general

The cassette is equipped with two channel strips ("A" and "B"). The channel
strips consist of the digital tuners, the digital signal preparation units and the output converter.
The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station dis­play with "Bx …A" and "Bx …B". Using an adequate CA module scrambled channels can be descrambled via channel strip "A". The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end station.
Two LEDs provide an indication of the SAT IF input signal quality based on
their colour and indicate if the respective channel strip is switched on (LED illuminates) or off. Additionally the quality of the transport stream received is displayed ("CN…"). The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data of the transport streams.
The COFDM modulated RF output signals are sent through the RF output of the
cassette to the output collector. The common output level of the channel strips can be set at the output collector. Additionally a transport stream is made available via the ASI output dependent on the signal path set.
When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the
software version of the control unit. To operate this cassette the software ver­sion of the control unit must be "V 44" or higher. You can find the current op­erating software for the control unit and the cassette, the software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on the website "www.gss.de/en".
The cassette is intended for use in the
STANDARD LINE
head-end stations.

2.5 soft ware q u ery

Control unit
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 44" appears.
Cassette
After activating the cassette the software version of the cassette is displayed
(see page 20).

2.6 how the tPs mod ule wo r ks

After decoding QPSK- or 8PSK-modulated signals, the demodulated data
streams and the data stream fed via the ASI socket can be accessed via the integrated TPS module. These data streams, also called transport streams, contain several stations in all their components (video, audio, data and service information), which can be changed using the TPS module.

stati on filter

Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output symbol rate. Additionally stations of the different transport streams can be assembled to a new transport stream.

stuf f i ng

The transport stream is padded using what is known as zero data. This ensures
a steady and constant output data rate.

Changi ng the trans Port s t ream a nd orgnet-id

The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of a transponder are
split into the transport streams of the channel strips "A" and "B", one of the both transport streams a new identification must be allocated to realise the channel search of the settop boxes connected without mistakes.
If the ORGNET-ID is changed a new NIT must be generated.

Changi ng the nit

The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receiv-
ers evaluate and require for convenient use. The TPS module can adjust the "Network Information Table" (NIT) to accommodate the new station data. The "NIT" contains data which is required by the set-top boxes connected to the cable network for the automatic search feature.

Changi ng the o Perat o r id (Cat)

Some network operators transmit an operator ID in the data stream (e.g.
visAvision). By changing the CAT the operator ID can be adjusted to the cur­rent demands.

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

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.

3.5 retr o fitting a Ca module

The cassette is equipped with a common interface. It allows you to connect a
CA module for various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled channels can only be descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scram­bling system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all the information for authorisation, descrambling and subscription.
Caution
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be used
to ensure that it is suitable for decoding several channels.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly prepared
and tested.
– Any changes made by programme provider to the structures in the pro-
gramme data might impair or even prevent this function.
– When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding operat-
ing manual from the respective provider.
• Insert the smart card into the CA module so that the chip 3 on the smart card 1 faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module 2.
• Insert the CA module into the slot 4 with the top side of the CA module facing the RS-232 socket of the cassette.
• Push the CA module without canting into the guide rails of the CA slot 4 and contact it to the common interface.

Channel / fr equenCy s e t ting

In this menu, you can select the channel or frequen cy setting for the adjustment
of the RF output. The channel setting covers the range of channels C5 … C12 and C21 … C69, the frequency setting covers the range from 42.0 MHz to
860.0 MHz.
The COFDM 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 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 COFDM 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 ranges below
them, we recommend starting with frequency 306 MHz going back in steps of 8 MHz (see frequency table on page 47). Please note thereby that many receivers cannot receive the channel ranges S21…S41 (306 … 466 MHz).

Bandwidth of the output signal To transmit the output signal in the channel range of C21 to C69 a bandwidth
of 8 MHz can be used. In the channel range of C5 to C12 a bandwidth of ≤ 7 MHz must be set. If frequency setting is selected you can set the bandwidth dependent on the
frequency of the adjacent channel.

• Set the carrier modulation of the output signal using the buttons
("QPSK", "QAM16", "QAM64").
Spectral position – inverting the user signal For exceptional cases and "older" digital cable receivers, the spectral position
of the user signal can be inverted "NEG"

—> The standard modes for
DVB-T are 2k and 8k.
• Using the buttons set the transmission mode required ("2k" … "8k").
Code rate During a transmission data can be lost or changed. To recover this data redun-
dancy is added to the signal to be transmitted (forward error correction). The
factor of the quantity of redundancy contained in the bits transmitted is called
code rate. Using the setting "C7/8" you can get the highest output data rate at lowest re-
dundancy.
• Use the buttons to place the cursor under "C…

• Set the code rate required using the buttons ("C1/2", "C2/3",
"C3/4", "C5/6", "C7/8").
Guard interval In this menu item you set the relation of the duration of the user symbols to the
duration of the guard intervals to be transmitted. A high guard interval, e.g.
"G1/4"
causes a low output data rate. For cable networks the setting "G1/32"
is adequate.
• Use the buttons to place the cursor under "G…

6 final ProCedures

After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing cas-
settes it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, cable terminals and cover screws in order to maintain compliance with current EMC regulations securely.
• Securely tighten the cable connections using an appropriate open-ended spanner.
• Measure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform output level using the appropriate level controls or software dependent on the head-end station used. Please regard the assembly instructions of the respective head-end station.
• Mount the front cover (see assembly instructions of the head-end station).
