The Anttron TRM98 is a digital compact headend designed for distributing satellite television through existing coaxial networks in hotels, hospitals, campsites, and similar multi-room installations. It accepts 4 satellite signal inputs covering 8 tunable transponders and converts them into up to 8 contiguous digital terrestrial or cable MUXes.

An integrated remultiplexer allows free assignment of programs from any of the 8 satellite transponders to any of the 8 output MUXes. BISS decryption is included. The unit can be programmed locally via USB and the free DTV Iface software, or remotely via Ethernet using a DTV KEY access key.

Key Features

• 4 SAT inputs supporting 8 tunable transponders
• DVB-S2X Multistream support (CCM / ACM / VCM / 16APSK / 32APSK) on the first 4 transponders (A, B, C, D)
• DiSEqC control (13/18 V, 22 kHz) per individual input, 300 mA each
• Selectable DVB-T or DVB-C output configuration on eight contiguous channels
• Integrated remultiplexer for free program assignment across MUXes
• BISS decoding
• LCN (Logical Channel Numbering) support
• USB port for local programming via free DTV Iface software
• Ethernet port for remote programming with DTV KEY access key

Product Benefits

• Converts satellite content to DVB-T or DVB-C for distribution over an existing coaxial network — no need to replace infrastructure
• Remultiplexer gives operators full flexibility to allocate channels across output MUXes
• BISS decryption enables reception of encrypted transponders without separate conditional access modules
• Remote management via Ethernet reduces the need for on-site maintenance visits
• DVB-S2X Multistream capability future-proofs the installation for high-efficiency satellite feeds
