Smaller, lighter, more powerful…VAROS 106—Combo measuring receiver/TV analyzer.
Welcome to the new, digital world—the VAROS 106, with groundbreaking design, easy operation and all available measurement options.
No other device on its clear display makes such a simple and understandable signal evaluation possible or has implemented so many new and innovative measurement methods. With the integration of some tools, the VAROS 106 supports the local craftsman…It has never been so easy to create a documentation of the measured values for the client and to pass over faultlessly functioning systems.
The VAROS 106 includes as standard equipment a UHD decoder for displaying ultra-high-resolution picture content and the new DAB+ radio. Of course, all SAT CATV and terrestrial signals can also be measured. A measuring receiver for the future-oriented craft.
A common requirement is the documentation of distribution systems. Whether tabular measurement series, screenshots of defect images or long-term measurements: the VAROS 106 can do it …
VAROS 106: Modular and innovative.
The KWS-typical modular device concept was also adopted by the VAROS 106 and leaves room for innovation.
The VAROS 106 is also an investment in the future. Applications that may not play a role today can still be retrofitted in years.
MPEG-H (HEVC)/UHD decoder.
UHD TV is increasingly gaining ground. As with the transition from SD-TV to HD-TV, more powerful compression methods are used. With the new MPEG-H (HEVC)/UHD decoder ultra-high-resolution image content can be displayed.
With this decoder, the VAROS 106 is also capable of displaying all DVB-T2 content. The HEVC standard used in Germany is a further development of the previous standard (MPEG-4). The transmission of Full HD programs via DVB-T2 (Germany) is one of the first distribution channels in which HEVC is used throughout the country in regular operation.
DAB/DAB+.
Digital radio DAB and DAB+ will gradually replace FM. The metrological evaluation, the reading out and the demodulation of the services are standard features of the VAROS 106.
Forward-looking standard: DVB-T2.
The new DVB-T2 differs severely from the DVB-T standard. With DVB-T2 it is now possible to transmit HDTV services. The echo measurement is an important evaluation of the signal reserve.
S/N measurement module.
The evaluated S/N measurement is used to measure the signal-to-noise ratio of an analog CATV channel in accordance with standards. It is possible to safely assess the signal quality of analog TV signals.
Electromagnetic interference measurement (EMI).
Since May 2009, the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) has been testing cable networks for compliance with the maximum permissible limits of interference field strengths. This check is based on legal requirements (SchuTSEV) in order to protect safety-relevant radio frequencies against interference.
Small–Lightweight–Strong: Combo measuring receiver/TV analyzer VAROS 106 Optic.
The future of modern measuring receivers: Optical signal transmission is not only low-attenuation and interference-proof, but in addition to classical measuring techniques also many times over safer and more accurate.
With the VAROS 106 Optic, all measurement parameters are represented by the HF technology in the usual way, optical signals are passed on from a receiver to the HF part of the device. As a result, even a picture control is possible for complete security.
Optical signal transport in SAT systems or CATV networks: The transmission is different but the technical evaluation remains the same. All known measurements can be applied and documented, regardless of whether the feed is made via the optical receiver or the RF input.
The combination test receiver VAROS 106 Optic is also built on a high-quality hardware platform. It differs from the basic unit VAROS 106 by an integrated optical receiver and the CATV frequency extension.
Optical receiver (SC/APC).
The VAROS 106 Optic is equipped as standard with an optical receiver. The following measurements/functions are possible:
Optical signals can also be documented.
Frequency range …
for TV/FM/return channel 5–1,214 MHz.
