Headend stations / DVB-Gateways

The right headend station for your application

GSS headend stations allow you to receive satellite (DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-S2X), terrestrial (DVB-T), and cable (DVB-C) signals for professional channel preparation and streaming applications.

The DVB Common Interface (CI) and multiplex functions allow pay TV channels to be decrypted centrally and programs to be sorted into new channel assignments or, thanks to program filters, services for data reduction to be switched off directly.

The right choice for every application: You can obtain the head ends in different designs and for different areas of application. For example the 19″ headends as IPTV source for hospitality projects, data loggers and transcoding servers as well as compact industrial appliances with active and passive cooling for DVB-C modulation for feeding into coax networks in residential buildings.
