Not important to DVB-S2X, but in that document the very first sentence is incorrect:

"Beyond four times (4K) the resolution of High Definition (HD) video, true Ultra HD (UHD) delivers a more immersive.."

I thought that's what 4K meant too at first, but it actually has to do with the horizontal resolution being approximately 4,000 pixels.

"4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a horizontal display resolution of approximately 4,000 pixels." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution

4K resolution is actually about 2x the resolution of HD. 3,840×2,160 vs 1,920×1,080

I just emailed the above to Newtec (sales email is what was listed so who knows if it will help).

Hi All,

It seems like DATV on a future IARU Region 2 GEO Hamsat might be incorporating the DVB-S2X standard.

This whitepaper by Newtec is an easy read to explain the concepts involved.
