RF input
Frequency range: ....................................................... 925 … 2150 MHz
The double transmodulator cassette is a QPSK-converter, which converts sta-
tions modulated according to DVB-S /
DVB-S2
standard into two QAM-modu-
lated cable signals.
DiSEqC commands can be output via the SAT inputs.
The
cassette
has two digital SAT IF inputs and one RF output. Additionally it
is equipped with an ASI input and an ASI output (ASI – Asynchronous Serial
Interface acc. DIN EN 50083-9).
The transport stream fed via the ASI socket can be inserted into the transport
streams of the receiving stages via the TPS module. The signal path is set in the
menu items input signal path
"INROUTE" and output signal path "OUTROUTE"
.

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 indicate if the respective channel strip is switched on (LED illumi-
nates) or off, and also provide an indication of the signal quality based on
their colour. Additionally the quality of the transport stream received is displayed ("CN…").
The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data
from the demodulated transport streams.
The 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
PROFI-LINE
head-end stations.
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 44" appears.
Cassette
After activating the cassette the software version of the cassette is displayed
(see page 21).

2.6 how the tPs mod ulewo r ks
After decoding QPSK- or 8PSK-modulated signals, the demodulated data
stream can be accessed via the integrated TPS module. This data stream,
also called transport stream, contains several stations in all their components
(video, audio, data and service information), which can be changed using the
TPS module.
stati onfilter
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output symbol rate required. 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 symbol rate.
Changi ngthe trans Ports t reama 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 ngthe 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 box for the automatic
search feature.
Changi ngtheo 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 demands.
- 10 - PHDQ 1000 ASI D
2.7 exP la nat i o noft h eterm "sym bolr ate"
Modulation schemes such as QPSK and QAM transmit multiple bits simultane-
ously. These are referred to as symbols. In addition to the user data flow which
transmits video and audio information, error correction bits are transferred.
The FEC number states the ratio of user bits to the complete transmitted bits.
The output symbol rate is calculated as follows:
256-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/4 x SR (E)
128-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 2/7 x SR (E)
64-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/3 x SR (E)
32-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 2/5 x SR (E)
16-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/2 x SR (E)
4-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/1 x SR (E)
Example:
Output symbol rate 64-QAM,
Input symbol rate SR (E) = 27,500
FEC= 3/4,
kSymb/s
SR (A)
= 3/4 x 1/3 x 27,500
kSymb/s
=
6,875 kSymb/s
—> If no "FEC" is stated in the station lists, it can be assumed to be "FEC
= 3/4".
reCePti onfr omat r a nsPonde rwit hav eryl ows ymbolr ate
SCPC station
The extremely low data rate means that the output symbol rate is very low. If
there are reception problems with different digital receivers, set output symbol
rate to a higher value.
defineds ymbo lrat es
Some cable operators specify a fixed symbol rate (e.g. 6,900 kSymb/s).

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 RF bus bar.
• Fasten the cassette with the screws 1.
• If you need the DiSEqC control the input signal must not be fed via the input
distributor. Insert the cable termi nals together with the contact washers in
corresponding open ings (knock-outs). Therefore observe the EMC regulations on page 13.

3.4 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 de
scrambl
ing several channels.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly prepared
and tested.
– Any changes made by programme providers 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 / frequenCys 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 S21 …
C69, the frequency setting covers the range from 42.0 MHz to 860.0 MHz.
The QAM 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 … C69 (frequency grid 8 MHz).
The CCIR channel grid is 7 MHz in the range of the lower frequency bands
(channels C2 … S20). Therefore the frequency setting is used here. If one uses
the existing channel grid of 7 MHz in these channel ranges, this will result in
interference (overlapping) with the 8 MHz QAM signal packages, thus causing transmission problems.
