Modulation & Demodulation Tailored to Broadcast
 The CDM-710 Broadcast Satellite Modem is based on the transmission standard, DVB-S2, and is ideally suited for High Definition Television (HDTV). DVB-S2 extends the scope of possible applications by combining functionality of previous standards developed for Direct-to-Home and professional environments. The broad range of modulation and coding formats of DVB-S2 enable link performance optimization – delivering on average 30% greater throughput when compared to DVB-S services. Users can tailor a link for the available bandwidth and power. The Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) or optional Gigabit Ethernet interface for the CDM-710 support both legacy and green field video production builds. And, beyond the DVB-S2 support, the CDM-710 offers spectral roll-off functionality that delivers additional satellite transponder cost savings.

IP Encapsulator and Receivers
The Encapsulator and Receivers are IP-based and support DVB standards DVB-S & DVB-S2. The products optimize end-to-end solutions for stand-alone and overlay broadband IP networks. A range of interfaces, redundancy options and IP-based management are provided to accommodate diverse network configurations. The Encapsulator and Receiver products support video and IP-based content contribution and distribution.
The IP Encapsulator and Receivers for IPTV are highly reliable. The products are built on embedded operating systems, like cell phones or set-top boxes, not servers or PC operating systems. They also draw less power than a server or PC. There are no hard drives in the products that can fail.

| IP Encapsulator |
Our IP Encapsulator is a Multi-Protocol Encapsulator (MPE) device that encapsulate IP data into MPE format for distribution over DVB-S & DVB-S2 networks.
The products provide unmatched value for broadcast applications.

| Receivers and Filtering |
 Our Receivers are media routing devices that enable the reception of DVB-S and DVB-S2 transport stream and IP-based multimedia content (video, audio and data) to be delivered over satellite or high-speed ASI links and distributed to remote devices. The filtering functionality is offered by the Media Router 6000, a versatile, combination platform. The receivers are ideally suited for IPTV applications. They provide ease of use, flexibility and reliable operation, featuring an embedded central processing unit, an eCOS operating system and support for 1:1 redundancy. Each receiver can be managed at the program identifier (PID) level to provide operators with the maximum flexibility in selecting national content to pass through, as well as content that needs to be filtered to comply with local blackouts.
