This manual has been written to cover the functionali ty of the firmware
versions which are contained within the bui ld standard identified on the
information label (see the rear of the Encoder and also Figure 1.4).
This manual continues to be relevant to subsequent build standards where
the functionality of the equipment has not changed. Where the build
standard changes the functionality, a new issue of this manual is provided.
1.2 Role of the MCE
1.2.1 Typical System
The Mobile Contribution Encoder (MCE) is a transportable digital exciter
designed specifically for mobile contribution applications. It is compact and
lightweight, fully MPEG-2 and DVB compl iant, and has high performance
for the transmission of studio-quality video material. The equipment is
designed to be suitable for both flyaway use (within an appropriate flight
case) and truck installation.
The Encoder comprises a single vi deo encoder, two stereo audio encoders
(dual standard MPEG-1 (layer 2)/Dolby Digital) and general purpose VBI
extraction and encoding circuitry.
High quality video encoding is ensured by the inclusion of di gital noise
reduction techniques and many other proprietary algorithms as well as
standard MPEG compression techniques. Hierarchical motion estimation is
also used.
Video is input to the unit in Composite, Component or serial digital (SDI)
format. There is also a logo overlay facility allowing broadcasters to
trademark material.
Transponder bandwidth can be traded with video quality by operating the
video compression bit-rate in the range 1.5 – 45 Mbit/s. Over this
operating range, encoded video resolution can be controlled in order to
optimise subjective encoding performa nce.
The MCE encodes up to four channels of audio, which may be configured
as four mono channels or two stereo pairs, input as either analogue or
AES/EBU digital audio.
Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E5500 Mobile Contribution Encoder Page 1-5
ST.TM.E10033.3
Introduction
One channel of asynchronous data and one channel of high speed
synchronous data can also be supported (data channels are not
compressed).
The MCE multiplexes these input signals, under user control, to provide
secure programme transmission. The digi tal stream is then processed for
forward error correction (FEC) and modulates a single IF carrier for output
to an Up-converter and High Power Amplifier (HPA) equipment for
transmission to the satellite.
If the Compact Remultiplexing option module is fitted, the MCE is capable
of accepting up to three separate transport streams via ASI connectors
and, (together with the host encoder transport stream), provides four
transport streams multiplexed together. Refer to Figure 1.6 and Chapter 4,
Equipment Description for details.
Local control of the equipment is via the front panel keypad and display.
The MCE can also be controlled remotely over an Ethernet interface or
RS-232/RS-485 port. Local health monitoring is incorporated, along with a
local alarm/fail/reset port.
The equipment is fully configurable and extremely flexible, while still being
simple to operate and maintain. Various alignment, testing and diagnostic
facilities have been incorporated to assist with operation and maintenance
in the field.

Introduction
Video Variable Bit-rate
The MPEG-2 compression algorithm uses adaptive fiel d/frame coding,
forward and backward predictive processing with motion estimation and
compensation to reduce the bit-rate to the range 1.5 to 15 Mbit/s.
NOTE…
If the 4:2:2 upgrade has been purchased, video bit-rates of up to 50 Mbit/s are available on the ASI
output. The actual modulated output depends on the symbol rate (which has a maximum of 30
Msymbols/s).
Coding Resolutions
To provide optimum picture quality over the full bit-rate range, the
encoded picture resolution is controlled automatically according to the
video bit-rate. Alternatively, the user can override this and select manual
control, if desired. Avai lable coding resolutions are shown in Table 1.2.

Typical Bit-rate 4:2:2 (Mbit/s)
System configuration can be stored in non-volatile random access memory
(NVRAM) for restoration of configured state at power-on.
Internal Frame Synchroniser
An internal frame synchroniser is incorporated to maintain a valid encoded
bit-stream in the event of discrepancies between the relative timing of the
input video syncs and the internal flywheel syncs.
Output on Video Loss
The MCE can be software-configured to show, in the event of video input
loss, either:
• Test pattern
• Freeze frame
• Cut to a black screen.
1.3.2 Audio Encoding
General
Audio can be encoded to either:
• MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) standard (sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz).
• Dolby Digital (sampling rate 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz).
Output bit-rate is selectable in the range 32-384 kbit/s (dependent on
configuration) for MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) and 56-640 kbit/s
(dependent on configuration) for Dolby Digital.
Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E5500 Mobile Contribution Encoder Page 1-9
ST.TM.E10033.3
Introduction
• Pre-compressed (or pre-encoded – IEC 61937) audio in pass-through
mode is also available (i t only operates at 48 kHz). This is where an
audio stream has already been encoded externally, pri or to entering
the Encoder, and passes through to the output. This type of audio is
supported in Dolby Digital.
NOTE…
Motherboard software prior to ver 3.3 included Dolby Digital (AC-3) as part of the standard product.
A separate licence is required from software ver 3.3, this is available from TANDBERG Television.
The input for this type of audio is either vi a the Serial Digital Input of
the audio connector or it can be embedded with the incoming video.
Audio Inputs
The standard audio input is:
• AUDIO IN - 15 way male D-type - software selectable balanced
analogue or digital AES/EBU, with AES/EBU on left only. The right
channel can be configured to output a reference AES/EBU signal for an
external Dolby AC-3 Encoder. The audio connector is a 15-way male Dtype, but a break out cable is supplied which plugs into this connector
and provides a more convenient means of connecting the audio inputs
via four XLR female connectors.
• Alternatively, audio can be input embedded as AES/EBU on the serial
digital input (SDI). In this mode a maximum of four stereo pairs can
be extracted. Audio may be converted to either of the standard output
frequencies, 32 kHz or 48 kHz, by use of the built-in asynchronous
sample rate converters.
Audio Channels
The MCE supports four channels of audio, which may be configured as:
• Four analogue single mono channels, 600 Ω or 20 kΩ
• Two analogue stereo pairs, 600 Ω or 20 kΩ
• Two digital channels, AES/EBU or embedded SDI.
MPEG Encoding Modes
The two stereo pairs may be config ured in various MPEG-2 encoding
modes:
• Single mono: a mono si gnal is encoded on the left channel only
• Dual mono: the left and right signals are encoded and carried in the
transport stream as a single Packetised Elementary Stream (PES) data
stream. The way that the left and right signals are output from the
receiver is dependent on how the routing is set up on the receiver.
Both the left and the right may be output, or the left only, or the right
only. This is typically used for multilingual services
• Stereo: A stereo pair is coded as two mono signals - the two signals
are output as stereo at the receiving end
• Joint/intensity stereo: A stereo pair is coded taking advantage of
the stereo nature of the channels - the two signals are output as
stereo at the receiving end.

ST.TM.E10033.3
Introduction
NOTE…
Joint/intensity stereo is not available in Dolby Digital mode.
Audio Variable Bit-rate
MPEG-1 audio output bit-rate (see Table 1.3) is selectable in the range
32-384 kbit/s (dependent on configuration).

Introduction
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio encoding incorporates digital normalisation,
preprocessing (filtering), dynamic range compression and the addition of
bit-stream information. Dolby Pro Logic audio can be carried as stereo
audio through the Encoder as long as a suitably high bit-rate is selected.
The audio outputs may be configured in single channel mono (1/0) or dual
channel stereo (2/0) encoding mode. The audio output bit-rate is
selectable in the range 56 – 640 kbit/s (dependent on configuration). See
Table 1.4.

Pre-encoded AC-3
The encoder supports pre-encoded AC-3 to the standard IEC 61937,
‘Interfaces for Non-linear PCM Encoded Audio Bitstreams applying
IEC 60958’.
Test Tone
The equipment can be configured to generate a test tone for alignment
purposes. Refer to Annex B, Technical Specification for level and
frequency.
1.3.3 Vertical Blanking Interval Line Processing
Vertical Blanking Interval Line Processing Modes
Introduction
The Encoder has three possible modes for processing Vertical Blanking
Interval (VBI) lines.
Page 1-12 Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E5500 Mobile Contribution Encoder
ST.TM.E10033.3
Introduction
NOTE…
The following three processing modes are only available if the 4:2:2 upgrade is purchased.
VBI in Picture
By selecting the extended activ e picture format available in the MPEG
4:2:2 specification the MCE compresses and transmits the VBI data as part
of the active picture. This mode requires up to 3 Mbit/s of extra bit-rate,
depending on the amount and complexity of the VBI present.
NOTE…
VBI in Picture transmits the VBI waveform as part of the picture and as such will be subject to some
distortion. Most analogue VBI types are robust against this type of distortion but others, e.g. video
index, are intended for SDI transmission and will not survive MPEG coding/decoding in VBI in Picture
mode.
VBI in PID
The MCE has the ability to extract and transmit a wide variety of VBI line
formats. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuitry on the front end
of the equipment incorporates a number of general purpose li ne grabbers
so that known formats of VBI data can be extracted. Closed caption data
together with other formats of VBI data such as VITC and VPS are to be
transmitted in the user data field of the video.
The following VBI data formats are supported:
• Line 21 data Services EIA-608 (Closed Caption and V-chip)
• Neilson AMOL 11
• VITC (EBU and SMPTE)
• Programme Delivery and Control PDC, via ITU-R system B Teletext
extension data packets of type 8/30, format 2 and Line 16 Video
Programming System (VPS). Video Programming Teletext (VPT) and
VPS are trade names
• Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) EN 300 294
• Test Signals UK-ITS, ITU-R, FCC ITS (inserted at the receiver)
• Video Index (for Pan Scan and Aspect Ratio).
Teletext Extraction
The Encoder supports internal Teletext data extraction (Teletext drop)
from the VBI of a video input and formats this data into a transport
packet, as specified in the DVB specification.
The MCE can extract up to 18 lines of Teletext from each field of the video
frame. The supported VBI line number range is 10-22 and 273-285 for 525
lines and 7-24 and 319-336 for 625 lines. Line filters can be invoked to
selectively disable any individual lines in this range. These are provided to
allow the user to ensure that non-Teletext lines (e.g. ITS lines) are not
erroneously extracted. The extracted Teletext lines are formatted into PES
packets according to the DVB specification. The Teletext PES packets are
time-stamped to allow correct alignment of subtitling captions with
decoded video.
Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E5500 Mobile Contribution Encoder Page 1-13
ST.TM.E10033.3
Introduction
The following Teletext services are extractable:
• WST Teletext
• PDC Program Delivery Control
• STARTEXT;
• Softel Remote Control;
• Night Owl Remote Control;
• Studio Talk Back;
• Inverted Teletext.
1.3.4 Data Channels
The MCE can provide data channels that operate as bit-pipes between the
encoder and decoders. Two types of data channel are supported:
• Synchronous RS-422: one channel is supported at data rates of
n × 64 kbit/s (up to 2.048 Mbit/s) or n × 56 kbit/s (up to 1.792 Mbit/s)
where n = 32 max.
• Asynchronous RS-232: one channel i s supported at baud rates of
1.2 – 38.4 kbaud.
1.3.5 QPSK IF Modulation
The QPSK Modulator Module provides the satellite transmission functions
specified for MPEG-2 packet signals as defined by the following
specifications:
• EN 300 421, ‘Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Framing Structure,
Channel Coding and Modulation for 11/12 GHz Satellite Services’;
• prEN 301 210, ‘Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Framing Structure,
Channel Coding and Modulation for Digital Satellite News Gathering
(DSNG) and Other Contribution Applications by Satellite’.
The modulator module provides QPSK modulation in the frequency range
70 MHz ± 20 MHz, and outputs data at a symbol-rate defined by the
encoding module. The spectrum of the QPSK signal can be set to Norm al
and Inverted states. The convolutional FEC rate can be selected from
values 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. Output power can be programmed in
the range -20 dBm to +5 dBm
1.3.6 Control and Monitoring
Methods
Remote control of the MCE is via the Ethernet network running the Simpl e
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) protocol . The protocol, (MIB
interface), can be provided on request.
The unit is also provided with RS-232/RS-485 serial interfaces for control.
The protocol for these interfaces can also be pr ov ided on request.
Alternatively, Local control is implemented through the front panel key pad
and display.

ST.TM.E10033.3
1.4 Guided Tour
1.4.1 The User Interface
The MCE itself provides no controls at the rear panel but there is a status
display and keypad at the front panel. All connectors are provided at the
rear panel. Control and monitoring may be performed in a variety of ways
(see Control and Monitoring). Once configured, the system runs without
the need for further intervention unless system conf iguration requirements
change.
1.4.2 LED Colour Coding Philosophy
Two LED colours are used externally in this equipment:
• Red is used to indicate fault conditions, e.g. a missing or faulty input
signal. For correct operation, the red LED must be off, although it may
be on briefly during power-up.
• Green is used to indicate correct conditions and correct system
functioning. For normal operation, the green LED must be on
continuously.
Introduction
This colour coding principle was devised to facilitate instant perception by
the operator of the equipment's operational status, i.e. the red LED on or
the green LED permanently off indicates a fault condit ion.
1.4.3 Front Panel Description
Components
The MCE provides a keypad to input data. There are two LED indicators,
located on then left of the front panel (see Figure 1.7).
Front Panel Status Display and Keyboard
The front panel status display and keyboard are used as a local control
method and to set up and configure the MCE (see Chapter 3, Operating
the Equipment Locally). They can also be used as quick method for
accessing the status of the equipment. The status display by default shows
the service name of the video channel being encoded, the equipment type
indicator and the alarm fail status.
Table 1.5: Front Panel Indicators
Indicator Colour Description
Alarm Red This LED is lit when an alarm condition has been detected by the MCE.
Power Green This LED is lit when power is being received by the MCE.

1.5.3 Frequency Agile QPSK Modulator (M2/EOM1/QPSK2)
The Frequency Agile QPSK Modulator (S10949) is an internal satellite
modulator module. It plugs into the MCE backplane and accepts an MPEG2 transport stream directly from the Encoder’s internal program Multi plexer
or via the RAS scrambling module over a synchronous parallel interface.
The Modulator performs energy-dispersal scrambling, Reed-Solomon
encoding, convolutional interleaving, convolutional encoding, symbol
mapping, baseband shaping and modulation, in accordance with the
EN 300 421 specification.
The Modulator module provides QPSK modulation in the frequency range
70 MHz ± 20 MHz, and outputs data at a symbol-rate defined by the
source equipment (Encoder). The spectrum of the QPSK signal can be set
to Normal and Inverted states. The convolutional FEC rate can be selected
from values 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8. Output power can be programmed
in the range -20 dBm to +5 dBm.
Menus associated with this module are given in Section 3.9.6 in Chapter 3.
1.5.4 RS-232 and RS-422 Data Input (M2/EOM1/DAT)
The RS-232 and RS-422 Data Input Option Module (S8477) offers
supplementary data inputs in systems i n which an Ethernet style data
input is insufficient. It comes with an RS-422 synchronous data input and
an RS-232 asynchronous data input. These inputs have been designed for
backward compatibility to existing System 3000 Encoders. RS-232 data is
input on a dedicated 9-way D-type connector and RS-422 data is input on
a dedicated 15-way D-type connector.
Page 1-18 Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E5500 Mobile Contribution Encoder
ST.TM.E10033.3
RS-422 supports nx64 kbit (up to 2.048 Mbit/s) or nx56 kbit (up to 1.792
Mbit/s) data rates where n = 32 max. The RS-232 input can support data
baud rates of 1.2 k – 38.4 kbaud. RS-422 data can be time-delayed for
synchronisation. The time-delay is only accessible via the debug terminal
of the MCE.

1.6.2 RAS Scrambling Module (M2/EOM1/RAS)
The RAS Scrambling Module (S8489) is used to scramble the services in a
transport stream so that unauthorised users are denied access. It uses
TANDBERG Television’s proprietary Remote Authorisation System (RAS 1)
which supports two methods of key entry: SNG Key mode or Fixed Link
operation. The module can be located in option module slots 2, 3 or 4.
In SNG Key mode, a seven digit key is entered via the front panel on the
Encoder. In Fixed Link mode, an 8 digit key is assigned by TANDBERG
Television and pre-programmed into the Encoder and IRD. Scrambling can
be switched on and off under user control.
The input to the module is the Motherboard (Base Board 3ASI) Multiplexer
output via the backplane. The output is presented on the backplane as well
as three dedicated ASI outputs. The backplane output is used when further
processing is to be performed on the scrambled transport stream.
Examples of the backplane output being used would be when a RAS
Module is used in conjunction with an Internal QPSK Module or ATM
Interface Module. Three ASI outputs are provided, so that in addition to
the output, both monitor and redundancy connections can be catered for.
Menus associated with this option are given in Section 3.9.7 in Chapter 3.
