HOTLINE: + 421 905 606 027
Description
Details
Features
- High-end test modulator for PCIe with support for all popular digital-TV modulation standards
- All-digital modulation
- Wideband upconverter 32 to 2186MHz, fully agile over VHF, UHF and L-band
- Digital channel simulator option including multipath echo and phase noise simulation
- Ultra low phase noise
- 10-MHz/1pps input for SFN operation or board-to-board synchronization
- Free Windows and Linux SDK (DTAPI) is compatible with DekTec’s other modulators and digital-video output adapters
Eight-Channel Firmware
- With the DTC-385-HW8CH option, the DTA-2115B operates as eight independent 8-MHz modulators
- Each modulator is fully agile over the VHF and UHF band (no dependencies between modulators)
- Any combination of terrestrial and cable modulation standards is supported
Applications
- The ultimate test modulator in the lab
- Generation of a network of channels in a test and validation environment using StreamXpress®
- Play back of I/Q samples up to 72MHz bandwidth

Documents

- Datasheet
Dektec models are most often differentiated by the sufix e.g. SD, SXP etc., where suffix specifies the SW licence
- SP = Stream Player (allows you to play/modulate transport stream files, so this makes sence for devices with Output interface)
- SXP = Stream Xpert (this is MPEG TS ANALYZER, what makes sence for Input devices)
- SLP = Stream Xper Lite (very limited alternative of SXP, de facto allowing mainly capturing MPEG TS, again makes sence for Input devices)
- RX = RFXpert RF signal analysys
- SY = SD Eye (video analyzer)
- J = Jitter
- DGL = Dongle license for non Dektec devices
Meaning of abreviations used in beginning of Dektec model names
- DTA = Dektec adapter (typically PCI, PCI-e)
- DTU = Dektec USB device both USB-2 and USB-3
- DTE = Dektec Ethernet standalone networked device
- DTC = Dektec software license
