2.1 Scope of delivery

• 1 × 8PSK/QPSK-COFDM twin module SKT 2-01

• 1 × DC connection cable SKZ 4-00

• 1 × operating manual The remote control and power supply unit are not included in scope of delivery of SKT 2-01. They

are available optionally or integrated in the basic unit of SKS x-xx.

2.2 Description

The SKT 2-01 can either be operated in a head ends basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. The Remux twin transmodular magazines are 8PSK/QPSK converters that convert all programs modulated according to the DVB-S standard in COFDM modulated DVB-T signals. Each magazine has two digital SAT-ZF inputs and two HF outputs. The twin magazines include two ducts working independently from each other. A duct comprises a digital tuner, the digital signal processing and an output modulator.

Duct 1

Fig. 1 SKT 2-01 - front view

The ducts can decode encoded programs using a CA module. The twin magazine programming is realized individually in each duct and via an OSD menu (On Screen Display). Processed input signals are led to the output collection field of the basic units through HF output connectors.

3 Installation and connection

The SKT 2-01 can either be operated in a head ends basic unit SKS x-xx or in stand alone mode. SAT ZF signals of the LNB(s) are either provided through optionally available input distributors, a multiswitch or directly to SAT ZF inputs.

3.1 Installation and connection in a headend base unit

If you want to operate the SKT 2-01 on a head ends basic unit SKS x-xx, plug the twin module into the output collection field 1 and fasten it by screws. Each free slot may be used. The power supply unit SKZ 5-00 or SKZ 6-00 supplies the module via the output connection field.

For detailed information on the headend base unit, refer to whose operating instructions.

Before inserting or changing a module, pull the mains plug of the head ends basic unit from the socket! To avoid dangerous overvoltages, (attention: risk of fire/death), the base plate must be grounded according to EN 50083-1, EN 60728-11:2010.

3.2 Single operation mode of SKT 2-01

Before installing modules, the power supply must be switched off. To avoid dangerous overvoltages, (attention: risk of fire/death), the head-end cassette must be grounded according to EN 50083-1, EN 60728-11:2010. Use the grounding screw attached to the device (see ã in fig. 2 on page 5).

In single operation mode of the SKT 2-01, the power supply is provided by DC injection socket (see 9 in fig. 2 on page 5) . A separate power supply unit SKZ 5-00 is required for it. More units are connected by means of the DC loop-through. One DC connection cable SKZ 4-00 each is included in the scope of delivery of SKT 2-01. Max. 4 pieces SKT 2-01 may be connected together in single operation mode.

Press the VOL  / VOL  keys to select if you want the LNB supply to be switched on or off.

Normal = LNB supply on Power off = LNB supply off

• If a Quattro LNB is connected, at least one

LNB duct must be supplied with power, the others can be switched off. (recommended setting)

• If an input distributor is used, the left duct of the first module on the front left side always is responsible for the power supply of the LNB connected to this input distributor. In this duct, the LNB supply must be set to Normal. All the other SKT 2-01 connected to this input distributor must be set to "No voltage" under LNB supply.

• With the multiswitch, all ducts must be set to "Normal".

MPEG22 SD monitor

Using this setting the SD-program is shown via analogue output, which has been confirmed in channel list by pressing the OK button.

4.5.4 TSId output:

This function is predominantly used with CA modules or in the DVB-T mode.

If the available PIDs of the CA module or the available output data rate in the DVB-T mode are exceeded, the channels of a transponder must be divided. During the search, some receivers skip channels with duplicated TSIds.

A new TSId can be manually assigned to the divided programs by means of the TSId output function. As-delivered, the TSId output is set to Auto, i.e., the receiving transponder passes on the TSId 1 to 1.

If the device is adjusted manually, 1 is assigned to the left channel strip and 2 is assigned to the right channel strip.

Manual setting

You can find the transponder data in lists or special websites (e. g. http://www.lyngsat.com/ europe.html )

This function is only relevant for Austria. This function is used to switch the ORF regional switchover on or off.

LCN (logical channel numbering)

In channel list, programs are numbered continously. This numbers can be edited by the help of the keys in number field of the remote control. With it a new mapping of programs can be done. The end device must support the LCN-function.

Programming

SKT-2-01

For example "BBC" program place LC01, "CNN" program place LC02.

Up to 99 program places can be allocated overlapping the units.

If the allocation shell be deleted, the 0 on the key field of remote control has to be pressed twice. It must be confirmed by the OK button.

Change to the main menu and then to the "Modulator" menu by pressing the menu key.

It is not possible to transmit all programs of a transponder. The number of programms, which can be transmitted depends on the data rate and on the setting in the "Modulator menu" in the item "DVB-T constellation" (see 4.7 Modulator on page 13.).

You should choose max. four programms.

4.7 Modulator

2

Since the data rate changes permanently depending on the content of the image, the rate should not exceed 80%. Otherwise, image interferences such as mosaic pictures may appear.

If the displayed data rate exceeds 80%, there are different possibilities to change it:

• Change to a channel with a bandwidth of 8 MHz if a 7 MHz channel was selected previously.

• Increase the modulation rate to 64 QAM and set the forward error correction to 7/8.

• Reduce the number of selected programs in the channel list.

Select the menu item “Modulator” and confirm with OK.

Fig. 23 Modulator menu

At the bottom of the modulator menu a bar appears after approx. 5 seconds.

The bar shows the work load of the output channel in percent. The work load depends on the selected output channel (7 or 8 MHz), the DVB-T modulation settings, the set error correction rate in DVB-T FEC and the number of the transmitted programs in the channel list.

If a special channel is selected, a point is displayed between the two digits on the module display.
