general
The cassette is equipped with four channel strips ("A" … "D"). 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" … "Bx …D". Using adequate CA modules scrambled
channels can be descrambled via tuner "A" and "C".
As signal source of the channel strips, tuners or the ASI input can be selected
The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end station.
Line ALine BLine CLine DCA
Four 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.
The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data
of the transport streams.
Channel as well as frequency setting is possible for modulators "A" and "C".
The modulators "B" and "D" work at the adjacent channels of modulators"A"
and "C". Herein only frequency setting (frequency spacing of channel strips
"A <–> B" and "C <–> D") is possible to reduce the bandwidth at signals of
low data rates.
- 7 - PADT 6400
Page 8
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.
By default the station filter is switched off. This results in data overflows at the
output if you take the cassette in operation without corresponding settings.
Customize the station filters accordingly!
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 45" 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.mygss.eu/en".
The cassette is intended for use in the
PROFI-LINE
head-end stations.
When using quadruple cassettes in stations with more than eight slots, a maxi-
mum of 8 cassettes may be operated, to prevent overloading the power supply
and overheating the head-end station.
All other slots must remain free!
2.5 soft wareq 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 45" appears.

The software version of the cassette is shown in the display after activating the
cassette (see page 19).

2.6 how the tPs mod ulewo r ks
After decoding the input signals, the demodulated data streams can be ac-
cessed via the integrated TPS module. These data streams, also called transport streams, contain several stations with all their components (video, audio,
data and service information), which can be changed using the TPS module.
stati onfi lte r
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output data rate.
Chang in gth e tr ansPort strea mand orgnet-id
The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of a transponder are
split into the transport streams of different channel strips, a new identification
must be allocated to the "new" transport streams to realise the channel search
of the settop boxes connected without mistakes.
If the ORGNET-ID is changed a new NIT must be generated.
Chang in gth e 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.

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

3.5 retr o fitting a Ca module
The cassette is equipped with two common interfaces. This allows you to con-
nect two CA modules 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 modules to be used
to ensure that they are suitable for descrambling 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 modules, please read the corresponding oper-
ating manuals from the respective providers.
• Insert the smart cards into the CA modules so that the chip 3 on the smart
card 1 faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module 2.
• Insert the CA modules into the slots 4 with the top sides of the CA modules
in left direction.
• Push the CA modules without canting into the guide rails of the CA slots 4
and contact them to the common interfaces.

Chann el / frequen Cy
In this menu you can adjust the output channel (only at modulator A and C) or
the output frequency of the respective modulator.
—> The COFDM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of
8 MHz. This means that you can only use the channel centre frequen-
cy 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 rang-
es below them, we recommend starting with frequency 306 MHz
going back in steps of 8 MHz (see frequency table on page 46).
Please note thereby that many receivers cannot receive the channel
ranges S21…S41 (306 … 466 MHz).

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-
