64APSK DVB-S2X compliant transmission demonstrated at IBC2014
on TeamCast’s satellite modulators
Amsterdam, September 12, 2014 – TeamCast, the world renowned leader in digital modulation technologies for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), Wireless Transmission and Satellite Applications, demonstrates the DVB-S2X compliance of its S2X software upgrade for Vyper, at IBC2014.
After several years of solicitation by the satellite industry for more efficient use of satellite transponders, the DVB organisation released a new standard for satellite transmission, called DVB-S2X, in March 2014. Based on the DVB-S2 standard already in use in many applications/market segments (Broadcast Services, Interactive services, DSNG and professional services) for the last 10 years, DVB-S2X brings some valuable extensions to DVB-S2 – such as new Constellations, new MODCOD and Roll Off values, in order to increase the net payload capacity for the satellite providers. TeamCast, with its satellite platform Vyper deployed all over the world, is bringing these latest standard improvements to its customers, as a simple software upgrade of this platform – establishing Vyper as the most deployed DVB-S2X system across the world!
“Vyper, the well known and highly acknowledged satellite modulator developed by TeamCast, is continuing its road towards even higher efficiency. Its high RF quality has enabled our customers to take advantage of the world’s first 32 APSK transmissions. Now, just a few months after the DVB-S2 extensions were released by DVB (called DVB-S2X), Vyper is able also to provide 64 APSK satellite transmissions, with just a software upgrade – a new way for our customers to increase their capacity or decrease their costs. As promised, Vyper is an evolutionary platform which will cover our customers’ current and future needs”, says Gerard Faria, Chief technology Officer at TeamCast.
Vyper and the 64APSK demonstration can be seen on TeamCast’s booth at IBC2014: 2B51.
