Using the Equipment
DVB-S2X is an extension to the DVB-S2 standard can provide up to 20%
performance improvement compared to DVB-S2 and increase the efficiency of
satellite links. This will enable an increase in video quality or an increase in the
number of video services or a reduction in leased satellite bandwidth - bringing
lower operational expenditure.
This capability allows the IRD to acquire content from a satellite carrier and
demodulate the transmission, making a Transport Stream available to the IRD for
onward processing.
Most satellite input options for RX8000 IRDs have multiple satellite input connectors.
These connectors allow the IRD to be configured for signal feed distribution systems
that may involve separate L-band cables for different polarizations or even
originating from different antennas.

LNB LO Frequency – This field should be entered (in MHz, in steps of 1 kHz)
with the frequency of the LNB (low noise block down-converter) used with the
satellite dish. Typically a value of 9750 MHz or 10600 MHz would be used to
cover the satellite KU band frequency range 11.70 GHz-12.75 GHz. With this
value correctly entered and with the satellite frequency entered the IRD can
calculate the frequency of the wanted signal at L-band present on the input
connector.
Satellite Frequency – This field should be entered (in MHz, in steps of 1 kHz)
with the wanted satellite downlink frequency. This will normally be within the C-
band or KU band frequency range. Alternatively, if the LNB LO Frequency was
entered as 0 MHz the user can manually calculate and directly enter the wanted
L-band frequency.
