Radio and television broadcasting stations not only broadcast programmes they produce themselves. Signals have to be received and edited around the clock for a 24-hour service: incoming images from agencies and cameramen, correspondent reports, live links to reports on site.
For loss-free transmission, targeted transport within the internal network and zero error rates: the data management of the novotronik matrices ensures fault-free operation.

The L-band matrix MAS2541 distributes 64 L-band signals without blocking to 8 receivers in the frequency range 950 … 2150 MHz. It is housed in a 19” assembly rack with very good HF shielding and has a low-noise amplifier with high dynamic range and an RS-422 interface, amongst other features. A manual control module, redundant power supply and DC voltage supply for LNB’s are optionally available. Other interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, IEEE488 and LAN are possible.
The I/O boards are monitored in a processor routine. The setting of crosspoints and I/O error messages are displayed on the manual control module. Status feedback can also be called up at any time via the control interface. The device is modular in design – predominantly with 19” plug-in assemblies, thus making it very service friendly. The matrix outputs are protected against DC voltage.
