But that‘s not all. Do you
remember the TELE-audiovi-
sion issues from 12-01/2012
and 02-03/2012? In those
issues I described my idea
of implementing a waterfall
diagram to continuously dis-
play the spectrum for satel-
lite signal analyzers. This
makes it possible to display
the spectrum over a speci-
fied time period so that, for
example, intermittent errors
could be identified. It also
makes it much easier to align
antennas, especially motor-
ized dishes. Suffice it to say
that it‘s thrilling to find this
fun to do this but it also gives

you a feel of how easy it will
be to work with the unit.
But this time it was differ-
ent: I was speechless when
I first saw the S7000. This
unbelievable analyzer can
not only handle your typi-
cal measurements like those
you‘d find in higher-end pro-
fessional units, it also in-
tegrates a complete trans-
port stream analyzer that
provides information on the
entire contents of a received
transponder. All of the pa-
rameters can be displayed -
this type of detail was previ-
function in the S7000.
It also comes as no sur-
prise that measurements
like Echo, Barscan, skew,
constellation diagrams, real-
time spectrum analysis, etc.,
are available in this super
analyzer. Using the S7000
is child‘s play and the user
manual was only needed oc-
casionally to make sure that
none of its functions were
overlooked.
Another surprise in these
tests came from the included
CD. The software on this CD

Satellite Modes
1. The S7000’s Main menu is nicely organized. The function buttons
to the right select the desired mode: cable, terrestrial or SAT (IPTV
optional). The File Manager can also be accessed here. The arrow
buttons are used to switch between measurement, constellation
diagram, spectrum analyzer, Sat Finder and DiSEqC.
2. A push of the SETUP button brings up the correct LNB configu-
ration page.
3, 4, 5, 6. In just 2-3 seconds a signal lock is achieved and all
the reception parameters are displayed. As expected, for digi-
tal signals the measurement screen displays the level, MER and
BER whereby BER is divided into CBER and LBER. BER (Bit Error
Rate) shows the bit error ratio, that is, the number of faulty bits
compared to the number of received bits in the same time inter-
val.
3
Since the received bits go through an error correction process,
professional analyzers display the BER before and after error
correction. Depending on the modulation method, different error
correction algorithms are used. Our modulation table compiles
all of the important details together.
Modulation Table
Modulation Algorithmus Recommended Recommended
of Error Threshold BEFORE Threshold AFTER
Correction Error Correction Error Correction
DVB-S VITERBI CBER = <1E-6 VBER = <1E-8
DVB-S2 LDPC+BCH CBER = <1E-7 PER = <1E-8
DVB-C Reed-Solomon PRE-BER = <1E-6 POST-BER = <1E-8

4
DVB-C2 LDPC+BCH CBER = <1E-7 LBER = <1E-8
DVB-T/H VITERBI CBER = <1E-6 VBER = <1E-8
DVB-T2 LDPC+BCH CBER = <1E-7 LBER = <1E-8
For DVB-S signals, the S7000 shows the BER measurements in

QPSK modulation in CBER (Channel Bit Error Rate – before error
correction) and VBER (Viterbi Bit Error Rate – after Viterbi error
correction). With DVB-S2 signals using 8PSK modulation, BER is
shown as CBER and LBER since in this case LPDC+BCH error cor-
rection is used.
It is extremely helpful to have the BER measurements displayed in
this way in that for one thing you want to receive a signal that is
as error-free as possible and secondly, any errors would be totally
5 corrected by error correction.
The first function button is labeled VIEW. This highlights that these
analyzers were designed by technicians for technicians since with
this button you can switch between measurements whereby the
currently selected measurement is prominently displayed in the
upper part of the screen numerically and as a bar graph. This makes
it easy to read from a distance even when outside working on the
antenna.
We also appreciated some of the smaller details like, for example,
the ability of the S7000 to show the transponder frequency simulta-
neously in satellite IF form and actual downlink frequency. You no
longer have to convert the frequency (for example, the conversion
in the Ku-band with a universal LNB is like this: up to 11700 the
IF = transponder frequency – 9875 and from 11700 and up the IF =
transponder frequency – 10600). We should mention that the trans-
ponder bandwidth is also displayed.

A1/25, an audiophile class tube am-
plifier from Audolici.
Very few will have ever heard of
Audolici, so first a small introduction
to this company. The history begins
with Ukrainian Valeriy Kuchkovskyi
who,back in the days of the Soviet
Union, worked in the Ukraine as an
engineer specialized in tubes. Do you
still know what a tube is, also known
as vacuum valve? These were used
before transistors and transistors
were used before the integrated chips
IC became the norm and are used all
over nowadays.
Early on Valeriy started discovering
the mysteries of audio circuits, espe-
cially the ones using tubes. Instead
of just using well known schematics,
he introduced his own ideas into the
circuits. 15 years ago Valeriy moved
to Portugal and in 2007 he founded
his own company Audolici, in part-
nership with INESC Porto, the Insti-
tute for Systems and Computer En-
gineering of the city of Porto, located
in the upper north of Portugal. Dur-
ing a period of five very productive
years, Audolici not only developed
a variety of tube amplifiers, phono
pre-amplifiers and studio equip-
ment, building up simultaneously a
network of specialized companies to
provide components of the highest
possible quality. The best known Au-
dolici product developed within this
period is the classic AUDOLICI-50
Series, featuring the Jazz, Swing and

Vitor Martins Augusto
You can find quite a bit of infor-

mation on IPTV in the Internet
but it’s often not all that easy to
understand since it can be very
long-winded and complicated and
assumes the reader has some ba-
sic knowledge. One reason for the
difficulty in getting started in this
field is that most of the material
doesn’t have TV installers in mind 1
but rather is more geared towards
network specialists and IT admin-
istrators; two worlds bump into
each other here. Our goal is to save
our TELE-audiovision readers some
time and describe the more impor-
tant points.
Taking the leap into the IPTV world is

made complicated by these keywords:
TCP, UDP, RTP, Multicasting and Uni-
casting. But none of these are really
earth-shattering.

COMPANY REPORT Digital TV Wholesaler, Iceland
Home Electronics
Featuring TVs and Antennas
It was October 2013 when small company Öreind
(www.oreind.is) celebrated 25 years of business. It
takes quite some stamina to surf the wave of success
in the fast-paced TV and antenna business – and an
intuition for doing things right. Öreind (the Icelandic
word for ‘particle’) is basically a two-men business
located in Kopavogur, a suburb of Iceland’s capital
city of Reykjavik. This is where two smart guys laid
the foundation stone of their business, in a place so
far north the sun never sets in summer, but never
fully rises in winter either.
“We’re both repair specialists for TV sets,” says Bal-
dur Sveinnsson, one of the two partners. Both had
been employed by other companies before they de-
cided to set up their own business. “We repair any
home electronics device,” Baldur Sveinsson contin-
ues. “No matter whether it’s a TV panel, audio equip-
ment of any kind or the odd tape-based video record-
er that pops up every once in a while.” Video tapes?
Well, yes! Many people in Iceland still have some old
tapes lying around in their basement, and they need
video recorders in order to watch them. Simple as
that…
The two partners also install antennas and satel-
lite reception systems. “We began to import satel-
lite components from Great Britain and Germany in
1992.” In those early days Öreind sold some 50 to

1. The motorised satellite dish on the roof of Öreind is a 1.5 m antenna which
receives signals from all positions between 28°E and 30°W.
2. View of the storage: Everything you need for installing antennas (left
shelve) as well as satellite dishes in all sizes (right shelve) are always in
stock at Öreind.
3. The choice is yours. 14-element UHF antennas are Öreind’s top sellers,
followed by round dipole antennas for FM radio. But don’t be fooled: A huge
variety of other antennas is available as well for on-the-spot buying.
4. The future is here: Öreind can supply a wide range of IPTV components
such as Ethernet switches.

Necy-xu is General Manager Sales & Marketing and provides
us with a little history about the company: “Prevail was founded
in 2001 by Managing Director Xu Quanhai along with ten other
partners.” The company is in private hands and continues to
manufacture the same product groups that it did at the begin-
ning: fiber optic products, CATV components and accessories
as well as distributors and splitters for coaxial cable lines.
Necy-xu remembers the early days: “In our first year 2001
we had sales of roughly 50 million RMB (5 million Euros) with
about 100 employees. 70% were domestic sales and the rest

1. In the heart of the system: here you’ll find the 19” racks of the
actual transmitters
2. Large dishes, because of their extremely small aperture
angle, constantly need position adjustments. This is taken care
of by this controller. The set points for optimum reception have
been predetermined and with the aid of a beacon receiver the
position of the 9.0-meter antenna can be kept perfect
3. The signals via fiber-optic cable land here: Speedcast takes
the Rede TV and SBT signals and uplinks them to the STARONE
satellite
4. This rack is reserved for EUTELSAT: this is where the dishes
reserved for EUTELSAT are remotely controlled. Speedcast only
makes the space available; all of the work is handled remotely
from the EUTELSAT headquarters in Paris. A small web camera
is pointed at this rack so that technicians in Paris can actually
see what’s going on and advise when something needs to be
changed.
