Installation details
Televés equipment is present in the installation from the same reception of the terrestrial television signal, which is carried out by means of several antennas, among which a DAT HD BossTech stands out, Televés' most advanced digital antenna. The signals are mixed and sent to a single-channel fiber optic headend through an optical transmitter..

Satellite signals are also captured with Televés equipment. In this case it is two parabolas with optical LNB, each of which sends the channels towards the distribution headend.

This headend is a modular device of the Televés T0X type., offering fully digital output. Its management is carried out remotely from the stadium control room. Taking into account the enormous distances to be covered with wiring, An installation with fiber optic infrastructure was chosen both at the entrance and at the exit of the header..

The signals from the cameras distributed throughout the stadium are collected and digitized with Televés modulators., thus being sent to both the main headline and the media platform..

At the header, that offers 18 digital terrestrial television channels (TDT), signals are elaborated and equalized to create a completely digital flow that is distributed throughout the stadium, passing through seven coaxial reconversion and amplification substations. Thus, Users can choose the channel they want in each of the 400 televisions that the venue has.

Signal distribution
The digital stream leaving the headend is transmitted via fiber optics, even to the star center of the stadium's data network, where different equipment is installed, including an IPTV headend and the middleware server for the provision of interactive and Video on Demand services.. Through these devices, the IP signal is distributed to the honorary entrance of the stadium., to the locker rooms, al Partner’s Club, to the suites and private boxes, for a total of 73 televisions where the reception of the IP signal is carried out through the STB2010 HD, also Televés design and manufacturing. The number of televisions will increase in the near future, when others are added 40 more private boxes.
