The flexible headend systems

| ideal for any application

Innovative and versatile

The TDX and TDH 800 headend systems from TRIAX have turned everything in the headend world on its head.
The market-leading IP-pool technology from TRIAX radically simplifies the construction and management of
headends. This technology makes the input and output modules mutually independent.
All input signals, regardless of whether they are received via satellite, terrestrial, cable, audio/video or via the
Internet (depending on headend type), can be flexibly and independently distributed from a “pool” to each
and every output module. Each of these input signals can be converted to any output signal: PAL, QAM,
COFDM or IP (depending on headend type), and because the input signals are not fixed to any
particular outputs, an input signal can be assigned to several output modules. The range of options
leaves no wish unfulfilled.

So, whether you want to provide smaller residential

facilities with television or want to provide a much
larger districts with IP-television - with the two
TRIAX Headends TDX and TDH 800 you
are prepared for all eventualities.

- quite simply a revolution

 User-friendly technology
„„ Fully configurable: all implementation variants are possible with
significantly fewer modules than a standard headend, thereby
reducing costs for acquisition, service and warehousing
„„ Browser-based user interface configuration without additional
software than the Silverlight plug-in, in your browser
„„ Infinite variety of programs thanks to the revolutionary IP-pool
technology, that makes these two headends uniquely flexible,
efficient and economical

Future-proof
„„ IPTV offers video on demand, time-shifted television,
many additional services for hoteliers, trade shows
and much more (TDX)
„„ No re-programming of the TV sets when a channel changes
„„ Energy-saving and durable

Perfect service for installers

„„ New modules are automatically recognized and configured
„„ No downtime for TV customers, as modules can be replaced
during operation (hot swap)
„„ Supplied ready to fit in the desired configuration
„„ Halved installation times due to easy programming and
elaborate system properties
„„ Support remote access for service and support as configuration
changes for example

Invest in technology that already meets the digital demands and requirements of tomorrow, such as HD, MPEG 4,
CI/CAM, transport stream processing (MUXing, NIT, PID, stuffing). Put your money in a system that merges the high-
est level of efficiency with reliability, and benefit from the advantages provided by one of Europe’s
largest manufacturers of headends. The innovative pool technology is an integral part of both the TDX and TDH 800
headend systems. With TRIAX you can always rely on fast customised assistance and consultancy for
tendering, planning, installation, configuration and maintenance.

TDX Modules
| IP technology & software

TRIAX TDX-headend technology that is oriented towards

the needs of users. All incoming signals initially enter the
IP-Pool.
As a result, this technology allows unlimited possibilities
to multiplex the services for each output modulation and
to use simultaneously one service for different modu-
lation types. All assignments between input to output sig-
nals can be readily changed at any time. This makes TDX
uniquely flexible, efficient and economical.

TRIAX IP BACKEND
Triax IP backend is an output module for transmission of
digital video, audio and miscellaneous data, encapsulated
within one or more MPEG2/DVB single program trans-
port streams. Besides the backend module the package
consists
of a AUX-TS-Loop module and a SFP RJ45 (small form
factor pluggable) module
Features:
„„ • IP transmission of up to 96 MPEG2/DVB SPTS.
„„ • Configurable ratio of 3-7 TS packets / MTU.
„„ • Configurable output priority for each output SPTS.
„„ • RTP option.
„„ • 2 x CI slots complying to EN 50 221. Art. No Type

The TDX IP pool technology enables output of

the existing services in the pool with different
output modulation forms.
As a result, the hardware can be minimized
because each transponder is received only
once. This provides the TDX as an optimal
solution for the simultaneous transmission
of analogue and digital services in a CATV
network. The high signal-to-noise ratio allows Analogue TV

support of large networks with multiple

IPTV as a
distribution technology
In closed buildings, there is a growing require-
ment for distribution of TV signals over CAT 5
cables. This requires a headend to receive the
signals and transform them into IP services and
also a
middleware to administrate the IP receivers.
