PLF-300

16 × DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C to 16 × DVB-T/C & IP


Description
The PLF-300 headend from the Pro Line series is an all-in-one solution that is highly advanced and versatile, designed to meet the changing needs of the broadcasting industry. With the capability to receive up to 16 independent satellite (DVB-S/S2), terrestrial (DVB-T/T2), or cable (DVB-C) signals, the device can convert them into 16 DVB-T/C RF output channels while providing 1x Gbit IPTV simultaneously streaming for distributing FTA TV and Radio programs.

For IPTV reception applications, the device can receive up to 128x SPTS or 16x MPTS and convert them to 16 DVB-T/C RF output channels with an extra license. The PLF-300 offers unmatched flexibility with its "pool" technology, enabling users to select any program from any of the 16 x inputs and assign it to any of the 16 x RF + IP outputs.

The PLF-300 is equipped with a powerful CPU (Quad core @ 1.8GHz / 2GB RAM), responsible for controlling the device using Linux OS while providing a friendly and incredibly fast user interface. It can be remotely or locally controlled via Ethernet, adding to the device's ease of use.

The compact 1U rack size of the PLF-300, combined with its advanced features, ensures that the device consumes the minimal rack space while it has the ability to accept dual “hot-pluggable” power supplies, adding an extra level of reliability and redundancy to ensure the device remains operational even in case of a power supply failure.

The PLF-300 can host an IPTV middleware (Fleex Embedded) without the need for any external server, enabling users to control all TV monitors in an installation, including LG, Samsung, Philips, and custom STBs, while offering a wide range of features such as Live TV, Live Radio, Info channels, Cast, Weather, Alarm, EPG, and many more.

Overall, the PLF-300 headend is an innovative and powerful device that provides advanced features and flexibility to deliver high-quality TV distribution. It's a great choice for cable TV companies, IPTV providers, hotels, hospitals, and other similar installations.
