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
according to the table below:
0xASI OFF Tuner A Tuner B Tuner C Tuner D 2
1xASI D Tuner A Tuner B Tuner C ASI 2
2xASI B/D Tuner A ASI Tuner C ASI 2
2xASI C/D Tuner A Tuner B ASI ASI 1
3xASI B/C/D Tuner A ASI ASI ASI 1
4xASI A/B/C/D ASI ASI ASI ASI 0
The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end station.
Line A Line B Line C Line D CA
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
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 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 45" appears.
Cassette
The software version of the cassette is shown in the display after activating the
cassette (see page 19).

2.6 how the tPs mod ule wo 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 on fi lte r
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output data rate.
Chang in g th e tr ansPort strea m and 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 g th 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.

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!
3.1 installi ng the C 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 RF 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

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 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.

interface is assigned to tuner A, the right one to tuner C.

In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the cable sys-
tem, the output level of the cassette must be decreased by 4dB compared to
an analogous level.
• Connect the test receiver to the RF output or the test output of the head-end
station.
• Set the output channel / output frequency of the
the TV test receiver to this channel / frequency.
•
Switch on the channel strip (modulator) if necessary (

• Balance the output levels of the channel strips if the difference in level is
≥ 1 dB (page 20).
• 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
