What is Unicable® and JESS®?
Unicable®/JESS® is a standard for single-cable distribution of satellite signals. It enables multiple receivers to be supplied via a single coaxial cable. This is achieved through the use of special LNBs (Low Noise Block Converters) and multiswitches that process the signals in such a way that multiple receivers can use them independently. JESS® (Jultec Enhanced Stacking System) is an extension of the Unicable® standard and offers additional functions and higher capacity. Unicable® II provides the same functionality as JESS® and is also standardized according to EN50607.

Digital Devices Max M4 Multituner TV Card - the all-rounder for satellite, cable or terrestrial reception
A 4-fold multi-band tuner HD TV Card / Tuner Card for the PCIe Slot for the following reception types:
DVB-S(satellite tuner)
DVB-S2 (satellite tuner)
ISDB-S (satellite tuner)
DVB-C (cable tuner)
DVB-C2 (cable tuner)
ISDB-C (cable tuner)
J.83 (cable tuner)
DVB-T(terrestrial tuner)
DVB-T2 (terrestrial tuner)
ISDB-T (terrestrial tuner)
The Digital Devices Max M4 is a multi-tuner TV card. It has the capabilities of digital reception for satellite (DVB-S / S2 / ISDB-S), cable (DVB-C / C2 / ISDB-C / J.83) or terrestrial (DVB-T / T2 / ISDB-T).
The reception of SD to Ultra HD modulated channels on the transponders of the provider is no problem for the M4. Due to the low power consumption of ~ 7 watts, the card works very economically. The Max M4 Multituner card comes in Full Profile Format (full height) with corresponding bracket.
The choice of reception is done dynamically. The Max M4 has four individual front ends, depending on the tune request, the card switch automatically to a free cable, satellite or terrestrial tuner. Through the dynamically switching, a reprograming of the receiving mode during operation is not needed. Thus a DVB-C or DVB-T2 connection can be used for bad weather alternative with disturbed SAT reception, in order to keep a running operation.
Receive stations from different sources, such as SAT and terrestrial, without investing in different receiving systems. If not only satellite, but also cable TV should to be received at a location(for example for local channels), this is now possible without any problems with the Max M4.
For operation with a standard satellite receiving system (star cabling), you need a cable for each DVB-S tuner to the Max M4, thus also the card can be used with full DiSEqC support. Likewise, the use of Unicable I (EN50494) and Unicable II / JESS (EN50607) systems is easily possible. To supply the individual SAT tuners with a Unicable signal, the SAT inputs of the card are connected to the Unicable system by a Unicable splitter.
For operation on a cable provider or terrestrial antenna, only one cable from the DVB-C wall socket or antenna is needed. The signal is internally distributed to the tuner, thus no splitter parts are needed.(IEC adapter to F socket for connection to antenna or BK system included in the scope of delivery)
In the field of data analysis, you now receive the data from one source from different reception types, e.g. Advertising analysis, time offset, data rate of individual transmissions. Also the dynamic switching of the required reception type offers advantages, becuase a changing is immediately possible.
The hardware design of the card allows an operation in the 24/7 envoirement for professional and home use. Thanks to the use of high-quality components, such as ceramic capacitors and the absence of environmentally hazardous substances, the Max M4 ensures a long lifetime even with permanent use of the hardware.
The Digital Devices Max M4 can be extended with an Octopus Single-CI or Octopus Twin-CI card via an additional PCIe slot and of course also other connected Flex-CI modules from Digital Devices can be used.
Drivers for Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 (.1) as well as Windows 10 and Linux.
* 1 Unicable® Requires Unicable® / SCR / CENELEC EN50494 compliant LNB or multiswitch to EN50494* 2 JESS® Requires Jess® / CENELEC EN50607 compliant LNB or multiswitch to EN50607
The current multi tuner Digital Devices MAX M8 Europe TV Card is now available. Designed for the PCI Express slot, it receives satellite, cable, and terrestrial signals with eight independent multi tuners.
Thanks to its compact design, low power consumption, and ability to process both DVB and ISDB signals from satellite, cable, and terrestrial sources, this card offers flexible options on Windows® and Linux.

Driver support for Windows® 7, 8, 10, 11 and Linux
Support for Unicable® and JESS® according to EN50494 and EN50607
An ideal solution for demanding TV and streaming projects, compatible with a variety of TV applications such as:DD-TV | Windows® Media Center | DVBViewer | MediaPortal | VDR | Tvheadend | Cesbo Astra
Supported reception types:
DVB-S (Satellite tuner)
DVB-S2 (Satellite tuner)
DVB-S2X (Satellite tuner)
ISDB-S (Satellite tuner)
DVB-C (Cable tuner)
ISDB-C (Cable tuner)
J.83 Annex B (Cable tuner)
DVB-T (terrestrial tuner)
DVB-T2 (terrestrial tuner)
ISDB-T (terrestrial tuner)
Further details about the reception types can be found in the "Technical Specifications" section.
Use the eight tuners for any reception type or for a hybrid satellite operation in combination with a broadband cable or terrestrial signal.
For operation with broadband or terrestrial signal, only a single signal cable is required.Satellite signal reception is achieved via Unicable on single-cable systems (SCR – Single Cable Routing) and also requires only one cable.
The prerequisite for operating on a satellite system (LNB or multiswitch) is a Unicable®1 (EN50494) or Unicable-II®/JESS®2 (EN50607) system.
Reception of multiple satellites (DiSEqC) is also possible with single-cable systems.
Flexible and Powerful
The MAX M8 enables the parallel reception and processing of multiple TV streams via cable or terrestrial signals. Perfect for demanding TV and streaming applications, media servers, digital video recorders, TV analysis, and much more.
GTL Port for System Integration
The GTL port (20-pin header) allows direct integration of the MAX M8 into existing as well as future Digital Devices systems, ensuring seamless connection with Octopus NET mainboards or the Octopus GTL Bridge for miniPCI Express.
Note:The GTL port is not compatible with older DuoFlex Twin Tuner expansion cards.The Unicable protocol enables up to 8 participants to be supplied via one signal cable. With UnicableII®/JESS®, support for up to 32 participants is possible – provided there are enough tuners available.
