SENCORE — Sallies Forth For Sat Show (SatBroadcasting™)

At the upcoming Satellite 2010 show, SENCORE will showcase advanced products for flexible signal processing, multiplexing, testing, and monitoring that meet the specific needs of the satellite market.

The SENCORE DMG 3000/3100 multiplexer is a simple and powerful digital cable solution for operators launching or expanding digital services. Developed specifically for digital cable operators, the multiplexer relies on advanced software to simplify deployment and operational routines, while performing thorough analysis of source PSI/SI and PSIP tables and automatically regenerating all tables as required.

The SENCORE TSM 1770 Transport Stream Monitor enables engineers to monitor compressed audio, video, and data services on any satellite network. With full support for ASI, SMPTE310M, 8-VSB, QAM, and Ethernet physical inputs, the TSM 1770 offers complete system confidence because it reports transport stream status on the physical layer, protocol, and audio/video levels. It also monitors quality of service parameters and delivers the results in a straightforward way so that even non-experts in MPEG can make decisions that maximize service availability.

The SENCORE VideoBRIDGE family of monitoring, measurement, and analysis tools employs stream-based IP packets for continuous quality assurance of a network containing streaming media services. With devices ranging from advanced core monitoring systems for national networks to edge-specific and even customer premises applications, the VideoBRIDGE line of products delivers a complete end-to-end monitoring system to ensure consistent, high-quality signal delivery no matter what the application.

Designed for television and broadcast engineers who need signal testing power and portability, the SENCORE Hamlet Protean is available in Axiom HD and Index SD versions. Both offer individual enabling of Y and C components; a user-defined 64-character alphanumeric keypad; embedded audio selectable on all groups, 1 through 4; industry-standard video signals; a moving-pattern MPEG signal; and a path continuity check test signal.

The SENCORE FAST S2 Advanced Satellite Pointer is a lightweight and easy-to-use device that guides the user through the dish alignment process then performs testing of multiple transponders to ensure optimized and reliable satellite reception. Features include complete tuning capabilities for testing any digital or analog satellite signal, fully demodulated DVB-S and DVB-S2 QPSK, 8PSK, SCPC, and MCPC signals to fit a wide range of applications; and configurable satellite channel planning that allows setup for any location.
