The Digital Devices Max M2 is a multi-standard TV card for the PCI Express slot with two TV tuners.

Compact design, low power consumption and the use of satellite, cable and terrestrial DVB signals characterize the flexible use of the Max M2 card under Windows® and Linux:


  • DVB-S (satellite tuner)
  • DVB-S2 (satellite tuner)
  • DVB-S2X (satellite tuner)
  • ISDB-S (Satellite Tuner)
  • ISDB-S3 (satellite tuner)
  • DVB-C (cable tuner)
  • ISDB-C (cable tuner)
  • J.83 Annex B (cable tuner)
  • DVB-T (Terrestrial tuner)
  • DVB-T2 (Terrestrial tuner)
  • ISDB-T (Terrestrial Tuner)

The card can be used with Windows® 7, 8, 10, 11 and Linux operating systems.


Further information on the respective types of reception can be found in the “Specifications” section.


Use both tuners on the card for any type of reception or one tuner each in satellite mixed operation with a broadband cable or terrestrial signal.


To operate both tuners with a broadband cable or terrestrial signal, only one signal cable must be connected to the card. Receiving satellite signals on both tuners requires two signal lines with a standard signal distribution (twin/quad/octo-LNB or external multiswitch).


Like all Digital Devices products, the Max M2 can also be operated on single-cable systems (SCR – Single Cable Routing). The prerequisite for this is a satellite system (LNB or multi-switch) that works according to the Unicable®1 (EN50494), Unicable-II®/JESS®2 (EN50607) standard.


Notice:
The Unicable protocol offers the advantage of supplying up to 8 participants via one signal cable. With UnicableII®/JESS®, up to 32 participants can be supplied via one signal cable, provided there is a corresponding number of tuners.


Reception from multiple satellites (DiSEqC) is also possible with single-cable systems.


The GTL port (20-pin pin header) on the card ensures that the Max M2 can be used with all existing and future digital devices systems.
The GTL link is established using a data cable, e.g. for connection to the Octopus NET mainboard, as well as to the Octopus GTL Bridge for miniPCI Express.


Notice:
The GTL port cannot be used to connect previous DuoFlex Twin Tuner expansion cards.

Driver support for Windows® 7, 8, 10, 11 and Linux, for the use of numerous well-known TV applications, such as: DD-TV, Windows® Media Center, DVBViewer, MediaPortal, VDR, Tvheadend, etc.

4 Maximum DVB-S2/S2X LDPC bitrate is limited to 720 Mbit/s. This bitrate is defined as symbolrate * bits/symbol, i.e. 8PSK 30 Msymbols = 90 Mbit/s. The used bitrate is dynamically allocated by the driver. DVB-S channels don't contribute to the limit.
