DSR 4800/ 4810 Question?

[stoker_x1]

I read the following quote in the 4DTV section.

"They tune standard DVBS mpegII and with a HHD1100 you can also watch 4:2:0 4:2:2 SD and HD".

Is this accurate? I didn't think they could do 4.2.2. Other than azbox what could I buy that does 4.2.2.?

Yes.
I have the Digitrans DTE-7150. Same receiver as the 4810. They do DVB 4:2:0 and 4:2:2, DCII, and with the HDD-1000 decoder, HD of those same formats.

is the HHD1100 some kind of module that you have to install? Google is not helping me much on it.
Thanks,

The HDD-1000 is a standalone decoder which is connected to the DSR-4800/Digitrans via ASI using a BNC cable. It is a separate piece of equipment.

yes its true. I have a 7150 (same thing) and just verified today that it does 4:2:2. Got the GDMX mux on 99W tuned in fine. Wont do HD as is but will do 4:2:2

Hmm, they're not giving those away are they? (Digitrans DTE-7150)

 

[Mr Tony]

not that I'm aware of. I got 2 about 2 months ago and finally got it to work. I learned to slave it to make it work right. Kinda neat to see DVB & DCII on the same receiver (as 91W C-Band has both options)

[Mr Tony]

worked a little more with it and it will do AC-3 in most cases.
Had those DMX stations playing just fine on it

The Digitrans 7150 is a wonderful and very versatile receiver. Pairing it up with an external decoder via the ASI connection greatly increases its capabilities. There is also a 7100, which is the similar to the 7150, but without internal 4:2:2 decoding capability. Functionally, they are basically identical. These units are commonly found in SNG trucks.
