EMAA MIP Inserter

GPS reference    


The reference signals are processed (1 PPS and 10 MHz) coming from a GPS receiver in order to compute the time stamp information that are part of the MIP packet. The powerful management of the synchronization signals allows reliable operations even in case of a loss of reference signals and minimizes the resulting disturbances.


Signal processing    


The EMAA MIP inserter supports all DVB- T and DVB-H modes (2k/4k/8k) with all channel bandwidths (5, 6, 7, 8 MHz). Thanks to the 2 ASI inputs and 2 ASI outputs, a single unit is able to perform the MIP insertion in non hierarchical mode as well as in hierarchical mode.

In non hierarchical mode:
  • The 2 ASI inputs could be used for redundancy,
  • The 2 ASI outputs generate the same signal.
In hierarchical mode:
  • The 2 ASI inputs receive the 2 transport stream flows (HP & LP) coming from 2 DVB multiplexers,
  • The 2 ASI outputs generate the HP and LP flows, ready to feed the modulator through a transport network.

Control


The configuration can be done locally, using both the front panel display and a set of operating buttons.
Moreover, an embedded Website allows to control the unit remotely, using a standard Web browser over a TCP/IP network.


Alarms    


With the build-in SNMP agent (compatible V1 and V2c), the MIP inserter is able to send alarms automatically to a central SNMP manager. In addition, EMAA MIP Inserter includes relay outputs which can be triggered by the alarms.
