HD RANGER 2
The HD RANGER 2 optical option is a versatile 2-in-1 tool: a selective Optical Power Meter and a selective Optical-to-RF converter. It is worth mentioning the triple optical filter (1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm) integrated in the optical module, which allows you to work simultaneously with several wavelengths, thus covering many more applications than with other meters.
The RF signal at the converter output can be analysed, measured and decoded by the meter as one would usually do with any DVB or Analog TV&Satellite signal over copper wires.
1. Check which wavelentghs, 1310, 1490 or 1550 nm are active in your system
2. Select the wavelength to be converted into RF 3. The built-in 15 dB RF attenuator can be set to ON at the output of the headend or at the antenna and OFF in the building.
4. Select the RF band (terrestrial/satellite) and polarity (high/low, vertical/horizontal) to work with.

19 Rack versions
Available for HD RANGER 2 and HD RANGER +
Both HD RANGER 2 and HD RANGER + are available in 19 rack mounting formats. This is specially interesting in applications such as permanent monitoring or SNG vans where all the equipment is contained in a 19 rack frame.
DVB-S2 multistream
Working with multi transport stream transponders
Advanced modulation techniques allow you to aggregate several independent transport streams into one single RF carrier. Selecting a specific TS is easy with your HD RANGER 2 using the ISI Filtering function. This feature is available for DVB-S2, T2 and C2.

Datalogger wizard
Configuring Datalogger and installations easily
Datalogger configuration is usually the less automated part of operating a datalogger and it is the main source of user errors. HD RANGER 2 includes a configuration wizard that helps you complete this process fast and easy.
Automatic Datalogger
Running automatic data acquisition
The datalogger can perform channel power, carrier/noise, BER and MER measurements automatically. It can also save information from the NIT table such as the network name or even the SID and names of the services in the mux under test. All this information is saved inside the meter and can be copied to a USB memory or to a PC for further processing later on.
