network interface, a 24-volt
input as well as a multidigit
LCD display that shows sta-
tus information.
An HDMI output, a Scart
jack or RCA jacks that you

since it simply would make
no sense to have them given
the application of this receiv-

technical datasheet reveals
its baseline data: it’s a DVB-
S/S2 receiver that supports
the QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK
and 32-APSK modulations.

On the front panel you’ll

can also be supplied with
power via the Ethernet cable
(
Power over Ethernet) as
long as the available net-
work hardware supports this
function. Especially when
more than one DTE-3137
will be used, the user can
avoid having to use external
24-
volt power supplies. Of
course, a power supply is in-
cluded in the package since
Power over Ethernet is not
available in every network.
The manufacturer states
that the DTE-3137 uses a
maximum power of 17 watts
and, as is typical with pro-
fessional equipment, there’s
no standby mode. The hard-
ware is designed such that it
can run 24/7.
In addition to the DTE-
3137
and the power supply,
the manufacturer also in-
cluded in the package a USB

The built-in tuner receives
signals in the 950 to 2150
MHz range with symbolrates
from 2.0 to 40 Ms/sec. The
manufacturer reports the in-
put sensitivity to be from -30
to -60 dBm and, of course,
all the necessary parameters
needed to receive a satellite
signal (13/18V control volt-
age, 22 kHz signal) are also
supported.
