56 TELE-audiovision International — The World‘s Leading Digital TV Industry Publication — 03-04/2015 —
test meter came with stand-
ard configuration which offers
the following specifications:
- DVB-C
- DVB-T/T2
- DVB-S/S2
- MPEG2/4 SD/HD
- DVB-CI (card reader)
- FM
- HDMI-OUT
- ASI IN/OUT
- ETHERNET
- OPTICAL (option to con-
nect an external signal con-
verter for fibre-optic infra-
structure)
Alternatively, the Spaun
Sparos 711 is available as a
Light, Professional or Pre-
mium model, the latter be-
ing characterised by a built-in
GPS module. No matter which
model you select, there is
always the option of adding
DAB+ and/or Wi-Fi function-
ality, if required.
Four virtual keys are avail-
able and can be used by tap-
ping them on the screen:
HOME, SAVE, LNB/DiSEqC
and TV.
Touching the HOME button
brings you right to the main
menu, where you can access
and change all options and
parameters.
The SAVE button is availa-
ble in all screen modes and ei-
ther saves the current meas-
urement result or creates and
copies a screenshot.
The LNB/DiSEqC button is
just as self-explanatory and
calls up a menu that allows
you to activate and control
supply voltage and DiSEqC-
compatible switches. As far
as DiSEqC is concerned, the
Spaun Sparos 711 supports
the 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 proto-
cols. Unfortunately, however,
DiSEqC 1.2 compatibility only
goes as far as GOTO X com-
mands, which are required for
calling up satellite positions
that are stored in the DiSEqC
motor. This makes fine-tuning
with a DiSEqC 1.2 motor a lit-
tle cumbersome, because the
motor needs to be addressed
and controlled separately.
It goes without saying that
An installer arriving at their customer’s place with
this transport case will be greeted with the respect a
professional deserves.
