1 safetyregulationsandnotes
• Assembly, installation and servicing should be carried out by authorised
electricians.
• Switch off the operating voltage of the system before beginning with assembly or service work or pull out the mains plug.
• Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms.
• Install the system so it will not be able to vibrate…
- in a dust-free, dry environment
- in such a manner that it is protected from moisture, fumes, splashing wa-
ter and dampness
- somewhere protected from direct sunlight
- not within the immediate vicinity of heat sources
- in an ambient temperature of 0 °C to +50 °C. In case of the formation of
condensation wait until the system is completely dried.
• Ensure that the head-end station is adequately ventilated. Do not cover the
ventilation slots.
• Beware of short circuits
• No liability is accepted for any damage caused by faulty connections or
inappropriate handling.
• Observe the relevant standards, regulations and guidelines on the installation and operation of antenna systems.
• The standards EN/DIN EN 50083 resp. IEC/EN/DIN EN 60728 must be
observed.
• For further information please read the assembly instructions for the headend station used.
• Test the software versions of the head-end station and the cassette and
update them if necessary. The current software versions can be found at
"www.mygss.eu".
Take action to prevent static discharge when working on the device!
Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish. In
accordance with directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the
European Council from January 27, 2003 which addresses old electronic and
electrical devices, such devices must be disposed of at a designated collection
facility. At the end of its service life, please take your device to one of these
public collection facilities for proper disposal.

Input level ..............................................................Y 1 V
The MPEG4 Encoder Cassette converts a HD or SD video and audio signal
into a MPEG4 data stream (transport stream) and outputs it via the ASI interface, the LAN interface and the RF output.
COFDM or QAM modulation can be selected for the RF output signal.
For the Video input it can be selected between HDMI (HDTV with PCM stereo
sound), YPbPr (SD/HD) or CVBS (SD). All common HDTV formats up to a resolution of 1920 × 1080p @ 50/60Hz are supported. The stereo audio signal
of a YPbPr resp. CVBS signal can be fed in via the cinch sockets (analogous)
or the TOSLINK S/PDIF interface (PCM).
A status LED at the HDMI socket lights green, if the present signal is supported
(suitable resolution, no copy protection), or red, if no or a not supported signal
is present.
A status LED at the ASI input indicates, whether a input signal is present
(green).
- 7 - HDE 400
The MPEG4 encoder generates a transport stream according to H.264/AVC
(Advanced Video Coding) High Profile Level 4.0 standard.
At the LAN socket one SPTS/MPTS transport stream (Single/Multi Programme
Transport stream, adjustable data rate) according to UDP or RTP protocol can
be output.
—> Live Streaming/Multicast Streaming requires specially designed
and configured networks. Minimum Requirements include:
The cassette is designed for use in head-end stations of the standard line.
The operating software of the cassette can be updated via the 9-pin D-SUB
socket "RS-232" using a PC or notebook and the software "BE-Flash".
You can find the current operating software on the website "www.mygss.eu".
signal runt ime
Channel switching at a HD source, becomes effective only after a time delay
(of up to 3 seconds) because of the signal runtime!

After activating the cassette the software version of the cassette is displayed
(see page 18).
Control unit
To operate these cassettes the software version of the control unit must be
"V45" or higher. Approximately 5 minutes after the last keypress the software
version of the control unit is displayed.
If necessary, you can activate the indication of the software version of the
control unit manually:
• Press any two keys on the control unit of the head-end station simultaneously
until the display goes dark and the software version, e.g. "V 45" appears
.

3.1 installi ngtheC assette
– Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate.
Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any
other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.
– Before installing or changing a cassette unplug the power cable from the
mains power socket.
• Remove the fastening screws 1 of an unoccupied slot from the bracket of
the head-end station.
• Insert the cassette in this slot and push it into the housing.
• Align the cassette and apply slight pressure to connect it to the connections
of the board and the HF bus bar.
• Fasten the cassette with the screws 1.

3.2 emC regulations
To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines
leading in and out of the head-end station using cable terminals.
When mounting the cassette in a head-end station which is installed in a 19"
cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for the 19" cabinet are
made using cable terminals.
The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for ASI and antenna must
KLASSE
CLASS
meet the requirements for "Class A".
• Insert the required number of cable terminals in the openings provided in
the head-end station or in the 19" cabinet.
Tighten the nuts on the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washer have
penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the housing and cable terminals.
Whenever the HDMI socket is used, the player, which is connected to it, must
be operated inside the station or connected via commercially available optical
fibre, in order to fulfill the EMV regulation for head-end stations.

3.5 uPd ati ngthe softwa re
The RS 232 interface of the cassette 1 enables you to use a PC or a notebook
and the "BE-Flash" software to update the software of the cassette.
You can find the "BE-Flash" software and the current operating software of the
cassette at the website "www.mygss.eu".
Before updating, the network cable must be disconnected from the LAN socket.
• Use a "one-to-one cable" to connect the cassette’s RS 232 interface and the
PC according to the wiring scheme below.

COFDM modulation compared to the system level.
• Measure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform

—> The signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of 8 MHz.
This means that you can only use the channel centre frequency
of the existing channel grid in the range of channels S21…S41
and C21…C69 (frequency grid 8 MHz). The CCIR channel grid
is 7 MHz in the range of the lower frequency bands (channels
C5 … C12). If 8 MHz QAM signal packages are transmitted in
these channel ranges, this will result in interference (overlapping)
and transmission problems.
For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency rang-
es below them, we recommend starting with frequency 306 MHz
going back in steps of 8 MHz (see frequency table on page 49).
Please note thereby that many receivers cannot receive the channel
ranges S21…S41 (306 … 466 MHz).

During a transmission data can be lost or changed. To recover this data, a re-

tion). The factor of the quantity of redundancy contained in the bits transmitted is
called code rate.
