The current multi tuner Digital Devices MAX M8 Europe TV Card is now available. Designed for the PCI Express slot, it receives satellite, cable, and terrestrial signals with eight independent multi tuners.
Thanks to its compact design, low power consumption, and ability to process both DVB and ISDB signals from satellite, cable, and terrestrial sources, this card offers flexible options on Windows® and Linux.
- Eight multi-standard tuners for simultaneous reception of multiple programs
- PCI Express for fast data transfer rates
- Low power consumption for energy-efficient setups
- Driver support for Windows® 7, 8, 10, 11 and Linux
- Support for Unicable® and JESS® according to EN50494 and EN50607
An ideal solution for demanding TV and streaming projects, compatible with a variety of TV applications such as:
DD-TV | Windows® Media Center | DVBViewer | MediaPortal | VDR | Tvheadend | Cesbo Astra
Supported reception types:
- DVB-S (Satellite tuner)
- DVB-S2 (Satellite tuner)
- DVB-S2X (Satellite tuner)
- ISDB-S (Satellite tuner)
- DVB-C (Cable tuner)
- ISDB-C (Cable tuner)
- J.83 Annex B (Cable tuner)
- DVB-T (terrestrial tuner)
- DVB-T2 (terrestrial tuner)
- ISDB-T (terrestrial tuner)
Further details about the reception types can be found in the "Technical Specifications" section.
Use the eight tuners for any reception type or for a hybrid satellite operation in combination with a broadband cable or terrestrial signal.
For operation with broadband or terrestrial signal, only a single signal cable is required.
Satellite signal reception is achieved via Unicable on single-cable systems (SCR – Single Cable Routing) and also requires only one cable.
The prerequisite for operating on a satellite system (LNB or multiswitch) is a Unicable®1 (EN50494) or Unicable-II®/JESS®2 (EN50607) system.
Reception of multiple satellites (DiSEqC) is also possible with single-cable systems.
Flexible and Powerful
The MAX M8 enables the parallel reception and processing of multiple TV streams via cable or terrestrial signals. Perfect for demanding TV and streaming applications, media servers, digital video recorders, TV analysis, and much more.
GTL Port for System Integration
The GTL port (20-pin header) allows direct integration of the MAX M8 into existing as well as future Digital Devices systems, ensuring seamless connection with Octopus NET mainboards or the Octopus GTL Bridge for miniPCI Express.
Note:
The GTL port is not compatible with older DuoFlex Twin Tuner expansion cards.
The Unicable protocol enables up to 8 participants to be supplied via one signal cable. With UnicableII®/JESS®, support for up to 32 participants is possible – provided there are enough tuners available.
