The TRM 98 is used to receive, convert, process, and re-distribute many television (and sometimes radio) channels from satellite / terrestrial sources, to a bunch of users (e.g. in a hotel, hospital, or residential complex)
Product Description
Product specification
Multiple satellite inputs (4 LNB / wide-band inputs) It can connect to 4 satellite feeds. This allows capturing many satellite transponders (signals) from different satellites or different polarizations / frequency bands.
8 tuners / demodulators DVB-S / S2 / S2X / multistream / BISS The unit can demodulate up to 8 streams (transponders) from the satellite inputs. These include newer standard DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X, which support higher efficiency and more channels per transponder; “multistream” allows one transponder to carry multiple streams. BISS is a form of encryption / scrambling often used in satellite broadcasting.
Dual-quad DVB-T/C output / modulation After receiving satellite signals, the TRM98 converts (transmodulates) them into terrestrial-style signals: DVB-T (COFDM) or DVB-C (QAM). “Dual-quad” means it can produce two quads of outputs (i.e. 2×4 = 8 output channels) in those formats. This is useful for distributing over coaxial cables inside a building, or other internal networks.
Wide output frequency ranges For DVB-T/ COFDM the output frequency might be in e.g. ~170-230 MHz, ~470-862 MHz (depending on local terrestrial channel planning); for DVB-C similarly wide frequency ranges. This gives flexibility to avoid interference, match the existing cable infrastructure and licences.
Adjustable level, good signal quality The unit allows setting output levels, has specifications for MER (Modulation Error Ratio), etc., meaning a well-tuned output with low errors.
