16. DreamUp – operating software update

You can obtain the DreamUp software and the operating software from www.dm7000.de .

!!! Please study these instructions thoroughly

before you begin !!!

In order to connect the Dreambox with your computer, you need a PC with a network card and a serial interface (COM1 or COM2), and a crossover patch cable and a null modem cable. Alternatively, you can connect the PC with the Dreambox, without a crossover patch cable, with a normal patch cable via your router, hub or switch. If you do not have a patch cable, you can also connect to the Dreambox with just a serial cable (uploads and downloads take longer). In these instructions, we assume that create a connection with the Dreambox over both interfaces, serial and Ethernet. If many questions arise, ask your dealer for assistance, or contact our technical hotline at www.dream-multimedia-tv.de.

Please remove all cables from your Dreambox.

Plug only the serial cable and the patch cable into

your Dreambox.

The power cable is unplugged.

How to find out the IP address of your computer under Windows (W98, W2K, XP):

Click on Start -> Run -> type in the command „Command“ -> press return.

A DOS command window will open, Type in the command „ipconfig/all“ and press return. The IP address of your computer will then be displayed.

Note down the IP address and the subnet mask (can´t do any harm).

AC3

Dolby Digital, sound system

AGC

Automatic Gain Control. . This always provides the best picture quality. It does not, however, guarantee a perfect picture, as the AGC is dependent on the input signal. The poorer the input signal, the less the AGC can manage.

Analog

An ordinary signal transmission procedure, where the fluctuations of the signal exactly correspond to the sound and picture waveforms of the source.

Aspect ratio

Ratio of lengths of picture sides, e.g. 4:3 or 16:9

Bouquets

A bouquet is (like a bouquet of flowers) a package of programmes from a single Pay-TV provider.

CA

Conditional Access. Control the user´s access to services and programmes which are encrypted for copyright or commercial reasons.

CI

Common Interface - Conditional Access Module. The basic idea of the Common Interface (CI) is as follows. There is a uniform, standard interface for the many television and radio programmes, Internet and software products for which charges are levied.. To enable you to receive encrypted programmes with the satellite receivers Irdeto, Cryptoworks, Conax, Nagravision, Viaccess, this is equipped for the age of Common Interface. Of course, all Common Interface options are available to you with the multi-access modules for the sat-receivers with CI. Pay-TV programmes are normally encrypted; the screen is black, and there is no sound. After the subscription fees or a onetime charge for the smartcard have been paid, the associated TV offerings can be seen decrypted. The CI-CA module compares the code in the box with the one broadcast. If they match, the relevant programmes are decrypted and thus become visible. There are CI-CA modules for different encryption systems (Cryptoworks, Conax, Nagravision, Viaccess and soon also from Irdeto). In order to watch Pay-TV programmes, as well as the CI-CA modules, you need a Sat-Receiver with Common Interface, a multi-access module with a CI slot and the corresponding smartcard from the programme supplier.

Coding systems

see Encryption systems.

CF

Compact Flash. Standard for a storage medium (memory card) with Flash memory which retains information even without power. CF is a scaled-down, minimally altered version of PCMCIA memory cards with the ATA interface. This makes it possible to operate them over a simple PCMCIA adapter without controller logic. The cards come in three variants (I, II and III), according to their thickness. However, most devices prefer type I.

DAB

Digital Audio Broadcasting. The system offers additional capacity for data transmission, Data compression is by MPEG-2.

Data reduction

Compression of picture and sound signals. Redundant information is omitted.

Digital

The signal transmission method of the future. Signals are transformed into binary code (0´s and 1´s) and broadcast in this form. See, by contrast, Analog. The latest digital satellite receivers implement the future in this way.

DiSEqC

Digital Satellite Equipment Control (pronounced: die-sec). Developed by Philips for Eutelsat. Anyone who wants to receive analog and digital programs from Astra, Eutelsat, and potentially other satellites cannot avoid DiSEqC. The set-top box delivers control signals in digital form with which multiple antennae can be selected. In contrast to previous analog control signals (14 / 18 volt and 22 kHz), the DiSEqC system provides a much larger number of switching possibilities for control and monitoring of the equipment components of a receiving set-up. DiSEqC is a trademark of the European Satellite Organization (EUTELSAT).

Dolby Digital 5.1

Dolby Digital is a sound transmission system which makes it possible to reproduce digital surround sound on a home cinema system.

Downlink

The transmission segment from the satellite to the receiving antenna on the ground is described as the downlink. Television boradcasters often use satellite transmission from the filming location to the broadcasting station. The advantage: It is the quickest way to transport large data volumes over long distances.

DTS

Digital Theatre System, sound system

60

20. Glossary of terms

DVB - S / T / C

Digital Video Broadcasting. Transmission of video and sound signals in digital form. DVB-S indicates satellite transmission, DVB-T terrestrial transmission and DVB-C cable transmission. A project initiated in Europe which promotes standardisation of satellite, terrestrial and cable transmission of digital television signals. Numerous organisations and institutions participate in the DVB project, now including many from countries outside Europe. Digital receivers which are developed and manufactured in accordance with the DVB standards can be identified by bearing the DVB logo. Digital satellite receivers of course bear this logo.

DVD

Digital Versatile Disc.

EPG

Electronic Programme Guide. The electronic programme guide shows you information on the broadcast selected.

Gateway

Entrance, gate. This is a computer which links two networks together. In the more precise sense, it refers to connections between two different online systems, e.g. CompuServe and the Internet, or between mailbox networks (Fido, Maus ...) and the Internet.

I2C

The 2 should be a superscript (I squared). A bus which was developed by Philips at the end of the 70´s for entertainment electronics. It was used as the basis for the System Management Bus (SMB) and Display Data Channel (DDC).

IDE

Integrated Drive Electronics. Type of hard disk in which the electronics for controlling the mechanism etc. is integrated in the disk drive itself, and the controller thus does not need to be involved in this, as previously with the AT. It is rather primitive in comparison with SCSI, but also (somewhat) cheaper, and has therefore become established.

IP

Internet Protocol. Level 3 protocol in the TCP/IP communications standard. It mediates data packets in “insecure” mode. THe Internet is based on this protocol.

IR

Infrared. A wavelength which lies below that of visible light. It is used for data transmission, e.g. for very small computers (PDAs) and for remote control units.

LCD

Liquid Crystal Display is a technology which is used in notebooks and other computers for presenting images and symbols. In contrast to LED (Light Emitting Diode) and gas plasma technologies, LCD allows a much higher resolution than cathode ray tube technology (CRT).

LNB /LNC

Low Noise Blockconverter / Low Noise Converter (feed system). Converts the downlink satellite frequencies to 1.Sat-ZF. Receiver component on or in the satellite antenna, which receives the high frequencies of the satellites, amplifies them, and converts them to the lower medium frequency.

LOF

Fixed frequency around which the high input frequency of the satellite signal is translated (L.O.F. = Local Oscillator Frequency).

MCPC

Multiple Channel Per Carrier. Transmission system which uses a single transponder for multiple channels. (see also SCPC).

MHz

Megahertz. Number of oscillations of a signal per second. Unit: Hertz. One kilohertz (kHz) corresponds to a thousand oscillations per second, one megahertz (MHz) to a million oscillations per second, and one gigahertz (GHz) to a billion oscillations per second.

Mini-DiSEqC

Two universal single LNBs, for digital and analog, reception can be controlled with the help of the „Tone-Burst“ analog switching signal (also known as Mini-DiSEqC). 14/18 volts and 22 kHz are then controlled over a special DiSEqC multi-switch.

MIPS

Millions of Instructions Per Second. Measurement of millions of machine instructions carried out per second. Wags say it stands for „Misleading Interpretation of Processor Speed“. Also a company of this name which produces processors and other chips (in RISC architecture).

62

MPEG2

Data reduction method for picture and sound. In contrast to the analog method (where 25 full pictures with all information are transmitted per second) the MPEG method only takes account of the actual changes in the picture.

NVoD

Near Video on Demand. The same film is transmitted on different channels at certain time intervals, such as quarter hour, half hour or hour.

OSD

On Screen Display. When operating the receiver, the functions are displayed as an on-screen menu, blended into the television picture. The OSD of most satellite receivers offers various languages for its on-screen menu.

PCMCIA

Abbreviation for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, a standard.

PCR

Program Clock Reference, a time marker is set at least every 100 milliseconds for each signal transported in the transport stream, in order to synchronise the system time of the decoder.

PID

Packet Identification. This means that individual packages received in the transport stream muct be identified. The identificatoin is a four-digit code, separated by audio and video. Thus, for example, over-writing of SCPS signals is prevented.

PPV

Pay per view. This allows subscribers to a bouquet to book individual films or other transmissions.

QPSK / QAM

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying is a modulation method for digital television programmes received via satellite. In cable networks, different demands are placed on the transmission of digital signals. A different modulation process is therefore required, “Quadrature Amplitude Modulation” (QAM). Since a set-top box can only command one of the two procedures, it is necessary to know the route by which digital television programmes are to be received.

RGB

Red, Green, Blue. Colour model in which the colour is defined by the proportions of red, green and blue. Other colour models: CMY, HSV, HLS. Also the name for a particular monitor signal, since monitors have electron beams for red, green and blue, and can thus be directly controlled.

RS232

A widely used interface between computers and other serial devices such as modems, printers and mice. Software updates can be fed in over the RS232 connection (for Windows computers, the COM interface).

Scart

21-pole cable connection for pcture and sound transmission, for example from the satellite receiver of video recorder to the television. The usual connection between television and video recorder, it is also used to connect the set-top box with both of these units. Picture and sound can be placed back and recorded in this way.

Smartcard

Similar to a credit card, used with the CA module of the set-top box, it makes possible participant identification and access control for an encrypted Pay-TV or TV channel.

SNR

Signal to Noise Ratio.The difference between the signal level and the noise on an information channel..

SCPC

Single Channel Per Carrier – transmission system (digital or analog) which uses a separate carrier for each each channel on a transponder (see also MCPC).

S/PDIF

Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format. Definition of an interface and a protocol for digital audio data, used in consumer equipment.

Symbolrate

Parameter for digital reception. Represents the data transmission rate for an MCPC or SCPC signal, and is stated in Megasymbols per second (MS/s). The symbol rate represents the speed with which data is transmitted. The receiver must synchronise itself to this speed. MCPC channels usually operate with a symbol rate of 27,500, and SCPC channels with symbol rates between 4,000 and 7,000.

Satellite transponder/channel with defined frequency bandwidth. In analog technology, one TV programme and a number of sound channels can be transmitted per transponder. In digital technology (QPSK), the transmission capacity is 6-10 TV programmes with sound channels.

UDMA

Ultra Direct Memory Access. A technology for DIE disk drives, which offers twice the speed of the EIDE transmission mode.

USB

Universal Serial Bus. An open, public domain, plug-and-play capable serial bus for connecting devices which operate at up to 12 Mbits/second, and also for slower devices such as keyboard, mouse and monitor. Developed by Intel with Microsoft, IBM, Compaq, DEC, NEC and Northern Telecom. It has only one type of plug, allows connection of up to 127 devices, asynchronous and isochronous (precisely times) data transfer, flexible data packets, and connection while running (Hotplug).

Encryption systems

1. Seca: The encryption system developed by the company Societé Européenne de Controle d’Acces (Seca) for Canal plus was first used in France for the Canal numerique package.

2. Irdeto: Dutch producer of the encryption system of the same name for digital Pay TV, currently used in Italy, Greece, and the Benelux countries as well as in many other countries. Irdeto now belongs to the Mindport group.

3. Viaccess: The encryption developed by France Telecom, is used principally for the French packages AB-Sat and TPS (both on Eutelsat 13 degrees east). It is, however, also used by SRG for encryption of its digital SAT programme range (restriction of the technical coverage for licensing reasons).

4. Cryptoworks: A CA system developed by Philips.

5. Nagra: With Seca (Canal+) the second digital coding method used in Spain. The programme package Via Digital on Hispasat (30 degrees west) is coded in Nagra, as are Pay TV programmes in the cable network of the Spanish Te lefonica.

6. Conax: since the reorganisation of the Pay TV providers in Scandinavia, the general coding standard for the Scandinavian Telenor. The satellite receivers, with Common Interface, are thus ready for the digitial age. Already, almost all

manufacturers offer the technology of tomorrow. Here, everyone can decide for himself when the receiver should be outfitted with various encryptions. The greatest flexibility is achieved with the multi-access modules from various manufacturers. Here, there is the option of one or two Common Interface slots. They can also be added later, without difficulty. The multiaccess modules provide the greatest possible security that they will in the future continue to reign supreme in the world of encrypted digital programmes.

VoD

Video on Demand. In contrast to Pay TV, where a subscription is taken out for a complete programme, here only individual broadcasts and films are ordered and paid for. Until now, it was necessary to go the video store in order to find your favourite film from a wide range. Video on demand offers this selection at home and over the television. The film selected is received with the set-top box.

VCR

Video Cassette Recorder (Video recorder)

ZF

Satellite intermediate frequency = output frequency range of the LNC, e.g. 950 to 1050 MHz. Created by mixing the satellite reception frequency with the oscillator frequency (L.O.F.)
