Investing in your future

As important as it is to have a technically superior platform for your networks, as important is the com-mercial platform.

Technology changes and increasing quality require-ments for operators has always been tied to large investments for hardware and infrastructure.

Managing your Head EndYou manage your Head End through the Web interface and can easily manage, monitor and modify functionality anywhere where you have an IP connection, be it in your smart phone, PC or other devices connected to the Internet.

This way of updating existing hardware is cost effective, time saving, environmentally friendly and last but not least it gives you, your subscribers and installers a positive experience of distributed Cable-TV and SMATV.

Future of CHAMELEONNew functions and applications will be developed over time and software updates will be available to you with our support service that will be offered to our customers.

Proof of conceptTo prove to you as a customer how versatile the product is we give all customers a 30 days trial of all released basic software applications for the CHAMELEON. Order the applications you want to keep from us and our distributors and the redundant applications will be shut off automatically after 30 days.

Imagine a product,where you could go from one distribution method to another, just by the click of your computer mouse - this is CHAMELEON, the transforming Head End.

The CHAMELEON will enhance the user experience for any Cable-TV or SMATV operator by its simplicity, flexibility and cost efficiency.

CHAMELEON-ApplicationsApplications needed for your network can be purchased at any time depending of your needs. You might want to start with digital reception and analogue distribution. Any time afterwards you may upgrade to digital distribution.

Create own program packagesCreate your own program packages, decrypt and/or encrypt with your own selectable encryption system. If you prefer to distribute in IP-format through the embedded IPTV streamer it’s just a few mouse clicks away. Distribution in QAM, COFDM or analogue is as easy.

Eco touch

Low energy consumptionWe design all products to generate as little heat as possible. This has positive effects on our environment as well as on the life time.

Ultra long lifeDesigning for long life cycle gives advantages for the environ-ment through less scrap and repairing a product is worthwhileinstead of scrapping if failures occur.

Future proofOne big reason for scrapping equipment is when technologyrequirements changes and the old equipment becomes obso-lete. We have tried to avoid this through making the products open for software upgrades thus enhancing the products functionality over time.

Contribution for each sold unitSometimes words are not enough, sometimes design efforts are not enough, sometimes we need to contribute to those who make a difference to our environment. A2B contributes to environmental projects with a fixed sum for every sold CHAMELEON to protect the worlds wildlife and environment.

The CHAMELEON product line is the first ever to cover almost every need for Cable-TV andSMATV distribution with only one hardware.

The Digital SmorgasbordThe selection of software configurations is extensive and you can pick what you need from our range of software options.

To simplify the choice we have defined products in the shape of functionality packages designed for the most common variants of network solutions.

To the right you can see some of these packages and fea-tures, but remember that there will continuously be new dishes on the CHAMELEON smorgasbord.

Density mattersComplete 200 programs Head end with reception, deco-ding, decryption and modulation of 20 multiplexes in 3 HU 19”.

CHAMELEON – the gifted HE

The CHAMELEON – adapting to the environmentJust as the chameleon adapts its colours to the changing environment, the CHAMELEON product line can be adapted to any forms of receiving, processing and transmitting TV content.

CHAMELEON – Single HW product lineThe trend has finally reached the point where there is a single hardware device that gives you all the opportunities that you can imagine. And despite the versatility of the product you only have to pay for what you need.

CHAMELEON products are SW defined functionalities, all run-ning on the same HW platform. All the software Functionalityof CHAMELEON products can be modified and upgraded, atany time, without changing the installed hardware.

CHAMELEON – “all aboard”The CHAMELEON product line covers the functionality needsfor all types of installations, ranging from single unit stand-alone or SMATV applications to complex head-ends in large CATV networks. Installations can easily be extended, in size by adding more units, and in functionality by adding more SW options.

CHAMELEON - Adapting to your futureOur industry is undergoing an accelerating pace of change and development. To facilitate investment decisions we have developed a platform flexible enough to meet all imaginable requirements, and at the same time make it affordable.

With the CHAMELEON product line, you can adjust the product to your needs and we can adapt the products to new standards and technologies.

CHAMELEON – distributed processingThe CHAMELEON products are multi-functional products, where each unit is capable of all different kinds of processing. This distributed processing architecture will enable you to create any size of installation, and also to extend an install-ation incrementally.
