Multiplex service
- Signal reception at signal entry point,
- Signal transmission from signal entry point to encoder inputs (if necessary),
- Encoding of audio, video (HD and SD MPEG-2/H.264) and other signals in statistical VBR or CBR format,
- Transmitting and multiplexing of compressed channels,
- Generating, inserting and multiplexing of PSI/SI information,
- Forwarding the multiplexed signals to the uplink system.
Digital satellite uplink service
To provide the highest availability Hungaro DigiTel has installed redundant modulators, upconverters, amplifiers and high gain antennas.
Hungaro DigiTel transmits standard DVB-S or DVB-S2 modulated signals towards the satellite. The most important modulation parameters, the symbol rate and the utilized bandwidth are set up during the actual line-up procedure in close cooperation and supervision with the satellite supplier.
Provision of satellite capacity
Beside the satellite uplink and content distribution service Hungaro DigiTel is ready to provide satellite capacity for both temporary and long-term periods. Our current lease contracts with several satellite suppliers allow us to allocate the necessary capacity with the shortest possible deadline.
Conditional access service (CONAX)
Hungaro DigiTel uses the latest Conax Contego system and provides the on/off management of the cards including a firewall protected internet access to the Conax central management software where our customers are able to activate/deactivate their cards.
Hungaro DigiTel also provides for its customers - if requested - Conax cards, moduls and set-top-boxes.
Monitoring
In order to provide the highest availability quick and accurate fault detection, identification and elimination are essential. Hungaro DigiTel performs continuous monitoring within the whole transmission chain at multiply points.
