FEC to be switched back on. 
 

 

Viterbi 

 
Requires the Viterbi SAF feature (standard on base modem). 
 

 

TCM 

 
Requires the TCM SAF feature, which is provided free with the 8PSK SAF 
feature. 
 

 

TPC 

 
Requires the TPC SAF feature. 
 

 

Sequential 

 
Requires the Sequential SAF feature. 

 

 

LDPC 
 

Requires one or more of the LDPC data rate SAFs. This enables 
Conventional LDPC. 

Note that this feature has been superseded by 

FastLink low-latency LDPC, which gives comparable performance.

 

 

 

SmartLink 

(Quantum only) 

 

This is provided as part of DVB-S2 and is not a SAF feature in its own right. 
This selects 

SmartLink, 

which allows SCPC features to be used with DVB-

S2 ‘space segment’. DVB-S2 provides very efficient forward error 
correction (FEC), modulation and satellite framing and very robust 
demodulation (working lower into the noise). 

SmartLink

 is described in 

more detail in Section 8.13. 
 
However, the DVB-S2 standard does not directly support various features 
traditionally used in SCPC links such as Drop and Insert, ESC channel, 
remote M&C control, AUPC, IDR audio channels, etc. 

SmartLink

 allows 

ALL modem features that rely on SCPC framing (including IBS/SMS, IDR, 
Closed Network plus ESC, etc.) to be used in conjunction with DVB-S2, 
allowing legacy SCPC applications to immediately benefit from bandwidth 
savings and the increased robustentess of DVB-S2 while providing exactly 
the same services as before. 
 
If DVB-S2 is required but no SCPC features are required then as well as 
selecting 

SmartLink, 

the Tx or Rx service should be set to 

Closed network

as this does not add any extra framing to that provided by DVB-S2
(bypassing the framer in the diagram in Section 8.13)

. 

 
Note that 

SmartLink

 allows 

any

 terrestrial interface to be used with DVB-

S2. Using 

SmartLink

 in Closed network mode does not add any overhead 

beyond that of DVB-S2. This therefore allows pure DVB-S2 G.703
