Horizon HD-S2

The all new HD-S2 is the latest generation Meter for the Global uptake of High Definition broadcasts in DVB-S, DSS and DVB-S2 and at an affordable price.

Designed with a generous storage of up to 256 transponders, including the flexibility of 16 user customisable selections for onsite unique carriers. The transmission signals can be isolated with this precise and accurate installation tuner.

As with this type of system, battery supply is important for field and remote locations, so this Meter comes built with a long life high-output Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery pack, supplying 15V DC at 2400 mAh, capable of providing more than 6 hours continuous run time.

Horizon’s menu template of “keep it clear and simple” has continued with this meter, to include features such as Spectrum Display, Constellation Diagrams, Bit Error Rate, Carrier-to-Noise and true MER expressed in dB, all in an intuitive and easy to use format.

The HD-S2 comes as a complete kit with mains charger, car charger and USB cable for data transfer and satellite settings update from the Horizon website
