What is SAT>IP?
SAT>IP is a communication protocol for the reception and distribution of satellite signals. It virtually “translates” satellite TV signals (DVB-S and DVB-S2) for their use on Internetbased end-user devices in the fi eld of IP, allowing an entire household linked to a satellite reception antenna to view TV programmes on tablet PCs, PCs, laptops, smartphones, connected TVs, game consoles and media players. Viewers can thereby enjoy top-quality satellite TV even on devices that are not equipped with their own tuners. Satellite signals can be transferred over any IP infrastructure, with or without cable.This technology also substantially simplifi es the distribution of satellite signals to multiple TV sets.

How does SAT>IP work?
SAT>IP is an IP-based architecture for the reception and distribution of satellite signals. Traditional satellite receivers (DVB-S) only translate signals into frequencies before they are forwarded over coaxial cable. Satellite receivers are required to receive and demodulate satellite signals. In SAT>IP technology, DVB-S/DVB-S2 signals are directly demodulated and converted to IP at the reception point in a SAT>IP server. This can take place directly in the antenna, (IP-LNB), directly after it in the distribution line (SAT>IP multi-switch or converter) or in a master set-top box. Essentially, the SAT>IP server replacesthe DVB-S/DVBS-2 layer with an IP transport layer. Following conversion, satellite programmes can be transported to SAT>IP clients over a router and different IP networks (e.g. WLAN, Ethernet, Power Line, fi bre optic cable or K-LAN) just like conventional IPTV signals are.

This allows simultaneous transmission of up to eight TV programmes to different end-user devices. In a SAT>IP environment, each IP device is automatically suitable for thereception of satellite signals as soon as it has the required software, whether tablets, PCs, Laptops, Smartphones,Connected TVs, game consoles, media players or IP STBs. Many only require a software update or app to become SAT>IP-capable.
Smart TVs, Blu-ray players and some consoles can receive IP signals mostly directly, i.e. without an additional client, as long as the SAT>IP server has a DNLA function. This allows simultaneous transmission of up to eight TV programmes to different end-user devices. SAT>IP distinguishes between servers and clients. The new, open, manufacturer-independent protocol ensures that SAT>IP clients can communicate with SAT>IP servers.

What are the advantages for viewers?
The advantages for viewers are plain to see. TV viewers are able to watch TV programmes on different end-user devices and screens in the habitual high-quality offered by satellite TV without media disruption or additional cabling and without having to use an Internet connection. On many of these units,
one could either not watch this live content or only view it in poor quality. Furthermore, use of IP networks would result in high additional expenses.

The SAT>IP server EXIP 414 “translates” satellite TV signals (DVB-S and DVB-S2) for their use on Internet-based end-user devices in the field of IP, allowing top-quality satellite TV even on devices that are not equipped with their own tuners (e.g. tablets, PCs, etc.). Satellite signals can thereby be transferred over any IP infrastructure, with or without cable.
