Features

Dual-channel QAM-receiver, fully compliant with J.83 Annex A (DVB-C), B and C.
Each channel provides reception status, RF level, demodulation status, constellation, MER, pre-RS BER and of course, the complete Transport Stream.
With the two independent ASI-ports you can either monitor the incoming signal or playback a local file-based Transport Stream.

Applications

Network monitoring of DVB-C, QAM-A, B or C signals.
A professional cable receiver, that can be used in your custom application, by use of our easy DTAPI.

	DTA-2115B – All-Standard VHF/UHF/L-Band Modulator for PCIe The DTA-2115B is a high-end modulator with high output level (0dBm) and great phase noise figure. Use the DTA-2115B to generate any QAM signal, or even 8 QAM channels with the new 8-channel firmware.
	DTA-2131 – Multi-Standard Cable/Terrestrial Receiver for PCIe Multi-standard VHF/UHF SDR receiver for PCIe. If you are looking for a solution that also supports DVB-C2 and terrestrial solutions, the DTA-2131 is your best choice. The DTA-2136 support QAM-only (all annexes), where the DTA-2131 does only support annex A. It is an SDR-based demodulator, which makes it completely customizable.
	DTA-2137C – Satellite Receiver for PCIe PCI Express dual-channel satellite receiver. For receiving DVB-S or DVB-S2 satellite signals, the DTA-2137C is the card to go for. Where the DTA-2136 is can receive QAM-A, B and C, the DTA-2137C can receive DVB-S and S2.
	DTA-2138B – Single-Channel Cable/Terrestrial Receiver for PCIe DekTec's hardware-based DVB-T2/C2 and ISDB-T demodulator. The DTA-2138 can receive signals on DVB-T2, C2 and ISDB-T based on hardware-demodulation, where the DTA-2136 is limited to QAM.
