Universal compact SAT-processing

Universal and compact - the X-series
By continuous advancement the approved head-end modules of the X-series have
matured to a complete, rounded off concept for nearly every demand.
Within the series ASTRO offers three base units for different requests:
Base units of the X-series
Which signals can be converted with the X-series?
The arrangement of the signal processing with the base units X-2 twin, X-5 twin and X-8 twin
and the price-competitive digital twin-modules result in the systems high efficiency. Of course
all modules of the X-series can be used in the V 16 base unit as well.
The plug-in cards of the X-series offer you approved technology and flexible mounting of the
base units with plug-in modules. Digital (DVB-C / -S / -T) as well as analogue input signals can
be processed and converted into cable-suitable DVB-C, PAL or FM signals.
The high-performance transmodulators are HDTV applicable and support all features
required for processing cable signals according DVB-C standard. But also the transcoders
for PAL and FM offer convincing features, of which operators as well as endcustomers
will benefit. Terrestrial converters, modulator-cards and analogue
SAT-modules complement the X-series.
The very good price/performance ratio of the X-series makes it possible to use it even in small
networks, but because of the good system parameters it can promptly be used in larger
CATV-networks.
