Carrier Class Edge Technology
Head-end components of the U-series are designed and developed for professional applica-
tions in ultra large cable networks. All devices of this series are designed for installation in 19‘‘
mounting cabinets and redundant power supply. They therefore can optionally be equipped
with redundant power supplies easily.
The U 261 IP / ASI reception-gateway processes up
to 16 IP MPTS into 16 DVB ASI Output streams. The
U 262 ASI / IP transmission-gateway can process up
to 16 DVB ASI signals into IP MPTS. These devices
support RTP and FEC. A transport stream analyzer is
optionally available.
The U 953 enables configuration and management of
the ASTRO Head-end via IP.
Depending on the configuration the U 953 executes
automatiic, time controlled updates and equivalent
circuits. Also possible: Monitoring of the head-end via
SNMP-Traps.
For combining of Head-end signals ASTRO offers
active and passive components. The U 960 can be
custom-built with splitters while the active U 901 (1 x
1 in 8) delivers amplification with lowest intermodu-
lation. The redundant power supply is achieved by
separate power supplies or by remote supply via
RF-jack.
The U 100 series is a modular built IP Head-end
concept. The base unit can house up to three signal
transformers (IP-PAL, -QAM, -FM) which are optio-
nally equipped with redundant power supply.
Hardware and software are built to provide the best
signal supply.
The U 9xx SAT-distribution field can be ordered in
different versions. 1 x 1 in 16 or 2 x 1 in 8, in 75 Ω or
50 Ω design– anything is possible. Furthermore these
devices can be embedded into the ASTRO Bus-
system to configure attenuation and slope from apart.
It is also possible to monitor the LNB-power
consumption.
