Additional Notes
Combined DVB-S2 Capable Satellite and IP Input (RX8200/HWO/DVBS2/IP)
This input card offers all the capability of the 2
Satellite Demodulator. This card offers two satellite input connectors rather than the
four satellite connectors of the satellite only option.
DVB-S2X Input Option Card for RX8200
The DVB-S2X Input Option Card is the latest generation of satellite input card for the
RX8200 only. Existing RX8200 IRDs already in the field can be upgraded to the
DVB-S2X card by swapping out their existing satellite demodulator cards and
upgrading their RX8000 software to Version 7.14.0 or greater. Please contact
Ericsson Customer Support for more details.
When configuring the Modulation Mode, swapping between DVB-S and DVB-
S2/S2X mode can take up to 25 seconds. This is because a different code image is
loaded in to the card for each mode. During this time the Lock Status field will
report CONFIGURING HARDWARE. Any configuration changes during this time will
be reapplied with the last valid configuration once the code image has finished
loading.
The DVB-S2X Input Option card can be upgraded independently of the RX8000
motherboard version. During the upgrade the Lock Status field will report
PROGRAMMING HARDWARE and will not accept any configuration changes.
When complete, the card will be reset automatically and the last valid configuration
will be applied. Configuration access is then restored to normal.
Satellite Input Option for RX8305
The satellite input found on RX8305 provides only one satellite input connector and
is limited to DVB-S QPSK, DVB-S2 QPSK and 8PSK modes only.
Satellite Input Option for RX8310/15/30
For the period up to approximately January 2012, the satellite input capability fitted
in RX8310/15/30 was the 1
After that date units transitioned across to the 2
Satellite Demodulator.

Frame Size – This field indicates the DVB-S2 FEC frame size – Normal or
Short.
DVB-S2 Short frames have a worse C/N performance than Normal frames. The
modulation – demodulation latency for Short frames is very slightly less than for
the Normal frame length.
