There are days when technology takes a step back to make room for what truly matters: people. That was the case at the 3rd edition of Family Days at Televes Corporation, a very special day when we opened our doors (and our hearts) to those who accompany us beyond the workplace: our families.

Recently held at our facilities, this event has become one of the most moving moments of the year. A day where children, parents, partners, and friends explored the spaces where we drive innovation every day and saw firsthand the real impact of our work.

Beyond guided tours and fun activities, what truly stood out was something deeper: the shared pride of being part of a technological, global, and profoundly human project. That pride can’t be explained in an organization chart, but it’s felt in every conversation, in every gesture.

Thank you to everyone who makes Televes Corporation much more than just a group of companies. Thank you for reminding us that behind every advancement, there’s always a story that starts at home.

What you experience on the day is something deeper: the shared pride of being part of a technological, global and deeply human project.

On July 8, 2025, the historic Aalto Theatre in Essen, Germany, hosted the Red Dot Design Award ceremony, one of the most prestigious design events in the world, often compared to the Oscars of cinema. More than 1,200 prominent figures from the industry gathered in this iconic venue to celebrate creative excellence in products, communication, and concepts.

Among this year’s winners, Televes was recognized in the Communication Technology category for outstanding design and technological innovation in our TV distribution product family. Carlos Rodríguez, Chief Strategy Officer at Televes Corporation, accepted the award on behalf of the company.

The gala, presided over by the award’s founder, Professor Dr. Peter Zec, featured trophy presentations by the jury, emotional speeches, global media coverage, and a cultural performance by the Aalto Ballet Theatre accompanied by music from Carmen. The evening concluded with the traditional Designers’ Night, an exclusive exhibition of winning products at the Red Dot Design Museum, located in the former Zollverein coal mine.

After accepting the award, Carlos Rodríguez thanked the combined efforts of the Televes team and the strategic collaboration of the Swedish design studio No Picnic.

This award strengthens our commitment to design as a driver of innovative, well-built solutions that make an impact.

Our commitment to providing high-quality technical information and global product standardization is reinforced with the adoption of ETIM 10.0, available in our digital catalogs in BMEcat and FAB-DIS formats. This upgrade delivers significant improvements in classification, classes, attributes, and technical values, ensuring interoperability with distribution and specification channels that adopt these standards.

Until now, we have worked with versions 8 and 9, but with the arrival of ETIM 10.0, we will permanently phase out version 8 while maintaining version 9 for at least one more year to ensure full compatibility for distributors at different stages of digitalization.

Version 10.0 will be available with the launch of the new 2026 digital catalog, scheduled for Q4 2025.

Our T.0X series of transmodulators is known for its flexibility, particularly when it comes to configuring the transmodulator ref. 565401, which can generate 2 COFDM or QAM multiplexes from 4 DVB-S, DVB-S2, or DVB-S2X transponders.

This configuration is always done through a highly intuitive web interface, which can be accessed in two ways:

• Connect an Ethernet cable to one of the two RJ45 connectors and access the interface from a computer on the same subnet as the module. This is the default option and the recommended method for initial setup, as it provides the fastest connection speed.
• Use a Wi-Fi adapter (such as ref. 216802) plugged into the microUSB port to create a Wi-Fi network from the module, then connect to it and use the generic URL to access the interface. This alternative is quick and convenient because it doesn’t require knowing the module’s network settings. It also allows configuration from any Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Although this method offers lower connection speed, it’s much more practical for performing maintenance and quickly reviewing all module parameters.

After logging in, you can access the interface and begin editing parameters. Changes must be saved every time you switch menus; a floating button will remind you by turning orange whenever you make changes.

The main menus you’ll have access to are:

Status

This general screen displays the operating status of all parameters using traffic light-style indicators: green for “OK,” orange for “value at limit,” and red for “error.” It shows the occupancy rate, active and locked inputs, the CAM MMI menu, and a list of TV services with their status.

Configuration

This section includes the following submenus:

Input. Allows you to assign each of the four demodulators to either of the two coaxial inputs and choose whether to configure it as dCSS or with standard frequencies (real or IF). Within each input (A, B, C, or D), you can select the desired modulation and parameters. You can also check all available services in each satellite transponder.

Output. This lets you select the TV services you want on each output frequency and then edit aspects of the output modulation if needed. Remember that this module can modulate in QAM (Annex A) or COFDM.

Using clones is very useful when a service has multiple available audio tracks. By creating a copy of the service for each language and placing it at the desired LCN, you save output space. TVs will detect each clone and place it in the correct position, making it easy to organize TV services by language and group them consecutively, which is very intuitive for end users.

Network. Includes IP network settings for the module itself, enabling you, for example, to assign each connector to a different network. If you lose access credentials for a module, we recommend using the Hey software for identifying IP equipment (ref. 100010) or the Wi-Fi adapter (ref. 216802) to locate the current network configuration.

Headend. Each module can be configured independently, but it’s much easier to create a headend with similar modules connected on the same subnet. In this setup, one module can be designated as the master, allowing you to control all others from it. Once the headend is created, you can access each module via the tab labeled with its IP address.

The previously mentioned menus (Status, Input, etc.) can then adjust the corresponding parameters in all modules quickly.

Under “Services,” you’ll find a list of services from all modules in the headend. You can sort them by indicator, change LCNs, and group channels by language to maintain a consistent order throughout the entire headend.
