MAX SX8 DVB-S/S2/S2X Card

MAX SX8 DVB-S/S2/S2X PCIe tuner Card

The Digital Devices MAX SX8 is a tuner card with 8 HDTV tuners on a single card with a PCIe connector.
The high density of the design and the choice to select the operating mode, as well as Unicable®1 and JESS®2 support and only 7 watt power consumption, make the card ideal and flexible for DVB-S/S2/S2X applications.
