    SVP equipment This chapter provides a detailed description of NetC software. This program allows the control of several SVP systems at the same time, provided they all are in the same local area network. Chapter 7: Remote control via RS-232 connection This chapter provides a detailed description of how to remotely control the DR-100 series receivers via a RS-232 connection.
  • Page 4 DEAR CUSTOMER: We would like to thank you for selecting this equipment and welcome you to the SVP’s growing family of products. We are sure that the addition of this equipment to your existing installation will cause you nothing but satisfaction.
  • Page 5: Important Notes

    IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. The DR-100 series digital COFDM receiver is completely compatible with the DVB-T standard included in European Standard ETSI EN300744. 2. There are two different models available: the DR-102 diversity 2 receiver and the DR-106 diversity 6 receiver. Two down-converters can be connected to the DR-102 receiver and up to 6 down-converters can be connected to diversity 6 receiver.

    Chapter 1: Introduction 1 Description The DR-100 series COFDM digital receivers receive the signal from the down-converters which are installed outdoors next to the receiver antenna. It demodulates and decodes incoming signal. Afterward the signal sent by the transmitter is obtained at its outputs in video, SDI and ASI formats.

    SDI digital signals, four analogue audio signals and four digital audio signals embedded in the SDI signal. All models of the DR-100 series also have a DVB-ASI transport stream output that can be extremely useful if several decoders are to be chained or to implement an intermediate ASI feed without having to decode it.
