Prezados Leitores
Desta vez a TELE-satlite deu o Prmio de Inovao a um produto que na verdade o outro lado. Normalmente a TELE-satlite incide sobre os receptores e no os transmissores. Ento, porque mudar? Porque com a IPTV - TV via Internet est a revelar-se o inicio de uma nova era! Porqu? Vamos ver em pormenor a tecnologia de recepo: no importa se uma recepo por satlite, recepo terrestre ou por cabo: Sempre existiram dois lados para esta tecnologia um transmissor e um receptor. No importa se o sinal de TV foi enviado por antena, ou seja, transmitido via satlite ou terrestre, ou por meio de um cabo como numa rede de TV por cabo, cada canal tinha que ser transmitido em simultneo e seguidamente, seleccionado pelo sintonizador do receptor. Mas para IPTV este princpio bsico no se aplica: o transmissor IPTV apenas envia o programa especfico que o receptor do outro local pediu. Deixa de existir o sintonizador! primeira vista, isto parece um pouco estranho, mas se voltarmos a ver percebemos que um receptor IPTV de longe muito mais barato. Um receptor IPTV um receptor sem sintonizador. Alguns fabricantes at do a nome a estes receptores de tuner-less boxes (caixas semsintonizador), os restantes componentes de um receptor IPTV so praticamente idnticos aos que podem ser encontrados em cada receptor de satlite, terrestre ou por cabo. Os receptores sem sintonizador tambm significa algo mais: acabaram-se as antenas! O telespectador foi sempre o responsvel pelos custos de montar a sua prpria antena, quer seja uma antena parablica ou uma antena terrestre. Com uma rede por cabo, o fornecedor era responsvel pelos custos envolvidos na instalao do cabo coaxial at chegar a casa do espectador. Mas o fornecedor conseguia sempre mais tarde recuperar estes custos atravs de uma taxa mensal que o telespectador tinha que pagar pelo servio por cabo. Por outras palavras, os custos de recepo foram sempre colocados do lado dos telespectadores. Com IPTV a maior parte destes custos desapareceu. Actualmente uma ligao Internet considerada uma norma assim como um ligao a uma rede de energia elctrica. A TELE-satlite nunca falou sobre como alimentar energia num receptor, era bvio! E actualmente, tambm seguro supor que cada telespectador tem uma ligao Internet. No preciso se preocupar sobre as coisas que so bvias. Se conseguirmos supor que cada famlia tem uma ligao Internet, isto significa que a IPTV passou a ser um meio de alternativa econmico para ver televiso. E isto tambm verdade para os fornecedores de programao que tambm tm que considerar isso. certo que, uma vez que estamos a falar a nvel mundial ainda estamos numa fase inicial de acesso a Internet a alta-velocidade, a realidade que ainda no alcanamos o suficiente, mas bvio que o desenvolvimento est ir nesta direco. Com IPTV a transmisso de um canal bem como a recepo desse canal to barata que qualquer um pode ser potencial director de programao. A liberdade infinita que a televiso por satlite nos deu algumas dcadas atrs, pode ser agora revivida de novo com era da IPTV que tem disponvel uma liberdade infinita para os fornecedores de programao: qualquer um pode ser director de programao e podem transmitir tantos canais quantos quiserem. Acabaram-se as limitaes!

At alguns anos atrs estava para alm do nosso imaginrio a TV via internet ou a Ethernet. Entretanto, actualmente, passou a ser uma realidade com os cabos de fibra-ptica de alta-capacidade e a implantao contnua de ligaes broadband que chegam at nossa sala. IPTV uma opo de muitos e actualmente concorre contra o satlite e a televiso por cabo. Alguma vez pensou como que realmente o contedo distribudo via IPTV?
Para responder a essa questo fomos ver o DVB-IP gateway que a NetUP tem para oferecer, um sistema ideal para pequenas redes, como por exemplo em hotis ou hospitais, mas tambm para utilizadores privados ou para qualquer outra pessoa, que pretende distribuir o contedo televisivo pela Internet. O NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x um produto profissional, isto significa que toda a tecnologia est acondicionada numa caixa de 19 polegadas. Para alm disso, todas as ligaes de interfaces importantes esto localizadas tanto na parte frontal e como na parte detrs, o que representa mais uma indicao clara de que o gateway no para as pessoas verem junto ao um televisor, mas dever ser instalado num mvel dedicado para o servidor ou numa prateleira profissional de 19 polegadas. No painel frontal podemos encontrar um visor LCD de duas-linhas que indica o actual modo de funcionamento e fornece uma ajuda valiosa durante a instalao inicial das interfaces de rede. Por falar nisso, existe um total de seis interfaces, que podem ser configuradas individualmente. Para alem destas ligaes temos 10 LEDs e do lado direito cinco botes que permitem o controlo directo do aparelho. Para alm das interfaces de rede mencionadas acima, existem duas portas USB para ligar meios de armazenamento externos e uma porta RS-232 que envia para o exterior informao status numa consola externa. As quatro entradas IF de satlite sobressaem no painel

detrs. So necessrios para receber o sinal para tratamento posterior. Porque estamos a falar de um dispositivo profissional evidente que cada entrada do tuner est equipada com uma dedicada slot de interface comum. Isto significa que pode ser utilizado um mximo de quatro mdulos CI em ligao com esta gateway, que tambm vem equipada com um interruptor mecnico. Todos os componentes so de um extraordinria qualidade, que tem uma nica unidade de alimentao integrada, isto faz com que a maioria dos concorrentes fique pasmada ao comparar com o deles. O modula-
dor est equipado com 2 GB de memria flash e um disco rgido de 1 TB. Na maior parte dos casos esta utilizao profissional significa um uso permanente, por isso vem com um nmero suficiente de ventoinhas internas que fundamental para poder respirar e fornecer uma passagem constante de ar puro. Se no tivesse, muitos dos componentes sensveis ficariam sujeitos a um risco de sobreaquecimento, o que implicaria no final um grande fracasso. Tambm aqui, mais do que evidente que esta passagem de ar no foi projectada para uso numa sala de estar, porque obviamente as ventoinhas criam um rudo que podemos comparar ao dos aspiradores habituais. Ver televiso com o gateway ao lado praticamente impossvel - mas, como mencionamos anteriormente, o gateway deve ser localizado numa divisria dedicada para o servidor, onde as ventoinhas podem fazer vontade o seu buzz e num local distante da recepo. O fabricante envia este sistema com uma gama completa de acessrios de fixao de modo que a montagem pode ser feita numa prateleira qualquer de 19 polegadas ou num mvel para servidores. O

manual que fornecido com o gateway muito prtico e deve responder a qualquer tipo de questes que ponderam surgir. Pela primeira vez deve ser estabelecida uma ligao rede antes de aceder ao gateway. Nesta altura uma das seis interfaces de rede disponveis conectada directamente num PC ou com um router, e obtm um endereo IP. Aqui os cinco botes no painel frontal so importantes bem como o ecr LCD. Teoricamente, pode definir os endereos IP para todas as trs interfaces de rede directamente no aparelho; para simplificar recomendvel comear com uma porta e as outras cinco pode fazer atravs da interface Web que fica disponvel assim que a primeira porta estiver ligada. Desta forma todas as configuraes podem ser seleccionadas no computador atravs da web browser. Assim que o primeiro o primeiro endereo IP for atribudo no gateway, apenas precisa de inserir este endereo na linha de endereos do browser para aceder ao servidor web interno. Vai ser necessrio digitar o nome correcto do usurio e a senha que definida por norma como valor standard. Recomendamos fortemente uma configurao pessoal com um nome de usurio e uma senha diferente para certificar-se que o gateway est protegido contra um acesso no autorizado. A interface Web extremamente fcil de usar e assemelha-se ao Microsoft Windows - por isso vai estar maioritariamente familiarizado. No menu principal temos cinco itens (Arquivo, IPTV, Administrao do Sistema, Configurao do Sistema e status do Sistema), obviamente que vamos estar atentos configurao e administrao. Com a ajuda desta interface web integrada todas as seis portas de rede podem ser administradas em separado, e os dados utilizados por cada uma das portas podem ser recuperados.

Cada um dos quatro sintonizadores DVB-S2 podem ser montados e configurados individualmente. Caractersticas que esperamos encontrar em receptores para uso domestico - como a procura automtica, opes extensivas de DiSEqC , blind scan e outros gadgets Tcnicos no esto disponveis, porque este material est feito para

porque est disponvel um total de seis portas Ethernet, quando deveria chegar uma nica porta, a resposta muito simples: Com vrias portas Ethernet possvel distribuir os canais em vrios nveis diferentes, isto significa que um nvel pode fornecer canais que no esto disponveis noutro nvel de distribuio. Desta forma possvel criar at seis pacotes de canais diferentes que so todos recebidos e processados pela mesma gateway, mas pode ser feito por canais totalmente diferentes e que podem ser separadamente distribudos, comercializados ou vendidos. Alm disso, podem ser atribudos diferentes endereos IP a cada adaptador de rede de modo que ficam disponveis vrios nveis na mesma arquitectura de rede. Por fim, existe tambm a questo da largura de banda como contedo de alta-definio que pode exibir uma distribuio em mais do que uma ligao. O nosso dispositivo de testes veio com quatro sintonizadores DVB-S2, isto significa que fomos capaz de receber, processar e distribuir sinais de satlites. Dependendo das especificaes do cliente, no entanto, o NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x tambm capaz de receber sinais DVB-T, DVB-C e sinais analgicos, com mdulos de recepo a mudarem de modo semelhante aos componentes de hardware Plug&Play.
O fabricante est a trabalhar arduamente para implementar este recurso, porque neste momento temos apenas disponveis sintonizadores de satlite.

pular dados EPG dos canais recebidos, que transmitido para uma middleware que seguidamente processa e desta forma fornecer a informao nas caixas IPTV. Na nossa configurao para testes optamos por enviar para o gateway sinais de quatro satlites diferentes. Visto ao pormenor, o sinal vem dos seguintes transponders: BBC do ASTRA 28.8 Este, MBC do NILESAT 7 Oeste, ORF do ASTRA 19.2 Este e o quarto um transponder do Turksat a 42 Este. At mesmo quando levamos os tuners at ao seu limite com um sinal bastante fraco do ABS1 a 75 Este, todos os quatro sinais foram capazes de enviar um sinal perfeito de vdeo e udio para o exterior. Simplesmente no poderamos pedir mais! Ao todo, chegamos ao impressionante nmero de 32 canais de televiso que foram empacotados para um multicast atravs do endereo IP 224.200.200.201. Ns tambm poderamos ter deixado a porta com 1234, por exemplo e distribuir os canais individuais usando endereos IP separados como o 224.200.200.202, 224.200.200.203 e assim sucessivamente. Para a recepo usamos uma AzBox Ultra HD (veja o relatrio de ensaio da revista anterior TELE-satlite 08-09/2010), que actualmente um dos receptores entre os poucos capazes de processar IPTV com DVB S2. Rapidamente conseguimos configurar o AzBox para receber os canais de nossa prpria rede IPTV e conseguimos fazer o zapping nos dois sentidos da lista dos 32 canais e fez tudo isto muito rapidamente. bvio que no faz sentido criar uma rede IPTV para termos apenas um receptor de um nico cliente, que por isso que ns expandimos a
nossa instalao para incluir diversos PCs no nosso escritrio editorial de acesso IPTV. O software do player VLC (disponvel em www.videolan.org para vrios sistemas operacionais) uma soluo acessvel para recepo IPTV no PC, e por mais que tentasse-mos, no havia qualquer forma de fazermos com que o gateway falha-se. De facto, nem sequer obtivemos qualquer mnimo de soluos. Isto significava que tnhamos de elaborar um teste para que o portal passa-se momentos ainda mais difceis e imaginveis. E que tal uma transmisso de televiso Britnica para um colega na Tailndia, via IPTV? Antes de ligarmos o gateway
da IPTV comeamos por criar uma conexo VPN usando dois Netgear VPN routers em cada extremidade. Passaram apenas alguns segundos para que o nosso colega nos contactasse via Skype para ficarmos a saber que a nossa tentativa foi bem sucedida. Vale a pena dizer, que neste momento temos um acesso muito rpido da Internet no nosso escritrio, que permite suportar velocidades superiores a 20 Mbit/s. Inferior a isto no seria o suficiente para contedos de alta-resoluo. De qualquer forma, o nosso amigo Tailands ficou impressionado pela qualidade de som e vdeo bem como a velocidade de zapping do pacote IPTV que lhe enviamos.

de dados estatsticos para cada porta Ethernet 2. Roteamento da rede 3. Est disponvel um servidor MySQL, bem como um time server 4. Pode armazenar lotes de contedos VOD no disco rgido interno de 1 TB
E porque tem suporte DVB-S2 o gateway capaz de receber e distribuir SDTV mas tambm em HDTV MPEG4/H.264. No detectamos qualquer tipo de falha ao reproduzir contedos HDTV via IPTV. Alm disso, o gateway detecta automaticamente e ajusta os parmetros tcnicos, como a modulao e correco de erros, isto uma caracterstica de grande valor. A impresso geral e impecvel sobre o NetUP DVB-IP
Gateway 4X ainda complementada por uma srie de opes de roteamento, a integrao interna do disco rgido de 1 TB bem como um recurso muito prtico para a actualizao de software. Apenas precisa de fazer donwload do firmware mais recente no site do fabricante e depois transferir para o NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4X via rede usando o FTP. Podemos ver de forma imediata no menu de actualizao com o nmero de verso do software e pode executar e instalar num abrir e fechar de olhos. Todas as seis portas de Ethernet so compatveis com LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit, isto significa que suportam uma corrente mxima que pode tecnicamente ser possvel. O prprio gateway capaz de processar em simultneo at quatro transponders com uma largura de banda total de at 240 MB/s. Tem uma dimenso de 430x44x411 que encaixar sem qualquer tipo de problemas numa prateleira standard de 19 polegadas ou num mvel para servidores e pesa 11,5 kg (principalmente e grande parte deste peso vem da sua potente unidade de fonte de alimentao). Como seria de esperar em equipamentos profissionais, o gateway reinicia automaticamente aps uma falha de corrente e volta para o ltimo modo de funcionamento utilizado. A unidade de alimentao pode funcionar com voltagens de 90 a 240 VAC e com
47 a 63 Hz, que permite uma utilizao global do gateway. Quando est ligado o NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x consome aproximadamente 100W de potncia.Embora o NetUP DVB-IP Gateway 4x seja um componente entre vrios que formam uma verdadeira rede IPTV, tambm pode ser utilizado para a sua causa prpria, assim como ns fizemos na nossa configurao para testes. Ele responsvel pelo processamento e converso do sinal DVB para o formato IPTV compatvel e por isso serve como interface entre a entrada de sinais DVB e a rede IPTV. Por outro lado, os receptores dos clientes, apenas preciso de mudar entre os canais e tratar da imagem usando diferentes endereos IP e portas. Com esta abordagem em mente o gateway pode agir como espinha doral para fornecer sinais em vrios monitores num edifcio, e - naturalmente - a distribuio por sinal satlite, cabo ou terrestre atravs de uma rede ou pela Internet. Por falar nisso, ainda falta saber se podemos desligar o nosso gateway de testes, porque o nossa colega Tailandes parece ter ficado um viciado nos canais da BBC. Ele est contra a nossa finalizao deste teste, porque os canais da BBC que ele est a receber neste momento no esto disponveis na Tailndia. Porm, na maior parte dos casos, o gateway DVB-IP ser usado como um componente essencial numa rede IPTV
muito mais complexa. Para este efeito o gateway est ligado ao middleware que cria um grfico OSD especfico do provider e apresenta canais processados pelo gateway num design visual agradvel e fcil de utilizar. Os operadores tambm podem acrescentar VOD (vdeo on demand), utilizao bilingue ou outros recursos especficos do cliente, isto faz com que esta rede IPTV seja um sistema ideal para hotis, hospitais, prdios ou para aplicao em reas similares. Chegou o momento de acrescentar que a NetUP fornece o gateway sendo um nico componente, mas tambm fornece sistemas de IPTV completos para vrios tipos de solues. Estas solues podem incluir uma middleware correspondente e VOD, alm do gateway no ncleo de rede. O IPTV Combine 4x um destes sistemas, e de novo podemos aqui afirmar com convico que os fabricantes no oferecem apenas uma parte da soluo: Combina-
mos a tecnologia do DVB-IP Gateway 4x e do IPTV 4x juntamente com uma middleware interna, tudo isto se baseia no mesmo hardware. Sendo assim, se um cliente j tem o DVB-IP Gateway 4x e precisa de actualizar o seu sistema para IPTV Combine 4x com uma middleware embutida e os servios VOD, apenas precisa de comprar o software expansvel para que de forma mgica consiga desbloquear todas as funes do Combine 4x sem ter que mudar qualquer um nico componente de hardware. Esta opo de actualizao tambm um dos motivos pelos quais cada DVB-IP Gateway 4x fornecido com um enorme disco rgido de 1 TB. Apenas precisa da sua total capacidade quando o gateway se transforma num IPTV Combine 4x com VOD, quando o disco rgido fica cheio com contedo para que os usurios consigam assistir em qualquer altura. Acreditamos que se juntar tudo isto que acabamos de dizer at ao momento, que ficamos verdadeiramente
A lista de canais do AzBox Ultra HD consiste em canais DVB-S e canais IPTV
impressionados com o DVB-IP Gateway 4x durante os nossos testes. Tem uma extraordinria construo de qualidade e uma perfeita facilidade de utilizao entre as suas principais caractersticas. Uma vez que tem sempre mo um manual abrangente e fcil de compreender, provavelmente at vai ser possvel criar e executar o sistema sem ele. Naturalmente, que apenas podemos encontrar na documentao por escrito especificaes tcnicas e dicas de grande utilidade.
A NetUP utiliza sintonizadores de limiares muito baixos que enviam um sinal estvel at mesmo sob condies de recepo longe do perfeito. E porque tem um total de seis portas Ethernet para sadas de sinais, consegue com toda a liberdade configurar e distribuir em nveis diferentes. Um destaque adicional est escondido por detrs do conveniente recurso da actualizao que pode facilmente alterar o gateway para um IPTV Combine 4x com middleware e VOD embutido.

Bem, no h lei que proba isso, mas por motivos prticos, isto faz sentido, principalmente para os satlites de altitude relativamente baixa (abaixo de 30). Esta razo prtica consegue manter o reector o mais vertical possvel para evitar apanhar chuva, neve e sujidade na antena.
A antena parablica Svec montada
de cabea para baixo: O mastro de montagem nica da Svec permite que a antena parablica seja montada ao contrrio. Sugerimos esta montagem para locais prximos do plo, ou seja em reas onde a altitude para o satlite pretendido varia entre os 0-40 graus. Outra aplicao ser em certas circunstncias, por exemplo numa varanda lotada, colocando o suporte acima do reflector pode ser uma soluo quando no cabe porque a montagem do suporte fica por baixo do reflector.
Uma antena parablica offset recebe sinais de satlite no perpendicularmente prximos sua superfcie reflectora, mas num ngulo de aproximadamente 25. Isto significa que para receber um satlite numa altitude de 25, o reflector posicionado verticalmente. Se a elevao for inferior, o reflector deve ser inclinado em direco terra o que pode parecer que algo est errado com a nossa antena parablica. E se virar de cabea para baixo e posicionar o suporte de apoio do LNB acima do reflector? exactamente isto que Svec fez com a sua antena parablica SK60-PWT19 offset de 60 centmetros para a banda Ku! Svec enviou-nos uma caixa de carto cuidadosamente embalada com dois conjuntos SK60-PWT19. Recebemos tudo em perfeitas condies. Ficamos felizes por saber que esta antena vem com vrios desenhos de montagem e uma lista de materiais que so bastante teis no processo de montagem. Cada parte do kit tem um excelente acabamento e fcil de juntar as peas umas nas outras sem qualquer problema. A sua montagem foi muito divertida. Se j tem um mastro vertical para montar a antena, apenas vai precisar de usar uma chave de 10 mm e uma chave de fendas Phillips. Devido ao facto dos ajustes de ngulo do azimute e elevao dependerem cada um de dois parafusos, realmente fcil de rodar e inclinar o prato feito sem qualquer tipo de problemas. O SK60-PWT19 no vai escorregar pelo suporte abaixo, at mesmo se soltar os 2 parafusos do suporte do mastro. Existe um outro parafuso longo que atravessa a parte superior do suporte do mastro e a antena

vai ficar presa neste parafuso. Este parafuso o eixo do mecanismo de ajuste da elevao. Em alguns casos, isto pode ser uma desvantagem, porque o prato deve sentar-se no topo do mastro. Neste caso, se pretende usar o mesmo mastro para uma antena parablica e uma antena terrestre, vai ter que repensar sobre isso. Normalmente, a antena parablica est montada abaixo e a antena terrestre yagi acima para minimizar o impacto do vento sobre o mastro. Os desenhos de montagem que acompanham a antena parablica apresentam duas formas de montagem: a forma regular com o brao do LNB abaixo do reflector (intervalo de elevao 30-90) e de forma invertida, com o brao acima do reflector (intervalo de elevao 00-40). Podemos ver ambas as variantes nas fotos. A montagem de cabea para baixo parece um pouco estranha, mas funciona muito bem, assumindo que a sua elevao de satlite est na faixa dos 00-40. mais razovel utilizar de forma tradicional para os satlites entre os 30-40, porque o reflector mais vertical vai ter um menor risco da antena apanhar chuva, neve ou poeira. No entanto, se gosta de provocar a curiosidade entre os vizinhos, a montagem inversa pode ser uma opo. Svec oferece mais do que um prato completo. Existe um mastro angular adicional juntamente com suporte de apoio, que pode usar para fixar todo o conjunto, quer numa parede ou no tecto. A parte interessante que: no precisa de ser uma superfcie vertical ou horizontal. Tem um ajuste facilitado que vai de 0 a 90, de modo que pode usar algo que seja suficiente slido como base da antena. No nosso ensaio utilizamos um dos nossos mastros verticais. Primeiro medimos uma antena de 60cm offset da con-
corrncia e colocamos o SK60PWT19 no mastro. Os grficos contam toda a histria. Na realidade a antena parablica Svec comportou-se muito bem. Conseguimos atingir um

Medidor de Sinais DVB-S2
Horizon HD-S2 Medidor de sinais por satlite Muito fcil de Usar como o Seu Irmo Mais Velho
O HD-S2 um sucessor do HDSM USB PLUS o analisador de sinais de satlite que apresentamos na revista TELE-satlite da edio 10-11/2007. Nessa altura o medidor de sinais no era compatvel com DVB-S2. Mas agora, obviamente que j compatvel! Porm isto no apenas o nico melhoramento que a Horizon introduziu nos seus novos medidores de sinais. Iremos abordar estas novidades mais tarde neste relatrio, mas em primeiro lugar gostaramos de salientar as mais importantes caractersticas do medidor de sinais - sua facilidade de uso, foi preservada. Ns at poderamos ter colocado o mesmo ttulo do relatrio que descrevemos o seu antecessor, qualquer pessoa poderia fazer isso. Que continua a ser uma verdade!
Como em todos os medidores de sinais da Horizon, quando recebemos o HD-S2, tambm a sua bateria interna teve de ser carregada durante aproximadamente 8 horas. A fonte de alimentao est embutida por isso apenas precisa de ligar a extremidade do cabo de corrente includo para carregar a bateria interna. Tambm pode carregar utilizando o carregador cabo de isqueiro DC. Quando est totalmente carregada, consegue usar at mais de oito horas da carga mxima. Isto possvel porque tem uma moderna bateria de LithiumPolymer (Li-Po). A bateria
HOR IZON Extremamente fcil de HD- S2 usa de recursos surpreen r com uma lista dente para prossionais

est acessvel atravs de uma aba na parte inferior do medidor de sinais, por isso possvel substitu-la mais tarde ou deslig-la se achar que no vai utilizar o HD-S2 durante um determinado tempo. O painel frontal composto por dois conectores F, ecr LCD com luz de fundo e um
teclado com quatro botes. Existe uma tampa de plstico que est fixa no painel frontal. Quando estamos com o medidor de sinais no terreno podemos verificar que est bem protegido contra pingos de chuva. A sada do conector F que provavelmente no vai utilizar com muita frequncia est protegida com uma tampa de borracha. A Chuva no tem hipteses de entrar dentro do instrumento. Outra camada de proteco contra o ambiente hostil a bolsa de transporte em nylon. Tem uma bolsa de lado e um Guia prtico de Iniciao Rpida sobre a superfcie interior da aba. As aberturas em velcro permitem ligar os cabos sem ter que retirar o aparelho da bolsa. A ala para utilizar no pescoo ajustvel que permite utilizar ambas as mos para lidar com a antena.
Uso
Se estiver familiarizado com qualquer outro tipo de medidores de sinal da Horizonte por satlite, cabo ou terrestre, nesse caso realmente no vai precisar de muito tempo para descobrir como funciona o seu novo HD-S2. A seta para cima vai para o menu de instalao e seta para baixo para uma operao normal. Os botes cima/baixo so usados para a navegao no menu e os botes esquerda/ direita para seleccionar a opo/valor de um determinado item no menu. O menu de configuraes tem doze itens: Luz do Monitor (ligada/desligada), Click (ligado/desligado), Brilho (0 ... 15), Contraste (0 ... 50) Desligar (1 ... 30 minuto ou sempre ligado), Idiomas (Ingls, Francs, Indonsio, Espanhol, Italiano, Alemo, Holands, Polaco, Sueco, Dinamarqus, Noruegueses, Croata), distribuio de energia RF (dBV dBm/dBmV),
voltagem do LNB(zero ou 13/18V), Parmetros originais, Azimute (Mag/True), verso de firmware e lista das cidades europeias. O ltimo ponto requer alguma explicao. O HD-S2 da Horizon pode calcular a elevao e o azimute da
antena parablica de qualquer satlite pedido. Para que consiga usar esta aplicao, tem que seleccionar a sua localizao. A opo de menu Eur Cities indica que regio de pesquisa foi carregada. Escolhendo uma cidade prxima de sua localizao acelera o
processo. Dependendo de sua antena parablica escolhida o azimute ser calculado de acordo com o plo geogrfico ou magntico. Assim que estiver tudo definido de acordo com as nossas preferncias, pode sair do menu de configurao desligando o medidor de sinais. Agora podemos ligar a sada do LNB na entrada do conector que fica no painel frontal do HD-S2 e a ligar o medidor de sinais no boto de seta para baixo. Assim que recebermos as boas-vindas no ecr, o medidor de sinais exibe no ecr a pesquisa de sinais. Na parte superior temos o nome do satlite e mais abaixo uma barra de intensidade de sinal e potncia do canal dBV (ou outras configuraes do menu no Menu de Configurao). Com as setas esquerda/ direita, pode mudar de satlite e assim que apresentar o satlite pretendido, chega o momento para comear a virar a antena parablica. Enquanto roda o prato, no precisa de ficar a olhar para o visor do HD-S2 porque este gera um sinal sonoro. Vai mudando de tom e variao de repetio da potncia do sinal. muito fcil detectar a posio correcta da antena se ficar apenas a escutar o sinal sonoro. Assim que o medidor de sinais bloquear o sinal rece-
bido, podemos ver no ecr o smbolo de um cadeado bloqueado e uma barra adicional. Representa o Modulation Error Ratio (MER). O seu valor em dBs apresentado abaixo da barra. O MER medido numa resoluo de 0,1 DB isto mais do que suficiente para alinhar uma antena. No entanto, a Horizon deu um passo mais frente. Se pressionar o boto de seta para baixo, poderemos ver no ecr a potncia do canal e o MER
de forma ampliada (zoom). As leituras ficam ainda mais sensveis que anteriormente quando muda a posio da antena. Pressionando a seta para baixo podemos ver o Bit Error Rate (BER) para o sinal DVB-S ou o Derived Bit Error Rate (DER) para DVB-S2. Como se isso no bastasse, tambm pode sair do ecr de procura de sinal (com a seta para cima), e seleccionar o item Spectrum atravs
do menu principal. O Horizon HD-S2 apresenta uma parte do espectro com um canal de testes no centro do ecr. Acima do espectro temos uma srie de parmetros que apresentado de forma alternada: frequncia central, alcance da frequncia, polarizao do LNB e a presena dos 22 kHz de sinal. Em condies de baixo nvel de sinal, dever usar a opo do menu seguinte: Spectrum com o smbolo de uma lupa.

Outro item de menu interessante poder utilizar a Constelao. Como poderamos esperar, exibe um diagrama da constelao de sinais (QPSK, 8PSK ou APSK - dependendo do sinal). Alm disso, o LCD apresenta a frequncia de sinal, symbol rate, modulao, FEC, IQ swap e presence of pilots (DVB-S2). A listagem do HD-S2 que recebemos para testes contm 20 transponders dos 13 satlites Europeus mais conhecidos. bvio que as unidades vendidas em outras regies vo apresentar os respectivos satlites mais conhecidos da zona. A pgina web da Horizon www.horizonhge.com contm uma sub-pgina para efectuar download para o HD-S2, aqui futuramente vai poder descarregar estas listas especficas para cada Pas. No entanto, se no estiver satisfeito com a sua lista, tambm pode produzir a sua prpria lista. Existem quatro transponders DVB-S e outros quatro transponders o DVB-S2 que podem ser personalizados e programados pelo usurio. Pode aceder atravs do item de Personalizao do menu. Aqui consegue definir os parmetros necessrios: frequncia LOF, sinal de 22 kHz, frequncia do transponder, symbol rate, FEC (poder ser Desconhecido = Automtico), tenso do LNB, IQ swap e pilots (apenas para DVB-S2; poder ficar em Auto). Uma caracterstica importante no medidor de sinais a sua capacidade para enviar comandos DiSEqC. O HD-S2 compatvel com DiSEqC 1.0 e 1.1. Nos itens de menu individuais, pode seleccionar um dos 2 satlites, um dos 4 satlites ou um dos 16 satlites. Alm disso, o HD-S2 da Horizon pode enviar comandos apropriados para conduzir sistemas dual horn seleccionando um dos dois satlites e tambm a sub-banda e a polarizao. Infelizmente, no pode usar o HD-S2 para controlar os motores DiSEqC. Se pensa que isto tudo o que HD-S2 pode fazer por si, est enganado. Por exemplo: tem um menu de items especiais especificamente para testar o servio de Internetvia-satlite Astra2Connect que procura transponders 37
dedicados para este servio. Uma outra funo bastante rara o desvio de medidas do LNB que pode ser utilizado por exemplo para verificar se o desvio LOF a razo de perder o sinal num sistema de recepo. Alm disso, o HD S2 consegue mesmo testar o cabo do LNB para verificar se existem circuitos em aberto. E para concluir, pode registar os resultados da medio na memria interna. Usando o Application Log Reader que se encontra para download no PC atravs do website da Horizon, tem acesso ao resultado armazenado bem como a possibilidade de transferir do HD-S2 para o seu PC num formato de arquivo ASCII. Vo estar disponveis mais funes exticas como o teste de sada SCR e a Funo Histograma para download atravs da webpage da Horizon. Isto tudo vai estender a versatilidade do medidor de sinais para os verdadeiros especialistas utilizarem. O fornecimento de 21V no LNB necessrio para o SCR (Roteador de Cabo Simples) e o HD-S2 no tem problemas com isso. Existe um item de menu especial: LNB 21V.
bas. No entanto, se utilizar o medidor de sinais para alinhamento de uma antena - que afinal a sua principal aplicao o HD-S2 apresenta nmeros exactos para uma instalao. Consegue sempre sintonizar os seus sistemas de acolhimento com uma mxima intensidade de sinal e qualidade. Com um medidor de sinais tivemos um limite mximo MER de = 11.5 dB e com o outro um MER = 15 dB. Mas consegue obter o mximo na mesma posio da antena.
Ainda mais importante que o medidor de sinais reage muito rpido: tanto para bloquear o sinal quando roda a antena parablica como para apresentar a evoluo da qualidade de sinal quando efectua uma afinao fina. Alm disso, as leituras MER so bastante estveis se a antena no estiver em movimento. Estas caractersticas so ainda mais importantes para um profissional do que a preciso absoluta.
Medidor de sinais leve, compacto e fcil de usar para alinhamento ems antenas parablicas. Mala bastante prtica. Uma bateria muito boa. Inesperadamente com muitas caractersticas num aparente simples instrumento. Bloqueio de sinal bastante rpido que reage s mudanas de sinal.

LNB Monobloco
para ASTRA 1 a 19.2 Este e ASTRA 3 a 23.5 Este

Na Europa, provavelmente o monobloco LNBF mais conhecido tem 6 de afastamento. Pouco menos conhecidos so os LNBF com 3 de afastamento. Mas se pretender receber dois satlites que esto a 4.3 de afastamento como o ASTRA dos 19.2 Este e o ASTRA 23.5 Este? Nem o monobloco LNBF de 6 nem o de 3 graus vai servir. Felizmente alguns fabricantes perceberam as necessidades do mercado e desenvolveram monoblocos de 4.3. Um desses fabricantes orientado para este mercado a Jiuzhou uma empresa j conhecida pelos leitores da TELE-satlite. Numa revista anterior, testamos o monobloco de 6 (TELE satlite 06-07/2008). Desta vez resolvemos aprofundar o JQB4P um monobloco quad feito para um afastamento de 4.3 entre satlites.
O monobloco est contido numa caixa de metal selada a silicone. O LNBF um pouco pesado

os originais 23 milmetros de tubo com camada de fita adesiva e seguidamente colocar o adaptador. Assim criamos atrito extra e no havia risco de que o monobloco mudaria a sua posio de forma espontnea. O primeiro teste que efectuamos foi para comparar o desempenho do LNBF quad da Jiuzhou com o nosso LNBF de referncia. O LNBF de referncia um monobloco simples universal com um baixo nvel de rudo (NF = 0.2dB) e com um afastamento de 4.3. Utilizamos um prato offset de 85x80 centmetros com um f/D ratio de 0,6. Medimos e comparamos os LNBs em foco assim como o LNBs descentrados. Se analisar as Figuras 1 a 4, vai reparar que o quad JQB4P gera uma sada ligeiramente inferior ao dispositivo simples. O nvel alto da banda Ku ainda melhor do que o nosso de referncia. possvel dizer que o nvel de sada do JQB4P suficientemente forte para redes de distribuio de porte baixo e mdio. Apenas dever considerar a montagem de amplificadores em configuraes de antena que precisam de cabos bastante compridos. E quanto ao desempenho do nvel de rudo? Pode o dispositivo quad ser comparado com o desempenho de um monobloco simples? Podemos ver os resultados de medio nas Figuras 5 a 8. A performance do JQB4P muito boa, praticamente a mesma do nosso em referncia. Geralmente, um aparelho quad tem um resultado MER pior que um dispositivo simples, mas no este o caso. Verificamos apenas que a polarizao vertical do LNB central tem um desempenho um pouco inferior. Os sinais de polarizao horizontal so captados igualmente bem como o de LNB simples de referncia. Obtivemos resultados ainda mais positivos com o LNB descentrado. Aqui, o JQB4P funciona melhor na polarizao vertical e praticamente o mesmo na polarizao horizontal. O prximo passo que pretendemos fazer foi testar a igualdade das quatro sadas do JQB4P. As Figuras 9 a 12 contam como foi: no existe praticamente nenhuma diferena entre os quatro resultados. Principalmente os resultados MER so praticamente idnticos. Isto significa que nenhuma das quatro vias de sinal superior ou inferior em comparao com as outras. Poderia ficar por aqui com o nosso teste de ensaio mas decidimos ir mais adiante. Existe ainda um outro satlite que est numa distncia angular similar ao Astra 3 nos 23.5 Este. Estamos a falar do Astra 2 a 28.2 Este. A diferena no de 4.3 e 4.7 mas quem sabe, ser possvel a utilizao do JQB4P neste par de satlites? Ns reposicionamos o monobloco no suporte de forma que o LNBF descentrado fica-se do lado oposto e verificamos o sinal. Ficamos impressionados, o nosso medidor de sinais apresentou de imediato o smile verde que significa que foi possvel a recepo. Para compararmos, fizemos outro grupo de medies - ver figuras 13 e 14. No teste em detalhe podemos ver que h uma perda

Uma ptima soluo para o ASTRA 1 a 19.2 Este e o ASTRA 3 a 23.5 Este. Excelente desempenho acstico dos dois LNBFs comparando com os concorrentes 0,2 - 0,3 dB. Todas as quatro sadas igualmente boas
Especialista no Assunto
Bastante pesado. O anel adaptador de suporte 40/23 deveria ser mais adequado
de qualidade de sinal em comparao com a recepo de satlites com um espaamento de 4.3. Neste caso pode esperar vir a ter problemas com a recepo de alguns transponders, especialmente se estiver mau tempo. Contudo, dever mesmo assim receber os transponders mais potentes. E no se esquea que este dispositivo no destinado para este tipo de aplicao. Ns foramos para cumprir a nossa (e esperemos que a sua) curiosidade. Assim, a melhor ideia ser usar o JQB4P de 4.3 de espaamento de acordo com as suas especificaes. De certeza que vai ficar satisfeito com os resultados. ainda possvel receber 2 satlites separados por 4.7 mas nem todos os repetidores so garantidos se estiver mau tempo. Para uma utilizao fora deste padro, poder considerar a utilizao do JQB4P montado sobre um pequeno prato, digamos, 75x70 centmetros. Neste caso, o seu LNB offset dever corresponder aos 4.7 de espaamento do satlite.
1. Um medidor detecta o perfeito alinhamento de dois satlites. O monobloco JQB4P utilizado para a recepo do Astra 1 (19.2 E) e ASTRA 3 (23.5 E) 4.3 de espaamento. 2. O monobloco pode ser utilizado com sucesso para outro par de satlites: ASTRA 3 (23.5 E) e Astra 2 (28.2 E) com 4.7 de espaamento. Tambm aqui, o nosso medidor detecta uma fora de sinal e qualidade muito boa.

A DOEBIS est em expanso

Foi h exactamente trs anos, que a TELE-satlite publicou uma reportagem em DOEBIS, um comerciante grossista de sistemas de satlite na Alemanha. Ns pensamos que estava na altura de perguntar na DOEBIS como eles resistiram a toda esta crise que anda por a. Recebemos uma resposta surpreendente: Estamos em expanso!, Diz Rainer Werking que o Gerente de Operaes em DOEBIS. A empresa utilizou a crise econmica que apareceu em 2008 e em vez de fazer um retrocesso optaram por uma estratgia contrria: eles usaram a oportunidade para investir e principalmente expandir a sua fora de vendas.

Claus Ruebesam trata dos clientes e Gerente
Tcnico de Servios. Podemos ver ele a apresentar o Receptor HDTV HDCI 2010, um dos receptores JAEGER da DOEBIS, com o qual a DOEBIS pretende aumentar o volume de vendas.
Wolfgang Pflaum tem sido o Gerente de Contas desde o final de 2009. Ele est familiarizado com a indstria via satlite desde o seu incio. E recorda esses tempos: O meu primeiro receptor foi um receptor MASPRO. Estvamos em 1988, e desde ento, tem trabalhado em vrias
posies na indstria satlite. Seu trabalho na DOEBIS era expandir a equipa de vendas: Neste momento temos 10 funcionrios na nossa equipa das vendas para responderem a um grande nmero de pedidos dos clientes que aparecem diariamente, informa Wolfgang Pflaum sobre
as suas actividades. Esta grande mobilizao com a equipa de vendas j produzio o seu efeito: Estamos espera de ter um aumento de vendas de 25% at 2010 Explica Rainer Werking ao apresentar o volume de vendas e em 2011 pretendemos ter um outro aumento de 10% .
56
Estes so excelentes resultados de venda e Wolfgang Pflaum explica a razo para isso: Ns adicionamos em nosso sortimento dois nomes de marca bastante fortes: A TOPFIELD para o segmento de alto nvel e STRONG para o segmento mdio. A DOEBIS rapidamente desvenda o seu segredo e apresenta a seus clientes os dois novos nomes e assim apercebe-se dos bons resultados de vendas. Mas a DOEBIS no vende para clientes finais, ento, quem so os clientes da DOEBIS? Os principais clientes da DOEBIS tm sido sempre na categoria dos especialistas e instaladores , relata Wolfgang Pflaum. A nova actividade teve que expandir a equipa de vendas pelo facto de incluir a clssica encomenda por catlogo enviada por correio bem como os
concessionrios online a nvel nacional e internacionalmente. Estamos tambm a responder a esta elevada exigncia destes clientes. Rainer Werking apresenta um breve resumo sobre a configurao geogrfica 75% do nosso volume acontece em pases de lngua Alem e os 25% so no exterior. Na realidade esta percentagem a mesma que tnhamos h trs anos atrs, quando pela primeira vez falamos na nossa revista sobre a DOEBIS (TELE-satlite 10-11/2007). Em comparao com os nmeros de trs anos atrs, percebemos o seguinte: A distribuio do produto tambm permaneceu praticamente o mesmo, diz Rainer Werking , 70% so receptores, 10% para os LNBs e 5% nos analisadores de sinais.
A longo prazo, a DOEBIS verifica que vai surgir uma retirada no nmero de receptores, particularmente os receptores SD mais baratos. Por esta razo a DOEBIS est procura de novos mercados. Estamos a construir qualidade e novas tecnologias, diz Rainer Werking e explica a sua estratgia de diversificao. At onde os receptores HD poderem ir, Rainer Werking tem uma pequena surpresa para ns: Ns desenvolvemos o nosso prprio tipo de receptor! A DOEBIS iniciou recentemente a sua linha de comercializao dos seus prprios receptores sob o nome JAEGER. Esta linha o resultado de sugestes de muitos dos nossos clientes. Com o JAEGER HDCI 2010 oferecemos um receptor de Alta Definio no DVB-S2 e em MPEG4, explica Rainer Werking ,
Um olhar sobre o grande armazm
da DOEBIS. A empresa est com uma localizao bastante central e tambm pode enviar para os clientes no norte da Alemanha bem como no sul da Alemanha bem como para todos os pases vizinhos.

o outro modelo que temos o JAEGER HD+ 2011. Estes dois receptores j esto disponveis: um terceiro modelo ser introduzido com a publicao desta revista, o receptor JAEGER HDTV HD+ 2011 CI+. A TELE-satlite pretende apresentar j na prxima edio um relatrio de ensaio sobre este modelo. Os nossos modelos JAEGER so montados na Alemanha, revela Rainer Werking. O Gerente de Contas Wolfgang Pflaum informa queRelativamente a 2010 esperamos um aumento de vendas destes receptores JAEGER em cerca 5%; para 2011 projectamos um aumento de 10%. A mdio prazo procuramos uma linha de receptores JAEGER que compem aproximadamente 20% das vendas dos receptores da DOEBIS. E j que estamos a falar sobre os receptores, queramos saber que objectivos diferentes pretendem alcanar com os receptores da DOEBIS. Rainer Werking tem resposta para isso: Em 2010, 65%
dos receptores tinham sintonizadores de satlite, de 10% com sintonizadores terrestre e 25% com sintonizadores por cabo. Em 2011, temos uma expectativa para um aumento de 30% nos sintonizadores por cabo e uma queda de 8% nos receptores terrestre e nos receptores via satlite para os 62%. Os gestores da DOEBIS tm uma viso para 2012: O ltimo dos repetidores de TV analgica ser desligado forando milhes de telespectadores a sofrerem uma actualizao para os receptores digitais, comenta Rainer Werking , nessa altura o nosso armazm vai estar carregado de receptores digitais. Se olharmos para a linha de produo da DOEBIS, verificamos que ele composta por produtos de alta-qualidade a partir de algum dos maiores nomes do ramo. E por isso no vai ficar surpreendido de ficar a saber que a DOEBIS tambm vende LNBs de fibra ptica. J temos 5% de nossos comerciantes a optarem usar apenas LNBs pticos,
revela Rainer Werking: Por 2011 esperamos que este nmero aumente para 10%. Poder ainda demorar um curto espao de tempo, mas o tempo vir em sero apenas vendidos os LNBs de fibra ptica. Estes LNBs podem ter um custo elevado mas so muito melhores e podem ser usados em qualquer aplicao. , Confirma Rainer Werking. A TELEsatlite concorda categoricamente com esse sentimento. Geralmente quem tem este tipo de iniciativas quem consegue esculpir um trajecto que todos os outros vo eventualmente seguir. DOEBIS definitivamente uma destas aves que acorda pela madrugada. Vm estas novas oportunidades e lanam-se sobre elas. A DOEBIS j anda nisto aos 22 anos e durante este tempo viveu todos os momentos altos e baixos no setor do satlite e ainda consegue continuar a subir. Chama-se a isto sucesso!

Leitor de cartes Wireless Produzido pela SmartWi
SmartWi Conquista do Mercado Fornecedor

Os leitores habituais desta revista j esto familiarizados com o leitor de cartes wireless do fabricante SmartWi. A revista TELE-satlite edio 06-07/2007 publicou a primeira reportagem sobre esta empresa Dinamarquesa que surgiu com uma ideia gloriosa: E que tal transmitir em casa dados de um carto de um fornecedor de TV por assinatura para um segundo carto? De forma sbita todo este prazer de ver televiso pode ser estendido a partir da sala de estar at ao seu quarto, salo ou uma outra diviso da casa. Ter Pay-TV onde quiser - uma ideia inteligente como esta tambm merece um nome prprio: Smart Wi ou se abreviarmos a palavra SmartWi.

Kurt Olesen o crebro por trs do SmartWi. Ele fundou a empresa em 2005 e quando visitamos pela primeira vez em 2007, j estava com uma gigantesca onda de sucesso. Em 2007 foram vendidos 60.000 produtos SmartWi, mas nos anos seguintes os nmeros de vendas diminuram gradualmente. Em 2010 vamos vender aproximadamente 35 mil dispositivos SmartWi. Mesmo assim, Kurt Olesen tem uma viso extremamente confiante sobre o futuro - e por uma razo: mais ou menos na altura da data de publicao desta edio da TELE-satlite e na exposio IBC, vamos lanar a segunda gerao SmartWi, explica Kurt Olesen e apresenta com orgulho o novo modelo SmartWi. Funciona da mesma forma que a primeira gerao, e acrescenta. Os clientes apenas precisam de ligar o carto de TV por assinatura na unidade e desta forma conseguem ver televiso num segundo televisor usando uma placa adicional que ligada no dispositivo prin-
cipal via sinais de rdio. O novo SmartWi deu um salto quntico, que pode ser claramente visto mesmo do exterior. O filho de Kurt Olesen chama-se Jens Glad e o responsvel pela tecnologia e design dentro da empresa e determinou a aparncia elegante do aparelho. Enquanto a primeira gerao tinha um design pouco robusto, o novo SmartWi possui um design vencedor que quase grita para que seja apresentado com orgulho, ao invs de escond-lo profundamente atrs do armrio. um recurso com estilo e tambm fcil de vencer sobre o produto da casa - por isso no fique com entraves contra este dispositivo tcnico. Neste caso no ser necessrio dizer que as aparncias iludem. Apenas precisa de estar atento lista de todas as inovaes que Jens Glad fez no seu interior: A pea principal o processador que mais rpido e memria do novo programa, que tem o dobro de capacidade da verso anterior. Isto faz com que a segunda gerao SmartWi seja
consideravelmente mais rpida e com uma grande melhoria resposta ao sinal. Mas h mais. A antena incorporada est agora organizada com um layout que permite executar todo o caminho ao longo do eixo longitudinal do dispositivo, isto faz com que as capacidades de transporte sejam decididamente melhores quando comparado com o antigo layout, explica Jens. Outra caracterstica muito interessante a slot da caixa para um segundo carto. O novo SmartWi tem todo o hardware necessrio para usar dois cartes inteligentes ao mesmo tempo, de acordo com Jens Olesen. Os modelos que so actualmente enviados no so activados para a utilizao de carto dual, mas uma actualizao de software ir desbloquear brevemente esse recurso. Os produtos SmartWi de primeira gerao foram vendidos principalmente para o cliente final, e Kurt Olesen est determinado a entrar num territrio desconhecido, tambm neste domnio.

A segunda gerao SmartWi est claramente orientada para o mercado do fornecedor. Foi tambm por isso que ns mudamos o design e mudamos para a cor preta, acrescenta Jens Glad, que responsvel por esta deciso. Com o novo design os fornecedores de contedo vo ser capazes de oferecer SmartWi sob sua prpria marca.
Alis, ele est absolutamente certo ao afirmar que os fornecedores teimosamente ignoram um enorme mercado em termos de um segundo ou terceiro televisor em casa. Conhece algum que tenha apenas um aparelho televisivo? Kurt Olesen gostava de conhecer. Mesmo assim, a maioria dos fornecedores deixam estes clientes ao escuro, porque querem
Pr-visualizao da imagem do novo SmartWi:
do lado esquerdo temos o primeiro dispositivo de gerao com o seu design inspirado, e do lado esquerdo a segunda gerao SmartWi com a sua elegante aparncia. O velho SmartWi aceita o carto de assinatura de lado, por sua vez o carto desaparece completamente na nova verso, criando uma aparncia mais subtil.
for-los a pedir uma segunda assinatura a um preo normal (que para a maioria est fora de questo), ou oferecer um segundo smartcard a uma taxa reduzida - mas novamente aqui no existe forma de saber quem vai realmente usar estes cartes adicionais e no h forma de ter a certeza que eles ficam na mesma casa. Se, por um lado, os fornecedores decidirem oferecer SmartWi directamente aos seus assinantes, ou pelo menos oficialmente adquire a licena, cada assinante ser capaz de usar o seu segundo ou terceiro televisor de forma legal, porque o alcance do SmartWi wireless apenas abrange uma nica casa. Desta forma os fornecedores de contedo no precisam de temer a partilha ilegal do carto, porque isto no possvel com o sistema SmartWi. Kurt Olesen est absolutamente convencido de que os fornecedores de contedo podem ficar com um vasto novo mercado. Por outro lado, ele tambm est ciente de um dilema fundamental: Os tcnicos de empresas fornecedoras esto geralmente abertos para o SmartWi, mas os departamentos de marketing - que poder no se importar tanto com a tecnologia - simplesmente no entendem de que se trata o nosso produto. No entanto, Kurt Olesen est certo que: o novo design vai tambm chamar a ateno das pessoas no mercado, que na realidade o primeiro passo no caminho para o lanamento da segunda gerao SmartWi no mercado do fornecedor. Por uma questo de facto, SmartWi

Na parte mais afastada da zona sudoeste da Alemanha, mesmo no lago de Constana, temos uma pequena cidade de Singen, que o local onde a SPAUN tem a sua sede h mais de 40 anos. Toda a experincia adquirida em dcadas de experincia tecnolgica foi sempre posta em prtica fazendo com que os produtos ficassem cada vez melhor. Hoje, a marca SPAUN sinnimo de produtos de altaqualidade e so inovadores de produtos no mercado de satlite e conseguem ir mais alm. Isto fez com que durante os ltimos anos a SPAUN comea-se a oferecer uma garantia total de 5 anos nos seus produtos. No decorrer de todos estes anos, o fundador da SPAUN Friedrich Spaun e o seu filho Kevin, que entretanto assumiu a administrao da empresa, aperceberam-se de algo. Sempre que um dispositivo era enviado para reparao, o componente que estava com defeito, na maior parte dos casos era a fonte de alimentao, revela Kevin Spaun. E a propsito, este diagnstico verdadeiro para quase todos os dispositivos electrnicos. Os condensadores electrolticos nestes dispositivos so geralmente a culpa destas falhas. No mercado h uma srie de diferentes condensadores elec-
trolticos com diferentes qualidades de produto. Modelos mais baratos so projectados para uma vida til total de 3.000 horas de funcionamento, enquanto os modelos mais sofisticados podem durar 10 mil horas ou mais. Obviamente, que os condensadores electrolticos no deixam de funcionar de repente, depois das 3.000 ou 10.000 horas - a vida constante do produto refere-se a uma mdia de horas com temperatura mxima de funcionamento e consumo de potncia mxima. Como estas condies extremas apenas ocorrem em raras situaes os condensadores geralmente excedem bastante estas horas de funcionamento avaliadas. Como a maioria dos fabricantes de dispositivos electrnicos a SPAUN adquire as suas fontes de alimentao a partir de fornecedores terceiros. Afinal, uma empresa que tem uma produo de multi-switches no dever concentrar-se em fontes de alimentao, certo? Bem, se a orientao principal a qualidade e se fornecer uma garantia extensvel de 5 anos em todos os seus produtos, tem que estar concentrado em cada um dos componentes. Comeamos por exigir do nosso fornecedor a utilizao de apenas condensadores electrolticos de alta qualidade, Recorda Kevin Spaun. Mas no
final do dia, at mesmo este requisito no era o suficiente para garantir a qualidade exigida pela SPAUN. Para alm da qualidade e confiana, um fabricante premium tambm tem que olhar para a eficincia energtica, e sendo assim a SPAUN finalmente percebeu que as especificaes das fontes de alimentao de fabricantes de terceiros ficou to complexa e exigente que comeou a fazer sentido pensar numa produo prpria destes componentes. Os fabricantes independentes tm sempre que encontrar um equilbrio entre o custo dos componentes e qualidade dos componentes, a fim de oferecer um acordo de preos competitivos. Se, por outro lado, ns produzirmos tudo, temos todo o processo sob nosso controle e somos capazes de seleccionar cada um dos componentes para que o produto final atenda s nossas exigncias rigorosas. Esta a nica forma de alcanar a qualidade que pretendemos. Assim que esta deciso tinha sido tomada aconteceu tudo muito rpido: Foi fundada uma nova empresa SPAUN POWER GmbH e sendo assim foi criada uma sala de produo. Investimos cerca de 2 milhes de euros, explica Kevin Spaun e apresenta as novas instalaes de produo. A nova empresa foi insta69

lada e est em funcionamento h dois anos. Estamos em condies de produzir cerca de 500,000 unidades por ano de fontes de alimentao, e. Com este nmero de unidades somos capazes de equipar todos os nossos prprios produtos, mas tambm fornecer empresas terceiras. Como questo de facto, mais de 10% da produo anual so vendidos a outras empresas que chegaram concluso que a mudana para um maior custo inicial em fontes comutadas de alta-qualidade mais do que uma forma de compensar a longo prazo o prolongamento da vida til. Kevin Spaun explica o seu raciocnio: A qualidade vence sempre. Mesmo que parea a princpio inteligente do ponto de vista puramente financeiro a utilizao de componentes mais baratos, esse custo beneficia todos, mas desaparece quando os componentes falham aps um curto perodo. A escolha certa de produtos de alta qualidade acaba por ser uma deciso muito sbia. Isto de particular importncia para produtos que tm um ciclo de vida duradouro por muitos anos. Ns fornecemos os nossos produtos para sistemas de distribuio de sinal em hotis e grandes edifcios residenciais, e. Algumas destas lojas tm milhares de utilizadores e os equipamentos electrnicos tm que trabalhar de forma confivel durante anos ou mesmo dcadas, sem falhar. Uma empresa como a SPAUN apenas tem que cumprir esta meta de qualidade com produtos de alta qualidade. Para atingir este objectivo se as unidades de fornecimento de energia no estiverem disponveis no mercado, ento a SPAUN tem de resolver com o seu fabrico prprio. No entanto, a qualidade no o nico atributo que levou a SPAUN a ter o seu fabrico prprio de fontes de alimentao. As nossas fontes comutadas consomem at menos de 25% de energia que os componentes convencionais. Isto algo que no deve ser subestimado, tendo em ateno que de facto a maioria dos produtos SPAUN est sempre ligada a tempo inteiro e, por conseguinte, necessitam constantemente de energia elctrica. Afinal, um multi-switch ou um amplificador deve estar sempre ligado e disponvel. Penso que no ser necessrio dizer que anos que os multi-switches da SPAUN foram equipados com um modo de poupana de energia em modo standby, mas uma adicional poupana energtica em cerca de 30% um grande benefcio, at mesmo nestes casos. Francamente, as nossas novas fontes de alimentao pagam-se por sim mesmo, afirma Kevin Spaun e explica esta matemtica. A factura de electricidade dos usurios ser menor a cada ms e todas as nossas unidades de fornecimento de energia so projectados para levar qualquer tipo de tenso entre 100 e 240 V, por isso so universais, acrescenta focando o potencial dos produtos SPAUN em empresas fora da Europa. Actualmente a SPAUN POWER tem trs engenheiros altamenteespecializados e num futuro bem prximo, vai lanar uma srie de fontes comutadas
70
para fornecer energia em LEDs. Esperamos que seja o futuro de um mercado em crescimento significativo. Naturalmente, que tambm somos capaz de utilizar a nossa extensa experincia de desenvolvimento e fabricao de solues especficas para o cliente. As novas fontes comutadas consomem menos energia, mas tambm a utilizao de energia muito mais eficiente do que era antigamente. Estamos a pensar no factor de eficincia em mais de 90%, afirma Kevin Spaun com orgulho. Finalmente, Kevin Spaun lana uma luz sobre uma estratgia altamente vantajosa para prolongar a vida til das fontes de alimentao da SPAUN. Geralmente desenhamos as nossas fontes de alimentao para os nossos produtos para que consigam funcionar com aproximadamente 60% da capacidade. Ficando abaixo deste limiar reduz consideravelmente o risco de falha durante o uso permanente. A SPAUN aprendeu todos estes truques do comrcio durante as suas quatro dcadas como fabricante de topo de gama em produtos de alta-qualidade. A deciso de tambm ter a sua produo de fontes de alimentao um passo adicional para a total optimizao da cadeia de produo e no reforo de produtos com alta-qualidade e na confiana da empresa. ptimo ver que o foco estrito na qualidade conduz ao sucesso a longo prazo e gratificante ver que o foco central no preo, que parece ser to predominante nos dias de hoje, nem sempre o caminho para um sucesso duradouro.

O que uma Fonte Comutada?

Uma fonte comutada (SMPS - Switch-mode Power Supply) converte a tenso de alimentao AC (110-240V, 50/60 Hz) para uma baixa corrente contnua exigida por dispositivos electrnicos de todos os tipos (televisores, receptores de satlite, portteis, comutadores, etc.) A tenso DC fica estabilizada isto significa que ela no muda se ocorrer uma maior ou menor corrente a partir da SMPS. As fontes de alimentao antigas (chamadas fontes de potncia linear) requeriam um transformador grande e pesado, que convertia a tenso alta AC para uma tenso baixa AC bem como um transstor regulador com um dissipador de calor para estabilizar a tenso DC. A regulao da tenso DC num modo linear leva a perdas significativas de energia que gera um calor indesejado. Da a necessidade de um dissipador de calor. A SMPS converte primeiro a tenso da rede AC para a tenso DC e depois liga e desliga com a frequncia alta (50 kHz at 1 MHz) que produz uma forma de onda rectangular. Normalmente, o transformador tambm precisa, mas neste momento muito menor porque quanto maior a frequncia, menor ser o transformador que necessrio para assegurar. Deixa de ser necessrio o transstor regulador com um grande dissipador de calor porque a tenso regulada ao mudar a relao entre os estados on/off. Por isso a SMPS muito mais leve e compacta e tambm mais energicamente eficiente. Estas so as suas principais vantagens. Tambm mais complexa que o tradicional PSU linear. Apesar disso, as SMPS so usadas actualmente em quase todos os equipamentos electrnicos.
Processo de Produo das Unidades de Fonte de Alimentao da SPAUN POWER

1. Estes rolos tm componentes SMD. Cada rolo tem 5,000 componentes. 2. A pasta de soldar aplicada no circuito das placas. 3. A mquina SMD de insero coloca automaticamente os componentes SMD na posio correspondente do circuito da placa. Na imagem ainda podemos ver 10 painis de circuito interligados para a fonte de alimentao 40/25. Isto significa que so fabricadas em simultneo dez fontes de alimentao 4. ... E seguidamente so colocadas no forno para a soldadura final.

5. Os componentes maiores so adicionados manualmente no circuito da placa. Esta imagem mostra o ncleo de cada unidade de alimentao: o transformador. 6. A qualidade dos condensadores electrolticos usados determina a vida til de cada unidade da fonte de alimentao. SPAUN POWER apenas utiliza condensadores de alta-qualidade para conseguir garantir um servio de longa durao e da mesma forma tambm reduzir drasticamente falhas prematuras. 7. Os componentes grandes so montados nesta linha de montagem. A gerente de Produo Kornelia Kannwischer ( esquerda) supervisa os colegas e decide que tipo de fonte de alimentao deve ser fabricada. 8. Assim que todos os componentes estiverem montados as placas de circuito so colocadas neste dispositivo de soldagem por microondas que solda todos os componentes. O tcnico supervisor Claudio Saura verifica se o dispositivo de soldadura funciona perfeitamente. 9. Est pronto: as fontes de alimentao acabadas so armazenadas at que sejam necessrias para colocar num multi-switch ou em outros produtos. Os dispositivos encomendados so enviados para o seu destino para empresas de terceiros que pretendam beneficiar da qualidade SPAUN.

COMPANY REPORT
Satellite Distributor SMART INNOVATIONS, The Netherlands
The AZBox Champions from Holland

It really helps to not only have a good product but to also have a very ambitious sales team. A perfect example of this is the company Smart Innovations in northeastern Holland. The three owners of the company are very much involved with its operation and have helped make the AZBox receivers one of the top selling brands not only in The Netherlands but also in Belgium and Luxemburg. For these three countries, Smart Innovations has taken over distribution of the AZBox.
Zutphen (Amsterdam)
At the moment, Smart Innovations still resides

in one of the apartments in this house in the town of Zutphen in northeastern Holland. The move to a new ofce is coming very soon.
78
The three-man company currently resides in a residential area in the small town of Zutphen, not too far from Apeldoorn and roughly 100 km from Amsterdam. At the moment the warehouse is in the founders garage but this wont be the case much longer. The company will shortly move to a larger building which will include a warehouse. We found out how it all started from Herbert Verheijden; hes really the founder of Smart Innovations. I started the company in 2005, he explains to us. Hes been involved with satellite reception since 1995. My first receiver was the PACE 500 G4. Back then it was one of the first digital receivers available, he remembers. His first satellite dish was 80cm in diameter. He is a software engineer by trade and thus was especially interested in digital signal modulation technology. Via the Internet it didnt take long for him to find people with similar interests with which he could exchange ideas. We still use the www.sat4all.com Satellite Bulletin Board today to communicate with our customers, explains Herbert Verheijden. He met Andr Pelgrim
through this satellite board and found out that he didnt live all too far away from him and was therefore able to meet up with him in person on many occasions. Over the years the two of them worked closer and closer together. The third member of the team is Rinus Lindoorn. Hes the founder and chairman of the De Transponder satellite club which provides extensive information for satellite enthusiasts via its web site www.detransponder.nl. In 2007 the three of them became equal partners in Smart Innovations with each owning exactly one third of the company. Their jobs are all very clearly defined: Herbert Verheijden is responsible for the companys vision, Andre Pelgrim handles the technical side of operations while Rinus Lindoorn watches over the small companys finances. All three of them have a dedication to satellite technology and above all the AZBox. Herbert Verheijden explains how the connection to the AZBox came about: We met Hugo Condessa, the head of
AZBox, at ANGA 2005 and learned about his products. We recognized right away that his boxes were ideal for our market because of its quality and price. The Smart Innovations team immediately began translating the receiver manuals, receiver menus and promotional materials into Dutch. We also started our own support forum at www.azbox.nl, adds Herbert Verheijden. The start of the company didnt go all too smoothly at first: In our first year 2007 we managed to sell only 500 receivers and our second year 2008 wasnt much better, explains Rinus Lindoorn, responsible for the financial side of things. The three agree that the main reason for this weak beginning was that AZBox only offered SD receivers at the time. In 2009 however, sales increased dramatically: In 2009 we sold 1400 high definition receivers and in 2010 we expect that number to climb to 3000, Rinus Lindoorn says confidently. The increase in sales is also due to some other factors. Rinus Lindoorn regularly visits the dealers in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg to highlight the advantages of the AZBox:
The smart idea from Smart Innovations: they are working on a box to convert Infrared to Bluetooth.
This would make it possible to control the AZBox and a state-of-the-art TV system from a single remote control.

antennas with a total of 31 LNBs plus one LNB on a rotary dish. As it turned out, the AZBox had a software bug in its DiSEqC control that allowed the receiver to access 30 LNBs without any problems, just not the last 2 LNBs. They would never have found out about unique problems such as this if they didnt make themselves available to answer everyones questions. At the moment Smart Innovations wholesale dealer network is made up of 25 active dealers in The Netherlands, ve in Belgium and one in Luxembourg. We want to know what sales are like for the individual AZBox receiver models; Rinus Lindoorn looks at his books and says: The AZBox Premium Plus makes up 50% of our sales, the Premium model accounts for 30% while the Elite box makes up for 20%. Those are all high denition models. The actual tuner selection is rather interesting: 60% of AZBox receivers are delivered with satellite tuners, 30% come with combination satellite and cable tuners and the remaining 10% are strictly cable boxes. We noticed that terrestrial tuners are not in the mix at all. Rinus Lindoorn conrms, Theres hardly any demand for terrestrial reception in Holland. When the subject turned to the future, Andr Pelgrim nally had the opportunity to present a surprisingly new idea: The AZBox is the only receiver with a real 1080-line picture and therefore is the perfect match for top-of-the-line TVs. What conclusion can be drawn from this? One of the absolute best brand names available is, for example, Bang & Olufsen. But when you check out the remote control, you nd out that it operates via Bluetooth while the AZBox works with Infrared. The trio has thus come up with an interesting idea: and that would be to work with a supplier of converters on a box that could convert Infrared to Bluetooth. In this way were trying to make the AZBox recognizable with high-end TVs. Smart Innovations is making quite a name for itself. All three business partners are satellite enthusiasts who are intimately familiar with the AZBoxs every detail. They keep coming up with new ideas to make the AZBox even more popular. With such a dedicated sales team AZBox should continue to move upward in the marketplace!
Rinus Lindoorn is responsible Andr Pelgrim is

responsible for the technical side of things. for the nancial side of Smart Innovations.
I visit roughly 30 rms every year, he explains. The other two colleagues dont sit idly around either; they are actively promoting the AZBox in satellite forums as well as in their own support forum. We quickly answer every question we receive, comments Herbert Verheijden adding that the customer is never alone. The three of them actually enjoy answering questions. We are regularly surprised ourselves! For example, recently a customer told us that he has 32 LNBs but could only access 30 of them. A satellite viewer with 32 LNBs? That was new to them. Sure enough, satellite enthusiast Gerard van den Braak in Eindhoven has two multifocus

Satellite Footprints
Satbeams A Website for Professionals
Alexander Derjugin has set some lofty goals for himself. He is the founder and operator of the satbeams.com website the main purpose of which is to reach the professionals. Thats a rather ambitious goal so we wanted to find out from him personally how he intends to reach it. We met up with him in Brussels, Belgium, the city he calls home.
First we wanted to know how satellite reception came into his life. He explains, Im originally from Moscow. I worked there as an IT manager for a big Fast Moving Consumer Goods company. The company transferred me with my family to their European headquarters in Brussels back in 2001. There Alexander Derjugin started to work as an IT consultant in the area of web infrastructure. In 2003 his department was outsourced to another big international company providing global IT services he continues to work as a Managed Web Service consultant. Working in another country is a big challenge and it was very important for Alexander to setup his first satellite dish to receive Russian programs! If we couldnt receive Russian TV, my wife would be very upset and we would just pack and go back to Moscow, jokes Alexander Derjugin. As it turns out, he has his wife to thank for getting his start
Alexander Derjugin, founder and operator of
the satbeams website. In the lobby of a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, he uses his laptop to explain the functionality of satbeams.com.
in satellite reception. My first satellite system consisted of an 80cm antenna that I used back then to receive SIRIUS at 4.8 east and HOTBIRD at 13 east, he explains. Not long after that, he expanded his system to 100cm. Meanwhile, Alexander Derjugin wanted to learn more about this mysterious technology. As his colleagues and friends also learned of his interest they began asking him more and more questions related to satellite reception. One thing led to another and he eventually became a satellite specialist. As Alexander worked most of the time with web technologies, he one day came across the idea to combine satellite footprints with Google Maps. That was back
charts by any eld like language or band. All of the data is linked together and you can reach almost any information with just 2-3 clicks of the mouse. Alexander is constantly thinking about how he can make his website even more user-friendly. But above all I want to reach out to professionals and implement additional features that would be useful for them. For example satellite providers would be interested to know if their footprint overlaps with footprints of other satellites. So Alexander is thinking of the best way to overlay multiple footprints on the worlds map which would make it easy to see what satellites cover the same area. He sees the future of Satbeams with specialised applications. Interested companies could license the footprint data from me, says Alexander Derjugin, with the monthly licensing fee the footprint updates are locked in. What kind of companies could use his services? First and foremost would be Internet-via-Satellite providers, comments Alexander Derjugin, Satbeams rst customers came from this sector. The footprint data would also be interesting for uplink stations, for satellite providers and also for SNG operators who need to nd the proper footprint for their VSAT systems. Alexander Derjugin discovered an interesting market segment with Satbeams. A website geared specically towards the satellite professionals seems to be a very good idea!
An example from the satbeams.com website: the footprint of EUROBIRD 9A is projected online
onto Google Maps. You can zoom into and out of the map with the footprints matching each individual map. Satbeams has created an electronic version of the footprint of every satellite. Professional users can license the data and then use the data on their own website.
in 2006 and after few months of hesitation he decided to implement this idea. In the Fall of 2007 I contracted several talented programmers who helped me develop the necessary software as well as electronically convert the satellite footprints, he explains. In the middle of 2008 the web site went online with its rst version. Initially, Alexander wanted to use the domain name satcoverage but a friend suggested that satbeams would be better. That name is short, easy to remember and gets right to the point, he says. At rst Alexander Derjugin wanted to gear his website more
towards satellite DXers, in other words towards hobbyists. He implemented the solution that satellite DXers could click on their location via Google Maps and then enter in realistic reception results. But he wasnt satised with the results and decided to redesign the website. In July 2009 the new version of Satbeams went live. Now almost every satellite footprint from around the world was digitized and could be projected onto Google Maps. Dozens of volunteers help me keep all of the satellite data up-to-date, he says. So in addition to satellite technical details and footprints all of the associated transponder data is also displayed. Now hes in the process of making his website more user-friendly. I am focused on usability to improve the user experience, he explains, you can search by channel name or your address and lter the
Brussels
This is what the home of Alexander Derjugin looks like. A Channelmaster 120cm antenna with a C-band and Ku-band LNB can be seen all the way to
the left. This antenna is motorized and can be moved from 57 east to 45 west. A T90 multisatellite antenna is in the center and sports eight LNBs for reception of satellites from 4.8 east to 53 east and all the way to the right is a 125cm antenna for 40 east reception.
DXer REPORT
Satellite DXer Pepsi from Chengdu, China
Pepsis Dishes
Satellite DXers are a rather new species in China. One of the select few is Pepsi in the city of Mengyang of Sichuan province in south-western China. Why would anybody choose the nickname Pepsi, you may ask? Well, thats not difcult to guess: Pepsi used to work for the company by the same name.
Where does the DXer live? Easy to guess, its
the building on which antennas can even be seen from the street below. Pepsis apartment is in this mixed residential and business block, because here he can freely install antennas on the roof.
He has since moved on and now holds a technicians positions at a local packaging company, even though he still sticks to his nickname. We meet Pepsi for lunch at a typical restaurant in his hometown and he tells us how it all began: I started out in 2004 with a 1.5 m dish which I used to pick up signals from ASIASAT 3 at 105.5 East. It was technology rather than content that got him hooked on this hobby. I hardly ever watch TV, Pepsi admits, its rather the challenge of trying to receive even more satellites that keeps me going. This enthusiasm led to an increasing number of satellite dishes over the years. Next to several small dishes with diameters ranging from 45 to 90 cm Pepsi also uses 1.8 and 2.4 m antennas. With great expectations and anticipation we take the trip to Pepsis place in a residential area of the city of Mengyang, some 40 km north of the capital of Sichuan province. Pepsis apartment is located on the second oor of the building and it becomes evident right upon entering that watching TV is not exactly Pepsis favourite pastime. Only one TV set can be seen in the living room, but a total of six receivers. Pepsi loves the technical aspects of satellite television, yet could hardly care less about what kind of content is transmitted. All of his antennas are mounted on the roof of the buildings staircase. Here they dont get in the way of anybody, and nobody gets in my way, Pepsi explains. As a matter of fact, he purposely moved into this area so that he would be able to pursuit his hobby without restrictions. Where I used to live before it was not possible to install large antennas, says Pepsi. It was my hobby that made me move to Mengyang. Talk about commitment! Pepsi even spends his spare time helping other people install their satellite dishes and he has become a well-established satellite expert even beyond his city. Eventually, his hobby might turn into his profession one day. I am currently working on larger projects too, which involve supplying several apartments

MUSEUM REPORT
Radiomuseum Ringsted, Denmark
A Satellite Experts Museum

Alexander Wiese
Over the course of many years satellite expert Bjarne Nielsen has worked up his reputation as Denmarks Mr. Satellite. In retirement now, he has found a new passion in his position as organiser of and driving force behind the Radiomuseum in the small town of Ringsted, not far from the Danish capital Copenhagen. In a TELE-satellite exclusive Bjarne Nielsen opens the museum doors and recalls major events that shaped his life.
Lets start with a remarkable fact: For 15 years Bjarne Nielsen was the publisher and editor-in-chief of Denmarks rst and only satellite-related magazine, with the last issue having appeared in the year 2005. I published a total of 165 issues, Bjarne Nielsen recalls. Each magazine issue featured a test report and a company report, as well as an up-to-date frequency chart. A peak circulation of 4000 was printed in 2000 in the heyday of Bjarnes magazine, but towards 2005 this number had declined to 1400 copies. At the same time the Danish postal service decided to increase postage fees with the result that the whole magazine operation had become uneconomical. What made Bjarne Nielsen create and publish a satellite magazine in the rst place? In 1966 he had began to work as a teacher at the Ringsted technical vocational school, covering the elds of TV and radio engineering well... what else? One of his students made a career as service manager for Swedish company LUXOR in Motala, which in 1980 was in the process of developing its rst satellite receiver. At the time, satellite receivers usually came from the United States. Bjarne Nielsen managed to obtain satellite reception equipment from LUXOR and in 1982 I was able for the very rst time to watch satellite television thanks to a 2-metre dish, he remembers. I picked up Russian
Ringsted (Copenhagen)
TV from GORIZONT, transmitted in the 4 GHz range. Half a year later LUXOR invited him to its Motala headquarters and it was there that Bjarne Nielsen was able to see signals from OTS, the rst European broadcasting satellite, with the help of a huge 3-metre antenna. All his efforts were focused on setting up a dish of his own and by the end of 1983 a 1.8-metre antenna had become an addition to his house to receivee CS1 at 13 east. In case youre still in doubt, were dealing with a serious case of satellite virus infection here, and in his role as a vocational teacher
Three museums in a row in the Danish town of Ringsted:

the Radiomuseum (centre), the mill museum (behind) and Ringsted local museum (right). Bjarne Nielsen runs the Radiomuseum.
Bjarne Nielsen took his chances and raised his students interest for this new technology as well. However, it didnt stop there. Danish companies dealing with satellite products were quick to see the potential of this dedicated teacher and asked him to organise technical seminars for engineers and installers. In 1984 and 1985 I held lots of 3-day seminars to teach more than 1000 professional installers how to set up satellite antennas, Bjarne Nielsen proudly states. His school supported these activities as well, as they were counted as part of the teaching process. This eventually led to the establishment of a satellite magazine in 1990. My school was the official publisher and I was only the editor, he recalls laughingly because nonetheless, all of his free time was put into the magazine.
We even went so far as to stage our own satellite fair at the school, he adds. It took place in 1990 and we were proud to showcase virtually all Danish satellite companies. The fair was repeated one more time, but as it was only successful from a technical point of view rather than from a financial aspect, it unfortunately had to be stopped after only two events. Lets move on to an altogether different stage now and find out what in the world made Bjarne Nielsen run his own museum? By my very nature as a teacher I was in touch with hundreds of young people, all of whom knew that I collected old TV and radio sets. Time and again they would come to school with a disused device, and I was all the more happy for it. In all those years he never had to actually buy a radio or TV, each single one was donated. In 1998 Bjarne Nielsen came up with the idea of displaying all those marvellous wonders of technology in a dedicated museum, and in 2000 he was able to make that dream a reality. The Radiomuseum Ringsted was ready to open its doors! The building hosting the museum was made available by the municipality of Ringsted and lots of locals offered a helping hand to adapt the place for its new use as a museum.
1. Celebrating 110 years: An EDISON phonograph dating back to the year 1900 is one of the collections highlights. This system uses a wax cylinder to record sound. 2. As early as 1936 company AEG invented a tape recorder. The Radiomuseum features a unit that was manufactured in 1938. 3. The BEOCORD from the year 1948 used steel wire rather than magnetic tape to record voices. 2.2 km of steel wire are wound up on a single roll. The wire is led through the device with a speed of 50 cm per second, which means 2.2 km of wire provide a recording time of one hour, Bjarne Nielsen explains. By the way, Danish inventor Valdemar Poulson had this system patented in 1898. At the time, however, the available technology was not ready for real-world implementation. For this you need amplifying which became available only with the invention of tubes.
With a microphone from 1942
(the year of birth of Bjarne) it feels like time travel. Thats the way the pop stars of the time sang their songs on stage.
Some 500 items are on display here, Bjarne Nielsen explains and directs our attention to a breathtaking range of TV and radio sets. But the real surprise is yet to come: What you can see here is just 10% of what I have collected a total of 5000 items are stored in a repository. Now this is quite a revelation where could Bjarne Nielsen possibly store so many items? Were wasting our breath here: In my old school, from which I retired five years ago. Much of the basement there is used up by my TVs and radios, he says and smiles. Indeed, Bjarne Nielsen has collected an almost unbelievable range of different apparatus, and what makes his collection even more unique is the unexpected number of products made by Danish companies. These days only few people are aware that Denmark used to boast a significant TV and radio industry in the past, because today hardly any of these companies are still in business. Enthusiasm and commitment dont diminish with age, and Bjarne Nielsen is perfect proof of that. He has even started to publish a new magazine, only that this time it deals with historic TV and radio sets. Some may think of anybody with such a passion for old technology as an idiot, and Bjarne Nielsen happily picked up this notion for the title of his magazine. While he could not quite get himself to call it radio idiots, he went for Radioten instead. A community of radiots is in the making and Bjarne Nielsen gets together with like-minded enthusiasts on a regular basis to restore old devices. With a well of personal knowledge and expertise available with his co-collectors and with the help of measurement devices from all times, the results of such restorations are nothing short of impressive. One of the unique aspects of the Radiomuseum is its technical capability to copy
1. This portable radio is impressive proof of the state of technology 75 years ago. It was produced in 1935 and had to do without transistors and microchips of any kind. 2. Danish company RUHE produced this TV set (right) in the year 1950. In 1949 first test broadcasts were transmitted from Copenhagen and these sets were made specifically for receiving these signals. The official launch of TV in Denmark took place in 1951, Bjarne Nielsen tells us. And what has seemingly fallen out of the TV to the left? Thats the remote control, he replies. What today is a standard feature for home entertainment devices was a genuine sensation at the time. Of course a remote control in the 1950s was not wireless but rather attached to the main set with a long cable, yet even an early model such as that came with two buttons. One might wonder what the remote control was used for back then. Surely it was for switching channels, right? Are you kidding? Bjarne answers. There was only one channel available in the first years of television. One button was for adjusting volume, the other for brightness. In a time and age with virtually thousands of satellite channels at your fingertips isnt it hard to imagine a time when you had no choice at all?
old video and audio tapes and save them on present-day storage media. We have at hand video recorders for all systems that have ever been on the market, and naturally we keep theses systems operational at all times. Even ancient steel tapes can be played back which comes as a genuine surprise. Steel tape was the predecessor of magnetic tape and was used in the 1940s and 1950s. Time and again audio and video tapes from decades ago pop up and the Radiomuseum is the place to go for playing back or copying their often valuable content. This can be particularly interesting if the tapes include recordings of company assemblies, for instance, and in some cases such historic content may even have legal ramications. In cases like this the Radiomuseum even bridges an existing market gap, as there are hardly any ofcial institutions that keep age-old technology up and running the way Bjarne Nielsen does. In a time and age in which modern satellite receivers are discarded after only a few years of use only to be replaced with yet another new device, a visit to the Radiomuseum in Ringsted is a step back in time. Modern technology is put in perspective when you wander past a sheer endless number of old devices, some of which still working after 100 years if maintained and serviced properly. Bjarne Nielsen and his helpers denitely know how to do just that. His Radiomuseum is well worth a visit. More information: www.rfr.dk
1. Bjarne Nielsen uses the museums basement to keep all types of video recorders up and running. All systems are perfectly maintained and can be used at the touch of a button. Bring us any kind of old video recording and well be able to copy the content on DVD, he proudly says. 2. A rare sight: Bjarne Nielsens fully functional steel tape recorder is a genuine marvel. Even today it can be used to play back steel tape rolls that are 50 years old (like the one he holds in his hands), and to copy them onto present-day storage media. 3. The basement of the vocational school he used to teach at is a maze that serves as storage area for the Ringsted Radiomuseum. Close to 5000 radio and TV sets stand side by side, including the rst HDTV set made in Europe, which used the D2-MAC standard at the time. While this transmission standard is long gone, the TV set remains a reminder of technical innovation in days gone by. 4. Of course, old satellite technology is a given for Bjarne Nielsen too. Here he is seen next to an old presentation antenna made by TRIAX, with the TRIASAT 2000 analogue receiver from 1990 in his hand.

It will have a launch mass of approximately ve tons and will produce nearly 14-kW of power at end of life.
Malaysian billionaire Ananda Krishnan announced plans to buy out satellite operator Measat Global Bhd. for US$ 207 million to secure full control of the company. The Star newspaper said Krishnans decision to take Measat Global Bhd. private was made after considering the huge capital that needs to be ploughed into Measat... estimated at some US$ 1 billion over the course of the next two or three years.
AFRICA
WORLDSPACE COULD RELAUNCH
WorldSpace plans to relaunch its services in South Africa if a bid by former chairman Noah Samara to buy the company is approved, according to local daily Business Day. WorldSpace, whose satellite radio service was available in Europe, Africa and Asia, led for bankruptcy protection in 2008 after repeated failures to meet debt obligations.

SAMSUNG DSR 9000 FTA
In the search for a digital FTA receiver that is loaded with features but is easy to use, the TELE-satellite International test group stumbled onto the SAMSUNG DSR9000 FTA. One of the requirements of this search was the automatic downloading of software updates via satellite. Receiver software is constantly being improved or updated and not every digital receiver owner has the ability to use a PC to upgrade the receivers software via the serial interface. Samsungs receivers are distributed worldwide and thus software upgrades are made available through various satellites around the world. In central Europe, the ASTRA satellite at 19.2 East can be used for this service. The silver colored chassis and the overall design of this receiver gives the impression that this is an expensive box. The four-digit display shows one of the 2000 possible channels and it can easily be seen even in bright sunlight. A round ring-button lets you change channels and adjust the volume without having to use the remote control. The backside of the box is also nicely laid out. The IF signal is looped-through allowing an additional receiver (analog) to be connected. Two Scart connectors let you connect the box to a TV and a VCR. Audio and video outputs are also available via three RCA jacks. These could be used to connect additional equipment such as a TV projector. The serial interface can be used to upload new software into the receiver if for some reason it were not possible to do this via satellite. Terrestrial antenna signals are also looped-through and the onboard modulator (PAL B/G, I, K in our test model) operates in the entire UHF range. The remote control sits comfortably in your hand with all functions clearly marked thus reducing the likelihood of pressing the wrong button. The rst thing the receiver will do after it has been properly set up and congured for the existing antenna will be to look for new software. If a new update is available, it will just take a few minutes to complete the download. The actual installation of the receiver is extremely simple. It must be pointed out that - aside from the easy-to-understand menus - this receiver also has excellent graphics in its On-Screen display. As a worldwide receiver, the DSR9000 FTA offers six different languages for its menus, EPG and soundtrack. If you happen to be using a Solarsat antenna (test report in TELE-satellite International 10-11/2000), you will nd a special calculation program in the menu. After the antenna and LNB parameters are stored, the active satellites can simply be selected. The integrated DiSEqC 1.2 allows the use of more than one LNB or can be used to drive an appropriate motor. The automatic search function scans all of the

desired satellites (up to 16) in one shot. Only about seven minutes was needed for the Scan function to handle 80 transponders. If necessary the PIDs for video, audio and PCR can be manually entered. Its even possible to connect the receiver to a SMATV system. Once programmed, specic channels can be stored in three different priority lists. Considering that this is a digital receiver, switching between channels is actually quite fast, on average about 1/2 second. Unfortunately, this still does not make for very good Zapping, but even if you were to try, you wouldnt have to worry about any unexpected system hang-ups. In our tests, critical C-Band signals (1.9 Ms/ sec) were easily handled without any loss of signal even though, according to the manufacturer, the box can handle 2-45 Ms/sec. The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is very nicely laid out. Here you can display current and future programming information. When switching between channels, a small transparent program information bar appears near the bottom of the screen providing channel name and current program data. A simple push of a button selects the proper soundtrack. The DSR9000 FTA is also Teletext compatible. Switching over to radio mode can
easily be done with the remote control. Program information will then appear on the screen and will also include an attractive background. The EPG can also be accessed in this mode. Unfortunately, the DSR9000 FTA does not have a digital audio output. While we were conducting our tests, new software version 105 became available and was uploaded into the box via satellite. Several bugs that were in version 100 were xed and there were also obvious improvements with Skyplex signal reception. With the DSR9000 FTA, Samsung has developed a truly user-friendly and easy-to-use receiver that is an excellent choice for anyone not interested in receiving Pay TV signals. Clean graphics and menus that are self-explanatory leave behind a lasting favorable impression. Once the box was upgraded to version 105, there were no more lock-ups. Switching channels was better than average and the automatic scan function works quite fast. The receiver comes with a comprehensive user manual. If it were up to us, we would have liked to see a digital audio output and perhaps even a third Scart connector. The good local service provided by the regional importer is also a plus worth mentioning.
MediaCom FTA-Gold
In our unceasing hunt for an easy-to-use free-toair (FTA) receiver with sufficient channel memory, C- and Ku-band compatibility, single and multi channel per carrier (SCPC/MCPC) capability and the ability to control a mechanical C/Ku polarizer, we came across the MediaCom FTA Gold. Free-to-air means that we need not waste any time looking for some CI module slots to allow the reception of PAY-TV. The dark and stylish front panel includes a light green display showing the selected channel number. The FTA Gold has more than sufficient storage capacity with a 3000 channel memory for TV and an additional 2000 channel memory for digital satellite radio. Six unpretentious keys allow operating the receiver without the remote. On the back panel the first feature that catches the attention are the quick-clamps for connecting a mechanical polarizer. This is very important for combined C and Ku-band reception. The receiver also allows for the standard configuration with 13/17 Volt switching of the polarization angles The IF from the antenna can be looped through and thus made available to an additional receiver. Unfortunately the two-scart solution seems to have won over most manufacturers of digital satellite receivers, including MediaCom for the FTA Gold. Analog stereo is output from two RCA connections and an additional connection delivers the video signal. A programmable 0/12 Volt output is available for external switches. The serial interface is designed to permit upgrading the operating software, but it could just as well be used to copy the SatcoDX channel information into the box. Unfortunately the receiver we tested was not yet SatcoDX compatible. A terrestrial TV signal is looped through and an UHF modulator can be tuned over the complete UHF range. All PAL modes and NTSC are supported. The remote control deserves special praise. The buttons are clearly labelled and the layout is very logical. With a touch of a button the screen image can be frozen which is a useful feature. First of all the language of the on-screen display (OSD) menu can be selected from five available languages, including Arabic. The OSD can be changed into transparent mode in five steps and the time-outs for the graphics can be individually set. The brightness of the video is also adjustable in five steps. The FTA Gold is pre-set for almost all satellites around the world. All that is left to do is set up the local oscillator frequencies (LOF) for one or several LNBs. Ten sets of values are already stored in the software but of course the parameters can also be freely selected. The various LNBs and the corresponding dish motor are controlled with DiSEqC 1.2. The search function can be performed either in normal mode (to find all signals) or in FTA mode, where only clear or unencrypted signals will be found. After the initial scan, any time later you can use the update function to scan all transponders for new signals without overwriting pre-existing
and unchanged channels. The receiver takes eight minutes to search an 80-transponder satellite. The graphic design of the search menu is particularly good. Individual transponders can be searched for channels using the manual search mode. It is also possible to key in the PID parameters manually. After a complete scan there are usually some channels to be deleted, moved or added to the favourite list. It is also possible to lock certain channels. The editing menu displays the channel being edited in a small window on the screen and lists all technical specifications at the same time. All these features are very easy to use. In addition, there is an on-screen keyboard which can be used to name and rename the channels. Of course the same facility is available for all radio stations that have been found in the search. Once the receiver is set up and programmed, switching between channels takes 1.2 seconds, which is not very fast. It has to be mentioned in that context, however, that some delays are caused by the broadcaster having changed the packet information data (PID). This means that the receiver has to detect the correct parameters first from the data stream. When changing channels the most significant data about the channel (if provided) and the time are on shown screen for a few seconds. The FEC, polarization and PID data are also shown. Certain channels can be added to the favourites list and can then be accessed quickly by pressing a corresponding button on the remote. There is a sleep mode, which can set to shut down the receiver after a period of time for all those day or night couch potatoes. The MediaCom FTA Gold deserves our Global Approval without any qualifications. Features like mechanical polarizer control, SCPC compatibility, global satellite memory and C/Ku-band reception make it a really universal box. At the same time it is easy to use and has a very well designed on-screen menu plus online help. It is an ideal FTA receiver for the whole family because everybody will be able to use it. The handbook explains all steps of the installation and operation in an easy-to-understand way. During the extended testing there were no system crashes. Unfortunately this is still not always the case when talking about digital receivers.

HISTORY
The modulator operates in all the different PAL formats across the entire UHF range. In NTSC mode, the modulator switches over to channel 3 or 4. The serial interface allows new software and updated program data (SatcoDX compatibility coming soon) to be uploaded. When the box is first placed into service, you will be prompted to select a language to be used for the On-Screen display (OSD) and the audio sub-carrier. From English to German, Farsi, Arabic and even Russian, most of the important languages are available. An extra special feature is the integrated PAL/ NTSC converter. Depending on the TV being used, PAL, NTSC or AUTO can be selected. The colors of the OSD can be set for two individual users. The European version of this receiver is pre-programmed with 13 satellites with room for 10 more. up to block specific programs from a particular age group. In our test, a 12 year old managed to find his way to an inappropriate channel in just four minutes. The Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from ATM is a solid, easy-to-use family receiver able to receive free (FTA) and Pay TV (all known CI systems) signals. But this box even has something to offer to more knowledgeable users with its manual PID entry and its symbolrate automation. It is a little weak at the knees with its 1000 channels; a little more would have been better. The user-manual serves as an excellent guide during the installation and using it on a daily basis is nothing more than childs play. Thanks to the regional pre-programming, the NTSC/PAL selection, the language choices and the universal power supply, the DSR-301CI is truly useable worldwide.
AMT Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI
The situation with channel scanning in the satellite TV world is not entirely unknown: you have the frequency, but all the other data is missing. The FEC and Symbolrate values are not always available in the charts, especially when it involves a brand new feed-signal. Even the best satellite receiver doesnt provide much help here. The only solution would seem to be a receivers Band-Scan function. Unfortunately, this isnt all that much fun, since this type of scan could take the entire night and by then that feed has already disappeared. But with the new Sat Cruiser DSR-301CI from AMT, search technology has taken a giant step forward. In a special menu, all you need to do is enter the frequency of the signal - nothing else is needed.
After only a few minutes all possible symbolrates have been scanned and even the FEC values are under control. The result is a new, unlisted channel. This is an important feature that deserved to be highlighted right from the start. This receiver is designed to be used as an FTA/CI unit. With the right CI module and appropriate card, this box can be used for Pay TV reception. Otherwise, it will work just fine as an FTA receiver. One drawback: only a meager 1000 channels are available. Since this box is DiSEqC compatible, multiple LNBs or antennas can be connected. It wont be long before you run out of memory space. The nicely shaped, silver-colored cabinet has two flaps on the front panel that hide the CI slots and the auxiliary control buttons. These buttons can be used to program the box if the remote control decides it doesnt want to play anymore. The green four-digit display shows the current channel. The backside of the unit is fitted with all the usual standard equipment. The IF is looped-through and two Scart connectors together with three RCA jacks link the receiver to external audio/video equipment. A fourth RCA jack provides the controlled 0/12 volt output.
The LNBs are matched with the proper local oscillator frequencies (LOFs). The receivers menu has the universal and standard values already pre-programmed into the box. Other LOF values can be manually entered. The subsequent scan of an 80-transponder system lasted only seven minutes. The scan can be set up to search for FTA-only or All channels. Individual transponders can likewise be activated. If it becomes necessary to enter in PID data manually, a corresponding menu is available. At this point the enormously helpful automatic symbolrate search function is certainly worth mentioning again. The Sat Cruiser accepts symbolrates anywhere between 2 and 45 Ms/sec and was even able to work with a 1.8 Ms/sec signal (SCPC) with no difficulty. The DSR-301CI is packed with a very powerful editing function. Programs can be quickly and easily moved, deleted or even temporarily blocked. Priority channels can be quickly stored in a special list. An integrated typewriter lets you add names to stored channels and satellites. With a 0.7 second channel switching time, this receiver is one of the faster ones. Holding down the channel selection button does not seem to bother the Sat Cruiser as it does not seek revenge by locking-up on you. To prevent the DSR-301CI from being improperly used by the younger generation, the box can be set
ATTISAT Satellite Systems
In 1997 satellite communication specialists and investors met in Athens. One side brought with them a concept and the other brought the necessary solutions to make the project a reality. The goal was the design, the production and the distribution of a flat antenna. At first this doesnt sound like anything special since similar antennas already exist on the market. What appeals to the investors is the plan to create a product independant of subcontractors. Likewise with manufacturing technology, they also wanted to go there own way. Almost every production machine and test station should be their own design. This is a further step towards independance. With the product came the thought that the antenna should not be re-invented, instead it should stand out from the rest of the field through first class quality and design flexibility induced by customer suggestions. The flat antennas that are currently available have problems with both their life-expectancy - they are not always weather-proof - and with uniform gain across the entire Ku-Band. Specialists and Investors joined forces and the result was the formation of the internationally reknowned company ATTISAT Satellite Systems. They are strategically located between the city center and the airport in Athens where the Flat antenna is produced. Over three years have passed since this company was formed. Their antenna has gained recognition in the market and the plan is to ramp up production to about 200,000 per year. The investors, who have thus far contributed nearly 1,000,000 Euros to this effort, have not regretted their decision. In a modern building, the FL 500 is manually assembled using a cleverly designed system. Through the use of special markings on each piece, mistakes
have been virtually eliminated. At the end of the production line, every antenna must undergo a thorough test. Various satellites from around the world can be simulated with signal generators. If an antenna does not perform as expected, it is removed, dismantled and analysed to determine why so that the same fault does not occur again in the future. Team spirit among the employees is a major reason why they can ship a quality product. None of them have an 8 to 5 job, instead, the hours they work
are based on the daily requirments. Delivery problems have been for the most part eliminated. ATTISAT is also involved in the developement of V-Sat systems, the manufacture of microwave devices and the developement and production of RX/TX outdoor systems for Internet/Multimedia via satellite. They also have their own R&D (Research and Development) department whose function is to handle developement contracts from customers in the Satcom industry.
