Annex B, Technical Specification). The unit can provide dc power and polarisation switching to the LNB.

1.3.3What the Satellite Receiver Does

The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and polarisation. The input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to provide an L-band input to the Receiver. The front-end tuning is microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesised local oscillator. A software tuning and acquisition algorithm resolves translation errors (mainly due to the LNB).

The signal is then passed to a demodulator that recovers the signal using soft-decision decoding. The resulting stream is Reed-Solomon decoded and descrambled to provide inputs to the Decoder circuit. The received channel may contain multiple services, therefore the Receiver’s demultiplexer is configured to select a single video service and other audio/data components and present them at the output.

Introduction

1.3.4Over-air Software Download (TANDBERG Director Systems)

The TT1260 Satellite Receiver is shipped with the appropriate software installed, but it is designed to allow replacement of this code by new versions of software transmitted over-air. The new code is downloaded as a background task in the same transport stream as used for the normal transmission of services.

Figure 1.5 shows the system required for this function. The existing software continues to function during the download process. Once all the new code has been received, installed and validated, it is loaded into the active memory and becomes the operating software for the Receiver.

Introduction

1.4.2Input Connections

The Decoder has the following inputs:

Two ASI copper interfaces for operation up to 160 Mbit/s for 188 byte packets and 160 Mbit/s for 204 byte packets.

1.4.3What the Decoder Does

The ASI interfaces are used to present the transport stream in the format required by the internal Decoder circuitry. At this point, the operation of the unit is the same as the Satellite Receiver.

The Decoder can be used to receive an input signal from a Public Telecom Network via a Network Adapter Unit (NAU). No error correction is supported at the input of the unit so a level of Quality of Service should be negotiated with the Telecom Network Provider.

The Decoder is configured to select a single video service and other audio/data components from the multiple services on the incoming transport stream and present them at the output.

1.5TT1260 Control Modes

1.5.1Introduction

The TT1260 is designed for unattended operation. Once set-up, the unit requires no further attention except to ensure the fan is working. There are up to three control modes associated with the Receiver (dependent upon options fitted). The unit remains in the chosen control mode until another mode is requested.

NOTE…

Local (Front Panel) Control is the factory default if TANDBERG Director is not installed.

SAVE

Figure 1.8: Front Panel States

1.5.3Serial Remote Control Mode

The unit enters this state when the RS232/RS485 REMOTE port receives a configuration change command or the Remote control mode is selected in the System Menu (#6); see Section C.9, System Menu. During this state, local commands are ignored. When a modem is connected to the connector at the rear panel, it must be set to run at 9600 baud.

1.5.4TANDBERG Director NCP Control Mode

With the VideoGuard Conditional Access software installed and a valid Smart Card inserted, a TT1260 Satellite Receiver can be put into Director NCP control mode.

NOTE…

Front Panel mode is the factory default for Receivers used in a TANDBERG Director system. To switch to Director NCP mode refer to Section 3.8, Setting Up a System.

All Front Panel and Serial Remote commands are ignored except the operating mode. The TT1260 can be put into a local lockout condition. When in this condition, there are two ways to recover control:

Cancelling the local lockout using an over-air command.

Entering a PIN number via the Conditional Access menu in Menu #4.3.6 (see Section C.7.3, Director Menu).

Either of these actions will put the Receiver out of local lockout mode.

Introduction

1.6Guided Tour

1.6.1Construction

The TT1260 is constructed using a screened self-ventilated modular system; all operational inputs and outputs are via rear-panel connectors. The unit may be operated freestanding or mounted in a 19-inch rack.

1.6.2Front Panel Controls

The physical interface for the Front Panel consists of an alphanumeric LCD display, pushbuttons, and status LEDs that are used to set up and monitor the unit. The general layout is shown in Figure 1.9. Information on the use of these controls is given in Chapter 3, Operating the Equipment Locally.

User input is via six pushbuttons comprising four cursor pushbuttons: LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN; and two edit control pushbuttons: EDIT and SAVE.

Each pushbutton has an integral green LED except SAVE, which has an integral red LED. When lit these LEDs indicate to the user which pushbutton is currently active.

Automatic repeat following an initial delay period is implemented for the LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN pushbuttons in software.

1.6.3Front Panel LEDs

Figure 1.9 shows the location of the LEDs on the front panel. The LEDs indicate the equipment status as follows:

The red ALARM LED is used to indicate an IRD fault condition, e.g. a missing or faulty input signal. It should be off for correct operation, although it may be lit briefly during power-up.

The green LOCK LED is used to indicate that the IRD is locked to a transport stream when lit, and indicates correct conditions and correct system functioning.

1.6.4Bit Error Ratio Measurement

Bit Error Ratio (BER) measurement is done by an LCD display representation. See the QPSK Satellite menu (Section C.5, Input Status Menu).

Introduction

1.6.5Conditional Access and Scrambling Options

VideoGuard Director

There is a slot on the rear panel to allow the insertion of a Conditional Access (CA) card for the VideoGuard Director CA system.

Remote Authorisation System (RAS 1)

With the appropriate configuration, the TT1260 fully descrambles Remote Authorisation System (RAS) input transport stream. The ability to decrypt all the components in any other transport stream is a function of the specific CA system decryption.

Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS)

With the appropriate configuration, the TT1260 fully descrambles the BISS mode-1 or mode-E input transport stream. This system has been developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as an open scrambling system.

BISS has five main levels of operation: Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode-E

BISS Mode 0 corresponds to no scrambling.

BISS Mode 1 operation uses a fixed value for the control word to scramble the services in the transport stream from the Encoder. To descramble the transmission, the TT1260 needs to have the matching control word value.

BISS Mode E operation uses a fixed value for the control word to scramble the services in the transport stream from the Encoder. To descramble the transmission, the TT1260 needs to have the matching control word value.

BISS Modes 2 and 3 are not supported at this release.

1.6.6Rear Panel

Inputs and outputs to the unit are taken via the rear panel. Figure 1.10 shows a typical Decoder rear panel.
