CP560

DVB-T2 Gateway

 The CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway provides a central point of control for DVB-T2 networks, enabling the operator to take advantage of the more efficient spectrum utilization promised by the next generation terrestrial broadcasting technology. The CP560 utilizes the advanced processing capabilities of the cProcessor family to adapt the transport stream into the DVB-T2 Modulator Interface format.

The CP560 also enables the DVB-T2 Modulator Interface to control the modulator parameters and provides the accurate timing and rate control required for SFN (single frequency network) operation. The CP560 is part of T-VIPS’ cProcessor product family, a line of compact and powerful and cost-effective, products designed for advanced processing and handling of MPEG transport streams. The CP560 provides flexible interfacing with ASI or IP inputs, and DVB-T2 MI outputs over ASI and IP.

Key features

  • DVB-T2 MI interface to DVB-T2 modulators
  • DVB-T2 SFN MIP insertion
  • Single and multiple PLP operation
  • Support for deterministic T2 frame alignment
  • Individual signalling of DVB-T2 modulators (MISO, PAPR)
  • ASI and IP input/output interfaces
  • User-friendly configuration and control

Business Benefits

  • The CP560 is part of T-VIPS’ cProcessor product family, a line of compact, powerful and cost-effective, products designed for advanced processing and handling of MPEG-2 transport streams.
  • DVB-T2 promises significantly better frequency resource utilisation in terrestrial networks than DVB-T. In fact, DVB-T2 can give up to 50% increase in on-air available bandwidth.
  • Amongst other things, the DVB-T2 standard provides additional frequency bandwidth options, extended carrier modes up to 32k, as well as rotated constellations which provide increased carrier robustness.

Applications

  • Gateway between DVB-T2 head-ends and transmission network
  • DVB-T2 preprocessing
  • Centralized control and signalling of DVB-T2 modulators
  • Synchronization for DVB-T2 SFN networks
