Description

Adaptive Broadband SDM-2020 Satellite Modulator EIA-422/530 ASI 1U Rackmount SW 8.1.3

Satellite modulator designed for DVB-S signal generation and ASI stream processing in broadcast and telecom environments. Routes and modulates satellite data streams for transmission.

Specifications & What's Included

  • Model: SDM-2020M | Software: v8.1.3
  • Form Factor: 1U Rackmount
  • Power: 100–240V AC, 50–60Hz
  • Interfaces: EIA-422/530 (DB-25), ASI In/Out (4x BNC), RF Output (BNC)
  • Remote & Fault: RS-232 (J1, J2)
  • Front Panel: LCD, navigation buttons, status indicators (Power, Sync, Transmitter, Alarms)
  • Unit only — no cables or accessories included

Applications

Satellite modulators serve broadcast contribution networks, teleport operations, and DVB-S distribution chains. The SDM-2020 accepts ASI streams and EIA data, modulating to RF for satellite uplink. Commonly deployed in master control environments, remote broadcast facilities, and international telecom infrastructure supporting legacy and current-generation satellite platforms.

Condition: Used
This Adaptive Broadband SDM-2020 satellite modulator powers on and the front-panel LCD display confirms software version 8.1.3. We were not able to test it further beyond power-on, so its full operational status is not confirmed. The unit is in good cosmetic shape — the chassis, front panel, and indicators show only typical light wear consistent with normal rack use. The rear panel connectors (ASI inputs, EIA-422/530, ASI outputs, CP1 TX/RF, RS-232 remote and fault ports, and IEC AC inlet) all appear clean and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
