TBS6903-X Professional DVB-S2X Dual Tuner PCI Card
Product Description
TBS6903-X is a Professional level digital satellite TV Tuner card with a PCI Express interface. TBS6903-X supports not only normal DVB-S2X/S2/DVB-S QPSK, 8PSK which is supported by normal satellite receivers but also CCM, ACM, VCM, 16APSK, 32APSK, Multiple Transport Stream, Multiple Generic Stream, Combined Single Generic &Single TS, which most satellite receiving devices can’t support. With the use of dedicated TBS tools, those special streams can be captured. The two advanced DVB-S2/S tuners enable you to watch TV channels from one satellite transponder while recording channels from different satellite transponders from another tuner at the same time.

DTA-2132 High-end satellite receiver for PCIe
Professional-grade satellite receiver card with high-quality RF measurements.
Ideal for satellite monitoring, modulator testing, and high-speed data distribution.
The card comes with full decoding and analysis of DVB Carrier ID (DVB-CID).
Features
FPGA-based DVB-S2/S2X demodulator (no CPU cycles consumed) with calibrated channel-power and MER measurement.
Supports VCM, ACM, MIS (multiple input streams), GS (generic stream) with access to baseband frames (BBFRAMEs) in L.3 format.
Hardware demodulator can be bypassed to obtain I/Q samples for recording or SDR.
Applications
Creating comprehensive satellite-network monitoring solutions for DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X.
Decoding and analysis of single or multiple DVB-CID signals, even when the satellite carrier interferes with other carriers.
Validation of DVB-S2/S2X/CID modulators.
High-speed satellite data distribution.
Block Diagram
The main path of the DTA-2132 consists of a wide-band L-band tuner, 12-bit I/Q analog-to-digital converter, DVB-S2/S2X demodulator and decoder, L.3 packetizer, FIFO, DMA controller, and PCIe interface. Constellation points are sampled after the demodulator, while LDPC error-rate and other statistics are gathered after the decoder.
A secondary I/Q path is used for multiple purposes: estimating the spectral characteristics of the input signal, DVB-CID demodulation, and sending I/Q samples to a user-space application for SDR, recording, or other purposes. A third path low-pass filters the I- and Q samples and estimates the signal power, corrected by calibration tables.
The DTA-2132 also contains an 18V/600mA LNB power inserter with over-current protection, as well as a DiSEqC-2.0 22-kHz LNB-control signal inserter. Finally, a temperature monitoring unit controls fan speed to keep the board cool.
