Software Licensing Overview
SMD 961 DVB-S Modulation
The SMD 961 option is a software license allowing the modulator board to modulate DVB-
S/DSNG using QPSK, 8PSK, or 16QAM. This option is enabled on all SMD 910 or SMD
912(A)(A) modules by default.
SMD 962 Option (DVB-S2-S2X, QPSK & 8PSK Modulation)
The SMD 962 option is a software license allowing the modulator SMD 910 or SMD 912(A) board
to modulate DVB-S and DVB-S2. This option includes the SMD 961 license which allows for
DVB-S/DSNG. The SMD 962 option includes QPSK and 8PSK for DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X to 15
Msps. This option can be licensed on the unit at any time without sending it back to the factory.
SMD 963 Option (DVB-S2 Multistream)
The SMD 963 option is a software license which enables multistream for CCM and VCM support
for the SMD 910 when used with DVB-S2. This option is not available when using the SMD
912(A)(A) modulator board. The 963 option supports up to a total of 6 TS streams sourced from
any of the ASI or IP inputs. The user is allowed to select the desired amount of inputs and type
from the front panel, web interface, and/or SNMP. This option can be licensed on an SMD989
unit with an SMD910 modulator at any time without sending it back to the factory. The SMD 970
TS Analysis option is not applicable with DVB-S2 Multistream signals.

SMD 964 Option (DVB-S2-S2X,16, 32, 64APSK Modulation)
The SMD 964 option is a software license allowing the modulator SMD 910 or SMD 912(A) to
modulate DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X to 15 Msps. This option includes the SMD 961 and
SMD 962 licensed capabilities which allows for DVB-S, DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X at QPSK and
8PSK. The SMD 964 option further includes 16 APSK, 32 APSK, and,64APSK modulations for
DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X. This option can be licensed on the unit at any time without sending it
back to the factory.
