New V-series RF
Matrix On Display at CommunicAsia 2013
ETL is showcasing its new addition to the
V-series at
CommunicAsia and will be demonstrated
on the booth for the
first time in Asia. The product
family, designed and built at ETL’s base in
the UK, includes the
128x128 Vulcan Matrix Router, the
64x64 Vortex Matrix
Router, the NEW
16x32 Valiant Matrix and
the 16x16 Victor Matrix. All are capable of
remote control via serial or Ethernet port
with SNMP and web browser interface.
V-Series Demo Units
Shown At CommunicAsia:
64x64 Vortex Matrix – Model VTX-10 – The
Vortex is a high performance solution for
frequent signal routing changes and designed
for busy teleports and
master control
rooms (MCR) where rack
space is in short
supply. With 64x64
inputs and outputs,
it is able to work as a distributive switch
matrix or router for downlinking L-band
signals or combining multiple technologies
into one product.
16x32 Valiant Matrix – Model VLT-10 – The
Valiant is ideal for smaller broadcast and
satellite ground stations, providing the
flexibility of dependable RF Routing. It is
perfect
for use by teleports
with limited rack space for occasional use
satcom traffic. The Valiant has
recently been delivered for use in compact
marine applications.
16x16 Victor Matrix – Model VTR-10 – The
Victor is designed for television
receive-only (TVRO), smaller teleports and
satellite ground stations, providing the
flexibility of RF routing. The matrix
can be used for L-band, IF, and broadband
applications.
Other Demo Units
Shown:
Dual Redundant Amplifier – Model 2570
– Also on display for
the first time at CommunicAsia
is ETL’s dual redundant amplifier unit which
is typically used in the front end of the RF
chain, providing cable loss for teleports,
TVRO and head-ends. This amplifier unit
contains dual redundant hot-swap L-band
variable gain amplifier modules and is
housed in a compact 1U high 19” rack-mountable
shelf. It operates over the 850-2150MHz
frequency range, with up to 36dB gain and up
to 8dB positive slope compensation.
2x1 Redundancy Switch – Model 23206
– This new redundancy
switch may be used to provide redundancy for
a main feed in the event of failure.
It includes a modem alarm input for
automatic switching and operates in the
extended L-band (850-2450MHz) range. The
shelf can be operated in manual, auto or
remote mode with dual redundant power
supplies for reliability in service. It is a
non-latching coaxial relay often used as a
failsafe to the standby feed and switches to
standby if no power is applied.
These products can be used in all sectors
including
broadcast,
telecoms, satellite operator and
government/military.
