The Johansson 8701 Titanium 8 DVB-T/C is a standalone compact headend for digital TV distribution. It accepts signals from up to 8 satellite transponders across 4 satellite bands and one RF input, then re-multiplexes them into up to 4 DVB-T or DVB-C output MUXes on a single RF output. Two CI slots accommodate CAM cards for decoding encrypted services, including multi-service CAMs.

The built-in webserver is accessed via a dedicated management port, enabling full configuration without additional software tools. The transmodulator architecture allows very fast on-site installation, making the 8701 a direct and practical replacement for analogue headends in hotels, hospitals, and other MATV environments requiring high transponder capacity.

Key Features

• 8 satellite tuners accepting DVB-S and DVB-S2 signals (QPSK, 8PSK)
• 4 output MUXes selectable as DVB-T or DVB-C on a single RF output
• 2 CI slots for CAM cards, supporting multi-service CAMs
• Integrated multiswitch allows flexible routing of satellite programmes to multiplexes (QAM or COFDM)
• Standalone frame with built-in power supply — no external chassis required
• RF input pass-through alongside the 4 RF output MUXes

Product Benefits

• 8 tuners enable content from more transponders to be distributed simultaneously compared to the 4-tuner model
• Web-based configuration is fully remote once the unit is on the network — no on-site software installation
• DVB-T output up to 31.7 Mbps per MUX and DVB-C up to 51.3 Mbps per MUX support high-density multi-channel distributions
• Integrated multiswitch eliminates an external switching device from the signal path
• Both DVB-T and DVB-C outputs on the same unit provide flexibility for mixed building infrastructure
