SMD 965 Option (30 Msps)
The SMD 965 option is a software license allowing the modulator SMD 910 board or SMD
912(A)(A) board to modulate at a symbol rate up to 30 Msps. The default symbol rate is 0.5 to 15
Msps and the SMD 965 option allows the modulator to extend the rate up to 30 Msps. This
option can be licensed on the unit at any time without sending it back to the factory.
SMD 966 Option (45 Msps)
The SMD 966 option is a software license allowing the modulator SMD 910 or SMD 912(A) board
to modulate at a symbol rate up to 45 Msps. The default symbol rate is 0.5 to 15 Msps and the
SMD 966 option allows the modulator to extend the rate up to 45 Msps. Since the SMD 966
allows up to 45 Msps it includes the SMD 965 license. This option can be licensed on the unit at
any time without sending it back to the factory.
SMD 970 Option (TS Analysis)
The SMD 970 option is a software license which adds TS analysis to the primary and secondary
(backup) inputs of the SMD 910 or SMD 912(A)(A) modulator. This option extends the input error
detection, of the primary and backup inputs following the TS 101 290 [4] guidelines. The TS
errors can be configured as a switch to backup trigger and as alarm indicators. This option can be
licensed on the unit at any time without sending it back to the factory.
SMD 971 Option (BISS Scrambling)
The SMD 971 option is a software license which enables support of Biss Scrambling in the SMD
910 or SMD 912(A) Modulator Module. BISS
is a “Basic Interoperable Scrambling System” for
use on DVB signals which encrypts the entire transport stream using fixed session keys. SMD-
971 Supports Biss Mode 1 and BISS Mode E. BISS-E introduce encrypted session words and
allow centrally-managed conditional access. This option can be licensed on the unit at any time
without sending it back to the factory.
SMD 968 Option (TurboPSK Advanced Modulation)
The SMD 968 option is a software license which enables support of an advanced modulation and
coding technology in the SMD 912(A) modulator option. This option is not available on the SMD
910 modulator. This option enables the SMD 912(A) modulator to generate and an advanced
modulation and coding transmission developed by Broadcom. The transmission is commonly
referred to as 8PSK turbo code or simply “Turbo PSK.” This option when combined with SMD
965 increases the turbo output symbol rates from a limit of 15 Msps to 30 Msps. This option can
be licensed on a unit with SMD 912(A) modulator or dual modulators at any time without sending
it back to the factory.
