1. Purpose of use
RFT-8X7 is HD compatible IP streamer designed for a processing two 8PSK/QPSK modulated satellite
signals (DVB-S/S2) and two COFDM/QAM modulated signal to data broadcast (IP) connected to Ethernet.
With one RFT-8X7 unit can be transmitted 8 programs (max. average bit rate 5Mbit/s/program) when there
are 8 or more simultaneous users (Multicast). When there are 7 or less simultaneous users, 40-50 SD
programs (total bit rate 40 Mbit/s) can be transmitted (Unicast). The programs can be received with VLC
Player, IP STB or Smart TV.
2. Installation
The connections are shown in Fig 1.
1. RJ 45 output connector to Ethernet
2. F-female for input of tuners 3 and 4 (DVB-T/C)
3. Not in use
4. F-female for input of tuner 2 (DVB-S only)
5. F-female for input of tuner 1 (DVB-S/S2)
6. 2*CAM slot; right slot (connector side) is for
tuner 4 and left side slot is for tuner 3
7. DC IN
8. DC OUT for next RFT-847 unit (max 8 units in
chain)
RFT-8X7 is mounted directly on the wall. Do not cover the air passage holes.
Signal from LNB is fed to F-female connectors 4 and 5. Tuner 1 (DVB-S/S2) is connected to connector 5
and tuner 2 (DVB-S only) is connected to connector 4.
Maximum total current of LNB connector is 250 mA.
Signal from antenna or cable network is connected to F-female connector (2). There are two DVB-T or
DVB-C tuners connected to input connector 2.
Power supply unit is connected to the left side DC connector of RFT-8X7 at the bottom of unit (7). You can
loop-through DC from the right side DC connector (8) to next unit with the DC cable. Maximum eight RFT-
8X7 units in chain can be supplied with one power supply (RFP-804).
Ethernet cable is connected to RJ 45 connector (1).
3. Setting up the system
