The E5714 and E5740 contain the same high performance encoder. The
E5714 is a 1U chassis housing the encoder and a QPSK satellite modulator.
The E5740 is a 2U chassis housing the encoder, and a satellite modulator
capable of QPSK, 8PSK

2

and 16QAM3 modulation.

The Encoder has one card, containing a single video encoder, two stereo
audio encoders (dual standard MPEG-1 (layer 2)/Dolby Digital (AC-3)

),

extraction and encoding circuitry. It also contains either a satellite
modulator or an OFDM modulator.

High quality 4:2:0 or 4:2:2
digital noise reduction techniques

6

video encoding is ensured by the inclusion of

7

and many other proprietary algorithms
as well as standard MPEG compression techniques. Fully Exhaustive motion
estimation is also used.

Video can be input to the unit in seri al digital component (SDI) format or
composite analogue (PAL/NTSC). There is also a logo overlay facility
allowing broadcasters to trademark material.

The audio functionality supports multiple sampling frequencies, bit-rates
and coding modes. Audio can be input in balanced analogue, digital
AES/EBU input as a discrete channel or embedded on serial digital video.
Various coding standards are supported, including Linear PCM. Additional
audio channels can be accommodated by purchasing the option module
M2/EOM2/AUDLIN.

Unit functionality can be further extended with option modules (see
Chapter 3, Options and Upgrades).

modulation in accordance with EN 300 421 (DVB-S), and is also capable of
8PSK and 16QAM modulation in accordance with EN 301 210 (DVB-DSNG).
It is available in two variants. One provides an IF output tuneable in the
range 50 MHz to 180 MHz. The other provides an L-band output tuneable
in the range 950 MHz to 1750 MHz.

Figure 1.6: Typical DENG System Configuration

The OFDM modulator fitted in the E5715 and E5750 takes the Encoder’s
output transport stream, and uses Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (COFDM) to spread the data over 1705 carriers (2k mode) or
6817 carriers (8k mode). This means that relatively low data rates can be
used on each carrier frequency, and any multipath effects (ghosting) which
occur affects only a small amount of data.

The carriers are closely spaced so that their sidebands overlap, but due to
the orthogonal relationship between carrier frequencies they do not
interfere with each other. This mak es the sy stem spectrally efficient.

Noise, multipath effects, co-channel interference and other impairments
can cause some bits to be received in error. Therefore, Forward Error
Correction (FEC) consisting of Reed-Sol omon (RS) coding followed by
convolution coding is used to add extra bits to the transmitted signal. This
allows a large number of errors at the receive end to be corrected b y
convolutional (Viterbi) decoding followed by RS decoding.

Five convolutional rates are available: ½,

2

/3, ¾, 5/6 and 7/8. These provide

different compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness.
The modulation scheme used on each carrier can either be QPSK, 16QAM,

or 64QAM. These also provid e d ifferent compromises between bit-rate and
ruggedness, QPSK being the most rugged.

Four guard intervals are available

1

/32, 1/16, 1/8, and ¼. These are used to
reduce the effects of intersymbol interference at the receive end caused by
multipath propagation.

The output of the modulator is 70 MHz IF for connection to a suitable radio
transmitter.

ST.TM.E10076.3

Introduction to the Bas ic Enc o der

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. A break-out
cable is supplied which plugs into this connector and provides a more
convenient means of connecting the audio inputs via five connectors.
There are four XLR female connectors, with the fifth cable being a BNC
which provides an AES/EBU 75 W digital reference output.

· Alternatively, audio can be input embedded as AES/EBU on the serial

digital interface (SDI). In this mode a maximum of four stereo pairs
can be extracted from any two Data Identifiers (DIDs). Audio may be
converted to either of the standard output sampling frequencies,
32 kHz or 48 kHz, by use of the built-in asynchronous sample rate
converters. This applies only to audio which is not pre-encoded.

Audio Channels

The Encoder Base Board is capable of processing two stereo pairs, from
any of the following

17

:

· SDI Embedded source

· Digital source AES/EBU

· Analogue source, termination impedance 600 W or 20 kW

These signals may be processed using the encoding modes in the following
section.

MPEG Encoding Modes

The two stereo pairs may be configured in various encoding modes:

· Single mono: the left channel is encoded - the signal is output to both

XLR connectors at the receiving end. Not available in Linear PCM.

· 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. Available in
MPEG-1 (layer 2) and Linear PCM.

· Stereo: A stereo pair is coded as two mono signals - the two si gnals

are output as stereo at the receiving end.

· Joint 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. Available in MPEG-1 (layer 2) only.

· Audio Description Service

Dolby Digital (AC-3) Encoding Modes

· 1/0: centre

· 2/0: left and right

1.3.3 Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) Line Processing Modes

Introduction

The Encoder has three modes for processing VBI lines.

NOTE…

A maximum of eight VBI lines per field may be extracted. This limit does not apply to Teletext.

VBI in Picture

By selecting the VBI in Picture extended active picture format available in
the MPEG 4:2:2 specification the Encoder compresses and transm its 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.

NOTES…

1. 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. VITS test signal and ghost cancellation signal will become corrupted.

2. VBI in Picture is not supported when 3:2 Pulldown is active.

Instruction Manual: evolution 50 00 E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encode r Page 1-13
ST.TM.E10076.3

Introduction to the Bas ic Enc o der

VBI User Data

Closed Caption data, together with other formats such as VITC and AFD,
can be transmitted in the user data field of the video or relevant part of
the video stream.

VBI in PID

The Encoder has the ability to extract and transmit a wide variety of VBI
line formats. Circui try on the f ront end of the equipment incorporates a
number of general purpose line grabbers so that known formats of VBI
data can be extracted.

The following VBI data formats are supported:

· Line 21 (field 1 and field 2) data Services EIA-608 (Closed Caption and

V-chip)

· Neilson AMOL 1, Neilson AMOL 11

· VITC (EBU and SMPTE)

· Programme Delivery Control (PDC), via ITU-R system B Teletext

extension data packets of type 8/30, format 2 and Line 16 Video
Programme System (VPS). Video Programming Teletext (VPT) and VPS
are trade names

· Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) (line 23) ETS 300 294

· Video Index (for Pan Scan, Aspect Ratio and Active Format Descriptor)

· The supported VBI line number range is 10-22 and 272-285 for 525

lines and 7-24 and 319-336 for 625 lines

Teletext Extraction

The Encoder supports internal Teletext data extraction (Tel etex t d rop )
from the VBI of a video input and formats this data into a transport
packet, as specified in the DVB specification EN300-472. The Encoder can
extract up to 18 lines of Teletext from each field of the video frame.

Line filters can be invoked to selectively disable any individual lines in this
range. The filters are provid ed 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.

The following Teletext services are extractable:

· Sytem B (WST) Teletext

· Video Programming Teletext (VPT), PDC (Packet 8/30 format 2)

· Inverted Teletext

1.3.4 Data Channels

The basic Encoder supports two data channels, an asynchronous RS-232
and a synchronous RS-442. These are provided as data pipes only, they
are not time-stamped.

Page 2-8 Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder

ST.TM.E10076.3

Installing the Equipment

The internal dc power supply module used in this equipment is designed
for use on dc supplies ranging from 12 to 36 volts dc. (see Annex B,
Technical Specification for a full power supply specification).

The dc connections within the Encoder are floating (both are isolated from
the Encoder case and earth connection). Refer to the previous caution
regarding voltage polarity.

The recommended types of dc power sources are as follows:

· Battery with suitable fuse protection

· Linear PSU capable of 12 A with a peak of 30 A

· Switched-mode PSU capable of 12 A with a peak of 30 A

NOTES…

1. The voltages specified are those required at the Encoder DC INPUT terminals when the unit is
powered on, therefore any cable voltage drop must be taken into account at the time of
installation.

2. In situations where the Encoder is battery powered and remote from a charging source, two
12 volt batteries wired in series are recommended, to avoid the voltage dropping to a level where
the Encoder switches off.

3. Ensure that the non-earthed side connection of the dc supply is protected by a suitably rated
(30 A) external fuse.

CAUTION…

The Encoder requires a minimum of 12 volts to power up and has a low voltage shutdown facility that
operates at approximately 11 volts. This is part of the power unit’s design. Failure to observe the
equipment voltage requirements may result in power cycling of the Encoder if the battery is unable to
maintain its terminal voltage. Damage may result if this condition is allowed to continue.

2.5.2 DC Power Cable and Earthing

General

The Encoder is supplied with a two metre, three-way cable terminated with
a three way shrouded socket at one end and prepared tails at the other.

Although the Encoder consumes less than 20 A, the use of 20 A rated
cable is recommended in order to minimise voltage drop from the dc
supply.

The socket has one large and four small k ey -ways. The large key-way is
positioned at the bottom of the connector. Offer the cable connector to the
front panel connector as follows:

1. Check that the connector collar is in one of its cl ick positions.

2. With the large key-way at the bottom and pin 2 at the top, push the
line connector home.

3. Push the knurled collar forward against the collar’s internal spring and
rotate it to the right until it locates in the detents, the connection is
now complete.

Check that the dc power connections are of sufficient capacity for the
current required by the Encoder.

) to scramble the outgoing

NOTE…

Only Modes 0 and 1 are available at Build version 2.1.0. Modes 2 and 3 are not supported.

BISS Mode 1 operation uses a fixed value for the control word to scramble
the services in the transport stream from the Encoder. To descramble the
transmission, the Decoder needs to have the matching control word value.

The BISS Module (M2/EDCOM2/BISS) comprises Assembly S12284 and
Card S11484.

NOTES…

The Additional Audio option module supplements the audio encoding
functionality of the Encoder. This module supports audio standards MPEG-1
(layer 2), Dolby Digital (AC-3), Linear PCM, Dolby Digital (AC-3)
Pass-through and Dolby E Pass-through. The module can take in audio as
either stereo analogue or digital AES/EBU (on left channel only) via a
15-way D-type connector provided on it s rear p anel.

Alternatively, any two of the four pairs of embedded AES/EBU channels
extracted from the video can be routed to the modul e for encoding. This
option supports all the standard bit-rates and encoding m odes associated
with each compression standard.

The Audio Menu associated with this opti on is described in Chapter 4,
Operating the Equipment Locally, Section 4.9. In the Audio Setup Menu
additional options are displayed for Audio XA and Audio XB, where X is the
option slot number where the module is fitted.

Refer to Annex G, Audio Modes for details of Encoder locking to ensure
correct performance.

3.5 RS-232 and RS-422 Data Input Option (M2/EOM2/DAT)

3.5.1 Overview

NOTE…

The Data Input Option does not report errors back to the host, thus no alarms are raised by the
Encoder.

The RS-232 and RS-422 Data Input option module 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.

RS-422 supports n x 64 kbit/s (up to 2.048 Mbit/s) or n x 56 kbit/s (up to

1.792 Mbit/s) data rates where n = up to 32 maximum. The RS-232 input
can support data baud rates of 1.2 kbaud - 19.2 kbaud.

3.6 Remux Option (M2/EOM2/REMUX)

3.6.1 Overview

NOTE…

The M2/EOM2/REMUX Remux Option Module is supported by Build version 2.2.0 and later.

The Remux option module is capable of accepting up to three separate
transport streams via ASI connectors, and one transport stream from the
host Encoder. The maximum permissible data rate of each input transport
stream is 50 Mbit/s. Some or all of the services in the input transport
streams are then multiplexed together to produce a Multiple Channels Per
Carrier (MCPC) output at up to 50 Mbit/s. For a specification of this
interface see Annex B, Technical Specification

3.6.3 Stages of Remultiplexing

The Remultiplexer is capable of combining four inputs. Three inputs are in
the form of ASI feeds to the rear panel, the fourth input is fed from the
host Encoder (or primary Encoder). This basic configuration, using a single
stage of remultiplexing, means that four Encoder services (or streams) can
be combined together in the output. Figure 3.4 shows a typical satellite
system using one stage of remultiplexing.

3.6.4 Function of Remultiplexer

p

A

It is the function of the Remultiplexer to combine the locally generated
host services with the externally supplied input services, connected via ASI
inputs to the rear of the unit. If the Service ID (DVB) or Program Number
(ATSC), PIDs or service names, of two or more of the servi ces clash, the
Remultiplexer can remap the Service ID or program number, remap PIDs,
and alter the service names to resolve the clash.

If a new service is detected on any input, and it clashes with an existing
service, it is the new service’s Service ID or Program Number, PIDs, or
Service Name that are remapped to resolve the conflict. Service names are
made unique by the addition of a number, for example ‘Default Service’
may be renamed ‘Default Service [2]’.

The way the Remultipl ex er deals with user requests to remap PIDs
depends on its mode of operation.

When set to ‘Intelligent Mode’ (see Remux Mode Option ), if the user then
attempts to move/remap a PID to a PID already being used, the
Remultiplexer allows this to happen, and automatically remaps the element
that was on that PID.

ASI
Input

When the Remultiplexer is operating in ‘Dumb Mode’, if the user tries to
remap an element onto a PID that is already being used, it will not allow
the change to take place.

NOTE…

When operating in ‘Dumb Mode’ the Encoder may power up with unresolved PID clashes, which the
user must resolve.

3.6.5 Using the Remultiplexer

Set the output bit-rate to the required value in the Setup/Mux Menu.
Connect transport streams that are to be combined (remulti p lexed) with

the host Encoder’s services to the ASI inputs on the rear of the unit.

NOTE…

It is possible to remultiplex any DVB or ATSC compliant transport stream but at the time of publication,
only transport streams generated by TANDBERG Television equipment are guaranteed to work when
fed to the Remultiplexing module.

The equipment will automatically detect the services on these inputs. The
list of detected services is displayed in the Setup/Mux Menu.

Each service can be individually switched ‘Off’, ‘On’, or ‘On with
scrambling’. If the service is set to ‘Off’, then there is no trace of the
service in the output transport stream. Each new service defaults to ‘Off’,
unless it was connected to the Remulti plexer the last time the Encoder was
powered, when it assumes its previous state.

It is possible to remultiplex transport streams that have already been
scrambled by BISS encryption, but it is not possible to remultiplex
transport streams that have already been scrambled using RAS encry p tion.
Also it is not possibl e to scram bl e a service that has already been
scrambled.

3.6.6 ATSC Remultiplexing

The Remultiplexer can work with ATSC compliant transport streams. It
remaps the services following the ATSC program paradigm.

The Encoder can be configured to generate the PSIP for the output
transport stream. It generates the minimum number of tables to give an
ATSC compliant output transport stream, i.e. Event Information Tables
(EIT) 0, 1, 2 and 3, the System Time Table (STT), the Rating Region Table
(RRT), the Master Guide Table (MGT), and either the Cable Virtual Channel
Table (CVCT) or the Terrestrial Virtual Channel Table (TVCT), depending on
the delivery descriptor set. It will not pass through any tables that are
present on the ASI input transport streams.

Alternatively, an external PSIP generator can be connected to one of the
Remultiplexer inputs and the remultiplexer programmed to pass through a
range of PIDs, thus inserting the PSIP into the output transport stream.

For more information about using the Remux card in ATSC with i nternal
and external PSIP see Annex J, Use of Remux Card in ATSC.

3.6.7 Setting Bit-rates and Avoiding Overflow

Overflow is the condition in which the total of the contributing service
bit-rates, (including the host mux), exceeds the output bit-rate of the
primary remultiplexing unit.

NOTE…

Only useful packets (e.g. video, audio and data, etc) count towards the bit-rate of the contributing
service bit-rates, not null packets.

Page 3-16 Instruction Manual: evolution 5000 E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder

ST.TM.E10076.3

The easiest way to configure the bi t-rates to av oid overflow, is as follows:

1. Divide the 188 byte output bit-rate of the primary (master)
remultiplexing unit, (this can be found in the Setup/Mux/Remux
Module/Output Bit-rate), by the number of contributing services
(including the primary service). Such that:

O/P Rate (188) / N = Host Rate (188)
[Where N = number of services to be combined including

primary]

2. Then set the Host Rates (188) of each contributing unit and the master
unit to equal the calculated Host Rate.

If the above procedure is followed, an equal bit-rate is allocated to each
contributing unit. By setting the host rates, the video and audio bit-rates
will be automatically adjusted to suit.

The amount of spare bit-rate and input bit-rate that has been used in the
Remultiplexer can be monitored using the bar graph indicators in the
Setup/Mux/Remux Module Menu.

3.6.8 What to do if Overflow Occurs

Options and Upgrades

If an ‘Overflow Error’ is indicated on the equipment, then the incomi ng
contributing bit-rate exceeds the outgoing bit-rate. To avoid corruption
reduce the incoming bit-rate by either removing services, (turn the service
‘Off’ or remove the ASI input), or reduce the bit-rate of the incoming
service.

3.7 XLR Expander Card Option (M2/EOM2/XLR)

3.7.1 Overview

NOTE…

The M2/EOM2/XLR XLR Expander Card Option is supported by Build version 3.0 and later.

The XLR Expander Card Option permits Encoders to input and output a
stereo audio pair via XLR connectors. The option occupies two vertical
option slots, 1 and 4, due to the size of the XLRs. Because of this it is
available on the 2U version only.

The Audio menu associated with this option is described in Chapter 4,
Operating the Equipment Locally.

3.7.2 Audio Inputs Receiver

The input accepts both analogue and digital AES/EBU (left channel only).
When the unit is powered down the inputs default to digital. The input
impedance of the digital channel is 110 W, while the analogue input
operates at either 600 W or 20 kW.

The analogue receiver works at clip l evels of 18 dB or 15 dB. Analogue
inputs are sampled at 48 kHz. The signal from the audio receiving inputs is
routed to the backplane as a single AES/EBU formatted digital signal.

3.7.3 Audio Outputs Transmitter

The XLR outputs deliver both analogue or digital AES/EBU (left channel
only). When delivering digital audio the output impedance is 110 W. The
analogue output is low impedance. The analogue transmitter works at
15 dB or 18 dB FSR.

The audio transmitter may select it s source from any of the following:

· Four AES/EBU de-embedded feeds from the SDI feed

· Two of the AES/EBU feeds from the decoder

· Loop back

· Off

The analogue signal is reconstructed, based on the sampling rate of the
AES/EBU signal source.

4.1 Introduction

The front panel display and keypad are used to configure, control and
monitor the Encoder. The control interface is a structured menu whi ch
gives access to the various options. This chapter describes the menu
hierarchy and menu items in detail.

NOTES…

The configuration of the Encoder after booting is the same as when power was removed, with the
following exceptions:

! The satellite modulator output is switched off.

! The modulation of the IF carrier is switched on.

! The output power level is set to low.

If the Encoder configuration after power-up, matches the required configuration, then to re-enable
transmission the satellite modulator output must be switched on, and the output power level must be
set to its previous setting.

4.2 Establishing Local Control (1U)

Operating the Equipment Locally

At switch-on the Encoder runs through a boot sequence (boot time without
any option modules is approximately 45 seconds). A typical Summary
Screen is displayed.

Service name

Any of the following can be displayed:

Initialising Only shown when the Encoder is booting
On Air Outputs are on
Off Air Outputs are off
Scrambled Outputs are on and transport stream being

scrambled with selected CA standard

Default Service (On Air)
204 Bytes 40.000 Mbit/s Serial Digital

4.3.1 Introduction

The menu items on the displa y are selected and amended by one of the
four navigation keys (shown as left, right, up and down arrows) and Enter
and Cancel buttons (see Figure 4.2). Most of the screens displayed in this
manual are for the 2U Encoder and are accessed in a different way (see
Section 4.5, Navigating the Display Screens (2U)) but the menu options
are the same for both the 1U and 2U Encoders.

The function of the navigation keys depends where you are in the menu
structure. See the following sections for details.

the UP/DOWN keys.

4.3.4 A(udio)/V(ideo) Menu (1U)

The A/V Menu is designed to give the user fast access to basi c audio and
video input settings, and operates in a slightly different way to other
menus.

The menu gives a list of video and audio settings and the audio input
levels. Any of the settings can be changed by pressing ENTER to cycle
through the options. Each time ENTER is pressed the new setting is
updated and actioned immediately by the Encoder.

Only those video input selections compatible with the currently selected
frame rate can be chosen from this menu. For example, if the current
selection is PAL-B/G/H/I (frame rate 25 Hz) then any format except PAL-M
or NTSC-M can be selected (29.97 Hz only).
