Abstract: An apparatus for capturing video broadcasting signals comprises a plurality of capture channels, each channel producing respective video transport streams as inputs to a multi-channel virtualization module. Each channel comprises: an input interface powered by a low-noise power supply arranged to receive a respective modulated video broadcasting input signal within an input frequency band; a single input, dual output distribution amplifier arranged to produce first and second amplified input signals within a satellite broadcasting frequency band and within a cable and/or terrestrial broadcasting frequency band, respectively. A first tuner is configured to receive and downconvert the first amplified input signal to generate a first baseband signal; a second tuner is configured to receive and downconvert the second amplified input signal to generate a second baseband signal; and a demodulator is configured to receive the baseband signals as input and to generate the respective video transport stream.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus comprising an electronic board on which are placed an electronic subassembly and a filtering unit, the analog subassembly comprising one or more radiofrequency analog components for receiving radiofrequency components is proposed. The analog subassembly is protected by shielding placed on one side of the electronic board, the filtering unit is placed on the side of the electronic board on a signal path electrically connected to the analog subassembly, the filtering unit comprises a capacitive component placed under the shielding and connected to an analog ground, and the filtering unit further comprises a filtering component placed on the input to the filtering unit in series with the signal path on passing through the shielding or in the immediate vicinity of the shielding.

Abstract: A data communication method is proposed which comprises: configuring a first application interface coupled operationally to a data storage management interface, for defining a correspondence between an application data message and a memory addressing zone managed by the data storage management interface; generating a data storage command on the basis of the memory addressing zone and the application data message; and issuing, by the first application interface, the data storage command message to the data storage management interface for sending the application data message to a second application interface, through the data storage management interface.
