WORK Microwave… @ IBC2011 With…

[SatNews] This Company will come to IBC2011 with its latest product developments, technology advancements, and cutting-edge solutions.

WORK Microwave will introduce the new-generation DVB-S/S2 modulator with multistream technology; showcase the enhanced IP-modem, now featuring a new powerful user interface and additional power supply for BUCs; and display the company’s array of fourth-generation frequency converters. The WORK Microwave stand at IBC will also hold a live demonstration of the company’s enhanced IP-modem and an interactive test-bench setup will help attendees experience the ACM functionality of the IP-modem first hand. 

Debut: New-Generation DVB-S/S2 Modulator — The company’s latest, new-generation DVB-S/S2 modulator featuring multistream technology will take “center stage.” The high-speed modulator with up to six multistream inputs, 50-180MHz, and/or L-band output (950-2150MHz) is ideal for fixed satellite ground stations as well as for SNG vehicles, fly-aways, or any other mobile or portable applications. The product supports DVB-S2 transmissions in variable coding and modulation (VCM) mode to ensure the highest transmission throughput at all times.

The new improved design of the modulator includes features such as…

• Multistream Technology — Users can now aggregate up to six independent transport streams into one satellite carrier in a fully transparent manner. Multistream technology does not modify the original data streams, maintaining the integrity of the original content. Also, fewer modulation devices are required, reducing both operational expenses and capital investments for users
• Transport Stream over IP (TSoverIP) — In addition to the known ASI interface, the updated modulator now also offers transport over IP. Users can use existing network infrastructure to transport video data
• Enhanced User Interface — The powerful, easy-to-use, and intuitive user interface now supports easier access to all the new features introduced with this product update

Enhanced SK-IP DVB-S2 IP-Modem — The SK-IP DVB-S2 IP-modem is designed for high-speed network layer two and layer three operation. The device uses Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) according to TS 102 606 and boasts a multichannel ACM system (OptiACM) to support full integration of ACM capabilities in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint satellite network links. The combination of these two core features provides optimized data throughput in all usage cases and under all types of environmental conditions. The most recent additions to the IP-modem include…

• Data rate of up to 160Mbit/s
• Additional power supply for direct connection of BUCs to the IP-modem
• New powerful user interface
• Improved single-fan cooling system provides efficient temperature control with minimal noise

Visitors to WORK Microwave’s IBC2011 booth will be able to view a live demonstration of the features and capabilities of the IP-modem. 
A test bench will help attendees learn more about the ACM functionality of the IP-modem. The interactive test setup will demonstrate how the IP-modem compensates for disturbances in the satellite link, due to physical conditions such as humidity and atmospheric precipitation, through real-time adaptation of transmission parameters according to link conditions. The demonstration will include two screens enabling attendees to observe simulated conditions such as noise, data rate, and type of modulation and to witness the flipping over of the constellation diagram.

At IBC2011, WORK Microwave will showcase its wide range of fourth-generation indoor and outdoor converters. The fourth-generation converters cover the frequency bands S-, C-, X-, Ku-, K-, and Ka- and are available as single, dual, or triple-band converters as well as dual-channel converters.

All converters from WORK Microwave feature low phase noise guaranteeing excellent signal quality, while low spurious emissions enable them to be used in environments with demanding requirements such as high-power video uplinks. Additionally, they have the benefit of low power consumption due to up-to-date power supply technology and sophisticated circuit design leading to an even higher reliability and a longer life time. Users of these converters also benefit from a modular architecture that allows highly optimized designs for specific requirements (i.e., frequency range, output power, and conversion gain).
