Victor IF / extended L-band Matrix (Downlink) 16 x 16

VTR-71

• Description

  The Victor is a IF / Extended L-band distributive (full fan-out) Matrix. It has a module capacity of 16 Inputs x 16 Outputs, 50-2500MHz - KA-band ready frequency and features local and remote control and variable gain, all housed in a compact 1U high shelf.

  Model VTR-71 provides enhanced features such as software enabled expansion, providing the flexibility of being able to purchase a part populated Victor (starting from 4 inputs x 4 outputs) and then expanding the inputs and outputs (up to 16 inputs x 16 outputs) via a software key.

  For LNB powering, see model VTR-80.

• Benefits

  Key benefits:

  - Variable gain on each input, to follow for signal balancing. 

  - Covering IF/L-band frequencies with extended L-band as an option.

  - Simple 'plug & go' installation. 

  - Compact 1U chassis, ideal for restricted rack space.

  For full technical specifications, please see the product datasheet.

• Applications

  Typical Applications: 

  - Live news & sport traffic especially in SNG or OB trucks. 

  - Oil & Gas applications. 

  - RF content acquisition for TVRO * IPTV headends. 

  - RF distribution in cruise liners or luxury yachts. 

• Matrix Type

  Non-blocking: this means any input can be routed to any output.

  Full Fan-out Matrix (or fully distributive or splitting matrix): any input can be routed to any output. One input can be routed to many outputs. Each output can only have one input. Tends to be more RX.

  In general, our solid state (L-band) matrices are non-blocking.

• Matrix Sizes

  The Victor Matrix has a full capacity of 16 inputs x 16 outputs, but can be supplied part-populated, and expanded in single increments. 

  For other sizes please see;

  Enigma Matrix - Up to 32 input x 32 output (populated in increments of 1)

  Hurricane Matrix - up to 64 inputs x 64 outputs (populated by increments of 8)

  Vortex Matrix - Up to 64 inputs x 64 outputs (populated in increments of 16)

  Vulcan Matrix - Up to 128 inputs x 128 outputs (populated in increments of 8)
