 More products can be combined to a make a complete headend:

 Cascadable inputs and outputs

 Remote powering capabilities
 Compatible with SD and HD, with MPEG2 and MPEG4
 Perfect picture quality thanks to a MER, comparable to premium headend equipment
 Plug&Play thanks to a built-in WebGUI

Typical installation

 Perfect when your TV installation does not have satellite tuners, but you wish to receive

satellite TV.

 Perfect when your TV installation does not support DVB-T2 tuners, but you wish to

receive the newest DVB-T2 signals. See figure 1.

 In existing installation where you want to add a few extra channels from different

sources.

 New installations, where you can use 1 or multiple Universes to setup a complete

network of TV and radio channels. See figures 2 and 3.

 In some countries, the operator does not support CAMs with business-to-business (B2B)

subscriptions. But if that operator allows professional installations, you can use multiple

Universes with business-to-consumer (B2C) subscriptions without driving the costs too

high.

2. BYPASS: to insert a network of existing TV channels (should be blocked with a 75 DC-

blocked resistor when not used)

3. CAM INTERFACE

4. TV OUT: DVB-T or ISDB-T

5. LOOP-THROUGH: to connect to the next Universe INPUT (should be blocked with a 75

DC-blocked resistor when not used)

6. 15 VDC INPUT + POWER LED

7. RESET BUTTON

8. ETHERNET CONNECTOR: WebGUI + IP OUT

9. TUNER LOCK LED: indicates if the tuner is locked. If the LED is blinking, that means the

Connecting the power supply

The Universe works with the supplied adaptor of 15V DC. The power supply can be connected
via the inlet (6) but the Universe can also be powered via the TV OUT (4).

15V DC is also being supplied to the BYPASS (2), which enables 1 power supply to feed more
than 1 unit. Up to 3 Universes can be powered from the same adaptor.
