Topfield TMS SRP-2100


万能高手

通常我们买的每款接收机都有一个显著的特点,就是前面板上都有一个商标铭
牌。事实上,没有一家制造厂商关起门来独自开发生产全部零配件,都是从各种不
同的供应商那里买来零件,然后组装成接收机整机。
核心的零部件是芯片组,它决定着如何处理好声音和影像数据。
一个质量好的接收机一定具有质量好的芯片组,
因而能够保证声音和图像的靓丽,
并且功能广泛、操作稳定。

这两个词指的都是天线自动定位的计算方法。每个卫星的

实际上,对于各个位置而言,相对于地平线其位置又有所

意大利的天控器制造厂商首先建议在接收机中加入这套

“USALS,” 意味着通用卫星

MOTECK 选择缩写词“ GAAPS” 表明它的坐标计算方法,
意思是全球天线自动定位系统。

专家的结论 此外,坐标的确定并不是极轴座来操作的,而是它接收

的《国际卫星电视》上介绍过他的
新想法。

■ 这张照片曾出现于02-03/2008的《国际
卫星电视》上。

…这张照片摄于2009年3月的同一地 ■
点,几个月前的开阔地,而今已经矗立
起一座新厂房。

www.TELE-satellite.com — 06-07/2009 — TELE-satellite & Broadband 75


■ 不 要站到天 线上
去!这句话不适于这
款新天线。尼软展示
了这 款 天 线 过 人 的
强度。“安装人员很
喜欢这 款 天 线I”,
他骄 傲 地介绍着他
的新产品,“不需再
用很多时间来拼 接
天线面了,安装工作
更快捷,天线也更结
实。”

■ INFOSAT
的另一项创新:尼软向我们展示一款接驳复合开关的 C
/Ku 一体化高频头原型。C 波段的高频头有水平垂直两种极化方式,
而 Ku 高频头则只有垂直极化输出。这只用于国内市场接收 87.5°E
的 THAICOM 卫星 C 波段信号和 95°E 的NSS 6 卫星的 Ku 波段
信号。“工程师们正在研制双极化 Ku 波段高频头,但是技术要求很
高”,尼软解释了为什么这款 Ku 波段复合高频头为什么只能接收一种
极化信号的原因。

2008年最近一期《国际卫星电视》里有
一篇介绍 INFOSAT 公司的文章,那里有
一张开阔地的照片,但那已成为过去。
今天,一座新的厂房就矗立在这片开阔
地中: “ 那是 INFOSAT 公司的 2 号
工厂,”尼软骄傲地解释说。他对正在施
工的建筑工人打着手势:“在这期杂志付
印完的时侯,工厂将会竣工。”1 号工厂
已经达到它的产能极限: 就在几星期以
前,此前提到的整体天线产品已经开始
生产了。

“1 号工厂有 2400 平方米; 2 号工


厂有 2500 平方米”,尼软解释道。第一
间工厂是属于 INFOSAT 公司的,不过第
“节省的资金我已经用
二个则是租用的。
于投资在新机器上了”,尼软介绍了他的
■ INFOSAT整体天线 计划。加上另外两部,他总共有五台冲压
组装的第一步:天线的
机来为生产 0.5 毫米厚的铝网天线打
骨架在一个圆台上焊
接完成。照片中间的

工人正在装配中间的
支架。
显然,最大的投资是喷涂系统: 他要
用这套设备来给天线支架和天线面喷

76 TELE-satellite & Broadband — 06-07/2009 — www.TELE-satellite.com


漆。“所有新机器的总投资超过40万美
元”,尼软说道。1 号工厂进行天线的制
造和组装,然后 2 号工厂进行油漆喷
涂,并包装好准备发运。

进行这么大的投资会不禁使你想到:
难道泰国在全世界的经济危机中独善其
身吗?“根本不是”,尼软回答说,“从去
年九月以来订货合同逐渐在减少。”开
始时,尼软并没有理会,但是他的员工开
■ 金属网敷在了天 始有些紧张。后来,尼软着手解决:“用
线骨架上- INFOSAT 来制造天线最主要的原料铝和钢材的
的 1.5 米整体天线
价格已经下降,于是我在 2009 年 1 月
面就制成了。
1 日将 INFOSAT 天线的价格下调了
10%。”新的价格公布不久, 订单就开始
增加了。
“现在我们时常一星期要工作七
天才能完成这些订单”,尼软的脸上露出
一丝微笑并解释说。他对他的降价策略
感到相当满意。2008 年底积压的库存大
大减少了。
“今天,天线刚生产出来就能
销售出去; 经销商们必须等候他们的订
货出厂!” 头一个工厂的最大生产能力
是每月 10,000 个天线。 随着第二个工
厂的开工,能力已经增加到 每月 15,000
个。

尼软承认经济危机有影响。并不仅仅
是原料价格的下降,工资水平也下降了。
我们 70% 的员工是忠诚的,而 30% 的
人则可能会由于区区 1% 的加薪而转到
另外的一家公司。对于一家有着 60 名
工人和 30 名行政人员的公司来说,员
工的忠诚度是一个很重要的方面。

在湄南河饭店吃午餐的时候,这里紧
挨着曼谷的市中心,距离新工厂只有 20
公里, 尼软介绍了他今后的计划: “在
泰国卖得最畅销的接收机是 ZIMPLE 4
■ 发运地点: 三面天线为一个包装。在这里可
Box 型,每月超过 30,000 台。” 一直
以看到尼软正把着这样一个包装。对于一单国
际订单来说,20个这样的包装组成的一件货件 到现在,他始终是从中国得到这些按照
是最小的订货数量。 他的规格要求生产的接收机。但是他

78 TELE-satellite & Broadband — 06-07/2009 — www.TELE-satellite.com


■ 粉色的天线?谁会
买这样的天线呢?吉拉
蓬•唐匹润坦,尼软的
妻子解释说:
“5% 的
天线要漆成粉色的来
销售。买主是女性,她
们更喜欢这个颜色”。
其余 60% 的天线不
用特殊的颜色,因为
那样成本要稍高些。
有 35% 的是黑色。其
他的则要根据客户的
具体要求来喷涂。

■ 现在,ZIMPLE 4 Box 接收机还是按照


INFOSAT 的要求由中国制造。在销售前,
INFOSAT 自己的 H20 软件要装入接收机,这
里有最新的转发器数据。

■ INFOSAT的第二个工
厂,当本期《国际卫星电
视》发行的时候它将投
入使用。

80 TELE-satellite & Broadband — 06-07/2009 — www.TELE-satellite.com


需要支付 20% 的关税,而且接收机标
着“中国制造”。 如果他以 SKD 形式
进口 (散件),关税就会只有 10%,接收
机还可以标着“泰国制造”。
“有一些国
家更喜欢‘泰国制造’”, 尼软仔细地考
虑过由自己生产接收机这个令人心动的
想法。同时,他也想过相关的费用问题。
尼软正在斟酌是加入生产接收机的行列
还是继续稳妥地单纯进口接收机。尼软
还没有正式决定下来。但是,如果你在新
的工厂里就会见到一个为一条接收机装
配线保留的位置…

无论如何,尼软都想要实现他那雄心
勃勃的目标。即使 2009 年已经被公认
为是一个衰退的年份, 他还是为自己设
定了一个目标: “2008 年,INFOSAT 的
■ 发运部:这里每天都要
给经销商备货。 销售额达到了1000万美元,我希望 2009
年增加 20%!” 实际上,他要实现这一
个目标的时机非常好!

■ 在这里可以看到工人
们正在忙着安装这套新
的喷涂系统,当本期杂
志出现在报摊上时,它
将会投入使用。

DXer REPORT 北京的高清电视接收

新的爱好: 《国际卫星电视》会定期报道卫星发烧

高清电视 友。到现在,已经涵盖了所有爱好卫星接收
的人。可是最近又出现了一类新人: 高清
电视发烧友! 他们只对DVB- S2高清电视
频道感兴趣,而对其它不感兴趣。我们在
北京就见到了这个高清电视发烧友特殊群
体中的一员,他们也是因此而与众不同。除
了在特殊的公寓,在中国禁止私人的卫星
接收,而接收高清电视则更是难上加难。

■ 两天前刚刚买的:Applesat准
备过两天安装这个2.4米的
新天线。旁边的1米天线对着
ASIASAT卫星。

82 TELE-satellite & Broadband — 06-07/2009 — www.TELE-satellite.com


这 位 高 清 电 视 发 烧 友 的 绰 号 是“
Applesat”(直译为苹果星)。他介绍说:
“从 15 岁开始,我就对卫星接收感兴
趣。那时中国还没有开放,而接收外国节
目为我打开一个新的世界。那时我想地
球就像一个四围飞绕着卫星的苹果。”

他的父母并不喜欢他的新爱好,但是
Applesat没有理会,就从一个 1.5米天线
开始接收 ASIASAT 1卫星,这是 1992 年
的事。3 年后,他将天线扩大到2.1米,用
来接收 APSTAR 1 卫星。

■ Applesat 的0.6 米天线上的


2009 年 1 月,他把家搬到了北京北

■Applesat 将他的天线很好地隐藏在了这座公
寓楼上: 从地面上看不见,它们都安装在了9 楼
顶上。

■ 这种喇叭口馈源是专为偏馈天线所设计的,这从
其圆锥状的外形就能辨别出来。 “若采用普通正馈
(PFA)的馈源就会造成很大的信号损失,”Applesat
解释说。

要是保护他免于任何好奇的窥视。
“在
边远地区,你可以合法地安装天线来
接收 ABS-S 的 CHINASTAR 频道,”
Applesat 解释说, “但在城市不允许私
人接收。”

当然也有例外,就是外国人居住的公
寓允许接收。北京出生的 Applesat 不
愿以这作为理由,因为他不想自己被引
起任何注意。
“我酷爱高清电视” ,
Applesat 说,“这就是我为什么愿意承
担一些风险的原因。”他梦想有一天能在
中国的长城附近拥有一块自己的土地,
建起一个真正的卫星天线农场。
“但是
■ Applesat 在面南的客厅里用
Trimax场强仪安装一个小的偏馈天 现在的法律不允许像我这样的城市居民
线。 “我几乎每天晚上都调天线”,
在农村拥有任何的土地。”
Applesat说,“这就是我的手动天
线。”
他和一些志趣相投的人保持着联系,
并一起期待着那一天的到来。他通过自
己的互联网论坛发布新的高清电视频
道信息 www.hdtvstar.cn; 也从 www.
cnsat.net 获得新的转发器频率。

像 Applesat 一样的人如何在北京买
到相关的卫星产品呢?你可以在一些省
会城市的卫星设备商店买到,但你在北
京却买不到。
“我通过互联网拍卖买到
许多设备”。Applesat表示,“使用’卫
星’一词不行,所以你必须使用其它相似
词汇才能找到该类产品。”

Applesat 知道该如何克服困难来满
足他的爱好。他的机架上已经摆上了 5
个卫星接收机,他还有 1 个 32 吋的
高清平板电视。
“我真想将我的爱好变
成我的工作,” Applesat 解释说,“早
晚会有那一天的。” 爱好是 Applesat
的动力源泉。

■ Applesat 和他的 5 个接收机,一个接收 DMB-TH


地面高清电视,一个接收 DVB-S2 信号,两个用模块
接收 DVB-S 信号,一个接收免费DVB-S 信号。 “我
最喜欢的就是 ASIASAT 2 卫星上的Luxe TV、
Fashion TV、Voom、National Geographic、History
Channel、AXN 和 MEASAT 上的ASN”, Applesat 解
释说, “韩国的节目供应商Skylife 最近开始在
KOREASAT 3 卫星上的 11.900L 和 11.938L 播放高
清电视节目。”

IPTV SUBSCRIBERS QUADRUPLE IN 2008


Lattelecom reported a fourfold increase in subscribers to its IPTV
service Lattelecom TV during 2008 and also recently secured the rights
to operate an MPEG4-based DTT service in the country. Although
it has not revealed subscriber figures for its IPTV service, launched
in April 2007, the company also reports that income from interactive
TV services increased by 517% in 2008. Lattelecom recently started
expanding its new FTTx-based “Future Network”, which will deliver
Internet speeds of up to 100 Mbps, with customers in Zolitūde (a
suburb of Riga, the capital of Latvia) already receiving these speeds.
In the future, Internet speeds will be increased to 10 Gbps, and the
new network is to be expanded to the neighbourhood of Ķengarags
(another suburb of Riga), and then to other parts of the capital and
across other major cities in Latvia. The operator aims to offers DTT
services on a commercial basis and throughout Latvia from this autumn.

RO.VE.R. SDA-5 Digisky


Although it comes with a very long name, this new
measuring tool is one of the smallest profes-
sional analyzers we have seen so far. It has been
designed for measuring analogue and digital
signals. It is light-weighted, only 1.3kg, and is very
small. It comes in a yellow carrying case, which
also has room for adapters and other accesso-
ries. A shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. A
first look at this device will show you that is must
be easy to operate. It doesn’t feature many but-
tons, which most of the times are hard to reach.
No just a few buttons, seven to be precise, will
do the trick. And that is just what you need when
you are high up on the roof, in combination with
a two-line LC display (16 characters each.)
The SDA-5 from Digisky is designed for meas-
uring satellite signals only, and can there-
fore only handle signals between 950 and
2150MHz. This way you won’t pay for things
you don’t need. For terrestrial signals, RO.VE.
R offers the TDA-4, which looks the same.
For analogue signals, the measuring takes place
in dBµV or dBm together with a C/N figure.
Additionally, you can test external devices
like LNBs and multiswitches. If problems with
cross-polarisation occur, in most cases this
is caused by miss-configuration caused by
not using proper measuring equipment.
Use the SDA-5 to reach a perfect offset
for your LNB. For analogue channels, a
quick glimpse of the screen will do a lot.
But for digital signals this is impossible.
There is only one way to measure the quality of
digital signals: facts and numbers. Good measur-
ing with good measuring equipment is the answer.
A simple signal strength measuring tool won’t
help. It is the very strength that doesn’t say much
about the digital quality of it. For digital signals,
the quality is measured in BER (Bit Error Rate),
before and after Viterbi. You will need a tool like the
SDA-5 from Digisky for real professional instal-
lations and measuring. A perfect BER depends
on the size of the dish, LNB and cable lengths
and quality of the multiswitches in between. This
Digisky will continuously show this figure.

DVBeam IP Card
Teleworking has been some kind of utopia for
many years. Geographically separated offices
only could communicate using expensive
data lines, using low data rates and being
only suitable for slow traffic. For larger files
good old snail mail was just the answer. And
although video conferences has been around
for many years now, most of the time it is based
on ISDN lines, with a maximum of 128Kb (at
double rate.) For data-intensive requirements,
such as for instance an advertising agency
wanting to show their latest commercial, it
is far too slow. And another problem is the
absolute lack of compatibility between the

(e.g. Western Europe), so that the card knows
which TV systems to use (in our case PAL B,
D, G, H and I). That’s about all the setting up
that’s needed. No matter if you use the card for
your big screen home cinema or your 14-inch
PC monitor (while working with other applica-
tion), the video quality is very good and there are
no distortions, not even in full-screen mode.
Up to 64 channels can be previewed in small
windows, so it’s the ideal tool for the notorious
zapper. Thanks to the composite and Y/C input
jacks external signals can be displayed, a freeze
frame can be created or screen shots can be stored
on the hard disk. Furthermore, the Ulead Video
Studio 3.0 software is included, which allows you
to professionally work with your images, cut your
own movies and create whole video sequences with
text or graphics. So in essence, you get a profes-
sional video machine in addition to the TV card.
Dubbing and a range of 100 digital video effects are
also included. The software alone is worth every
cent of the retail price of approximately EUR115.
Terra TV+ PCI Stereo TV Card
The PC card for TV reception introduced here
supports only terrestrial signals. However, we

quality of the card that the most urgent ques- This is the
tion was “why is there no similar card for satellite
reception?” The answer is that a satellite receiver
card is in the making, but the exact schedule of
introduction is not available yet. So this report can
also be seen as preview of good things to come.
With the Terra TV+ card usability is no empty
promise: even the system requirements are
extremely consumer friendly. With a 90-MHz PC
all features can be used and expensive upgrad-
ing is unnecessary. Windows 95 or 98 are a
must, plus—of course—a PCI 2.2 card slot. A
free interrupt should also be available, but unless
your PC is really crammed with extras, this should
pose no problem. (While PCI cards in theory are
able to share interrupts, this may not always be
the case with up-to-date graphics cards, so it’s
advisable to have a spare interrupt available.)
The software comes on CD ROM, so a CD ROM
drive is also necessary for installation, and in
order to enjoy stereo sound active loudspeak-
ers should be connected to the sound card.
For the graphics display a standard PCI or AGP
VGA video card will do as long it supports Direct

the user’s manual includes a comprehensive list
of compatible cards. From ATI (Mach3/Rage) and mountaineering!
Hercules to Dynamite 128 and Voodoo Rush, all
major video cards will operate flawlessly with the
Terra TV+ card. After the card is installed your
Windows PC will automatically detect the new
hardware and start the installation procedure
from the included CD ROM. In case the automatic
installation does not work owing to system conflicts,
the user’s manual features a detailed step-by-step
guide to manual installation. In case DirectX is not
installed, the CD ROM has all the necessary drivers.
The card is connecting to the outside world through
quite a few sockets. A standard antenna plug is
used for the signal input from a terrestrial antenna
or cable network. In case the input comes from a
VCR or camera, there’s a phono jack which serves
as video input. An additional jack for Y/C signals is
included so that the excellent quality of this signal
can actually make it right onto the screen. External
audio signals can be fed in; the sound can either
be output to a pair of active loudspeakers or to the
PC’s sound card (a connection cable is included.) Want More? Free Time Travel 10 Years Back:
