TeamCast—Technology Showcase @ IBC2013 (SatBroadcasting™—Transmission Equipment)

[SatNews] Well known for its advanced COFDM modular technology for terrestrial TV transmission and extremely high performance wireless links, TeamCast is also active in the single carrier transmission business with a portfolio of cutting edge and innovative ideas regarding spectrum purity, spectrum efficiency, and power efficiency for satellite transmission equipment.

Spectrum purity: TeamCast’s unique digital output signal filtering provides unprecedented EVM and spurious performance in comparison with competition. This standard filtering permits compliance with the sharp roll off values used today.

Spectrum efficiency: With this standard, no option RF quality, 32 APSK constellations now become possible for satellite transmissions allowing improved capacity performances. Combining 32 APSK with lower roll-off values allow you to carry more payload at lower power on your satellite channels, at no additional cost.

Power efficiency: TeamCast has a unique expertise in digital precorrection of multi carrier signals (which are very demanding, due to the inherent high Power to Average Ratio of these signals) and the ability to apply this technology to mono carrier signals, allowing the correction of channel distortions and thus increase your link budget margins.

DVB-Sx Ready: with its field programmable technology, Vyper can easily be upgraded with the next enhancements of the DVB-S2 standard.

TeamCast is displaying its compact “all-in-one” VYPER modulator, as well as its high-end professional SYPER demodulator on its booth 2B51.

Additionally, TeamCast will announce at IBC 2013 its NEW OEM DVB-S/S2 satellite demodulator board, SaTurn, dedicated to the professional Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD) industry.

SaTurn offers unprecedented features…

• Most compact DVB-S/S2 OEM board in the market
• All-In-One approach (all DVB-S/S2 features, including VCM (multi-stream) and ACM)
• Dual on-board demodulator
• Low power
• Top class performances for 16 APSK and 32 APSK (ultra low implementation loss), providing the most efficient transponder usage

Integration into an IRD product has never been so easy: SaTurn, a stand alone board with its embedded CPU, provides the best functional flexibility, easyto- operate API with all necessary connectors and a future proof embedded FPGA, leading to the shortest time to market for IRD developers. By making this, TeamCast is following its strategy to provide the most innovative solutions for the satellite industry. TeamCast is displaying its high-end professional SaTurn demodulator as well as its compact “All-In-One” VYPER modulator for the first time at the show on its booth 2B51.
