WHAT IS SMATV?
Basically SMATV abbreviated as (Satellite Master Antenna Television), now SMATV assigned as a system which uses broadcast signals and too many satellites just to produce an only integrated cable signal for the dealing out of cable network.
HOW SMATV WORKS?
For the installation of SMATV, we require to install a TV antenna and satellite dish. You will receive programming from the local broadcast networks and satellite providers. Those antennae are able to feed into certain electronically equipped and modified racks. These racks are helpful for tuning the channels that you selected for the lineup of your cable and then you have to join them into only one cable signal.
SMATV basically contain antenna feeding and outdoor unit to many indoor units. The accessible channels are not dependent on other users. A large antenna is needed for the maintenance of good signal to noise ratio into all indoor served units.
MAJOR COMPONENTS OF SMATV:
- Headend Module:
The headend Module is the core component of SMATV that is required to receive the signals from satellites and then process it then distribute it throughout a distribution network.
SMATV Headend receives and processes the signals from the satellites and distributes it through a distribution network. The components of the headend system are given below:
- Antenna
- Modulators
- Baluns
- Preamplifiers
- Filters And Traps
- Antenna Mixing Units
- Cable
- Amplifiers
- Distribution System Equipment:
The following mentioned components are the components of distribution system equipment.
- Splitters
- 75 To 300 Ohm Matching Transformers
- Tapoffs
- Terminators
- Band Separators
Features
- Each and every user required the individual purchase of the Satellite Decoder and receiver just to view the channel.
- There is not any type of restriction or limitation of the channel. All the channels of SMATV can be watch that is transmitted from the satellites that are connected. So, whenever if any new channel is required, the person can tune it by their selves and it is free of cost.
- Each and every individual have to subscribe and then they can watch their paid channels.
- The signals of the satellite are able to reach on the most complicated part of the world where access to cable TV is limited.
- The system of SMATV can carry CATV and MATV with the satellite signals.
- SMATV Is just compatible and matches to the cable internet.
- Channels in a SMATV headend system
- You can easily distribute any of the channels that you want and that’s you have a module in the head end system. Each and every Display or TV that is present in all rooms will be able to catch all the paid channels.
- All the racks of SD-SMATV headend are able to deliver 12 to 36 channels.
- All the modules present in the HD headend system are able to deliver 12 to 24 channels.
- The industry standards of SMATV HD is the head-end system.
