NetUP Dual DVB-S2-CI

Professional high-density DVB-S/DVB-S2 PCI-e card

Overview

The NetUP Dual DVB-S2-CI is a professional DVB-S/DVB-S2 PCI-e card designed for high-density appliances such as DVB-IP gateways, home theaters, satellite Internet systems, etc. In contrast to standard DVB-S cards NetUP's Dual DVB-S2-CI provides fourfold density - two DVB-S/S2 receivers and two Common Interface (CI) slots occupy only one PCI-e slot. The high density allows saving space on installation and using the card for satellite signal reception in confined environments. For example, a standard 1U rack-mount server with two PCI-e slots can receive and fully decode 4 satellite transponders, such as NetUP's IPTV Combine 4x or DVB-IP gateway 4x.

Features

• two DVB-S/DVB-S2 inputs – simultaneous reception of two DVB-S/DVB-S2 transponders;
• two CI slots – independent descrambling of two transponders;
• support of any professional CA modules (e.g., PowerCAM Pro, Aston Pro Solutions, etc.);
• PCE-e x1;
• DiSEqC 2.x;
• drivers for Linux OS.
