FREE TO AIR

Fracarro centralized solutions are made with high quality products and are the result of over 20 years of research and development in this sector. Compact, modular and scalable, Fracarro headends are suitable for local management and/or for the reception, regeneration and decoding of new technology satellite signals which can be easily conveyed through coaxial, fiber optic or IPTV infrastructures.

Fracarro Free To Air solutions are intuitive and easy to use and are available in different versions: the compact D-MATRIX-4S FTA, which meets the distribution needs of the main programs, the expandable modular 3DGFLEX EVO, able to correctly manage free-to-air international content, and the brand new Galaxia and XDG solutions.

GALAXIA allows you to manage not only the contents received from satellite or digital terrestrial antennas, but also those coming from an IPTV system and then make them available again for coaxial distribution or IPTV multicast distribution.
Ideal for distributing IPTV programs through a GPON infrastructure the control unit is characterized by a series of important advantages.

• 1U transport Standard Rack 19”
• Dual power supply redundant as standard
• Forced ventilation
• Ability to insert modules hot (hot-swap)
• 4 GE RJ45 ports on the front (2 for management, 2 for IPin/out stream)
• Natively supports up to 120 IPTV inputs and 120 IPTV outputs (SPTS/MPTS)
• Management of different sources (DVB-S2/S2X, DVB-T2, DVB-C, HDMI, descrambling, etc.)
• Management of the advanced parameters of each single program (PID filtering, SID, NIT, LCN, ONID, etc.)
• Management via the integrated web interface (configuration, maintenance, etc.)
• Ideal for distributing IPTV content via GPON infrastructure
• Supports the SNMP

They are modular, flexible and expandable control units designed to work on a “digital matrix”: within a single 3DG-BOX it is possible to insert modules of different types (Satellite receivers, Digital Terrestrial receivers, ASI modules, IP streamers, etc.) creating many mixed configurations. The 3DGFlex architecture makes it possible to manage an enormous quantity of satellite or digital terrestrial programs (in SD or HD format), of external analog or HDMI sources and to remodulate them in the available digital multiplexes or to send them for distribution .

Furthermore, thanks to the double Common Interface slots which the satellite modules and Digital Terrestrial modules are equipped with, it is possible to decrypt the desired programs using the appropriate CAMs and professional Smart Cards, for example tivùsat satellite programs new generation.
Thanks to the auxiliary power supply module, it will be possible to guarantee the functioning of the control unit (Continuity of Service), even in the event of anomalies in the main power source.

The control unit is capable of transmodulating the programs received in the 8 DVB-T or DVB-C digital terrestrial multiplexes with which it is equipped, to make them available for coaxial distribution.

• compact ”all in one” control unit
• up to 8 independent DVB-S2/S2X inputs,
• up to 8 DVB-T/C outputs (output modulation selectable during programming)
• 3 independent Common Interface slots for inserting Professional CAMs and smart-cards
• double installation mode: the chassis is designed for installation in a 19” rack (1U standard) or for wall installation
• excellent forced ventilation
• management of all parameters via the onboard web interface
• management of the advanced parameters of each single program (PID filtering, SID, NIT, LCN, ONID, etc.)
• supports SNMP protocol

The D-MATRIX Series control units were designed by Fracarro for the distribution of satellite television content in small and medium-sized hospitality contexts.

They are compact and flexible control units designed to work on a “digital matrix”: a single product is capable of receiving many satellite or digital terrestrial programs (in SD or HD format) from several independent inputs and to re-modulate them in the digital multiplexes available at the output.

Thanks to two universal Common Interface slots, the D-MATRIX control units are able to decrypt the desired programs using the appropriate CAMs and professional Smart Cards, such as tivùsat programmes.
