15.2 S2 Extensions
Newtec also introduces a new modulation technology that outperforms the existing DVB-S2
standard. This new technology is called S2 Extensions and when combined with CCT it delivers
gains up to 37% compared to standard DVB-S2 modulation.
The main features of the new technology are:
• Finer MODCOD granularity: there are 87 MODCODs (compared to the 28 MODCODs in
DVB-S2);
• Better MODCOD performance: FEC codes and modulations have been redesigned in order to
improve the performance of the existing DVB-S2 MODCODs;
• Optimization for linear and non-linear satellite links: Two sets of MODCODs are available:
