iDirect MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway
Request QuoteThe MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway brings density in hubs and terminals on top of satellite link efficiency. This results in OPEX and CAPEX savings in a multitude of applications. Its density and the support of DVB-S2X gets its full value in distribution networks to towers or head-ends. It is also fit for broadcast contribution applications…
Description
Building upon the MDM6100 Broadcast Satellite Modem software suite, the enhanced hardware platform of the MCX7000 extends the modem capabilities beyond single carrier support. This is in full compliance with all satellite DVB standards up to DVB-S2X. In a multi-modulator configuration, four 133 Mbaud carriers can be generated. In a multi-demod configuration, three 133 Mbaud carriers can be demodulated. As a modem, two carrier demodulation can be combined with the modulation of a 133 Mbaud carrier. Each and every transport stream embedded into the received carriers can be outputted on to one of the six (optional) ASI or dual Ethernet ports. The same data interfaces can be used as input ports for the modulator. Transmodulation of a received stream is also an option.
Its remote in-band management and software upgradeability makes it the receiver equipment of choice for remote unattended towers and headends. Subsequent releases of this future-proof DVB-S2X platform guarantee, by simple software upgrade, even increased functionality and higher density.
Delivering the highest uptime for vital links
according to the DVB standard, as well as in the transport stream NIT Table. The re-ordering and gap filling of missing
packets in transport streams is done with the Seamless in-put stream switching option. Special care was taken to cope
with jittery transport streaming over IP inputs. The six ASI ports are programmable as inputs or outputs and allow for
monitoring of operational ASI ports as well. To protect the satellite transmission, the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) option can be activated. AES encrypts/decrypts – with a high-security level – the content of all DVB-S2(X) streams.
On the Transport Stream level, BISS scrambling/ descram-bling is also an option.
Get the best performance and lower your costs
The MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway is one of the best performers to offer unmatched bandwidth efficiency
optimization options, thereby lowering overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The fully automated operation of field-
proven Equalink® 3 predistortion technology is now available for any satellite transmission application providing up to 15% bandwidth gain in DVB-S2(X) 8PSK mode in single carrier per transponder constellations. Clean Channel Technology®, in combination with DVB-S2X, improves satellite efficiency by up to 15%, thereby enabling much smaller carrier spacing.
Maximum symbol rates up to 133 Mbaud and modulations up to 256APSK (DVB-S2X standard) combined with Variable
Coding and Modulation (VCM) allow for maximum throughput in large contribution links.
Up to eight transport streams are supported in both directions over the redundant GbE ports. In addition, another six transport streams can be routed in either direction over the optional six ASI ports. The streams received from up to three satellite carriers can be sent to any of the ASI or GbE ports.
The MCX7000 Multi-Carrier Satellite Gateway can be easily monitored and controlled via a comprehensive front panel menu, advanced web GUI as well as via SNMP protocol or RESTful API. This enables easy integration into any industry-
standard EMS/NMS system. Its bidirectional remote in-band management and software upgradeability makes it the receiver equipment of choice for remote unattended towers and headends.
