MIO-DM-SAT and MIO-CAM Series

Evertz' MIO-DM-SAT and MIO-CAM2 series are complete hardware-based solutions for demodulating digital DVB-S/S2/S2X satellite signals and provide CA decryption. Applications include signal reception for broadcasters, cable/DTH/IPTV providers and other operators who need to receive and utilize or re-distribute satellite content.

The MIO-DM-SAT is a high-performance, dual-slot MIO module designed for seamless integration within any Evertz SCORPION chassis. Each MIO module supports quad-demodulation functionality.

The quad RF input version (MIO-DM-SAT4) provides independent RF inputs per demodulator, whereas the single (MIO-DM-SAT1) and dual (MIO-DM-SAT2) RF input versions provide internal RF distribution to multiple demodulators for a convenient solution, eliminating the need for external RF distribution.

MIO-CAM2 is a dual-slot module that provides dual DVB-CI CAM slots for CA decryption using customer-supplied DVB-CI compliant modules.

In addition to robust signal demodulation, the MIO-DM-SAT series offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities for key performance metrics, including RF power, lock status, Es/No ratio and margin, L-Band frequency, MER, BER, packet errors, constellation diagrams and more. This extensive monitoring suite empowers operators not only to receive satellite signals but also remotely assess and maintain optimal signal quality across all channels.

Features

• Dual-slot MIO modules enabling high density demodulation
• Support for advanced transport stream processing, including straight pass through or service PID filtering / remapping of compressed stream outputs with bitrate control
• Automatic detection of modulation type, filter roll-off, symbol rate, pilot presence (on/off) and frame length, resulting in effortless configuration
• Signal quality monitoring, inc. Es/N0, demodulator locking, RF power and FEC activity
• Default SPTS feature, 4x SPTS for each TS stream; total of 16x SPTS per MIO-DM-SAT module
• 8x SPTS for each CAM by default, total of 16x SPTS per MIO-CAM2 module
• Can be deployed across all SCORPION chassis
• Capable of up to 32 demodulators in 1RU SCORPION-X18/S18 frames
• IP aggregation of all transport streams into 1+1 QSFP ports in SCORPION-X18/S18 frames
• Device-hosted web GUI and web API

Note: MIO-DM-SAT and/or MIO-CAM2 modules do not provide BISS1/E decryption. This is performed using MIO-BLADE-Z21 with MIO-DBISS-APP. Refer to the data sheet for MIO-BLADE-Z21 for details and ordering information.

LNB powering with selectable 13V/18V and 22kHz tone provided on two RF inputs (applies to RF Input 1 and 3 in the case of MIO-DM-SAT4 version).

For enhanced flexibility, DVB-S2X support is available on a per-channel basis through optional software licensing.

MIO-DM-SAT and MIO-CAM2 modules can be seamlessly integrated with a range of other MIO modules within a SCORPION chassis, enabling users to develop highly flexible and customized media solutions. This configuration allows for the execution of demodulation, decryption, transcoding, encoding, decoding and more within the same chassis. Such integration streamlines workflows and enhances operational efficiency, presenting a versatile and dependable solution for contemporary media applications.
