Silicon labs Video Demodulators Superset code

This repository contains the SILABS_SUPERSET source code used to build DTV frontend applications using Silicon Labs DTV demodulators.

This code can be used to support any configuration using the API-controlled Silicon Labs DTV demodulators.

Refer to [https://github.com/SiliconLabs/video_si21xx_superset/blob/master/SILABS_SUPERSET/Si2183/Doc/USING_SILABS_SUPERSET.pdf for details related to this code.

Supported SAT Tuners

This code supports several SAT tuners, such as

  • AV2012
  • AV2018
  • MAX2112
  • NXP20142 (refer to NXP to get the underlying driver)
  • RDA5812
  • RDA5815
  • RDA5815S
  • RDA16110
  • RDA5815M
  • RDA16112

  • RDA16110D
  • RDA16110E
  • RDA5816SD
  • RDA16110SW

Additional SAT tuners can be supported via the CUSTOM_SAT wrapper

(SAT) Supported LNB controllers

This code supports several LNB controllers tuners, such as

  • A8293
  • A8297
  • A8302
  • A8304
  • LNBH21
  • LNBH25
  • LNBH26
  • LNBH29

Additional LNB controllers can be supported using one of the above examples

(SAT) Unicable support

This code supports Unicable I as well as Unicable II.

The automatic installation phase in Unicable II is something we can’t support, because it requires reading 5 DiSEqC bytes, and our HW only allows reading 3 DiSEqC bytes.

This seems like a big issue, but EN 50607 (i.e. Unicable II specification) specifies that ‘The satellite receiver shall always allow to manually enter the UB-ID and UB-frequency’ No SIFC (i.e. DiSEqC read) capability is required. The above means that HW compatible with Unicable I can also handle Unicable II with no HW change.
