />

mayoría <strong>de</strong> los casos significa<br />

el uso permanente, por lo que<br />

un número suficiente <strong>de</strong> ventiladores<br />

pue<strong>de</strong>n generar un<br />

firme flujo <strong>de</strong> aire fresco. Sin<br />

éstos, muchos <strong>de</strong> los componentes<br />

sensibles se arriesgarían<br />

a tener un exceso <strong>de</strong><br />

calor, qué finalmente produciría<br />

el fracaso.<br />

Aquí también, es más evi<strong>de</strong>nte<br />

que este Gateway no<br />

esta diseñado para el uso<br />

en el salón, pues los ventiladores<br />

crean un ruido que<br />

<strong>fácil</strong>mente podría igualar al<br />

<strong>de</strong> una aspiradora normal.<br />

Mirar la TV al lado <strong>de</strong> este<br />

equipo es casi imposible,<br />

pero como mencionamos<br />

previamente, este Gateway<br />

<strong>de</strong>be colocarse sin embargo<br />

en un cuarto especializados<br />

para servidores, dón<strong>de</strong> los<br />

ventiladores puedan zumbar<br />

alegremente.<br />

El fabricante envía este<br />

sistema con un rango completo<br />

<strong>de</strong> accesorios <strong>de</strong> montaje<br />

para que la caja pueda<br />

encajarse en cualquier rack<br />

normal <strong>de</strong> 19 pulgadas o en<br />

un armario <strong>de</strong> servidores.<br />

El manual que viene con el<br />

equipo tiene un diseño muy<br />

amistoso para el usuario y<br />

<strong>de</strong>be contestar cualquier pregunta<br />

que podría levantarse<br />

en la vida.<br />

Antes <strong>de</strong> po<strong>de</strong>r acce<strong>de</strong>r al<br />

Gateway por primera vez se<br />

■<br />

El diagrama <strong>de</strong> una red <strong>de</strong> IPTV<br />

<strong>de</strong>be colocar una conexion <strong>de</strong><br />

red.<br />

Con este fin se conecta<br />

directamente a una <strong>de</strong> las<br />

seis interfaces <strong>de</strong> red disponibles<br />

cualquier PC o un<br />

enrutador, y se asigna una<br />

dirección <strong>de</strong> IP. Los cinco<br />

botones en el panel <strong>de</strong>lantero<br />

juegan un papel importante<br />

aquí, así como el visualizador<br />

LCD.<br />

En teoría, se pue<strong>de</strong>n poner<br />

direcciones IP para tres<br />

conectores <strong>de</strong> red directamente<br />

en la unidad; por<br />

simplicidad nosotros recomendamos<br />

empezar con un<br />

puerto y tratar <strong>de</strong> seguir con<br />

los otros cinco a través <strong>de</strong> la<br />

interfaz <strong>de</strong> web que se está<br />

disponible una vez el se ha<br />

colocado una IP en el primer<br />

puerto. De esta manera<br />

todos los ajustes pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

seleccionarse en el navegador<br />

Web <strong>de</strong>l PC.<br />

En cuanto se ha asignado<br />

la primera dirección <strong>de</strong> IP<br />

a una entrada, todos lo que<br />

se necesita hacer es entrar<br />

esta dirección en la línea <strong>de</strong><br />

dirección <strong>de</strong> su navegador y<br />

acce<strong>de</strong>r al servidor <strong>de</strong> web<br />

incorporado.<br />

Se necesita entrar correctamente<br />

el nombre <strong>de</strong> usuario<br />

y su contraseña que están<br />

asignadas por <strong>de</strong>fecto a los<br />

valores normales. Nosotros<br />

recomendamos poner un<br />

nombre <strong>de</strong> usuario y contraseña<br />

individual para asegurarse<br />

que la entrada está<br />

fuertemente protegida <strong>de</strong>l<br />

acceso <strong>de</strong>sautorizado.<br />

La interfaz Web es suma-<br />

mente <strong>fácil</strong> usar y se parece<br />

MS Windows, por lo que la<br />

mayoría estarán familiarizados<br />

con él. En el menú principal<br />

hay cinco sub-menús<br />

(Archivos, IPTV, Administración<br />

<strong>de</strong>l Sistema, Configuración<br />

<strong>de</strong>l Sistema y Estado<br />

<strong>de</strong>l Sistema), con los <strong>de</strong> configuración<br />

y administración<br />

que están sobresaltados, por<br />

supuesto.<br />

Con la ayuda <strong>de</strong> este interfaz<br />

Web pue<strong>de</strong>n controlarse<br />

separadamente los seis<br />

puertos <strong>de</strong> red integrados, y<br />

también pue<strong>de</strong>n visualizarse<br />

los datos <strong>de</strong> uso para cada<br />

uno <strong>de</strong> ellos.<br />

En caso <strong>de</strong> que se esté<br />

preguntando por qué están<br />

disponibles un total <strong>de</strong> seis<br />

puertos Ethernet, cuando con<br />

puesta es bastante simple:<br />

Con varios puertos <strong>de</strong> Ethernet<br />

es posible distribuir los<br />

canales en los varios niveles<br />

diferentes, y los contenidos<br />

multimedia podrían proporcionar<br />

canales que no estén<br />

disponibles en otro nivel <strong>de</strong><br />

distribución.<br />

<strong>Así</strong> entonces es posible<br />

crear hasta seis paquetes <strong>de</strong><br />

canales diferentes que todos<br />

son recibidos y procesados<br />

por la misma entrada, pero<br />

pue<strong>de</strong> componerse <strong>de</strong> canales<br />

completamente diferentes<br />

y qué pue<strong>de</strong>n distribuirse,<br />

comercializarse o pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

ven<strong>de</strong>rse individualmente.<br />

A<strong>de</strong>más, a cada adaptador<br />

<strong>de</strong> red se le pue<strong>de</strong> asignar una<br />

IP diferente que dirija a los<br />

niveles que estén disponibles<br />

<strong>de</strong>ntro <strong>de</strong> la misma arquitectura<br />

<strong>de</strong> la red. Hay también<br />

finalmente, la pregunta sobre<br />

el ancho <strong>de</strong> banda puesto<br />

que los contenidos <strong>de</strong> alta<br />

<strong>de</strong>finición pue<strong>de</strong> llamar para<br />

la distribución a<strong>de</strong>lante más<br />

<strong>de</strong> una conexión.<br />

Nuestro dispositivo <strong>de</strong> la<br />

prueba vino con cuatro sintonizadores<br />

<strong>de</strong> DVB-S2 con los<br />

que nosotros pudimos recibir,<br />

procesar y distribuir las<br />

señales <strong>de</strong>l satélite.<br />

Dependiendo <strong>de</strong> las especificaciones<br />

<strong>de</strong>l cliente, sin<br />

embargo, el NetUP DVB-IP<br />

Entrada 4x también podrá<br />

recibir DVB-T, DVB-C y señales<br />

analógicas, con módulos<br />

<strong>de</strong> la recepción que se<br />

intercambian similar a los<br />

componentes <strong>de</strong> hardware<br />

Plug&Play.<br />

El fabricante está trabajando<br />

actualmente en llevar<br />

a cabo estas características,<br />

porque ahora mismo sólo<br />

están disponibles los sintonizadores<br />

<strong>de</strong> satélite.<br />

que no están disponibles<br />

por estar diseñado como<br />

equipo profesional y por lo<br />

tanto el alcance es diferente<br />

al <strong>de</strong> cada aplicación.<br />

Con el Gateway NetUP<br />

DVB-IP 4x es posible colocar<br />

parámetros <strong>de</strong> LOF individuales<br />

colocados para cada<br />

sintonizador, así como <strong>de</strong>finir<br />

la configuración <strong>de</strong> DiSEqC<br />

simple y activar las señal <strong>de</strong><br />

22 kHz. A<strong>de</strong>más se necesita<br />

codificar la frecuencia <strong>de</strong>l<br />

transpon<strong>de</strong>dor requerida, la<br />

proporción <strong>de</strong>l símbolo para<br />

usar y la polarización, acabando<br />

con la alimentación<br />

Si se proporciona más <strong>de</strong><br />

un PID (en caso <strong>de</strong> las huellas<br />

<strong>de</strong> audio múltiples, por ejemplo)<br />

se pue<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>finir qué PID<br />

será distribuido. Es entonces<br />

es necesario asignar una IP<br />

multicast, un puerto y una <strong>de</strong><br />

las seis interfaces Ethernet<br />

para cada canal seleccionado.<br />

También es absolutamente<br />

posible que un canal pue<strong>de</strong><br />

asignarse a más <strong>de</strong> una<br />

<strong>de</strong> EPG <strong>de</strong> los canales recibidos<br />

que se reenvía más allá<br />

con un proceso middleware<br />

y <strong>de</strong> esta manera proporcionarlo<br />

a los receptores IPTV.<br />

En nuestro ajuste <strong>de</strong><br />

prueba nosotros escogimos<br />

enviar las señales <strong>de</strong><br />

cuatro satélites diferentes<br />

al Gateway. En <strong>de</strong>talle, las<br />

señales vinieron <strong>de</strong> los transpon<strong>de</strong>dores<br />

siguientes: BBC<br />

en ASTRA 28.8° Este, MBC en<br />

NILESAT a 7° Oeste, ORF en<br />

ASTRA 19.2° Este y un cuarto<br />

transpon<strong>de</strong>dor <strong>de</strong>l TURKSAT<br />

a 42° Este.<br />

Incluso probamos <strong>de</strong> llevar<br />

a los sintonizadores al límite<br />

con una señal bastante débil<br />

<strong>de</strong> ABS1 a 75° Este que los<br />

cuatro pudieron reenviar por<br />

completo el vi<strong>de</strong>o y el audio.<br />

¡Nosotros simplemente no<br />

podríamos esperar más!<br />

En total nosotros llegamos<br />

a unos impresionantes 32<br />

canales <strong>de</strong> TV que se unieron<br />

en un multicast que usaba la<br />

dirección IP 224.200.200.201.<br />

Nosotros también podríamos<br />

<strong>de</strong>jar el puerto con 1234, por<br />

ejemplo, y distribuír canales<br />

individuales que usando<br />

direcciones IP separadas<br />

como 224.200.200.202,<br />

224.200.200.203 y así sucesivamente.<br />

En el extremo <strong>de</strong>l receptor<br />

nosotros usamos un AzBox<br />

Ultra HD (ver el informe <strong>de</strong><br />

prueba en la edición anterior<br />

<strong>de</strong> <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite <strong>de</strong><br />

08-09/2010), qué actualmente<br />

es uno <strong>de</strong> los muy<br />

pocos receptores capaz <strong>de</strong><br />

procesar IPTV junto a DVB-<br />

S2. Ajustar el AzBox para<br />

recibir los canales <strong>de</strong> nuestra<br />

propia red <strong>de</strong> IPTV fue<br />

muy <strong>fácil</strong> y nosotros pudimos<br />

visualizar una lista <strong>de</strong> 32<br />

canales en muy poco tiempo.<br />

No tiene ningún sentido el<br />

ajustar una red <strong>de</strong> IPTV para<br />

un solo receptor cliente, es<br />

por lo que nosotros extendimos<br />

nuestra instalación para<br />

incluir varios PCs en nuestra<br />

oficina editorial para el<br />

acceso a IPTV.<br />

El software reproductor VLC<br />

(disponible en www.vi<strong>de</strong>o-<br />

lan.org para varios sistemas<br />

operativos) ha resultado ser<br />

una solución hábil para la<br />

recepción <strong>de</strong> IPTV en el PC, y<br />

no importa cómo duro fuese<br />

lo que nosotros intentamos,<br />

no había ninguna manera<br />

<strong>de</strong> que nosotros pudiéramos<br />

hacer vacilar al Gateway. No<br />

hubo incluso <strong>de</strong> hecho, ni el<br />

más ligero pixelado. Esto significó<br />

que nosotros teníamos<br />

que inventar una imaginable<br />

prueba que hiciera más duro<br />

el uso <strong>de</strong>l Gateway. ¿Qué hay<br />

sobre transmitir la TV británica<br />

a un colega en Thailandia<br />

vía IPTV?<br />

Lo primero que hicimos<br />

nosotros fue el preparar una<br />

conexión <strong>de</strong> VPN usando dos<br />

enrutadores Netgear en cada<br />

extremo antes <strong>de</strong> encen<strong>de</strong>r<br />

el Gateway <strong>de</strong> IPTV. Sólo<br />

18 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

habían pasado unos segundos<br />

cuando nuestro colega<br />

que nos avisó por Skype y<br />

nos hizo saber que nuestro<br />

esfuerzo tuvo el éxito.<br />

Lo que merece la pena<br />

y nosotros tenemos que<br />

mencionar en esta fase que<br />

nosotros tenemos un acceso<br />

<strong>de</strong> Internet muy rápido en<br />

nuestra oficina que ofrece<br />

una velocidad <strong>de</strong> subida <strong>de</strong><br />

algo más <strong>de</strong> 20 MBit/s. Algo<br />

menos no serían suficiente<br />

para unos contenidos en alta<br />

resolución. De todos modos,<br />

nuestro compañero tailandés<br />

se asombró por la calidad<br />

audio y vi<strong>de</strong>o así como la<br />

velocidad <strong>de</strong> los paquetes <strong>de</strong><br />

IPTV que nosotros le enviábamos.<br />

Gracias a l soporte <strong>de</strong><br />

■<br />

1. Hay datos estadísticos precisos<br />

para cada puerto <strong>de</strong> Ethernet<br />

2. Asignación <strong>de</strong> la ruta <strong>de</strong> la red<br />

3. También está disponible un servidor<br />

<strong>de</strong> MySQL así como un servidor<br />

<strong>de</strong> tiempo<br />

4. Los muchos contenidos <strong>de</strong> VOD<br />

pue<strong>de</strong>n guardarse en el disco duro<br />

incorporado <strong>de</strong> 1 TB<br />

DVB-S2 el Gateway no sólo<br />

es capaz <strong>de</strong> recibir y distribuir<br />

señales <strong>de</strong> SDTV<br />

sino que también <strong>de</strong> HDTV<br />

MPEG4/H.264. Nosotros no<br />

<strong>de</strong>scubrimos ninguna falta al<br />

reproducir contenidos HDTV<br />

vía IPTV. A<strong>de</strong>más, el Gateway<br />

<strong>de</strong>scubre automáticamente y<br />

ajusta a los parámetros técnicos<br />

como la modulación y la<br />

corrección <strong>de</strong>l error que son<br />

una característica que nosotros<br />

no po<strong>de</strong>mos alabar bastante<br />

favorablemente.<br />

DVB-IP se complementa más<br />

allá por varias opciones <strong>de</strong><br />

asignación <strong>de</strong> rutas, el disco<br />

duro integrado <strong>de</strong> 1 TB así<br />

como una característica <strong>de</strong><br />

actualización <strong>de</strong>l software<br />

muy amistosa al usuario.<br />

Todo lo que se requiere<br />

es <strong>de</strong>scargarse el último<br />

Firmware <strong>de</strong>l sitio webs <strong>de</strong>l<br />

fabricante y entonces transferirlo<br />

al Gateway NetUP<br />

DVB-IP 4x vía la red usando<br />

FTP. Aparece inmediatamente<br />

en el menú <strong>de</strong> actualización,<br />

completa con el<br />

número <strong>de</strong> la versión exacto,<br />

y pue<strong>de</strong> cargarse e instalarse<br />

con un simple clic. Los seis<br />

puertos <strong>de</strong> Ethernet son compatibles<br />

LAN 10/100/1000<br />

Mbit por el que ellos soportan<br />

el máximo actual que es técnicamente<br />

factible. El propio<br />

Gateway es capaz <strong>de</strong> procesar<br />

simultáneamente hasta<br />

cuatro transpon<strong>de</strong>dores con<br />

un ancho <strong>de</strong> banda global <strong>de</strong><br />

240 MB/s.<br />

Con sus dimensiones <strong>de</strong><br />

430x44x411 encaja exactamente<br />

en un rack normal<br />

<strong>de</strong> 19 pulgadas normal o en<br />

un armario <strong>de</strong> servidores,<br />

y siendo su peso enorme<br />

<strong>de</strong> 11.5 kg (principalmente<br />

<strong>de</strong>bido a su fuente <strong>de</strong> alimentación<br />

<strong>de</strong> alta potencia suministrada<br />

en la unidad). Como<br />

se esperaría <strong>de</strong> un equipo profesional,<br />

el Gateway automáticamente<br />

el reinicia <strong>de</strong>spués<br />

<strong>de</strong> un corte <strong>de</strong> alimentación<br />

e ingresa en el modo que<br />

estaba trabajando antes <strong>de</strong>l<br />

corte. El rango <strong>de</strong> voltajes <strong>de</strong><br />

90 a 240 VAC y 47 a 63 Hz en<br />

que pue<strong>de</strong> trabajar la fuente<br />

<strong>de</strong> alimentación permite uso<br />

global <strong>de</strong>l Gateway. Cuando<br />

está funcionando el Gateway<br />

NetUP DVB-IP 4x consume<br />

aproximadamente 100 W <strong>de</strong><br />

potencia.<br />

Mientras que el Gateway<br />

NetUP DVB-IP 4x es un componente<br />

que para muchos<br />

pue<strong>de</strong> estar diseñado para<br />

IPTV conectado a una red <strong>de</strong><br />

computadoras, pue<strong>de</strong> usarse<br />

también por supuesto para<br />

su propia causa, como nosotros<br />

hiciéramos en nuestro<br />

sistema <strong>de</strong> prueba. Es responsable<br />

<strong>de</strong> procesar y convertir<br />

una señal <strong>de</strong> DVB en<br />

un formato compatible IPTV<br />

y así sirve como una interfaz<br />

entre señales DVB y una red<br />

<strong>de</strong> IPTV.<br />

Los receptores <strong>de</strong>l cliente,<br />

por otro lado, simplemente<br />

cambian entre los canales<br />

y paquetes que usan direccionamientos<br />

IPs y puertos<br />

diferentes. Con este planteamiento<br />

en la mente el<br />

Gateway podría actuar como<br />

un acoplador conveniente<br />

para los abastecer señales a<br />

varios monitores <strong>de</strong>ntro <strong>de</strong><br />

un edificio, y naturalmente,<br />

distribuir las señales <strong>de</strong> satélite,<br />

cable o terrestres vía<br />

una red o Internet.<br />

Hablando <strong>de</strong> esto, todavía<br />

esta por ver si nuestro colega<br />

tailandés nos permitirá <strong>de</strong>sconectar<br />

nuestra entrada <strong>de</strong><br />

prueba, puesto que parece<br />

haberse vuelto un adicto<br />

<strong>de</strong> la BBC en el entretanto.<br />

Él se opone fuertemente a<br />

nosotros que finalicemos la<br />

prueba, puesto que los canales<br />

<strong>de</strong> la BBC que él pue<strong>de</strong><br />

recibir en este momento no<br />

están por otra parte disponibles<br />

en Thailandia.<br />

En la mayoría <strong>de</strong> los casos,<br />

sin embargo, el Gateway <strong>de</strong><br />

DVB-IP se usará como un<br />

componente íntegro en una<br />

red <strong>de</strong> IPTV mucho más com-<br />

20 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

pleja. Con este fin el Gateway<br />

se conecta a un middleware<br />

que crea un OSD gráfico<br />

específico por proveedor y<br />

presenta los canales procesados<br />

para que sean <strong>de</strong> <strong>fácil</strong><br />

uso y visualmente con un<br />

diseño agradable.<br />

Los operadores pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

agregar incluso VOD (vi<strong>de</strong>o<br />

sobre <strong>de</strong>manda), teniendo en<br />

cuenta otras características<br />

específicas para el cliente<br />

que hacen un sistema perfecto<br />

para crear una red <strong>de</strong><br />

IPTV para hoteles, hospitales,<br />

edificios <strong>de</strong> apartamento<br />

o campos similares <strong>de</strong> aplicación.<br />

Nosotros <strong>de</strong>bemos agregar<br />

que en esta fase el NetUP<br />

no sólo ofrece su Gateway<br />

como un solo componente,<br />

sino que también unos sistemas<br />

<strong>de</strong> IPTV completos<br />

para dar soluciones llaves<br />

en mano. Ésto pue<strong>de</strong> incluir<br />

el middleware correspondiente<br />

y el VOD, aparte <strong>de</strong> la<br />

entrada al centro <strong>de</strong> la red.<br />

El IPTV Combine 4x es uno<br />

<strong>de</strong> estos sistemas, y aquí<br />

<strong>de</strong> nuevo nosotros po<strong>de</strong>mos<br />

<strong>de</strong>cir con la convicción que<br />

el fabricante no ofrece las<br />

soluciones sin entusiasmo:<br />

Ambos los Gateway DVB-IP<br />

4x y el IPTV Combine 4x con<br />

el middleware incorporado<br />

están basados en exactamente<br />

el mismo hardware.<br />

<strong>Así</strong> que si un cliente ya opera<br />

el Gateway DVB-IP 4x y necesita<br />

actualizar su sistema<br />

a IPTV Combine 4x con el<br />

middleware incorporado y el<br />

VOD todo lo que él necesita<br />

hacer es una compra <strong>de</strong> la<br />

extensión <strong>de</strong>l software para<br />

abrir toda la Confabulación<br />

4x mágicamente sin tener<br />

que cambiar un solo componente<br />

<strong>de</strong>l hardware.<br />

Esta opción <strong>de</strong> actualización<br />

también es una <strong>de</strong><br />

las razones por qué cada<br />

Gateway DVB-IP 4x se envía<br />

en primer lugar con un<br />

enorme disco duro <strong>de</strong> 1 TB.<br />

Su capacidad completa sólo<br />

se requiere una vez que el<br />

Gateway se ha convertido<br />

en un IPTV Combine 4x con<br />

VOD, cuando el disco duro<br />

estará lleno con contenidos<br />

multimedia para que los<br />

usuarios puedan mirar siempre<br />

que ellos lo <strong>de</strong>seen.<br />

Nosotros creemos que se<br />

pue<strong>de</strong> recoger <strong>de</strong> lo que se<br />

ha leído hasta ahora que<br />

nosotros nos impresionamos<br />

<strong>de</strong> verdad con el Gateway<br />

En el AzBox HD Ultra la lista <strong>de</strong> canales que consiste en DVB-S y canales<br />

<strong>de</strong> IPTV


DVB-IP 4x durante nuestra<br />

prueba. La calidad <strong>de</strong> diseño<br />

extraordinaria y la perfecta<br />

facilidad <strong>de</strong> uso están entre<br />

sus características importantes.<br />

Mientras se tiene en todo<br />

momento a mano un comprensivo<br />

y bien escrito<br />

manual, probablemente sería<br />

incluso posible preparar y<br />

ejecutar el sistema sin él.<br />

Naturalmente, sólo pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

encontrarse <strong>de</strong>talles técnicos<br />

y las indirectas útiles en la<br />

documentación escrita.<br />

NetUP usa sintonizado-<br />

Gracias a un total <strong>de</strong> seis<br />

conectores Ethernet pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

configurarse las salidas libremente<br />

y pue<strong>de</strong>n distribuirse<br />

en niveles diferentes. Un<br />

momento culminante adicional<br />

está oculto <strong>de</strong>trás <strong>de</strong><br />

la característica <strong>de</strong> actualización<br />

conveniente que<br />

pue<strong>de</strong> convertir <strong>fácil</strong>mente<br />

SK60-PWT19 OFFSET DISH OF SVEC<br />

Two-way mountable dish with excellent<br />

performance<br />

Aquéllos que viven<br />

a las latitu<strong>de</strong>s bajas<br />

y medias tien<strong>de</strong>n a<br />

pensar que un plato<br />

<strong>de</strong>l <strong>de</strong>splazamiento<br />

siempre tiene su<br />

LNB apoyado en el<br />

brazo <strong>de</strong>bajo <strong>de</strong>l<br />

reflector. ¿Pero<br />

és realmente un<br />

imperativo el instalar<br />

un plato <strong>de</strong> tal<br />

manera? ¿Qué hay<br />

sobre poner el brazo<br />

sobre el plato? Bien,<br />

no hay ninguna<br />

ley que lo prohíba<br />

pero se hace por<br />

razones prácticas,<br />

esto tiene el sentido<br />

principalmente para<br />

los satélites <strong>de</strong><br />

elevación bastante<br />

baja (por <strong>de</strong>bajo<br />

<strong>de</strong> 30°). Esta razón<br />

práctica mantiene el<br />

reflector tan vertical<br />

como sea posible<br />

para prevenir que<br />

la lluvia, nieve y<br />

suciedad se acumule<br />

encima <strong>de</strong> él.<br />

El plato <strong>de</strong> SVEC montado “ boca<br />

abajo “ : el único montaje en el<br />

mástil que SVEC permite montar<br />

el plato <strong>de</strong> la manera inversa. Esto<br />

sugiere que está diseñado para<br />

áreas cercanas a las regiones <strong>de</strong>l<br />

polo, esto significa en las áreas<br />

dón<strong>de</strong> la elevación para los rangos<br />

<strong>de</strong>l satélite <strong>de</strong>seados <strong>de</strong> 0 a 40<br />

grados. Otro uso está en ciertas<br />

circunstancias, por ejemplo, en un<br />

balcón, poniendo el brazo sobre<br />

el reflector podría ser la solución<br />

cuando el montaje <strong>de</strong>l brazo <strong>de</strong>bajo<br />

<strong>de</strong>l reflector no encaje.


Un plato <strong>de</strong>l <strong>de</strong>splazamiento<br />

recibe la señal <strong>de</strong>l satélite que<br />

viene perpendicularmente a<br />

la superficie <strong>de</strong>l reflector con<br />

un ángulo <strong>de</strong> aproximadamente<br />

25°. Esto significa que<br />

para recibir un satélite a la<br />

elevación <strong>de</strong> 25°, el reflector<br />

se posiciona verticalmente.<br />

Si la elevación es más baja,<br />

el reflector <strong>de</strong>be inclinarse<br />

hacia la tierra lo que pue<strong>de</strong><br />

parecer que algo está equivocado<br />

con nuestro plato. ¿Por<br />

qué no colocarlo al revés y<br />

posicionar el brazo soporte<br />

<strong>de</strong>l LNB sobre el reflector?<br />

¡Eso es exactamente lo que<br />

SVEC ha hecho con su plato<br />

compensado SK60-PWT19 <strong>de</strong><br />

60 centímetro para la banda<br />

Ku!<br />

SVEC nos envió una caja<br />

<strong>de</strong> cartón pulcramente<br />

embalada con dos juegos <strong>de</strong><br />

SK60-PWT19. Todo estaba en<br />

perfectas condiciones. Nosotros<br />

estábamos contentos<br />

pues este plato viene con los<br />

dibujos <strong>de</strong>l montaje y una lista<br />

<strong>de</strong> materiales lo que es muy<br />

útil en el proceso <strong>de</strong>l montaje.<br />

Cada parte <strong>de</strong>l equipo<br />

estaba muy bien terminada y<br />

encajaban con todas las otras<br />

partes sin ningún problema.<br />

El montaje fue nada más que<br />

divertido. Si ya se tiene un<br />

mástil vertical para montar<br />

el plato, todo lo que se necesita<br />

usar es una llave inglesa<br />

<strong>de</strong> 10 mm y un <strong>de</strong>stornillador<br />

Phillips.<br />

Debido al hecho que el<br />

acimut y los ajustes <strong>de</strong>l<br />

ángulo <strong>de</strong> elevación <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>n<br />

<strong>de</strong> dos tornillos cada uno,<br />

es muy <strong>fácil</strong> <strong>de</strong> girar e inclinar<br />

el plato <strong>fácil</strong>mente. El SK60-<br />

PWT19 no se resbalará hacia<br />

<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

algunos casos, ésta podría<br />

ser una <strong>de</strong>sventaja porque el<br />

plato <strong>de</strong>be sentarse en parte<br />

<strong>de</strong> arriba <strong>de</strong>l mástil. <strong>Así</strong> que<br />

si se planea usar el mismo<br />

mástil para una antena <strong>de</strong><br />

satélite y una antena terrestre,<br />

tendría que pensárselo<br />

antes. Normalmente, el plato<br />

<strong>de</strong>l satélite está montado<br />

<strong>de</strong>bajo y la antena yagi terrestre<br />

encima <strong>de</strong> ella para minimizar<br />

el impacto <strong>de</strong>l viento en<br />

el mástil.<br />

Los dibujos <strong>de</strong> montaje que<br />

acompañaron al plato mostraban<br />

dos maneras <strong>de</strong> montaje:<br />

la manera regular con el brazo<br />

<strong>de</strong>l LNB por <strong>de</strong>bajo <strong>de</strong>l reflector<br />

(para una elevación en el<br />

rango <strong>de</strong> 30-90°) y la manera<br />

invertida con el brazo sobre<br />

el reflector (en un rango <strong>de</strong><br />

0-40° <strong>de</strong> elevación). Se pue<strong>de</strong><br />

ver ambas variantes en las<br />

fotografías. El montaje “ al<br />

revés “ parece un poco raro,<br />

pero todo trabaja perfectamente<br />

OK y se asume que la<br />

elevación <strong>de</strong>l satélite está en<br />

el rango <strong>de</strong> 0-40°.<br />

Todavía es más razonable<br />

usar la manera tradicional<br />

para los satélites entre<br />

30-40° porque el reflector<br />

está más vertical, así hay<br />

más bajo riesgo <strong>de</strong> recoger la<br />

lluvia, nieve o polvo en él. Sin<br />

embargo, si le gusta activar la<br />

curiosidad entre sus vecinos,<br />

el montaje inverso pue<strong>de</strong> ser<br />

su opción.<br />

SVEC le da más que un<br />

completo plato. Hay un elemento<br />

adicional con un<br />

pequeño mástil que se pue<strong>de</strong><br />

usar para sujetar el montaje<br />

a una pared, o al tejado. La<br />

cosa interesante es: no necesita<br />

ser una superficie vertical<br />

u horizontal. Si tiene el ajuste<br />

liso <strong>de</strong> 0 a 90° para que se<br />

pueda usar y es lo bastante<br />

sólido para volverse una base<br />

<strong>de</strong> antena.<br />

En nuestras prueba nosotros<br />

usamos uno <strong>de</strong> nuestros<br />

existentes mástiles verticales.<br />

Nosotros medimos primero<br />

que el plato <strong>de</strong> 60 centímetros<br />

<strong>de</strong> un competidor y entonces<br />

pusimos el SK60-PWT19 en el


mástil. Los gráficos cuentan<br />

la historia entera. De hecho<br />

el plato <strong>de</strong> SVEC realizó<br />

muy bien su trabajo. Nosotros<br />

logramos una señal más<br />

fuerte <strong>de</strong> aproximadamente<br />

30<br />

La Opinión <strong>de</strong>l Experto<br />

+<br />

Muy buena calidad <strong>de</strong> fabricación. Amplio<br />

rango <strong>de</strong> elevación: 0~90°. Ajuste fino y <strong>fácil</strong> <strong>de</strong><br />

la elevación y el acimut. Diseño rígido. Una geometría<br />

excelente = una alta ganancia. Los accesorios<br />

adicionales permiten su montaje en la pared<br />

o techo<br />

-<br />

1 dBµV y la misma calidad<br />

<strong>de</strong> señal que el producto <strong>de</strong>l<br />

competidor. Nuestra conclusión,<br />

todo es perfecto con la<br />

geometría <strong>de</strong> la antena <strong>de</strong><br />

este plato <strong>de</strong> SVEC.<br />

Medidor <strong>de</strong> Señal DVB-S2<br />

Horizon HD-S2 Medidor<br />

<strong>de</strong> Señal <strong>de</strong> Satélite<br />

Tan Fácil <strong>de</strong> Usar Como<br />

Su Hermano Mayor<br />

El HD-S2 es el sucesor <strong>de</strong>l HDSM USB PLUS - el medidor <strong>de</strong><br />

señal <strong>de</strong> satélite que <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite presentó en la edición<br />

10-11/2007. En ese momento el medidor no era compatible<br />

con DVB-S2. ¡Pero ahora por supuesto que lo es! Pero éste<br />

no es la única mejora que Horizon ha introducido en su nuevo<br />

medidor. Nos dirigiremos a las noveda<strong>de</strong>s mas a<strong>de</strong>lante en el<br />

informe, pero primero nos gustaría dar énfasis a cuáles son las<br />

características más importantes <strong>de</strong> este medidor - su facilidad<br />

<strong>de</strong> uso, ha sido preservada. Nosotros podríamos repetir el título<br />

<strong>de</strong>l informe en el que nosotros <strong>de</strong>scribimos a su pre<strong>de</strong>cesor: “<br />

Incluso un iniciado total pue<strong>de</strong> usarlo “ ¡todavía mantiene cierto!<br />

Como con todos los medidores<br />

<strong>de</strong> Horizon, cuando se<br />

entrega el HD-S2, su batería<br />

interior necesita ser cargada<br />

aproximadamente 8 horas. La<br />

fuente <strong>de</strong> alimentación está<br />

incorporada por lo que sólo se<br />

necesita conectarlo al enchufe<br />

<strong>de</strong> corriente con el cable<br />

incluido para cargar la batería<br />

interior. También se pue<strong>de</strong><br />

usar el cable para la carga por<br />

DC <strong>de</strong>l enchufe <strong>de</strong>l encen<strong>de</strong>dor<br />

<strong>de</strong>l coche. Cuando está totalmente<br />

cargado, se pue<strong>de</strong> uti-<br />

lizar por un período <strong>de</strong> más <strong>de</strong><br />

8 horas con su carga máxima.<br />

Esto es posible gracias a la<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>rna batería <strong>de</strong> Polímero<br />

<strong>de</strong> Lithio (Li-Po). La batería<br />

es accesible a través <strong>de</strong> una<br />

puerta con un ala flexible en la<br />

parte inferior <strong>de</strong>l medidor, por<br />

lo que es posible reemplazarla<br />

en el futuro o <strong>de</strong>sconectarlo<br />

si se piensa no usar el HD-S2<br />

durante algún tiempo.<br />

El panel frontal dispone <strong>de</strong><br />

dos conectores F, una panta-<br />

<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

lla LCD con luz <strong>de</strong> fondo y un<br />

pequeño teclado con cuatro<br />

botones. Hay una tapa plástica<br />

que protege al tablero<br />

<strong>de</strong>lantero. El medidor está<br />

bien protegido contra las<br />

gotas <strong>de</strong> lluvia cuando usa<br />

en el exterior. El conector F<br />

<strong>de</strong> salida está protegido con<br />

una cubierta <strong>de</strong> caucho por<br />

lo que probablemente no se<br />

usará muy a menudo. La lluvia<br />

no tiene ninguna oportunidad<br />

para conseguir llegar al interior<br />

<strong>de</strong>l instrumento.<br />

HORIZON HD-S2<br />

Sumamente <strong>fácil</strong> <strong>de</strong> usar, con una lista<br />

asombrosa <strong>de</strong> características para los<br />

profesionales<br />

Otra “ capa <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>fensa “<br />

contra el ambiente hostil es<br />

la funda <strong>de</strong> nylon. Tiene un<br />

práctico bolsillo en un lado y<br />

una guía rápida <strong>de</strong> utilización<br />

en la superficie interna <strong>de</strong>l<br />

ala flexible. Las aperturas <strong>de</strong><br />

velcro le permiten conectar<br />

los cables sin sacar el medidor<br />

<strong>de</strong> la bolsa. La correa para el<br />

cuello, <strong>de</strong> longitud ajustable,<br />

le permite tener libres las dos<br />

manos para ocuparse <strong>de</strong> un<br />

plato <strong>de</strong>l satélite.<br />

El uso<br />

Si se está familiarizado con<br />

cualquier otro tipo <strong>de</strong> medidores<br />

<strong>de</strong> Horizon - satélite, cable<br />

o terrestre, realmente no se<br />

necesita mucho tiempo para<br />

<strong>de</strong>ducir cómo funciona su<br />

nuevo HD-S2. La flecha arriba<br />

<strong>de</strong> dirige al menú <strong>de</strong> ajustes<br />

y la flecha abajo al funcionamiento<br />

regular. Los botones<br />

<strong>de</strong> arriba/abajo se usan para<br />

navegar por el menú y los <strong>de</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong>recha/izquierda para seleccionar<br />

la opción/valor para un<br />

elemento dado <strong>de</strong>l menú.


Hay doce artículos <strong>de</strong>l menú<br />

en el Menú <strong>de</strong> Ajustes: Luz <strong>de</strong><br />

fondo (on/off), Sonido <strong>de</strong>l clic<br />

(on/off), Brillo (0 ...15), Contraste<br />

(0 ...50), Reposo (1 ...30<br />

minutos o siempre encendido),<br />

Idioma (inglés, francés,<br />

indonesio, español, italiano,<br />

alemán, holandés, polaco,<br />

sueco, danés, noruego,<br />

croata), Unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> RF (el<br />

dBµV/dBm/dBmV), Voltaje <strong>de</strong>l<br />

LNB (0 o 13/18V), Valores por<br />

<strong>de</strong>fecto, Acimut (Mag/Geo),<br />

Versión <strong>de</strong> Firmware y Lista <strong>de</strong><br />

Ciuda<strong>de</strong>s europeas.<br />

La última opción requiere<br />

alguna explicación. El Horizon<br />

HD-S2 pue<strong>de</strong> calcular la<br />

elevación <strong>de</strong>l plato <strong>de</strong> satélite<br />

y el acimut <strong>de</strong> cualquier satélite<br />

dado. Para usarlo, se tiene<br />

que seleccionar su situación.<br />

La opción <strong>de</strong>l menú “ Ciuda<strong>de</strong>s<br />

Europeas” indican qué<br />

región <strong>de</strong> observación está<br />

cargada. Escoger una ciudad<br />

cerca <strong>de</strong> su situación acelera<br />

la velocidad <strong>de</strong>l proceso.<br />

Dependiendo <strong>de</strong> su opción el<br />

36<br />

acimut <strong>de</strong>l plato se calcularán<br />

relacionado al polo geográfico<br />

o magnético.<br />

Cuando todo está fijado <strong>de</strong><br />

la salida <strong>de</strong>l LNB al conector <strong>de</strong><br />

ENTRADA en el panel <strong>de</strong>lantero<br />

<strong>de</strong>l HD-S2 y po<strong>de</strong>mos<br />

poner el medidor en operación<br />

con el botón <strong>de</strong> la flecha<br />

abajo. Después <strong>de</strong> la pantalla<br />

bienvenida, el medidor mues-<br />

tra la pantalla <strong>de</strong> la búsqueda<br />

<strong>de</strong> señal. En la parte <strong>de</strong> arriba,<br />

está el nombre <strong>de</strong>l satélite y<br />

<strong>de</strong>bajo una barra <strong>de</strong> fuerza <strong>de</strong><br />

la señal y valor <strong>de</strong> potencia<br />

<strong>de</strong>l canal en dBµV (o las unida<strong>de</strong>s<br />

colocadas en el Menú<br />

<strong>de</strong> Ajustes). Con las flechas<br />

<strong>de</strong>recha/izquierda, se pue<strong>de</strong><br />

cambiar el satélite y una vez<br />

se posicione en el satélite en<br />

el que se está interesado, es<br />

el momento para empezar a<br />

mover el plato.<br />

Mientras hacemos el barrido<br />

con el plato, no se tiene que<br />

mirar el visor <strong>de</strong>l HD-S2<br />

porque genera unos pitidos.<br />

Estos cambian en el diapasón<br />

y la tasa <strong>de</strong> repetición<br />

<strong>de</strong>pendiendo <strong>de</strong> la fuerza <strong>de</strong> la<br />

señal. Es muy <strong>fácil</strong> el <strong>de</strong>scubrir<br />

la posición correcta <strong>de</strong>l plato<br />

sólo escuchando.<br />

En cuanto el medidor sintonice<br />

la señal recibida, aparece<br />

el símbolo <strong>de</strong> un candado en la<br />

pantalla que se muestra como<br />

cerrado con llave y se muestra<br />

una barra adicional. Presenta<br />

la Proporción <strong>de</strong> Error <strong>de</strong><br />

Modulación (MER). Su valor en<br />

dB simplemente se muestra<br />

<strong>de</strong>bajo <strong>de</strong> la barra. El MER es<br />

visualizado con una resolución<br />

<strong>de</strong> 0.1 dB que es precisamente<br />

más que bastante alinear un<br />

plato. Sin embargo, Horizon<br />

hizo algo más. Después<br />

<strong>de</strong> apretar el botón <strong>de</strong> flecha<br />

abajo, nosotros po<strong>de</strong>mos ver


una ampliación (subiendo verticalmente)<br />

<strong>de</strong> la muestra <strong>de</strong><br />

la fuerza <strong>de</strong> la señal y MER.<br />

Las lecturas son ahora aun<br />

más sensibles que antes a los<br />

cambios en la posición <strong>de</strong> la<br />

antena.<br />

Pulsando otra vez flecha<br />

abajo nosotros po<strong>de</strong>mos ver la<br />

Tasa <strong>de</strong> Error <strong>de</strong> Bit (BER) para<br />

señales DVB-S o Proporción<br />

<strong>de</strong> Error <strong>de</strong> Bit Derivada (DER)<br />

para DVB-S2. Si esto no es<br />

bastante, nosotros po<strong>de</strong>mos<br />

■<br />

■<br />

<strong>de</strong>jar la pantalla <strong>de</strong> la búsqueda<br />

<strong>de</strong> señal (con el botón<br />

<strong>de</strong> flecha arriba), y seleccionar<br />

el artículo <strong>de</strong> Espectro en<br />

el menú principal. El Horizon<br />

HD-S2 nos mostrará entonces<br />

una parte <strong>de</strong>l espectro<br />

con el canal bajo prueba en el<br />

centro <strong>de</strong> la pantalla. Sobre el<br />

espectro se presentan varios<br />

parámetros <strong>de</strong> una manera<br />

alterna: frecuencia central,<br />

frecuencia limite, polarización<br />

<strong>de</strong>l LNB y los 22 kHz <strong>de</strong><br />

presencia en la señalada. Con<br />

señales en bajas condiciones<br />

<strong>de</strong> nivel, nosotros <strong>de</strong>bemos<br />

usar el artículo <strong>de</strong>l menú contiguo:<br />

El espectro con un símbolo<br />

<strong>de</strong> la lupa.<br />

Otro artículo <strong>de</strong>l menú interesante<br />

que nosotros po<strong>de</strong>mos<br />

visitar es la Constelación.<br />

Como se pue<strong>de</strong> esperar, se<br />

muestra el diagrama <strong>de</strong> constelación<br />

<strong>de</strong> la señal (QPSK,<br />

8PSK o APSK - <strong>de</strong>pendiendo<br />

<strong>de</strong> la señal). Adicionalmente,<br />

LCD nos muestra la frecuen-<br />

Los contenidos <strong>de</strong> la memoria <strong>de</strong>l HD-S2 <strong>de</strong> Horizon vistos con la aplicación <strong>de</strong> Lector <strong>de</strong> Eventos <strong>de</strong>spués<br />

ejecutar la memorización <strong>de</strong> todos los eventos <strong>de</strong> la señal <strong>de</strong>l satélite HOTBIRD 13E.<br />

La historia <strong>de</strong>l HD-S2 pue<strong>de</strong> exportarse a un archivo <strong>de</strong>l csv y entonces pue<strong>de</strong> importarse a cualquier editor <strong>de</strong><br />

hoja <strong>de</strong> cálculo<br />

cia <strong>de</strong> la señal, la proporción<br />

<strong>de</strong>l símbolo, la modulación,<br />

el FEC, los cambios <strong>de</strong> IQ y<br />

la presencia <strong>de</strong> señal piloto<br />

(DVB-S2).<br />

La lista <strong>de</strong> valores por<br />

<strong>de</strong>fecto <strong>de</strong>l HD-S2 <strong>de</strong> nuestra<br />

muestra <strong>de</strong> prueba contiene<br />

20 transpon<strong>de</strong>dores <strong>de</strong> los 13<br />

satélites europeos más populares.<br />

Las unida<strong>de</strong>s enviadas a<br />

otras regiones, por supuesto,<br />

mostrarán los satélites populares<br />

respectivos. La página<br />

<strong>de</strong> web <strong>de</strong> Horizon www.horizonhge.com<br />

contiene unas<br />

<strong>de</strong>scargas <strong>de</strong> sub-páginas<br />

para el HD-S2, <strong>de</strong> dón<strong>de</strong> en<br />

el futuro se pue<strong>de</strong>n <strong>de</strong>scargar<br />

estas listas específicas rurales.<br />

Sin embargo, si no se está<br />

contento con su lista, también<br />

se pue<strong>de</strong> generar su propia<br />

lista. El usuario pue<strong>de</strong> programar<br />

cuatro transpon<strong>de</strong>dores<br />

comunes para DVB-S y otros<br />

cuatro para DVB-S2. Son<br />

accesibles en el menú <strong>de</strong> Personalización.<br />

Aquí se <strong>de</strong>finen<br />

todos los parámetros necesarios:<br />

La frecuencia <strong>de</strong> LOF,<br />

la señal <strong>de</strong> 22 kHz, frecuencia<br />

<strong>de</strong>l transpon<strong>de</strong>dor, la proporción<br />

<strong>de</strong>l símbolo, FEC (pue<strong>de</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong>jarse como <strong>de</strong>sconocido =<br />

Auto), voltaje <strong>de</strong>l LNB, cambios<br />

<strong>de</strong> IQ y piloto (solo para<br />

DVB-S2; pue<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>jarse como<br />

Auto).<br />

Una característica importante<br />

<strong>de</strong>l medidor es su habilidad<br />

<strong>de</strong> enviar las ór<strong>de</strong>nes <strong>de</strong><br />

DiSEqC. El HD-S2 es compatible<br />

con DiSEqC 1.0 y 1.1.<br />

En artículos separados <strong>de</strong>l<br />

menú, se pue<strong>de</strong> seleccionar<br />

uno <strong>de</strong> los 2 satélites, uno <strong>de</strong><br />

los 4 satélites o uno <strong>de</strong> los 16<br />

satélites. Es más, el Horizon<br />

HD-S2 pue<strong>de</strong> enviar las ór<strong>de</strong>nes<br />

apropiadas para manejar<br />

sistemas <strong>de</strong> LNB Twin en los<br />

que no sólo se selecciona uno<br />

<strong>de</strong> los dos satélites sino también<br />

la sub-banda y polarización.<br />

Desgraciadamente, no<br />

se pue<strong>de</strong> usar el HD-S2 para<br />

controlar motores <strong>de</strong> DiSEqC.<br />

Si piensa que esto es todo<br />

que lo que el HD-S2 pue<strong>de</strong><br />

hacer para usted, está equivocado.<br />

Por ejemplo, tiene los<br />

artículos <strong>de</strong>l menú especiales,<br />

especialmente para probar el<br />

servicio <strong>de</strong> Internet-vía-satélite<br />

Astra2Connect que busca<br />

los transpon<strong>de</strong>dores <strong>de</strong>dicados<br />

para este servicio. Otra<br />

función bastante rara es que<br />

exten<strong>de</strong>rán la versatilidad<br />

<strong>de</strong>l medidor con experiencias<br />

reales. Se necesita una<br />

alimentación <strong>de</strong> 21 V para el<br />

tiene ningún problema con<br />

eso. Tiene un artículo especial<br />

+<br />

Un medidor <strong>de</strong> peso ligero, compacto y <strong>fácil</strong> <strong>de</strong><br />

usar para la alineación <strong>de</strong> la antena <strong>de</strong> satélite.<br />

Una práctica bolsa. La batería muy buena. Inesperadamente<br />

muchos rasgos en un instrumento<br />

LNB Monobloque<br />

JQB4P - LNBF <strong>de</strong> 4.3° Quad<br />

Monobloque <strong>de</strong> Jiuzhou<br />

para ASTRA 1 en 19.2° E y<br />

ASTRA 3 en 23.5° E<br />

En Europa, probablemente el LNBF más popular<br />

monobloque está hecho para un espacio <strong>de</strong> 6°. Un poco<br />

menos populares son los LNBF para 3° <strong>de</strong> separación.<br />

¿Pero que pasa si se quieren recibir<br />

2 satélites que están a una<br />

separación <strong>de</strong> 4.3°, como<br />

el ASTRA a 19.2° Este<br />

y el ASTRA a 23.5°<br />

Este? No funcionarán<br />

los monobloques<br />

<strong>de</strong> 6° ni <strong>de</strong> 3°.<br />

Afortunadamente,<br />

algunos fabricantes<br />

notaron la necesidad <strong>de</strong>l<br />

mercado y <strong>de</strong>sarrollaron<br />

los monobloques <strong>de</strong> 4.3°.<br />

Uno <strong>de</strong> esos fabricantes que<br />

han visto la necesidad <strong>de</strong>l<br />

mercado es Jiuzhou, una<br />

compañía bien conocida<br />

por los lectores <strong>de</strong> <strong>TELE</strong>satélite.<br />

Hace algún tiempo,<br />

nosotros probamos sus<br />

monobloques <strong>de</strong> 6° (<strong>TELE</strong>satélite<br />

06-07/2008). Ahora<br />

nosotros <strong>de</strong>cidimos echar<br />

una mirada muy íntima al<br />

JQB4P - el monobloque<br />

quad <strong>de</strong> un espacio <strong>de</strong><br />

satélites <strong>de</strong> 4.3°.<br />

El monobloque se contiene<br />

en una caja <strong>de</strong> metal<br />

sellada con silicona.<br />

Es bastante<br />

pesado<br />

por lo que se<br />

<strong>de</strong>be seleccionar<br />

un plato<br />

con soporte <strong>de</strong><br />

LNBF bastante<br />

sólido. A<strong>de</strong>más<br />

<strong>de</strong>l LNBF nosotros conseguimos un adaptador<br />

plástico para soportes <strong>de</strong> LNBF <strong>de</strong><br />

40 mm. Sin el adaptador, se necesitaría a<br />

un soporte <strong>de</strong> 23 mm. Cuando nosotros<br />

instalamos el JQB4P en nuestra soporte<br />

en él. De esta manera nosotros creamos una<br />

fricción extra y no había ningún riesgo que los<br />

monobloque cambiarían su posición espontáneamente.<br />

La primera prueba que nosotros<br />

hicimos fue comparar la actuación <strong>de</strong> quad <strong>de</strong><br />

Jiuzhou LNBF con nuestro LNBF <strong>de</strong> referencia.<br />

Como referencia usamos LNB monobloque universal<br />

<strong>de</strong> bajo ruido para una separación <strong>de</strong><br />

4.3° (NF=0.2dB). Nosotros usamos un plato <strong>de</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong>splazamiento <strong>de</strong> 85x80 centímetros una proporción<br />

f/D <strong>de</strong> 0.6. Comparamos entre si ambos<br />

LNBs en el enfoque y el LNB <strong>de</strong>scentrado.<br />

Si se examinan las Figuras 1 hasta la 4, se<br />

notará que el quad JQB4P genera ligeramente<br />

solo una salida un poco más baja que el dispositivo<br />

<strong>de</strong> referencia. Para la parte alta <strong>de</strong> la banda<br />

Ku es incluso mejor que nuestra referencia.<br />

Nosotros po<strong>de</strong>mos <strong>de</strong>cir que el nivel <strong>de</strong> salida<br />

<strong>de</strong>l JQB4P es muy bueno para re<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> distribución<br />

<strong>de</strong> tamaño bajo y medio. Sólo para ajustes<br />

<strong>de</strong> antena con cables muy largos se <strong>de</strong>be consi<strong>de</strong>rar<br />

la adición <strong>de</strong> los amplificadores.<br />

¿Y qué hay sobre la actuación frente al<br />

ruido? ¿Un dispositivo quad pue<strong>de</strong> compararse<br />

a la actuación <strong>de</strong> un monobloque simple? Los<br />

resultados <strong>de</strong> las medidas se muestran en<br />

las Figuras 5 a 8. La actuación <strong>de</strong>l JQB4P es<br />

muy buena, prácticamente igual que nuestra<br />

referencia. Normalmente, un dispositivo quad<br />

tiene un resultado <strong>de</strong> peor MER que un dispositivo<br />

simple pero no en este caso. Sólo para<br />

la polarización vertical <strong>de</strong>l LNB central nosotros<br />

po<strong>de</strong>mos observar una ligera peor actuación.<br />

Se ocupa igualmente bien <strong>de</strong> las señales polarizadas<br />

horizontalmente como en el LNB simple<br />

<strong>de</strong> referencia. Nosotros tenemos aun mejores<br />

resultados con el LNB <strong>de</strong>scentrado. Aquí, el<br />

JQB4P es más bueno para la polarización vertical<br />

y prácticamente el mismo para el horizontal.<br />

La próxima cosa que nosotros quisimos probar<br />

fue la igualdad <strong>de</strong> las cuatro salidas <strong>de</strong>l JQB4P.<br />

Las figuras 9 a 12 nos cuentan la historia: no<br />

hay prácticamente ninguna diferencia entre las<br />

cuatro salidas. Sobre todo los resultados <strong>de</strong><br />

MER son casi idénticos. Esto significa que ninguno<br />

<strong>de</strong> los cuatro caminos <strong>de</strong> la señal es superior<br />

o inferior comparado con los otros.<br />

Éste podría ser el final <strong>de</strong> nuestras pruebas<br />

pero nosotros <strong>de</strong>cidimos verificar algo más. Hay<br />

otro satélite que esté a una distancia angular<br />

similar a la <strong>de</strong>l Astra 3 a 23.5° Este. Nosotros<br />

nos referimos al Astra 2 a 28.2° E. La diferencia<br />

no es 4.3° sino 4.7° no quién sabe, ¿quizás será<br />

posible usar el JQB4P para este par <strong>de</strong> satélites?<br />

Nosotros recalibramos el monobloque en<br />

el soporte para que ahora el LNBF <strong>de</strong>scentrado<br />

estuviera en el lado opuesto y verificamos la<br />

señal. Para nuestro <strong>de</strong>leite, nuestro medidor<br />

<strong>de</strong>splegó la sonrisa ver<strong>de</strong> inmediatamente que<br />

significaba que la recepción era posible. Para<br />

compararlo, nosotros tomamos otro sitio en<br />

las dimensiones - vea las Figuras 13 y 14. En<br />

las muestras <strong>de</strong> sintonización hay una pérdida

0.2-0.3 dB<br />

Las cuatro salidas son igualmente buenas<br />

<strong>de</strong> calidad <strong>de</strong> la señal si se comparan<br />

con la recepción <strong>de</strong> los satélites con<br />

un espacio <strong>de</strong> 4.3°. Se pue<strong>de</strong>n esperar<br />

problemas con la recepción <strong>de</strong><br />

algunos transpon<strong>de</strong>dores, sobre todo<br />

con mal tiempo. Sin embargo, los<br />

transpon<strong>de</strong>dores más fuertes todavía<br />

pue<strong>de</strong>n recibir. Y no nos olvi<strong>de</strong>mos<br />

que este dispositivo no está pensado<br />

para esta aplicación. Nosotros lo estiramos<br />

para cumplir nuestra curiosidad<br />

(y esperanzadamente la suya).<br />

<strong>Así</strong> que la i<strong>de</strong>a mejor es usar el<br />

JQB4P para un espacio <strong>de</strong> 4.3º <strong>de</strong><br />

acuerdo con sus especificaciones.<br />

Estará satisfecho con los resultados.<br />

El recibir 2 satélites separados por<br />

4.7° todavía es posible pero no todos<br />

los transpon<strong>de</strong>dores se garantizan en<br />

mal tiempo. Para un uso no normal,<br />

se pue<strong>de</strong> consi<strong>de</strong>rar usar el JQB4P<br />

DOEBIS Comerciante <strong>de</strong> Satélite al por mayor, Alemania<br />

DOEBIS se está Extendiendo<br />

Exactamente hace tres años el <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite publicó un informe sobre DOEBIS, un<br />

comerciante <strong>de</strong>l satélite al por mayor en Alemania. Nosotros pensamos que era<br />

una buena hora para preguntarle a DOEBIS cómo han resistido todo el embate <strong>de</strong><br />

la crisis. Nosotros recibimos una respuesta bastante sorpren<strong>de</strong>nte: “¡ Nosotros nos<br />

estamos extendiendo !” dice Rainer Werking, Gerente <strong>de</strong> DOEBIS. La compañía usó<br />

la crisis económica que comenzó en 2008 y en lugar <strong>de</strong> ralentizarse ellos optaron por<br />

una estrategia <strong>de</strong> carrera: ellos usaron la oportunidad <strong>de</strong> invertir y principalmente<br />

extendieron su fuerza <strong>de</strong> las ventas.<br />

<strong>de</strong> aumento “.<br />

Ésos son unos excelentes resultados<br />

<strong>de</strong> ventas y Wolfgang Pflaum


explica la razón para esto: “ Nosotros<br />

hemos agregado dos marcas <strong>de</strong> fábrica<br />

muy fuertes a nuestro surtido: TOP-<br />

FIELD para el segmento <strong>de</strong> alta gama<br />

y STRONG para el segmento medio “.<br />

DOEBIS rápidamente permitió a sus<br />

clientes conocer todo sobre estos dos<br />

nuevos nombres y asi se han obtenido<br />

unos resultados <strong>de</strong> ventas muy buenos.<br />

Pero DOEBIS no ven<strong>de</strong> a usuarios finales,<br />

entonces, ¿que tipos <strong>de</strong> clientes <strong>de</strong><br />

DOEBIS son?<br />

“ Los clientes principales <strong>de</strong> DOEBIS<br />

siempre han estado en la categoría<br />

<strong>de</strong> especialistas <strong>de</strong> instalaciones “,<br />

informa Wolfgang Pflaum. Las nuevas<br />

activida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong>l Equipo <strong>de</strong> Cuentas<br />

para incluir las ventas por correo clásicas<br />

así como distribuidores domésticos<br />

e internacionales. También tienen una<br />

■<br />

Una mirada al gran almacén <strong>de</strong><br />

DOEBIS. La compañía está muy<br />

centralmente localizada y pue<strong>de</strong><br />

entregar igualmente a clientes en<br />

Alemania <strong>de</strong>l norte como a Alemania<br />

<strong>de</strong>l sur así como todos los países<br />

vecinos.<br />

alta <strong>de</strong>manda estos clientes que necesitan<br />

una atención muy especial.<br />

Rainer Werking nos da un atisbo al<br />

diseño geográfico: “ el 75% <strong>de</strong> nuestro<br />

volumen tienen como <strong>de</strong>stino Alemania<br />

mientras que el 25% van al<br />

extranjero “. Estos porcentajes realmente<br />

están iguales que hace tres años<br />

cuando nosotros informamos por primera<br />

vez sobre DOEBIS (<strong>TELE</strong>-satélite<br />

10-11/2007). Comparando los números<br />

<strong>de</strong> hace tres años nosotros notamos<br />

algo más: “ La distribución <strong>de</strong> productos<br />

también ha permanecido sobre lo<br />

mismo “, dice Rainer Werking, “ el 70%<br />

son receptores, el 10% LNBs y el 5%<br />

analizadores <strong>de</strong> señal “.<br />

A largo plazo, DOEBIS está esperando<br />

un tirón en el número <strong>de</strong> receptores,<br />

particularmente los receptores<br />

<strong>de</strong> SD más baratos. “ Por esta razón<br />

DOEBIS está buscando los nuevos<br />

mercados. Nosotros estamos construyendo<br />

nuevos estándares en calidad y<br />

nuevas tecnologías “, dice Rainer Werking<br />

cuando él explica su estrategia<br />

<strong>de</strong> diversificación. Hacia don<strong>de</strong> van los<br />

receptores <strong>de</strong> HD, Rainer Werking tiene<br />

un poco <strong>de</strong> sorpresa para nosotros: “¡<br />

Nosotros hemos <strong>de</strong>sarrollado nuestra<br />

propia marca <strong>de</strong>l receptores !”<br />

DOEBIS empezó recientemente<br />

comercializando su propia línea <strong>de</strong><br />

receptores bajo el nombre JAEGER .<br />

Esta línea es el resultado <strong>de</strong> muchas<br />

sugerencias <strong>de</strong> clientes. “ Con el<br />

JAEGER HDCI 2010 nosotros ofrecemos<br />

un receptor <strong>de</strong> alta <strong>de</strong>finición en<br />

DVB-S2 y con MPEG4 “, explica Rainer<br />

Werking, “ otro mo<strong>de</strong>lo es el JAEGER<br />

HD+ 2011 “. Estos dos receptores están


ahora disponibles; un tercer mo<strong>de</strong>lo se<br />

introducirá con la publicación <strong>de</strong> esta<br />

edición; el receptor HDTV JAEGER HD+<br />

2011 CI+.<br />

<strong>TELE</strong>-satélite está planeando un<br />

informe <strong>de</strong> prueba sobre este mo<strong>de</strong>lo<br />

en una próxima edición. “ Nuestros<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>los <strong>de</strong> JAEGER son ‘ Montados en<br />

Alemania’ “, revela Rainer Werking. El<br />

gerente <strong>de</strong> Cuentas Importantes Wolfgang<br />

Pflaum continúa, “ Para el 2010<br />

nosotros esperamos una ventas <strong>de</strong> los<br />

receptores <strong>de</strong> JAEGER estén alre<strong>de</strong>dor<br />

<strong>de</strong>l 5%; para el 2011 nosotros proyectamos<br />

un aumento al 10%. A medio<br />

plazo nosotros estamos buscando que<br />

la línea <strong>de</strong> receptores <strong>de</strong> JAEGER constituya<br />

aproximadamente 20% <strong>de</strong> las<br />

ventas <strong>de</strong> receptores <strong>de</strong> DOEBIS “.<br />

Como estamos en el asunto <strong>de</strong> los<br />

receptores, nosotros quisimos saber<br />

qué diferentes rangos se pue<strong>de</strong>n recibir<br />

con los receptores <strong>de</strong> DOEBIS. Rainer<br />

Werking estaba listo con la respuesta:<br />

“ En el 2010, el 65% <strong>de</strong> los receptores<br />

vinieron con sintonizadores <strong>de</strong>l saté-<br />

■<br />

■<br />

lite, el 10% con sintonizadores terrestres<br />

y el 25% con sintonizadores <strong>de</strong><br />

cable. Nosotros estamos esperando un<br />

aumento en los sintonizadores <strong>de</strong> cable<br />

hasta un 30% y bajar un poco en los<br />

receptores terrestres en el 2011 hasta<br />

el 8% y en los receptores <strong>de</strong>l satélite<br />

bajar al 62%.”<br />

Los Gerentes <strong>de</strong> DOEBIS están<br />

esperando para el 2012: “ Los últimos<br />

transpon<strong>de</strong>dores <strong>de</strong> la TV analógica se<br />

<strong>de</strong>sconectarán y los millones <strong>de</strong> impelentes<br />

<strong>de</strong> espectadores tendrán que<br />

actualizar sus receptores a digitales “,<br />

comenta Rainer Werking, “ para entonces<br />

nuestro almacén estará lleno <strong>de</strong><br />

receptores digitales “.<br />

Si se echa una mirada a la paleta <strong>de</strong><br />

productos <strong>de</strong> DOEBIS, se verá que está<br />

hecha <strong>de</strong> productos <strong>de</strong> calidad superior<br />

<strong>de</strong> algunos <strong>de</strong> los nombres más gran<strong>de</strong>s<br />

en el negocio. No <strong>de</strong>be aparecer<br />

entonces como ninguna sorpresa que<br />

DOEBIS también ofrezca el LNB <strong>de</strong> fibra<br />

óptica. “ Ya 5% <strong>de</strong> nuestros clientes<br />

<strong>de</strong> distribución sólo han optado por el<br />

Para el 2011 nosotros esperamos este<br />

número pueda aumentar al 10%.”<br />

Todavía podría tomar un poco tiempo,<br />

pero llegará el tiempo cuando sólo se<br />

ven<strong>de</strong>rán LNBs <strong>de</strong> fibra óptica. “ Estos<br />

LNBs pue<strong>de</strong> ser caros pero son muy<br />

buenos y pue<strong>de</strong>n usarse en cualquier<br />

aplicación “., confirma Rainer Werking.<br />

<strong>TELE</strong>-satélite está <strong>de</strong> acuerdo categóricamente<br />

con este sentimiento. Normalmente<br />

pasa que unos construyen<br />

un camino que todos tienen que seguir<br />

en el futuro.<br />

DOEBIS es <strong>de</strong>finitivamente uno <strong>de</strong><br />

esos que construyen el camino. Ellos<br />

ven estas nuevas oportunida<strong>de</strong>s y se<br />

establecen en ellos.<br />

DOEBIS ha estado funcionando<br />

durante 22 años y durante este tiempo<br />

ha experimentado todos las noveda<strong>de</strong>s<br />

tecnológicas y se ha nutrido <strong>de</strong><br />

la industria <strong>de</strong>l satélite y todavía está<br />

pensando continuar creciendo. ¡ Eso es<br />

lo que más se parece al éxito

Mercado <strong>de</strong> los Proveedores<br />

Los lectores <strong>de</strong> esta revista han estado familiarizados<br />

durante años con el fabricante <strong>de</strong> lectores <strong>de</strong> tarjetas<br />

06-07/2007 nosotros publicamos el primer informe<br />

sobre esta compañía danesa que ha propuesto una i<strong>de</strong>a<br />

gloriosa: ¿Cómo po<strong>de</strong>r transmitir los datos <strong>de</strong> la tarjeta <strong>de</strong><br />

Kruså<br />

(Padborg)


Kurt Olesen es el cerebro inteligente<br />

que hay <strong>de</strong>trás <strong>de</strong> SmartWi. Él fundó la<br />

compañía en el 2005 y cuando nosotros lo<br />

visitamos la primera vez fue en el 2007<br />

en el momento que él estaba montando<br />

una ola gigantesca <strong>de</strong> éxito. Se vendieron<br />

60,000 productos <strong>de</strong> SmartWi en 2007,<br />

excepto que las figuras <strong>de</strong> las ventas gradualmente<br />

fueron disminuyendo los años<br />

siguientes. “ En el 2010 nosotros ven<strong>de</strong>remos<br />

aproximadamente 35,000 dispositivos<br />

<strong>de</strong> SmartWi “.<br />

Todavía, Kurt Olesen tiene una perspectiva<br />

sumamente segura en el futuro, y por<br />

una razón: “ Durante la fecha <strong>de</strong> la publicación<br />

<strong>de</strong> esta edición <strong>de</strong> <strong>TELE</strong>-satélite y en<br />

la feria <strong>de</strong> mustras <strong>de</strong>l IBC nosotros lanzaremos<br />

la segunda generación <strong>de</strong> SmartWi”<br />

, Kurt Olesen explica y orgullosamente nos<br />

muestra el nuevo mo<strong>de</strong>lo <strong>de</strong> SmartWi. “<br />

Funciona <strong>de</strong> la misma manera como la primera<br />

generación “, continúa. “ Los clientes<br />

simplemente conectan la tarjeta <strong>de</strong> la TV<br />

<strong>de</strong> pago en la unidad y pue<strong>de</strong>n entonces<br />

mirar la TV <strong>de</strong> pago en una segunda <strong>TELE</strong>-<br />

VISIÓN en usando una tarjeta adicional<br />

que se conecta al dispositivo principal vía<br />

las señales <strong>de</strong> radio “.<br />

La nueva SmartWi ha hecho un salto<br />

cualitativo que pue<strong>de</strong> verse claramente<br />

incluso en el exterior. Jens Glad, el hijo <strong>de</strong><br />

Kurt Olesen es el responsable para la tecnología<br />

y diseño <strong>de</strong>ntro <strong>de</strong>l negocio y ha<br />

<strong>de</strong>terminado un diseño elegante <strong>de</strong>l dispositivo.<br />

Mientras que la primera generación<br />

tenía aspecto <strong>de</strong> computadora, el nuevo<br />

SmartWi alar<strong>de</strong>a un diseño premiado que<br />

casi clama por presentarlo con orgullo, en<br />

lugar <strong>de</strong> escon<strong>de</strong>rlo profundamente <strong>de</strong>trás<br />

<strong>de</strong>l armario. Es un recurso <strong>de</strong> estilo y<br />

ganará <strong>fácil</strong>mente también a la señora <strong>de</strong><br />

la casa, para que no <strong>de</strong>sespere con las clásicas<br />

objeciones contra otra cosa técnica.<br />

Va sin <strong>de</strong>cir que el aspecto no engaña<br />

en este caso. Simplemente escuche a Jens<br />

Glad listando todas las innovaciones que<br />

han tenido lugar: “ La principal mejora es un<br />

procesador más rápido y la nueva memoria<br />

<strong>de</strong>l programa que han doblado en la capacidad<br />

<strong>de</strong> la versión anterior “. Esto hace<br />

que la segunda generación <strong>de</strong> SmartWi sea<br />

■<br />

consi<strong>de</strong>rablemente más rápida y mucho<br />

más sensible. Pero hay más.<br />

“ La antena incorporada se coloca ahora<br />

en un diseño que le permite funcionar a<br />

lo largo <strong>de</strong>l lado longitudinal <strong>de</strong>l dispositivo<br />

que constituye la parte más <strong>de</strong>cisoria<br />

<strong>de</strong> la capacidad <strong>de</strong> una buena transmisión<br />

cuando se compara con el diseño más viejo<br />

“, nos explica Jens.<br />

Otra característica muy interesante es la<br />

segunda ranura <strong>de</strong> la tarjeta en la caja. “<br />

El nuevo SmartWi tiene todo el hardware<br />

requerido por usar dos tarjetas inteligentes<br />

al mismo tiempo “ , según Jens Olesen. No<br />

se activan mo<strong>de</strong>los que se envían actualmente<br />

para el uso <strong>de</strong> tarjeta duales, pero<br />

con un software <strong>de</strong> puesta al día se abrirá<br />

esa característica en breve.<br />

Los productos <strong>de</strong> SmartWi <strong>de</strong> la primera<br />

generación eran principalmente vendidos<br />

directamente al cliente, y Kurt Olesen está<br />

<strong>de</strong>cidido en entrar en un territorio <strong>de</strong>sconocido<br />

también en este área. La segunda<br />

generación SmartWi está claramente<br />

En esta casa en el pueblo pequeño <strong>de</strong> Kruså en el<br />

sur <strong>de</strong> Dinamarca, cerca <strong>de</strong> la frontera <strong>de</strong> Alemania,<br />

está situado SmartWi. Tres astas <strong>de</strong> ban<strong>de</strong>ra llevan<br />

orgullosamente la marca <strong>de</strong> SmartWi y atraen la<br />

atención <strong>de</strong> los que pasan por <strong>de</strong>lante.<br />

■<br />

Kurt Olesen es el fundador y el director<br />

gerente <strong>de</strong> SmartWi. Aquí nos muestra una<br />

SmartWi <strong>de</strong> la última generación. Esta versión<br />

reforzada piensa que es una versión que<br />

atraerá a los proveedores <strong>de</strong> contenidos y<br />

por consiguiente empujará el negocio <strong>de</strong> la<br />

compañía significativamente.<br />

orientada a la comercialización por el proveedor.<br />

“ Esto también es un motivo por lo<br />

que nosotros hemos cambiado el diseño y<br />

hemos cambiado al color negro “, agrega<br />

Jens Glad, quién es el responsable <strong>de</strong> esa<br />

<strong>de</strong>cisión. “ Con el nuevo diseño los proveedores<br />

<strong>de</strong> contenidos podrán ofrecer el<br />

SmartWi bajo su propia marca <strong>de</strong> fábrica “.<br />

■<br />

A propósito, él tiene razón al <strong>de</strong>clarar que<br />

Vea <strong>de</strong> antemano las imágenes <strong>de</strong>l nuevo<br />

SmartWi: el primer dispositivo <strong>de</strong> la generación<br />

con su diseño <strong>de</strong> prototipo a la izquierda, y la<br />

segunda generación en SmartWi y sus aspecto<br />

elegante a la <strong>de</strong>recha. El viejo SmartWi aloja la<br />

tarjeta <strong>de</strong> subscripción en el lado, mientras que<br />

la tarjeta <strong>de</strong>saparece completamente en la nueva<br />

versión, creando una apariencia <strong>de</strong> ladrillo.<br />

los proveedores ignoran que existe un gran<br />

mercado obstinado por lo que se refiere a<br />

las segundas o terceras Televisiones en las<br />

casas. “¿Realmente conoce a alguien con<br />

sólo un aparato <strong>de</strong> TV? “ nos pregunta Kurt<br />

Olesen. Todavía, la mayoría <strong>de</strong> las licencias<br />

<strong>de</strong> los proveedores a estos clientes<br />

está en la oscuridad, porque ellos o les<br />

obligan a que pidan una segunda subscripción<br />

al precio completo (qué está fuera <strong>de</strong><br />

64 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

la pregunta para la mayoría), u ofrecen una<br />

segundas tarjetas inteligentes a precios<br />

algo más reducidos, pero no hay ninguna<br />

manera <strong>de</strong> saber entonces <strong>de</strong> nuevo quién<br />

usará estas tarjetas adicionales y ninguna<br />

manera <strong>de</strong> asegurarse realmente que ellos<br />

se quedan en la misma casa.<br />

Si, por otro lado, los proveedores <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>n<br />

directamente a cualquiera ofrecerles el<br />

SmartWi a sus subscriptores o por lo menos<br />

oficialmente una licencia <strong>de</strong> él, cada subscriptor<br />

podrá usar su segunda o tercera TV<br />

<strong>de</strong> una manera legal, como el rango inalámbrico<br />

<strong>de</strong>l SmartWi que sólo cubre una<br />

sola casa. Esta manera los proveedores <strong>de</strong><br />

contenidos no necesitan el miedo <strong>de</strong> que la<br />

tarjeta se comparta <strong>de</strong> una manera ilegal,<br />

como esto no es posible con el sistema <strong>de</strong><br />

SmartWi en el primer lugar. Kurt Olesen<br />

está absolutamente convencido que “ los<br />

proveedores <strong>de</strong> contenidos pue<strong>de</strong>n probar<br />

este nuevo gran mercado “. Por otro lado él<br />

también es consciente <strong>de</strong> un dilema subyacente:<br />

“ Los técnicos <strong>de</strong> las compañías <strong>de</strong><br />

los proveedores están normalmente abiertos<br />

para el SmartWi, pero a las secciones<br />

comerciales les preocupa menos la tecnología<br />

o simplemente no conocen que es lo<br />

que hace nuestro producto “.<br />

Sin embargo, Kurt Olesen está seguro<br />

<strong>de</strong> una cosa: El nuevo diseño atraerá la<br />

atención <strong>de</strong> las personas <strong>de</strong> los <strong>de</strong>partamentos<br />

comerciales que realmente están<br />

en camino <strong>de</strong> dar el primer paso a lanzar<br />

la segunda generación SmartWi para que<br />

los proveedores también la comercialicen.


■<br />

Jens Glad es el hijo <strong>de</strong>l fundador Kurt Olesen y está<br />

al cargo <strong>de</strong> la tecnología. Aquí po<strong>de</strong>mos verlo con<br />

la programación <strong>de</strong> la SmartWi. Cada producto se<br />

etiqueta con un único código <strong>de</strong> software y se etiqueta<br />

con un número <strong>de</strong> serie individual. De esta manera es<br />

posible rastrear cada SmartWi.<br />

■<br />

Ejgild Lund es el gerente <strong>de</strong><br />

administración en SmartWi. Él<br />

se cuida <strong>de</strong>l trabajo <strong>de</strong> oficina,<br />

facturación y teneduría <strong>de</strong> libros.<br />

66 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

De hecho, SmartWi es un producto que<br />

no sólo cubrió un nicho pequeño <strong>de</strong>l mercado<br />

cuando fue introducido por primera<br />

vez. Este nicho, sin embargo, estaba constantemente<br />

extendido gracias a un espíritu<br />

<strong>de</strong> innovación y una estrategia <strong>de</strong> perseverancia.<br />

Una compañía que empezó con tres<br />

personas se ha convertido en un funcionamiento<br />

<strong>de</strong> 6 personas. Y este número<br />

pue<strong>de</strong> incluso subir más allá en cuanto<br />

SmartWi consiga una posición establecida<br />

en el mercado <strong>de</strong> los proveedores.<br />

La primera señal <strong>de</strong> éxito ya está manifiesta:<br />

“ El proveedor eslovaco SATRO ya<br />

está usando los productos <strong>de</strong> SmartWi hoy<br />

“, nos dice Kurt Olesen y proporciona el<br />

testamento al nuevo curso <strong>de</strong> acción <strong>de</strong> la<br />

compañía.<br />

SmartWi está firmemente fijado en su<br />

jornada <strong>de</strong> humil<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> salida al mercado<br />

establecido gracias a un gradual, todavía<br />

en <strong>de</strong>sarrollo, producto <strong>de</strong>l nicho inicial.<br />

¡Otra historia <strong>de</strong> éxito excitante!<br />

■<br />

El proveedor eslovaco <strong>de</strong> contenidos<br />

SATRO ya está ofreciendo al sistema <strong>de</strong><br />

SmartWi a sus subscriptores.

accesorios para distribución <strong>de</strong> la señal <strong>de</strong><br />

68 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

■<br />

Kevin Spaun, director gerente<br />

<strong>de</strong> SPAUN POWER GmbH


En la esquina más sur occi<strong>de</strong>ntal Alemania,<br />

cerca <strong>de</strong>l Lago Constance, está situado<br />

el pequeño pueblo <strong>de</strong> Singen que es don<strong>de</strong><br />

SPAUN ha tenido su cuartel general durante<br />

más <strong>de</strong> 40 años. Siempre se ha puesto toda<br />

la experiencia ganada en décadas <strong>de</strong> especialización<br />

tecnológica en hacer aún mejores<br />

los gran<strong>de</strong>s productos. Hoy, la marca<br />

<strong>de</strong> fábrica SPAUN es un sello para los productos<br />

<strong>de</strong> calidad superior e innovadores en<br />

el negocio <strong>de</strong>l satélite y más allá. Esto ha<br />

llevado a SPAUN a empezar a ofrecer <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong><br />

hace algunos años una garantía completa <strong>de</strong><br />

5 años para sus productos.<br />

En el curso <strong>de</strong> todos estos años Friedrich<br />

Spaun, el fundador <strong>de</strong> SPAUN, y su hijo Kevin<br />

que han llevado la dirección <strong>de</strong> la compañía<br />

notaron una cosa. “ Siempre que un dispositivo<br />

se enviaba para su reparación, el componente<br />

que era <strong>de</strong>fectuoso en la mayoría<br />

<strong>de</strong> los casos era la unidad <strong>de</strong> alimentación<br />

“, nos revela Kevin Spaun. “ Y a propósito,<br />

este diagnóstico es verdad para casi todos<br />

los dispositivos electrónicos “.<br />

Los con<strong>de</strong>nsadores electrolíticos en estos<br />

dispositivos normalmente son la culpa <strong>de</strong> los<br />

fracasos. “ En el mercado hay varios con<strong>de</strong>nsadores<br />

electrolíticos diferentes que pue<strong>de</strong>n<br />

acabar con la vida <strong>de</strong>l producto. Se diseñan<br />

Singen am<br />

Bo<strong>de</strong>nsee<br />

los mo<strong>de</strong>los menos caros para una vida <strong>de</strong><br />

servicio total <strong>de</strong> unas 3,000 horas <strong>de</strong> funcionamiento,<br />

mientras los tipos más sofisticados<br />

pue<strong>de</strong>n durar durante 10,000 horas o<br />

más “. Obviamente, los con<strong>de</strong>nsadores electrolíticos<br />

no <strong>de</strong>jan <strong>de</strong> trabajar <strong>de</strong> repente<br />

<strong>de</strong>spués <strong>de</strong> 3,000 o 10,000 horas; la vida <strong>de</strong>l<br />

producto dada se refiere a un promedio <strong>de</strong><br />

horas bajo la temperatura máxima <strong>de</strong> operación<br />

y consumo <strong>de</strong> potencia al máximo.<br />

Como estas condiciones extremas normalmente<br />

solo ocurren en situaciones raras,<br />

los con<strong>de</strong>nsadores exce<strong>de</strong>n <strong>de</strong> mucho éstas<br />

tasas <strong>de</strong> horas.<br />

Como la mayoría <strong>de</strong> los fabricantes <strong>de</strong> dispositivos<br />

electrónicos, SPAUN usó fuentes <strong>de</strong><br />

alimentación que las fabricaba un tercero en<br />

sus unida<strong>de</strong>s. Después <strong>de</strong> todo, una compañía<br />

que son productores <strong>de</strong> multi conmutadores<br />

no <strong>de</strong>ben enfocar su trabajo en unida<strong>de</strong>s<br />

<strong>de</strong> fuente <strong>de</strong> alimentación, ¿correcto? Bien,<br />

si el primer principio <strong>de</strong> guía es la calidad y<br />

se proporciona una extensión <strong>de</strong> garantía <strong>de</strong><br />

5 años en todos sus productos, su enfoque<br />

tiene que estar en cada componente. “ Al<br />

principio nosotros exigimos <strong>de</strong> nuestro proveedor<br />

usar sólo con<strong>de</strong>nsadores electrolíticos<br />

<strong>de</strong> calidad “, nos recuerda Kevin Spaun.<br />

Pero ni siquiera al final <strong>de</strong>l día, este requisito<br />

no era bastante para garantizar la calidad<br />

exigida por SPAUN. A<strong>de</strong>más <strong>de</strong> la calidad y<br />

fiabilidad, un fabricante serio tiene también<br />

que mirar la eficacia energética, y por lo que<br />

SPAUN comprendió finalmente que sus especificaciones<br />

para las fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación<br />

fabricadas por terceros se habían hecho tan<br />

complejas y exigentes que empezó el sentido<br />

<strong>de</strong> fabricarlas por ellos mismos y mirar<br />

producción interna <strong>de</strong> estos componentes.<br />

“ Los fabricantes in<strong>de</strong>pendientes siempre<br />

tienen que mantener un equilibrio entre los<br />

costes y la calidad <strong>de</strong> los componente para<br />

po<strong>de</strong>r ofrecer un precio competitivo. Si nosotros,<br />

por otro lado, nos lo producimos todo,<br />

nosotros tenemos el proceso completo bajo<br />

nuestro propio control y po<strong>de</strong>mos seleccionar<br />

cada componente individualmente para<br />

que el producto a fabricar encuentre nuestras<br />

severas <strong>de</strong>mandas. Ésta es la única<br />

manera <strong>de</strong> lograr la calidad que nosotros<br />

esperamos “.<br />

Una vez se había tomado esta <strong>de</strong>cisión,<br />

todo fue muy rápido: SPAUN POWER GmbH<br />

se fundó como una nueva compañía y también<br />

se creó un nuevo taller <strong>de</strong> producción.<br />

“ Nosotros invertimos unos 2 millones <strong>de</strong><br />

Euros”, nos explica Kevin Spaun mientras<br />

nos da una visita a los talleres <strong>de</strong> producción.<br />

La nueva compañía lleva ahora dos años en<br />

marcha. “ Nosotros estamos en una posición<br />

Un escaparate <strong>de</strong> muestras<br />

en el área <strong>de</strong> la recepción<br />

muestra el rango <strong>de</strong> productos<br />

<strong>de</strong> SPAUN. La compañía no<br />

sólo produce las fuentes <strong>de</strong><br />

alimentación conmutadas<br />

sino también todos los tipos<br />

<strong>de</strong> multi-conmutadores<br />

así como conmutadores<br />

DiSEqC y componentes para<br />

la distribución <strong>de</strong> la señal,<br />

incluso transmisores y<br />

receptores <strong>de</strong> fibra óptica.<br />

70 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

para producir aproximadamente 500.000 unida<strong>de</strong>s<br />

<strong>de</strong> fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación anuales “, y<br />

continúa. “ Con este número <strong>de</strong> unida<strong>de</strong>s nosotros<br />

po<strong>de</strong>mos no sólo equipar todos nuestros<br />

propios productos, sino que también po<strong>de</strong>mos<br />

suministrar a terceras compañías “. De hecho,<br />

más <strong>de</strong>l 10% <strong>de</strong> la producción anual se ven<strong>de</strong><br />

a otras compañías que han entendido que un<br />

coste inicialmente más alto para las fuentes <strong>de</strong><br />

alimentación conmutadas a la larga compensa<br />

más a una vida <strong>de</strong> servicio extendida. Kevin<br />

Spaun <strong>de</strong>talla el razonamiento con la frase: “<br />

La calidad siempre gana. Aun cuando pue<strong>de</strong><br />

parecer un mito al principio, <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong> un punto <strong>de</strong><br />

vista completamente financiero, el usar componentes<br />

más baratos, el beneficio <strong>de</strong>saparece<br />

cuando los componentes fallan <strong>de</strong>spués <strong>de</strong> un<br />

corto tiempo. Elegir una alta calidad <strong>de</strong> salida<br />

resulta ser una <strong>de</strong>cisión mucho más sabia “.<br />

Esto es <strong>de</strong> una importancia particular para<br />

todos los productos que tienen un ciclo <strong>de</strong> vida<br />

que dura muchos años. “ Nosotros proporcionamos<br />

nuestros productos para sistemas <strong>de</strong><br />

distribución <strong>de</strong> señal en hoteles o en gran<strong>de</strong>s<br />

edificios resi<strong>de</strong>nciales “, él continúa. “ Algunas<br />

<strong>de</strong> estas premisas tienen varios miles <strong>de</strong> usuarios<br />

y el equipo electrónico tiene que trabajar<br />

fiablemente durante años o incluso décadas sin<br />

fracaso “. Una compañía como SPAUN pue<strong>de</strong><br />

encontrarse sólo en ese nivel <strong>de</strong> calidad con<br />

productos <strong>de</strong> alta calidad. Si las unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong><br />

fuente <strong>de</strong> alimentación requirieren para esa<br />

meta no estár disponibles en el mercado,<br />

entonces SPAUN tiene que resolver el problema<br />

con la fabricación interna.<br />

Todavía, la calidad no es el único atributo<br />

que ha llevado SPAUN para ponerse a fabricar<br />

unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> fuente <strong>de</strong> alimentación. “ Nuestras<br />

fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación conmutadas consumen<br />

hasta un 25% menos energía que los componentes<br />

convencionales “. Una cosa que no <strong>de</strong>be<br />

infravalorarse en esto es consi<strong>de</strong>rar el hecho<br />

que la mayoría <strong>de</strong> los productos <strong>de</strong> SPAUN se<br />

trabajan todo el tiempo y así constantemente<br />

requieren alimentación eléctrica. Después <strong>de</strong><br />

todo, un multi conmutador o amplificador <strong>de</strong>be<br />

estar corriendo y disponible en todo momento.<br />

No hay que <strong>de</strong>cir que los multi conmutadores<br />

<strong>de</strong> SPAUN han estado provistos con un modo<br />

<strong>de</strong> reserva <strong>de</strong> energía durante años, pero las<br />

economías <strong>de</strong> energía adicionales <strong>de</strong> cerca<br />

<strong>de</strong>l 30% incluso es un gran beneficio en estos<br />

tiempos.<br />

“ Siendo bastante francos, nuestras nuevas<br />

unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> alimentación se pagan por ellas<br />

mismas, “, <strong>de</strong>clara Kevin Spaun y explica los<br />

cálculos. La factura <strong>de</strong> la electricidad <strong>de</strong> los<br />

usuarios será más baja todos los meses “ y<br />

todas nuestras unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> alimentación se<br />

diseñan para estas conectadas a cualquier voltaje<br />

entre 100 y 240 V lo que las hacen verda<strong>de</strong>ramente<br />

universales “, él también agrega<br />

con una indirecta al potencial para los productos<br />

<strong>de</strong> SPAUN para las compañías fuera <strong>de</strong><br />

Europa. “ Actualmente SPAUN POWER emplea<br />

tres ingenieros muy especializados y en un<br />

futuro cercano nosotros lanzaremos un rango


<strong>de</strong> fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación conmutadas para<br />

proporcionar a alimentación a LEDs. Nosotros<br />

esperamos que será un mercado <strong>de</strong> crecimiento<br />

significante en el futuro. Naturalmente,<br />

nosotros también po<strong>de</strong>mos usar nuestra<br />

extensa especialización extensa para <strong>de</strong>sarrollar<br />

y fabricar también soluciones específicas a<br />

clientes “. Los nuevas fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación<br />

conmutadas no sólo consumen menos energía,<br />

sino que también usan la energía mucho más<br />

eficazmente. “ Nosotros estamos mirando un<br />

factor <strong>de</strong> eficacia <strong>de</strong> más <strong>de</strong>l 90% “, nos cuenta<br />

orgullosamente Kevin Spaun. Finalmente,<br />

Kevin Spaun nos da una luz en una estrategia<br />

muy ventajosa para exten<strong>de</strong>r la vida <strong>de</strong> servicio<br />

<strong>de</strong> las unida<strong>de</strong>s <strong>de</strong> alimentación <strong>de</strong> SPAUN.<br />

“ Nosotros generalmente diseñamos las unida<strong>de</strong>s<br />

<strong>de</strong> alimentación para nuestros productos<br />

para que ellos corran a aproximadamente a un<br />

60% capacidad “. Quedándose muy por <strong>de</strong>bajo<br />

<strong>de</strong> ese umbral reduce el riesgo <strong>de</strong> fracaso<br />

durante el uso permanente.<br />

SPAUN ha aprendido todos los trucos <strong>de</strong>l<br />

comercio en sus cuatro décadas como un fabricante<br />

<strong>de</strong> productos <strong>de</strong> calidad superior. La<br />

<strong>de</strong>cisión <strong>de</strong> también producir las fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación<br />

internamente es un paso adicional<br />

en una ca<strong>de</strong>na industrial totalmente optimista<br />

y reforzando más allá los productos <strong>de</strong> calidad<br />

superior y fiables <strong>de</strong> la compañía. Es gran<strong>de</strong><br />

ver que un enfoque estricto en la calidad lleva<br />

al éxito a largo plazo y se está agradando en<br />

ver que el enfoque <strong>de</strong>l precio que parece ser<br />

tan prevaleciente estos días no siempre es la<br />

manera al éxito dura<strong>de</strong>ro.<br />

¿Qué es una Fuente <strong>de</strong> Alimentación<br />

Conmutada?<br />

Una Fuente <strong>de</strong> Alimentación Conmutada (FAC) convierte el voltaje <strong>de</strong> CA <strong>de</strong> red<br />

(110-240V, 50/60 Hz) en el voltaje <strong>de</strong> DC requerido por todos los dispositivos electrónicos<br />

como son los aparatos <strong>de</strong> Televisión <strong>de</strong> todas clases, receptores <strong>de</strong> satélite,<br />

computadoras portátiles, el multi conmutadores etc.). El voltaje <strong>de</strong> DC queda<br />

estabilizado a la salida aunque consumamos más corriente <strong>de</strong> la FAC.<br />

Las fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación viejas (llamadas „ fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación lineales<br />

„) requieren un transformador gran<strong>de</strong> y pesado que convierte el alto voltaje <strong>de</strong>l CA<br />

en un voltaje <strong>de</strong> CA más pequeño CA así como un transistor regulador con un radiador<br />

para estabilizar el voltaje <strong>de</strong> DC. Regulando el voltaje <strong>de</strong> DC en un modo lineal<br />

lleva a las pérdidas <strong>de</strong> potencia significativas lo que genera el calor no <strong>de</strong>seado. De<br />

ahí la necesidad <strong>de</strong> un radiador.<br />

Las FAC primero convierten el voltaje <strong>de</strong> CA voltaje en voltaje <strong>de</strong> DC y entonces<br />

hay unos interruptores que van cortando la tensión con una alta frecuencia (50 kHz<br />

a a 1 MHz) lo que produce una forma <strong>de</strong> onda rectangular. Normalmente todavía se<br />

necesita un pequeño transformador pero ahora es mucho más pequeño porque es<br />

alta la frecuencia, y se necesita un transformador más pequeño para convertirla. El<br />

transistor <strong>de</strong> regulación con un gran radiador ya no se necesita porque el voltaje se<br />

regula cambiando la proporción <strong>de</strong> estados on/off.<br />

Las FAC son por consiguiente mucho más compactas y <strong>de</strong> peso ligero y también<br />

son más eficaces energéticamente. Éstas son sus ventajas principales. También<br />

son más complejas que las fuentes <strong>de</strong> alimentación lineal tradicionales. A pesar <strong>de</strong><br />

eso, se usan FAC casi exclusivamente en todos los equipos electrónicos <strong>de</strong> hoy en<br />

día.<br />

COMPANY REPORT<br />

Satellite Distributor SMART INNOVATIONS, The Netherlands<br />

The AZBox Champions<br />

from Holland<br />

It really helps to not only have a good product but to also<br />

have a very ambitious sales team. A perfect example of<br />

this is the company Smart Innovations in northeastern<br />

Holland. The three owners of the company are very<br />

much involved with its operation and have helped<br />

make the AZBox receivers one<br />

of the top selling brands not<br />

only in The Netherlands but<br />

also in Belgium and<br />

Luxemburg. For these<br />

three countries, Smart<br />

Innovations has<br />

taken over<br />

distribution<br />

of the AZBox.<br />

<br />

Zutphen<br />

(Amsterdam)<br />

At the moment, Smart Innovations still resi<strong>de</strong>s<br />

in one of the apartments in this house in the<br />

town of Zutphen in northeastern Holland. The<br />

move to a new office is coming very soon.


The three-man company currently<br />

resi<strong>de</strong>s in a resi<strong>de</strong>ntial area in the<br />

small town of Zutphen, not too far from<br />

Apeldoorn and roughly 100 km from<br />

Amsterdam. At the moment the warehouse<br />

is in the foun<strong>de</strong>r’s garage but<br />

this won’t be the case much longer. The<br />

company will shortly move to a larger<br />

building which will inclu<strong>de</strong> a warehouse.<br />

We found out how it all started from<br />

Herbert Verheij<strong>de</strong>n; he’s really the<br />

foun<strong>de</strong>r of Smart Innovations. “I started<br />

the company in 2005”, he explains to<br />

us. He’s been involved with <strong>satellite</strong><br />

reception since 1995. “My first receiver<br />

was the PACE 500 G4. Back then it was<br />

one of the first digital receivers available”,<br />

he remembers. His first <strong>satellite</strong><br />

dish was 80cm in diameter.<br />

He is a software engineer by tra<strong>de</strong><br />

and thus was especially interested in<br />

digital signal modulation technology.<br />

Via the Internet it didn’t take long for<br />

him to find people with similar interests<br />

with which he could exchange i<strong>de</strong>as.<br />

“We still use the www.sat4all.com Satellite<br />

Bulletin Board today to communicate<br />

with our customers”,<br />

explains Herbert Verheij<strong>de</strong>n.<br />

He met<br />

André Pelgrim<br />

through this <strong>satellite</strong> board and found<br />

out that he didn’t live all too far away<br />

from him and was therefore able to<br />

meet up with him in person on many<br />

occasions.<br />

Over the years the two of them<br />

worked closer and closer together. The<br />

third member of the team is Rinus Lindoorn.<br />

He’s the foun<strong>de</strong>r and chairman<br />

of the ‘De Transpon<strong>de</strong>r’ <strong>satellite</strong> club<br />

which provi<strong>de</strong>s extensive information<br />

for <strong>satellite</strong> enthusiasts via its web site<br />

www.<strong>de</strong>transpon<strong>de</strong>r.nl.<br />

In 2007 the three of them became<br />

equal partners in Smart Innovations<br />

with each owning exactly one third of<br />

the company. Their jobs are all very<br />

clearly <strong>de</strong>fined: Herbert Verheij<strong>de</strong>n is<br />

responsible for the company’s vision,<br />

Andre Pelgrim handles the technical<br />

si<strong>de</strong> of operations while Rinus Lindoorn<br />

watches over the small company’s<br />

finances. All three of them have a<br />

<strong>de</strong>dication to <strong>satellite</strong> technology<br />

and above all the AZBox.<br />

80 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

■<br />

Herbert Verheij<strong>de</strong>n explains<br />

how the connection to the<br />

AZBox came about: “We met<br />

Hugo Con<strong>de</strong>ssa, the head of<br />

AZBox, at ANGA 2005 and learned about<br />

his products. We recognized right away<br />

that his boxes were i<strong>de</strong>al for our market<br />

because of its quality and price.” The<br />

Smart Innovations team immediately<br />

began translating the receiver manuals,<br />

receiver menus and promotional materials<br />

into Dutch. “We also started our<br />

own support forum at www.azbox.nl”,<br />

adds Herbert Verheij<strong>de</strong>n.<br />

The start of the company didn’t go<br />

all too smoothly at first: “In our first<br />

year 2007 we managed to sell only 500<br />

receivers and our second year 2008<br />

wasn’t much better”, explains Rinus<br />

Lindoorn, responsible for the financial<br />

si<strong>de</strong> of things. The three agree that the<br />

main reason for this weak beginning<br />

was that AZBox only offered SD receivers<br />

at the time.<br />

In 2009 however, sales increased<br />

dramatically: “In 2009 we sold 1400<br />

high <strong>de</strong>finition receivers and in 2010<br />

we expect that number to climb to<br />

3000”, Rinus Lindoorn says confi<strong>de</strong>ntly.<br />

The increase in sales is also<br />

due to some other factors. Rinus Lindoorn<br />

regularly visit’s the <strong>de</strong>alers in<br />

Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg to<br />

highlight the advantages of the AZBox:<br />

The smart i<strong>de</strong>a from Smart Innovations: they are working on a box to convert Infrared to Bluetooth.<br />

This would make it possible to control the AZBox and a state-of-the-art TV system from a single<br />

remote control.

■<br />

Rinus Lindoorn is responsible<br />

for the financial si<strong>de</strong> of Smart<br />

Innovations.<br />

“I visit roughly 30 firms every year”,<br />

he explains.<br />

The other two colleagues don’t sit idly<br />

around either; they are actively promoting<br />

the AZBox in <strong>satellite</strong> forums<br />

as well as in their own support forum.<br />

“We quickly answer every question we<br />

receive”, comments Herbert Verheij<strong>de</strong>n<br />

adding that the customer is never<br />

alone.<br />

The three of them actually enjoy<br />

answering questions. “We are regularly<br />

surprised ourselves! For example,<br />

recently a customer told us that he has<br />

32 LNBs but could only access 30 of<br />

them.” A <strong>satellite</strong> viewer with 32 LNBs?<br />

That was new to them. Sure enough,<br />

<strong>satellite</strong> enthusiast Gerard van <strong>de</strong>n<br />

Braak in Eindhoven has two multifocus<br />

antennas with a total of 31 LNBs plus<br />

one LNB on a rotary dish.<br />

As it turned out, the AZBox had a<br />

software bug in its DiSEqC control that<br />

allowed the receiver to access 30 LNBs<br />

without any problems, just not the last<br />

2 LNBs. They would never have found<br />

out about unique problems such as this<br />

if they didn’t make themselves available<br />

to answer everyone’s questions.<br />

At the moment Smart Innovations<br />

wholesale <strong>de</strong>aler network is ma<strong>de</strong> up of<br />

25 active <strong>de</strong>alers in The Netherlands,<br />

five in Belgium and one in Luxembourg.<br />

We want to know what sales are like for<br />

the individual AZBox receiver mo<strong>de</strong>ls;<br />

Rinus Lindoorn looks at his books and<br />

says: “The AZBox Premium Plus makes<br />

up 50% of our sales, the Premium<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>l accounts for 30% while the Elite<br />

box makes up for 20%.” Those are all<br />

high <strong>de</strong>finition mo<strong>de</strong>ls.<br />

The actual tuner selection is rather<br />

interesting: “60% of AZBox receivers<br />

are <strong>de</strong>livered with <strong>satellite</strong> tuners, 30%<br />

come with combination <strong>satellite</strong> and<br />

cable tuners and the remaining 10%<br />

are strictly cable boxes.”<br />

We noticed that terrestrial tuners<br />

are not in the mix at all. Rinus Lindoorn<br />

confirms, “There’s hardly any <strong>de</strong>mand<br />

for terrestrial reception in Holland.”<br />

When the subject turned to the future,<br />

André Pelgrim finally had the opportunity<br />

to present a surprisingly new i<strong>de</strong>a:<br />

“The AZBox is the only receiver with<br />

a real 1080-line picture and therefore<br />

is the perfect match for top-of-the-line<br />

TVs.”<br />

What conclusion can be drawn from<br />

this? “One of the absolute best brand<br />

names available is, for example, Bang<br />

& Olufsen. But when you check out<br />

the remote control, you find out that it<br />

operates via Bluetooth while the AZBox<br />

works with Infrared.” The trio has thus<br />

come up with an interesting i<strong>de</strong>a: and<br />

that would be to work with a supplier<br />

of converters on a box that could convert<br />

Infrared to Bluetooth. “In this way<br />

we’re trying to make the AZBox recognizable<br />

with high-end TVs.”<br />

Smart Innovations is making quite a<br />

name for itself. All three business partners<br />

are <strong>satellite</strong> enthusiasts who are<br />

intimately familiar with the AZBox’s<br />

every <strong>de</strong>tail. They keep coming up with<br />

new i<strong>de</strong>as to make the AZBox even<br />

more popular. With such a <strong>de</strong>dicated<br />

sales team AZBox should continue to<br />

move upward in the marketplace!

Satbeams<br />

A Website for Professionals<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin has set some lofty goals for himself.<br />

He is the foun<strong>de</strong>r and operator of the satbeams.com<br />

website the main purpose of which is to reach the<br />

professionals. That’s a rather ambitious goal so we<br />

wanted to find out from him personally how he intends<br />

to reach it. We met up with him in Brussels, Belgium, the<br />

city he calls home.<br />

First we wanted to know how <strong>satellite</strong><br />

reception came into his life. He explains,<br />

“I’m originally from Moscow. I worked<br />

there as an IT manager for a big ‘Fast<br />

Moving Consumer Goods’ company. The<br />

company transferred me with my family<br />

to their European headquarters in Brussels<br />

back in 2001.”<br />

There Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin started to<br />

work as an IT consultant in the area of<br />

web infrastructure. In 2003 his <strong>de</strong>partment<br />

was outsourced to another big<br />

international company providing global<br />

IT services he continues to work as a<br />

Managed Web Service consultant.<br />

Working in another country is a big<br />

challenge and it was very important<br />

for Alexan<strong>de</strong>r to setup his first <strong>satellite</strong><br />

dish to receive Russian programs!<br />

“If we couldn’t receive Russian TV, my<br />

wife would be very upset and we would<br />

just pack and go back to Moscow”, jokes<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin. As it turns out, he<br />

has his wife to thank for getting his start<br />

■<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin, foun<strong>de</strong>r and operator of<br />

the satbeams website. In the lobby of a hotel in<br />

Brussels, Belgium, he uses his laptop to explain<br />

the functionality of satbeams.com.<br />

in <strong>satellite</strong> reception. “My first <strong>satellite</strong><br />

system consisted of an 80cm antenna<br />

that I used back then to receive SIRIUS<br />

at 4.8 east and HOTBIRD at 13 east”,<br />

he explains. Not long after that, he<br />

expan<strong>de</strong>d his system to 100cm.<br />

Meanwhile, Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin wanted<br />

to learn more about this mysterious<br />

technology. As his colleagues and friends<br />

also learned of his interest they began<br />

asking him more and more questions<br />

related to <strong>satellite</strong> reception. One thing<br />

led to another and he eventually became<br />

a <strong>satellite</strong> specialist.<br />

As Alexan<strong>de</strong>r worked most of the time<br />

with web technologies, he one day came<br />

across the i<strong>de</strong>a to combine <strong>satellite</strong> footprints<br />

with Google Maps. That was back


■<br />

An example from the satbeams.com website: the footprint of EUROBIRD 9A is projected online<br />

onto Google Maps. You can zoom into and out of the map with the footprints matching each<br />

individual map. Satbeams has created an electronic version of the footprint of every <strong>satellite</strong>.<br />

Professional users can license the data and then use the data on their own website.<br />

in 2006 and after few months of hesitation<br />

he <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to implement this i<strong>de</strong>a.<br />

“In the Fall of 2007 I contracted several<br />

talented programmers who helped me<br />

<strong>de</strong>velop the necessary software as well<br />

as electronically convert the <strong>satellite</strong><br />

footprints”, he explains. In the middle of<br />

2008 the web site went online with its<br />

first version. Initially, Alexan<strong>de</strong>r wanted<br />

to use the domain name “satcoverage”<br />

but a friend suggested that “satbeams”<br />

would be better. “That name is short,<br />

easy to remember and gets right to the<br />

point”, he says.<br />

At first Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin wanted to<br />

gear his website<br />

more<br />

■<br />

<br />

Brussels<br />

towards <strong>satellite</strong> DXers, in other words<br />

towards hobbyists. He implemented the<br />

solution that <strong>satellite</strong> DXers could click<br />

on their location via Google Maps and<br />

then enter in realistic reception results.<br />

But he wasn’t satisfied with the results<br />

and <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to re<strong>de</strong>sign the website. In<br />

July 2009 the new version of Satbeams<br />

went live.<br />

Now almost every <strong>satellite</strong> footprint<br />

from around the world was digitized and<br />

could be projected onto Google Maps.<br />

“Dozens of volunteers help me keep<br />

all of the <strong>satellite</strong> data up-to-date”, he<br />

says. So in addition to <strong>satellite</strong> technical<br />

<strong>de</strong>tails and footprints all of the associated<br />

transpon<strong>de</strong>r data is also displayed.<br />

Now he’s in the process of<br />

making his website more<br />

user-friendly. “I am focused<br />

on ‘usability’ to improve<br />

the user experience”, he<br />

explains, “you can search<br />

by channel name or your<br />

address and filter the<br />

104 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

charts by any field like ‘language’ or<br />

‘band’. All of the data is linked together<br />

and you can reach almost any information<br />

with just 2-3 clicks of the mouse.”<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r is constantly thinking about<br />

how he can make his website even more<br />

user-friendly. “But above all I want to<br />

reach out to professionals and implement<br />

additional features that would be<br />

useful for them. For example <strong>satellite</strong><br />

provi<strong>de</strong>rs would be interested to know if<br />

their footprint overlaps with footprints of<br />

other <strong>satellite</strong>s.” So Alexan<strong>de</strong>r is thinking<br />

of the best way to overlay multiple<br />

footprints on the worlds map which would<br />

make it easy to see what <strong>satellite</strong>s cover<br />

the same area.<br />

He sees the future of Satbeams with<br />

specialised applications. “Interested<br />

companies could license the footprint<br />

data from me”, says Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin,<br />

“with the monthly licensing fee the footprint<br />

updates are locked in.”<br />

What kind of companies could use his<br />

services? “First and foremost would be<br />

Internet-via-Satellite provi<strong>de</strong>rs”, comments<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin, “Satbeam’s<br />

first customers came from this sector.<br />

The footprint data would also be interesting<br />

for uplink stations, for <strong>satellite</strong> provi<strong>de</strong>rs<br />

and also for SNG operators who<br />

need to find the proper footprint for their<br />

VSAT systems.”<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin discovered an<br />

interesting market segment with Satbeams.<br />

A website geared specifically<br />

towards the <strong>satellite</strong> professionals seems<br />

to be a very good i<strong>de</strong>a!<br />

This is what the home of Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Derjugin looks like. A Channelmaster 120cm antenna with a C-band and Ku-band LNB can be seen all the way to<br />

the left. This antenna is motorized and can be moved from 57 east to 45 west. A T90 multi<strong>satellite</strong> antenna is in the center and sports eight LNBs for<br />

reception of <strong>satellite</strong>s from 4.8 east to 53 east and all the way to the right is a 125cm antenna for 40 east reception.


DXer REPORT<br />

Satellite DXer Pepsi from Chengdu, China<br />

Pepsi’s<br />

Dishes


■<br />

Satellite DXers are a rather new species in China. One<br />

of the select few is Pepsi in the city of Mengyang of<br />

Sichuan province in south-western China. Why would<br />

anybody choose the nickname Pepsi, you may ask? Well,<br />

that’s not difficult to guess: Pepsi used to work for the<br />

company by the same name.<br />

Where does the DXer live? Easy to guess, it’s<br />

the building on which antennas can even be<br />

seen from the street below. Pepsi’s apartment is<br />

in this mixed resi<strong>de</strong>ntial and business<br />

block, because here he can freely<br />

install antennas on the roof.<br />

<br />

DXers<br />

World<br />

He has since moved on and now<br />

holds a technician’s positions at a local<br />

packaging company, even though he<br />

still sticks to his nickname. We meet<br />

Pepsi for lunch at a typical restaurant<br />

in his hometown and he tells us how it<br />

all began: “I started out in 2004 with a<br />

1.5 m dish which I used to pick up signals<br />

from ASIASAT 3 at 105.5° East.”<br />

It was technology rather than content<br />

that got him hooked on this hobby. “I<br />

hardly ever watch TV,” Pepsi admits,<br />

“it’s rather the challenge of trying to<br />

receive even more <strong>satellite</strong>s that keeps<br />

me going.” This enthusiasm led to an<br />

increasing number of <strong>satellite</strong> dishes<br />

over the years. Next to several small<br />

dishes with diameters ranging from 45<br />

to 90 cm Pepsi also uses 1.8 and 2.4 m<br />

antennas.<br />

With great expectations and anticipation<br />

we take the trip to Pepsi’s place in<br />

a resi<strong>de</strong>ntial area of the city of Mengyang,<br />

some 40 km north of the capital<br />

of Sichuan province. Pepsi’s apartment<br />

is located on the second floor of the<br />

building and it becomes evi<strong>de</strong>nt right<br />

upon entering that watching TV is not<br />

exactly Pepsi’s favourite pastime. Only<br />

one TV set can be seen in the living<br />

room, but a total of six receivers. Pepsi<br />

loves the technical aspects of <strong>satellite</strong><br />

television, yet could hardly care less<br />

about what kind of content is transmitted.<br />

All of his antennas are mounted on<br />

the roof of the building’s staircase.<br />

“Here they don’t get in the way of anybody,<br />

and nobody gets in my way,”<br />

Pepsi explains. As a matter of fact, he<br />

purposely moved into this area so that<br />

he would be able to pursuit his hobby<br />

without restrictions. “Where I used to<br />

live before it was not possible to install<br />

large antennas,” says Pepsi. “It was my<br />

hobby that ma<strong>de</strong> me move to Mengyang.”<br />

Talk about commitment!<br />

Pepsi even spends his spare time<br />

helping other people install their <strong>satellite</strong><br />

dishes and he has become a<br />

well-established <strong>satellite</strong> expert even<br />

beyond his city.<br />

Eventually, his hobby might turn into<br />

his profession one day. “I am currently<br />

working on larger projects too, which<br />

involve supplying several apartments<br />

to make money out of his hobby, for which we wish him<br />

good luck.<br />

MUSEUM REPORT<br />

■<br />

Radiomuseum Ringsted, Denmark<br />

A Satellite Expert’s<br />

Museum<br />

Alexan<strong>de</strong>r Wiese<br />

Over the course of many years <strong>satellite</strong> expert Bjarne Nielsen<br />

has worked up his reputation as Denmark’s ‘Mr. Satellite’. In<br />

retirement now, he has found a new passion in his position<br />

as organiser of and driving force behind the ‘Radiomuseum’<br />

in the small town of Ringsted, not far from the Danish capital<br />

Copenhagen. In a <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> exclusive Bjarne Nielsen opens<br />

the museum doors and recalls major events that shaped his life.<br />

Let’s start with a remarkable fact: For 15<br />

years Bjarne Nielsen was the publisher and<br />

editor-in-chief of Denmark’s first and only<br />

<strong>satellite</strong>-related magazine, with the last<br />

issue having appeared in the year 2005.<br />

“I published a total of 165 issues,” Bjarne<br />

Nielsen recalls. “Each magazine issue featured<br />

a test report and a company report,<br />

as well as an up-to-date frequency chart.”<br />

A peak circulation of 4000 was printed in<br />

2000 in the heyday of Bjarne’s magazine,<br />

but towards 2005 this number had <strong>de</strong>clined<br />

to 1400 copies. At the same time the Danish<br />

postal service <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to increase postage<br />

fees with the result that the whole magazine<br />

operation had become uneconomical.<br />

What ma<strong>de</strong> Bjarne Nielsen create and publish<br />

a <strong>satellite</strong> magazine in the first place?<br />

In 1966 he had began to work as a teacher<br />

at the Ringsted technical vocational school,<br />

covering the fields of TV and radio engineering<br />

– well... what else? One of his stu<strong>de</strong>nts<br />

ma<strong>de</strong> a career as service manager for Swedish<br />

company LUXOR in Motala, which in 1980<br />

was in the process of <strong>de</strong>veloping its first <strong>satellite</strong><br />

receiver. At the time, <strong>satellite</strong> receivers<br />

usually came from the United States.<br />

Bjarne Nielsen managed to obtain <strong>satellite</strong><br />

reception equipment from LUXOR and<br />

“in 1982 I was able for the very first time to<br />

watch <strong>satellite</strong> television thanks to a 2-metre<br />

dish,” he remembers. “I picked up Russian<br />

Three museums in a row in the Danish town of Ringsted:<br />

the Radiomuseum (centre), the mill museum (behind) and<br />

Ringsted local museum (right). Bjarne Nielsen runs the<br />

Radiomuseum.<br />

110 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

<br />

Ringsted<br />

(Copenhagen)<br />

TV from GORIZONT, transmitted in the 4<br />

GHz range.”<br />

Half a year later LUXOR invited him to its<br />

Motala headquarters and it was there that<br />

Bjarne Nielsen was able to see signals from<br />

OTS, the first European broadcasting <strong>satellite</strong>,<br />

with the help of a huge 3-metre antenna.<br />

All his efforts were focused on setting up<br />

a dish of his own and by the end of 1983 a<br />

1.8-metre antenna had become an addition<br />

to his house to receivee CS1 at 13° east.<br />

In case you’re still in doubt, we’re <strong>de</strong>aling<br />

with a serious case of <strong>satellite</strong> virus infection<br />

here, and in his role as a vocational teacher

Bjarne Nielsen took his chances and raised<br />

his stu<strong>de</strong>nts‘ interest for this new technology<br />

as well.<br />

However, it didn’t stop there. Danish companies<br />

<strong>de</strong>aling with <strong>satellite</strong> products were<br />

quick to see the potential of this <strong>de</strong>dicated<br />

teacher and asked him to organise technical<br />

seminars for engineers and installers. “In<br />

1984 and 1985 I held lots of 3-day seminars<br />

to teach more than 1000 professional installers<br />

how to set up <strong>satellite</strong> antennas,” Bjarne<br />

Nielsen proudly states. His school supported<br />

these activities as well, as they were counted<br />

as part of the teaching process. This eventually<br />

led to the establishment of a <strong>satellite</strong><br />

magazine in 1990. “My school was the official<br />

publisher and I was ‘only’ the editor,” he<br />

recalls laughingly because nonetheless, all of<br />

his free time was put into the magazine.<br />

“We even went so far as to stage our own<br />

<strong>satellite</strong> fair at the school,” he adds. “It took<br />

place in 1990 and we were proud to showcase<br />

virtually all Danish <strong>satellite</strong> companies.”<br />

The fair was repeated one more time, but as<br />

it was only successful from a technical point<br />

of view rather than from a financial aspect,<br />

it unfortunately had to be stopped after only<br />

two events.<br />

Let’s move on to an altogether different<br />

stage now and find out what in the world<br />

ma<strong>de</strong> Bjarne Nielsen run his own museum?<br />

“By my very nature as a teacher I was in<br />

touch with hundreds of young people, all of<br />

whom knew that I collected old TV and radio<br />

sets. Time and again they would come to<br />

school with a disused <strong>de</strong>vice, and I was all<br />

the more happy for it.” In all those years he<br />

never had to actually buy a radio or TV, each<br />

single one was donated.<br />

In 1998 Bjarne Nielsen came up with the<br />

i<strong>de</strong>a of displaying all those marvellous won<strong>de</strong>rs<br />

of technology in a <strong>de</strong>dicated museum,<br />

and in 2000 he was able to make that dream<br />

a reality. The Radiomuseum Ringsted was<br />

ready to open its doors! The building hosting<br />

the museum was ma<strong>de</strong> available by the<br />

municipality of Ringsted and lots of locals<br />

offered a helping hand to adapt the place for<br />

its new use as a museum.<br />

1. Celebrating 110 years: An EDISON<br />

phonograph dating back to the year 1900 is one<br />

of the collection’s highlights. This system uses<br />

a wax cylin<strong>de</strong>r to record sound.<br />

2. As early as 1936 company AEG invented a<br />

tape recor<strong>de</strong>r. The Radiomuseum features a unit<br />

that was manufactured in 1938.<br />

3. The BEOCORD from the year 1948 used<br />

steel wire rather than magnetic tape to record<br />

voices. “2.2 km of steel wire are wound up on<br />

a single roll. The wire is led through the <strong>de</strong>vice<br />

with a speed of 50 cm per second, which means<br />

2.2 km of wire provi<strong>de</strong> a recording time of one<br />

hour,” Bjarne Nielsen explains. “By the way,<br />

Danish inventor Val<strong>de</strong>mar Poulson had this<br />

system patented in 1898. At the time, however,<br />

the available technology was not ready for<br />

real-world implementation. For this you need<br />

amplifying which became available only with<br />

the invention of tubes.”


■<br />

With a microphone from 1942<br />

(the year of birth of Bjarne) it<br />

feels like time travel. That’s the<br />

way the pop stars of the time<br />

sang their songs on stage.<br />

“Some 500 items are on display here,”<br />

Bjarne Nielsen explains and directs our<br />

attention to a breathtaking range of TV and<br />

radio sets. But the real surprise is yet to<br />

come: “What you can see here is just 10% of<br />

what I have collected – a total of 5000 items<br />

are stored in a repository.” Now this is quite<br />

a revelation – where could Bjarne Nielsen<br />

possibly store so many items?<br />

We’re wasting our breath here: “In my old<br />

school, from which I retired five years ago.<br />

Much of the basement there is used up by my<br />

TVs and radios,” he says and smiles. In<strong>de</strong>ed,<br />

Bjarne Nielsen has collected an almost unbelievable<br />

range of different apparatus, and<br />

what makes his collection even more unique<br />

is the unexpected number of products ma<strong>de</strong><br />

by Danish companies. These days only few<br />

people are aware that Denmark used to<br />

boast a significant TV and radio industry in<br />

the past, because today hardly any of these<br />

companies are still in business.<br />

Enthusiasm and commitment don’t diminish<br />

with age, and Bjarne Nielsen is perfect<br />

proof of that. He has even started to publish<br />

a new magazine, only that this time it<br />

<strong>de</strong>als with historic TV and radio sets. Some<br />

may think of anybody with such a passion<br />

for old technology as an idiot, and Bjarne<br />

Nielsen happily picked up this notion for the<br />

title of his magazine. While he could not quite<br />

get himself to call it radio idiots, he went for<br />

Radioten instead. A community of ‘radiots’<br />

is in the making and Bjarne Nielsen gets<br />

together with like-min<strong>de</strong>d enthusiasts on a<br />

regular basis to restore old <strong>de</strong>vices. With a<br />

well of personal knowledge and expertise<br />

available with his co-collectors and with the<br />

help of measurement <strong>de</strong>vices from all times,<br />

the results of such restorations are nothing<br />

short of impressive.<br />

One of the unique aspects of the Radiomuseum<br />

is its technical capability to copy<br />

1. This portable radio is impressive proof<br />

of the state of technology 75 years ago. It<br />

was produced in 1935 and had to do without<br />

transistors and microchips of any kind.<br />

2. Danish company RUHE produced this TV<br />

set (right) in the year 1950. In 1949 first test<br />

broadcasts were transmitted from Copenhagen<br />

and these sets were ma<strong>de</strong> specifically for<br />

receiving these signals. “The official launch<br />

of TV in Denmark took place in 1951,” Bjarne<br />

Nielsen tells us. And what has seemingly fallen<br />

out of the TV to the left? “That’s the remote<br />

control,” he replies. What today is a standard<br />

feature for home entertainment <strong>de</strong>vices was<br />

a genuine sensation at the time. “Of course a<br />

remote control in the 1950s was not wireless<br />

but rather attached to the main set with a long<br />

cable, yet even an early mo<strong>de</strong>l such as that<br />

came with two buttons.” One might won<strong>de</strong>r<br />

what the remote control was used for back then.<br />

Surely it was for switching channels, right?<br />

“Are you kidding?” Bjarne answers. “There was<br />

only one channel available in the first years<br />

of television. One button was for adjusting<br />

volume, the other for brightness.” In a time<br />

and age with virtually thousands of <strong>satellite</strong><br />

channels at your fingertips isn‘t it hard to<br />

imagine a time when you had no choice at all?

old vi<strong>de</strong>o and audio tapes and save them<br />

on present-day storage media. “We have at<br />

hand vi<strong>de</strong>o recor<strong>de</strong>rs for all systems that<br />

have ever been on the market, and naturally<br />

we keep theses systems operational<br />

at all times.” Even ancient steel tapes can<br />

be played back – which comes as a genuine<br />

surprise. “Steel tape was the pre<strong>de</strong>cessor of<br />

magnetic tape and was used in the 1940s<br />

and 1950s.”<br />

Time and again audio and vi<strong>de</strong>o tapes<br />

from <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s ago pop up and the Radiomuseum<br />

is the place to go for playing back or<br />

copying their often valuable content. “This<br />

can be particularly interesting if the tapes<br />

inclu<strong>de</strong> recordings of company assemblies,<br />

for instance, and in some cases such historic<br />

content may even have legal ramifications.”<br />

In cases like this the Radiomuseum even<br />

bridges an existing market gap, as there<br />

are hardly any official institutions that keep<br />

age-old technology up and running the way<br />

Bjarne Nielsen does.<br />

In a time and age in which mo<strong>de</strong>rn <strong>satellite</strong><br />

receivers are discar<strong>de</strong>d after only a few years<br />

of use only to be replaced with yet another<br />

new <strong>de</strong>vice, a visit to the Radiomuseum<br />

in Ringsted is a step back in time. Mo<strong>de</strong>rn<br />

technology is put in perspective when you<br />

wan<strong>de</strong>r past a sheer endless number of old<br />

<strong>de</strong>vices, some of which still working after<br />

100 years – if maintained and serviced properly.<br />

Bjarne Nielsen and his helpers <strong>de</strong>finitely<br />

know how to do just that. His Radiomuseum<br />

basement to keep all types of vi<strong>de</strong>o<br />

WORLDSPACE COULD RELAUNCH<br />

WorldSpace plans to relaunch its services in South<br />

Africa if a bid by former chairman Noah Samara to<br />

buy the company is approved, according to local<br />

daily “Business Day”. WorldSpace, whose <strong>satellite</strong><br />

radio service was available in Europe, Africa<br />

and Asia, filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008<br />

after repeated failures to meet <strong>de</strong>bt obligations.

SAMSUNG DSR 9000 FTA<br />

In the search for a digital FTA receiver that is<br />

loa<strong>de</strong>d with features but is easy to use, the<br />

<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> <strong>International</strong> test group stumbled<br />

onto the SAMSUNG DSR9000 FTA. One of the<br />

requirements of this search was the automatic<br />

downloading of software updates via <strong>satellite</strong>.<br />

Receiver software is constantly being improved<br />

or updated and not every digital receiver<br />

owner has the ability to use a PC to upgra<strong>de</strong><br />

the receiver’s software via the serial interface.<br />

Samsung’s receivers are distributed worldwi<strong>de</strong><br />

and thus software upgra<strong>de</strong>s are ma<strong>de</strong> available<br />

through various <strong>satellite</strong>s around the world.<br />

In central Europe, the ASTRA<br />

<strong>satellite</strong> at 19.2° East can<br />

be used for this service.<br />

The silver colored chassis<br />

and the overall <strong>de</strong>sign of this<br />

receiver gives the impression<br />

that this is an expensive box.<br />

The four-digit display shows<br />

one of the 2000 possible<br />

channels and it can easily be<br />

seen even in bright sunlight.<br />

A round ring-button lets you<br />

change channels and adjust<br />

the volume without having<br />

to use the remote control.<br />

The backsi<strong>de</strong> of the box is<br />

also nicely laid out. The IF<br />

signal is looped-through<br />

allowing an additional<br />

receiver (analog) to be connected.<br />

Two Scart connectors<br />

let you connect the box to a TV and a VCR.<br />

Audio and vi<strong>de</strong>o outputs are also available via<br />

three RCA jacks. These could be used to connect<br />

additional equipment such as a TV projector.<br />

The serial interface can be used to upload new<br />

software into the receiver if for some reason<br />

it were not possible to do this via <strong>satellite</strong>.<br />

Terrestrial antenna signals are also looped-through<br />

and the onboard modulator (PAL B/G, I, K in our<br />

test mo<strong>de</strong>l) operates in the entire UHF range.<br />

The remote control sits comfortably in your hand<br />

with all functions clearly marked thus reducing<br />

the likelihood of pressing the wrong button.<br />

The first thing the receiver will do after it has<br />

been properly set up and configured for the<br />

existing antenna will be to look for new software.<br />

If a new update is available, it will just take<br />

a few minutes to complete the download.<br />

The actual installation of the receiver is extremely<br />

simple. It must be pointed out that - asi<strong>de</strong> from<br />

the easy-to-un<strong>de</strong>rstand menus - this receiver also<br />

has excellent graphics in its On-Screen display.<br />

As a worldwi<strong>de</strong> receiver, the DSR9000 FTA offers<br />

six different languages for its menus, EPG and<br />

soundtrack. If you happen to be using a Solarsat<br />

antenna (test report in <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />

10-11/2000), you will<br />

find a special calculation<br />

program in the menu.<br />

After the antenna and LNB<br />

parameters are stored, the<br />

active <strong>satellite</strong>s can simply<br />

be selected. The integrated<br />

DiSEqC 1.2 allows the<br />

use of more than one LNB<br />

or can be used to drive<br />

an appropriate motor.<br />

<strong>de</strong>sired <strong>satellite</strong>s (up to 16) in one shot. Only<br />

about seven minutes was nee<strong>de</strong>d for the Scan<br />

function to handle 80 transpon<strong>de</strong>rs. If necessary<br />

the PID’s for vi<strong>de</strong>o, audio and PCR can<br />

be manually entered. It’s even possible to<br />

connect the receiver to a SMATV system.<br />

Once programmed, specific channels can be stored<br />

in three different priority lists. Consi<strong>de</strong>ring that this<br />

is a digital receiver, switching between channels is<br />

actually quite fast, on average about 1/2 second.<br />

Unfortunately, this still does not make for<br />

very good “Zapping”, but even if you were<br />

to try, you wouldn’t have to worry about<br />

any unexpected system hang-ups.<br />

In our tests, critical C-Band signals (1.9 Ms/<br />

sec) were easily handled without any loss of<br />

signal even though, according to the manufacturer,<br />

the box can handle 2-45 Ms/sec.<br />

The Electronic Program Gui<strong>de</strong> (EPG) is very nicely<br />

laid out. Here you can display current and future<br />

programming information. When switching between<br />

channels, a small transparent program information<br />

bar appears near the bottom of the screen<br />

providing channel name and current program data.<br />

A simple push of a button selects the proper<br />

soundtrack. The DSR9000 FTA is also Teletext<br />

compatible. Switching over to radio mo<strong>de</strong> can<br />

138 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

easily be done with the remote control. Program<br />

information will then appear on the screen and<br />

will also inclu<strong>de</strong> an attractive background.<br />

The EPG can also be accessed in this<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>. Unfortunately, the DSR9000 FTA<br />

does not have a digital audio output.<br />

While we were conducting our tests, new software<br />

version 105 became available and was<br />

uploa<strong>de</strong>d into the box via <strong>satellite</strong>. Several bugs<br />

that were in version 100 were fixed and there were<br />

also obvious improvements with Skyplex signal<br />

reception. With the DSR9000 FTA, Samsung has<br />

<strong>de</strong>veloped a truly user-friendly and easy-to-use<br />

receiver that is an excellent choice for anyone<br />

not interested in receiving Pay TV signals. Clean<br />

graphics and menus that are self-explanatory<br />

leave behind a lasting favorable impression.<br />

Once the box was upgra<strong>de</strong>d to version 105,<br />

there were no more lock-ups. Switching channels<br />

was better than average and the automatic<br />

scan function works quite fast.<br />

The receiver comes with a comprehensive<br />

user manual. If it were up to us, we would<br />

have liked to see a digital audio output and<br />

perhaps even a third Scart connector.<br />

The good local service provi<strong>de</strong>d by the regional<br />

importer is also a “plus” worth mentioning.


MediaCom FTA-Gold<br />

In our unceasing hunt for an easy-to-use free-toair<br />

(FTA) receiver with sufficient channel memory,<br />

C- and Ku-band compatibility, single and multi<br />

channel per carrier (SCPC/MCPC) capability and<br />

the ability to control a mechanical C/Ku polarizer,<br />

we came across the MediaCom FTA Gold.<br />

Free-to-air means that we need not waste any<br />

time looking for some CI module slots to allow<br />

the reception of PAY-TV. The dark and stylish<br />

front panel inclu<strong>de</strong>s a light green display showing<br />

the selected channel number. The FTA Gold<br />

has more than sufficient storage capacity with a<br />

3000 channel memory for TV and an additional<br />

2000 channel memory for digital <strong>satellite</strong> radio.<br />

Six unpretentious keys allow operating the<br />

receiver without the remote. On the back panel<br />

the first feature that catches the attention are<br />

the quick-clamps for connecting a mechanical<br />

polarizer. This is very important for combined<br />

C and Ku-band reception. The receiver also<br />

allows for the standard configuration with 13/17<br />

Volt switching of the polarization angles<br />

The IF from the antenna can be looped through and<br />

thus ma<strong>de</strong> available to an additional receiver. Unfortunately<br />

the “two-scart” solution seems to have<br />

won over most manufacturers of digital <strong>satellite</strong><br />

receivers, including MediaCom for the FTA Gold.<br />

Analog stereo is output from two RCA connections<br />

and an additional connection <strong>de</strong>livers the<br />

vi<strong>de</strong>o signal. A programmable 0/12 Volt output is<br />

available for external switches. The serial interface<br />

is <strong>de</strong>signed to permit upgrading the operating<br />

software, but it could just as well be used to copy<br />

the SatcoDX channel information into the box.<br />

Unfortunately the receiver we tested was<br />

not yet SatcoDX compatible. A terrestrial TV<br />

signal is looped through and an UHF modulator<br />

can be tuned over the complete UHF range.<br />

All PAL mo<strong>de</strong>s and NTSC are supported.<br />

The remote control <strong>de</strong>serves special praise.<br />

The buttons are clearly labelled and the layout is<br />

very logical. With a touch of a button the screen<br />

image can be frozen which is a useful feature.<br />

First of all the language of the on-screen display<br />

(OSD) menu can be selected from five<br />

available languages, including Arabic. The<br />

OSD can be changed into transparent mo<strong>de</strong><br />

in five steps and the time-outs for the graphics<br />

can be individually set. The brightness of<br />

the vi<strong>de</strong>o is also adjustable in five steps.<br />

The FTA Gold is pre-set for almost all <strong>satellite</strong>s<br />

around the world. All that is left to do is set up the<br />

local oscillator frequencies (LOF) for one or several<br />

LNBs. Ten sets of values are already stored in the<br />

software but of course the parameters can also be<br />

freely selected. The various LNBs and the corresponding<br />

dish motor are controlled with DiSEqC 1.2.<br />

The search function can be performed either in<br />

‘normal’ mo<strong>de</strong> (to find all signals) or in ‘FTA’ mo<strong>de</strong>,<br />

where only clear or unencrypted signals will be<br />

found. After the initial scan, any time later you can<br />

use the ‘update’ function to scan all transpon<strong>de</strong>rs<br />

for new signals without overwriting pre-existing<br />

and unchanged channels. The receiver takes eight<br />

minutes to search an 80-transpon<strong>de</strong>r <strong>satellite</strong>.<br />

The graphic <strong>de</strong>sign of the search menu is particularly<br />

good. Individual transpon<strong>de</strong>rs can be searched<br />

for channels using the manual search mo<strong>de</strong>. It is<br />

also possible to key in the PID parameters manually.<br />

After a complete scan there are usually some channels<br />

to be <strong>de</strong>leted, moved or ad<strong>de</strong>d to the favourite<br />

list. It is also possible to ‘lock’ certain channels.<br />

The editing menu displays the channel being<br />

edited in a small window on the screen and lists<br />

all technical specifications at the same time. All<br />

these features are very easy to use. In addition,<br />

there is an on-screen keyboard which can<br />

be used to name and rename the channels. Of<br />

course the same facility is available for all radio<br />

stations that have been found in the search.<br />

Once the receiver is set up and programmed,<br />

switching between channels takes 1.2 seconds,<br />

which is not very fast. It has to be mentioned in that<br />

context, however, that some <strong>de</strong>lays are caused<br />

by the broadcaster having changed the packet<br />

information data (PID). This means that the receiver<br />

has to <strong>de</strong>tect the correct parameters first from the<br />

data stream. When changing channels the most<br />

significant data about the channel (if provi<strong>de</strong>d) and<br />

the time are on shown screen for a few seconds.<br />

The FEC, polarization and PID data are also shown.<br />

Certain channels can be ad<strong>de</strong>d to the favourites<br />

list and can then be accessed quickly<br />

by pressing a corresponding button on the<br />

remote. There is a sleep mo<strong>de</strong>, which can set<br />

to shut down the receiver after a period of time<br />

for all those day or night couch potatoes.<br />

The MediaCom FTA Gold <strong>de</strong>serves our Global<br />

Approval without any qualifications. Features<br />

like mechanical polarizer control, SCPC compatibility,<br />

global <strong>satellite</strong> memory and C/Ku-band<br />

reception make it a really universal box.<br />

At the same time it is easy to use and has a very<br />

well <strong>de</strong>signed on-screen menu plus online help.<br />

It is an i<strong>de</strong>al FTA receiver for the whole family<br />

because everybody will be able to use it. The<br />

handbook explains all steps of the installation<br />

and operation in an easy-to-un<strong>de</strong>rstand way.<br />

During the exten<strong>de</strong>d testing there were no system<br />

crashes. Unfortunately this is still not always<br />

the case when talking about digital receivers.<br />

AMT Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI<br />

The situation with channel scanning in the<br />

<strong>satellite</strong> TV world is not entirely unknown: you<br />

have the frequency, but all the other data is<br />

missing. The FEC and Symbolrate values are<br />

not always available in the charts, especially<br />

when it involves a brand new feed-signal.<br />

Even the best <strong>satellite</strong> receiver doesn’t provi<strong>de</strong><br />

much help here. The only solution would<br />

seem to be a receivers Band-Scan function.<br />

Unfortunately, this isn’t all that much fun, since<br />

this type of scan could take the entire night and<br />

by then that feed has already disappeared.<br />

But with the new Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from AMT,<br />

search technology has taken a giant step forward.<br />

In a special menu, all you need to do is enter the<br />

frequency of the signal - nothing else is nee<strong>de</strong>d.<br />

After only a few minutes all possible symbolrates<br />

have been scanned and even the FEC values<br />

are un<strong>de</strong>r control. The result is a new, unlisted<br />

channel. This is an important feature that<br />

<strong>de</strong>served to be highlighted right from the start.<br />

This receiver is <strong>de</strong>signed to be used as an<br />

FTA/CI unit. With the right CI module and<br />

appropriate card, this box can be used for<br />

Pay TV reception. Otherwise, it will work just<br />

fine as an FTA receiver. One drawback: only<br />

a meager 1000 channels are available.<br />

Since this box is DiSEqC compatible, multiple<br />

LNB’s or antennas can be connected. It won’t<br />

be long before you run out of memory space.<br />

The nicely shaped, silver-colored cabinet<br />

has two flaps on the front panel that hi<strong>de</strong> the<br />

CI slots and the auxiliary control buttons.<br />

These buttons can be used to program the<br />

box if the remote control <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>s it doesn’t<br />

want to play anymore. The green four-digit<br />

display shows the current channel.<br />

The backsi<strong>de</strong> of the unit is fitted with<br />

all the usual standard equipment.<br />

The IF is looped-through and two Scart connectors<br />

together with three RCA jacks link the<br />

receiver to external audio/vi<strong>de</strong>o equipment.<br />

A fourth RCA jack provi<strong>de</strong>s the controlled<br />

0/12 volt output.<br />

The modulator operates in all the different PAL formats<br />

across the entire UHF range. In NTSC mo<strong>de</strong>,<br />

the modulator switches over to channel 3 or 4.<br />

The serial interface allows new software and<br />

updated program data (SatcoDX compatibility<br />

coming soon) to be uploa<strong>de</strong>d.<br />

When the box is first placed into service, you will be<br />

prompted to select a language to be used for the<br />

On-Screen display (OSD) and the audio sub-carrier.<br />

From English to German, Farsi, Arabic and even<br />

Russian, most of the important languages are available.<br />

An extra special feature is the integrated PAL/<br />

NTSC converter. Depending on the TV being used,<br />

PAL, NTSC or AUTO can be selected. The colors<br />

of the OSD can be set for two individual users.<br />

The European version of this receiver is pre-programmed<br />

with 13 <strong>satellite</strong>s with room for 10 more.<br />

The LNB’s are matched with the proper local<br />

oscillator frequencies (LOF’s). The receiver’s<br />

menu has the universal and standard values<br />

already pre-programmed into the box. Other<br />

LOF values can be manually entered.<br />

The subsequent scan of an 80-transpon<strong>de</strong>r system<br />

lasted only seven minutes. The scan can be set<br />

up to search for “FTA-only” or “All” channels. Individual<br />

transpon<strong>de</strong>rs can likewise be activated. If it<br />

becomes necessary to enter in PID data manually,<br />

a corresponding menu is available. At this point the<br />

enormously helpful automatic symbolrate search<br />

function is certainly worth mentioning again. The<br />

Sat Cruiser accepts symbolrates anywhere between<br />

2 and 45 Ms/sec and was even able to work with<br />

a 1.8 Ms/sec signal (SCPC) with no difficulty.<br />

The DSR-301CI is packed with a very powerful<br />

editing function. Programs can be quickly and<br />

easily moved, <strong>de</strong>leted or even temporarily blocked.<br />

Priority channels can be quickly stored in a special<br />

list. An integrated “typewriter” lets you add names<br />

to stored channels and <strong>satellite</strong>s. With a 0.7 second<br />

channel switching time, this receiver is one of the<br />

faster ones. Holding down the channel selection<br />

button does not seem to bother the Sat Cruiser as<br />

it does not seek revenge by locking-up on you.<br />

To prevent the DSR-301CI from being improperly<br />

used by the younger generation, the box can be set<br />

140 <strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong> — Global Digital TV <strong>Magazine</strong> — 10-11/2010 — www.<strong>TELE</strong>-<strong>satellite</strong>.com<br />

up to block specific programs from a particular age<br />

group. In our test, a 12 year old managed to find his<br />

way to an inappropriate channel in just four minutes.<br />

The Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from ATM is a solid,<br />

easy-to-use family receiver able to receive free<br />

(FTA) and Pay TV (all known CI systems) signals.<br />

But this box even has something to offer to more<br />

knowledgeable users with its manual PID entry<br />

and its symbolrate automation. It is a little weak<br />

at the knees with its 1000 channels; a little more<br />

would have been better. The user-manual serves<br />

as an excellent gui<strong>de</strong> during the installation and<br />

using it on a daily basis is nothing more than<br />

child’s play. Thanks to the regional pre-programming,<br />

the NTSC/PAL selection, the language<br />

choices and the universal power supply, the<br />

DSR-301CI is truly useable worldwi<strong>de</strong>.


ATTISAT Satellite Systems<br />

In 1997 <strong>satellite</strong> communication specialists and<br />

investors met in Athens. One si<strong>de</strong> brought with<br />

them a concept and the other brought the necessary<br />

solutions to make the project a reality.<br />

The goal was the <strong>de</strong>sign, the production and the<br />

distribution of a flat antenna. At first this doesn’t<br />

sound like anything special since similar antennas<br />

already exist on the market. What appeals<br />

to the investors is the plan to create a product<br />

in<strong>de</strong>pendant of subcontractors. Likewise with<br />

manufacturing technology, they also wanted to go<br />

there own way. Almost every production machine<br />

and test station should be their own <strong>de</strong>sign.<br />

This is a further step towards in<strong>de</strong>pendance.<br />

With the product came the thought that the antenna<br />

should not be re-invented, instead it should stand<br />

out from the rest of the field through first class<br />

quality and <strong>de</strong>sign flexibility induced by customer<br />

suggestions. The flat antennas that are currently<br />

available have problems with both their life-expectancy<br />

- they are not always weather-proof - and<br />

with uniform gain across the entire Ku-Band.<br />

Specialists and Investors joined forces and the<br />

result was the formation of the internationally<br />

reknowned company ATTISAT Satellite Systems.<br />

They are strategically located between the city<br />

center and the airport in Athens where the Flat<br />

antenna is produced. Over three years have<br />

passed since this company was formed. Their<br />

antenna has gained recognition in the market<br />

and the plan is to ramp up production to about<br />

200,000 per year. The investors, who have thus far<br />

contributed nearly 1,000,000 Euros to this effort,<br />

have not regretted their <strong>de</strong>cision. In a mo<strong>de</strong>rn<br />

building, the FL 500 is manually assembled<br />

using a cleverly <strong>de</strong>signed system. Through the<br />

use of special markings on each piece, mistakes<br />

have been virtually eliminated. At the end of the<br />

production line, every antenna must un<strong>de</strong>rgo a<br />

thorough test. Various <strong>satellite</strong>s from around the<br />

world can be simulated with signal generators.<br />

If an antenna does not perform as expected,<br />

it is removed, dismantled and analysed<br />

to <strong>de</strong>termine “why” so that the same fault<br />

does not occur again in the future.<br />

Team spirit among the employees is a major reason<br />

why they can ship a quality product. None of them<br />

have an 8 to 5 job, instead, the hours they work<br />

are based on the daily requirments. Delivery<br />

problems have been for the most part eliminated.<br />

ATTISAT is also involved in the <strong>de</strong>velopement<br />

of V-Sat systems, the manufacture of<br />

microwave <strong>de</strong>vices and the <strong>de</strong>velopement and<br />

production of RX/TX outdoor systems for Internet/Multimedia<br />

via <strong>satellite</strong>. They also have their<br />

own R&D (Research and Development) <strong>de</strong>partment<br />

whose function is to handle <strong>de</strong>velopement<br />

contracts from customers in the Satcom industry.<br />
