BR-101E QIG Introduction BR-101E can serve as a repeater, bridge or gap filler for DVB-T application. The transmitted (target) channel’s configuration can be either the same or different as the received (source) channel’s. The flexibility makes BR-101E a handy converter for frequency, bandwidth, and modulation conversions between the received and transmitted channels.
