This headend only applies to WA, Other states will require more transmodulator models.
This headend requires a satellite input (using a 10.7GHz LO LNBF), and will output in a DVB-T MPEG4 standard. This means you can run it through an exisiting coaxial cable networks and input directly into the DVB-T Tuner (MPEG4) of a Digital TV – no need for satellite receivers, set top boxes.
Installation Example.
A motel in a rural area has an exisiting coaxial cable system distributing TV to every room. The area was previously served by an analogue transmitter, but was switched to satellite during the digital switchover. The motel can either install VAST receivers in every room, and use a satellite distribution amplifier to send satellite IF signal to each room. Or install a single Satellite Transmodulator headend such as this one (provided every room has a MPEG4 Digital TV Fitted). If there are more than approx 20 TVs, it’s more cost effective to install a VAST TV Headend instead of 20 VAST Boxes.
