2.4.3 General
The cassette is equipped with two channel strips (“A” and “B”). The “A” channel
strip has a digital SAT tuner and can process both the transport stream fed in via
the LAN interface and the transport stream from the SAT tuner.
Using an appropriate CA module, encoded services coming from the SAT tuner can be decoded
in channel strip “A”. The “B” channel strip only processes the transport stream
fed in via the LAN interface. The transport streams are directed to the ASI output
or the output converter depending on the set output signal route “OUTROUTE”
via the digital signal processing levels. The HF output signals are sent through
the HF output on the cassette to the output collector. The common output level
of the channel strips can be set in the output collector on the head-end station.
An LED in channel strip “A” provides an indication of the signal quality for the
SAT IF input signal and shows whether the modulator of the channel strip is ac-
- 8 -
- 9 -
tivated (LED lights up) or deactivated. The quality of the transport stream being
received is also shown in the display (“CN…”).
The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data
from the transport streams.
The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station display with “Bx …A”
and “Bx …B”. The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the
head-end station.
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 40”
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”.
The cassette is designed for use in the following head-end stations:
– PSU 12
– PSU 8
– PGT 8
2.5 Software query
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 40” appears.

After activating the cassette the software version of the cassette is displayed
(s. page 21).

2.6 How the TPS module works
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.
The individual functions
Station filter
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, consequently,
the output symbol rate required. Additionally stations of the different transport
streams can be assembled to a new transport stream.
Stuffing
The transport stream is padded using what is known as zero data. This ensures
a steady and constant output symbol rate.
Changing the NIT
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receivers 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.
Changing the operator 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.

2.7 Explanation of the term “symbol rate”
Modulation schemes such as QPSK and QAM transmit multiple bits simultaneously. 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:
1
256-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x
/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
SR (A)
= 3/4 x 1/3 x 27,500
SR (A)
=
6,875 kSymb/s
FEC= 3/4,
kSymb/s
kSymb/s
Note:
If no “FEC” is stated in the station lists, it can be assumed to be
“FEC = 3/4”.
Reception from a transponder with a very low symbol rate
(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.
Defined symbol rates
Some cable operators specify a fixed symbol rate (e.g. 6,900 kSymb/s).

Selecting channel / frequency setting
In this menu, you can choose the channel or frequen cy setting
for the adjustment of the HF 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 raster in the range of channels S21 … C69 (frequency raster 8 MHz). The CCIR channel raster 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 raster of 7 MHz in these
channel ranges, this will result in interference (overlapping)
with the 8 MHz QAM signal packages, thus causing transmission problems.
For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency ranges below them, we recommend starting with channel
S21 / 306 MHz going back in steps of 8 MHz (s. frequency
table on page 53), or reducing the bandwidth of the QAM
output signal by removing stations.

6 Final procedures
After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing
cassettes 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 bolted connections fingertight 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.
—>
In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the cable system, the output levels of the digital cassettes must be set lower by
8 dB compared to analogue cassettes.
• Mount the front cover (s. assembly instructions of the head-end station).
