and 16QAM3 modulation.

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

The Encoder has one card, containing a single video encoder, two stereo

audio encoders (dual standard MPEG-1 (layer 2)/Dolby Digital (AC-3)

composite video decoder, CA

, data input and general purpose VBI

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

video encoding is ensured by the inclusion of

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 serial 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/AUDLIN2.

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

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

E5714

The satellite modulator within the E5714 supports QPSK modulation in accordance with EN 300 421 (DVB-S). It provides a main and monitoring IF Output. The IF frequency can be tuned between 50 MHz and 90 MHz, or 950 – 1750 MHz on the E5714 L-band.

E5740/E5760

The satellite modulator fitted within the E5740 is capable of QPSK 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 1.4: Typical DENG System Configuration

The OFDM modulator fitted in the 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 makes the system 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-Solomon (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 by convolutional (Viterbi) decoding followed by RS decoding.

Five convolutional rates are available: ½,

/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 provide different compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness, QPSK being the most rugged.

Four guard intervals are available

/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.

profile @ Main Level (422P@ML) specification

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

The standard video inputs are:

• SDI - Serial Digital Interface - ITU-R BT.656-4, part 3 (D1 serial

format) – SMPTE 259 (component only)

• Composite Analogue (PAL/NTSC)

Video Input Types

The video input types which are supported are:

• 625-line composite PAL-B, -D, -G, -H or -I (ITU-R BT. 624-4)

• 525-line composite NTSC-M (with and without pedestal) or PAL-M

(ITU-R BT. 624-4)

• Serial digital (ITU-R BT.656-4, part 3) input (D1 serial format) and

(ANSI/SMPTE 259M) (component only)

• Internal test pattern function

Serial Digital Video Input Error Detection and Handling (EDH)

The serial digital video input supports error detection and handling (EDH)9 as defined by the specification SMPTE RP 165-1994, ‘Error Detection Checkwords and Status Flags for Use in Bit Serial Digital Interfaces for Television’.

Minimum bit-rate is 0.25 Mbit/s when software option M2/ESO2/PU is purchased.

Coding Resolutions

To provide optimum picture quality over the full range of supported bit-rates, 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. Coding resolutions are shown in Annex B, Technical Specification.

Internal Frame Synchroniser

An internal frame synchroniser is provided to accommodate slight differences between the incoming frame rate and that generated by the stable reference

used by the Encoder.

Noise reduction is only available when software option M2/ESO2/NR is purchased.

The video bit-rate depends on the Multiplexer bit-rate which is set.

4:2:2 is only available when software option M2/ESO2/422 is purchased.

To ensure broadcast quality it is recommended that the studio reference is fed to HYSNC.

Output on Video Loss

The Encoder can be software-configured to show, in the event of video input loss, either:

• A test pattern (with or without ident text)

• A freeze frame (with or without ident text)

• Cut to a black screen (with or without ident text)

• Drop the video PID

• Turn off the ASI output of the Encoder

1.3.2 Audio Encoding

General

Audio can be encoded to:

• MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) standard (sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz).

• Dolby Digital (AC-3)

Output bit-rate is selectable in the range 32 kbit/s - 384 kbit/s (dependent on configuration) for MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) and 56 kbit/s - 640 kbit/s (dependent on configuration) for Dolby Digital (AC-3) coding mode selectable between 1/0 and 2/0.

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

(sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz)16.

• Dolby Digital (AC-3) pre-encoded audio (IEC 61937 specification) in

pass-through mode is also available (it only operates at 48 kHz). This is where an audio stream has already been encoded externally, prior to entering the Encoder.

• Linear PCM

• Dolby E Pass-thru

• DTS Pass-thru

NOTES…

1. See Annex F, Audio Modes for details of setting up the audio.

2. MPEG-1 audio sampling rate is fixed at 48 kHz when controlled from the front panel.

(SMPTE 302M).

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 Ω 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.

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is only available when software option M2/ESO2/AC3 is purchased.

To achieve lip sync in all modes the audio option M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2 must be used.

Reference Guide: E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder Page 1-9 ST.RE.E10076.3

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

Audio Channels

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

• SDI Embedded source

• Digital source AES/EBU

• Analogue source, termination impedance 600 Ω or 20 kΩ

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

Output on Digital Audio Loss

The Encoder can be software-configured, in the event of loss of digital audio input lock loss, to either:

• Code an audio stream of silence

• Drop the audio PID

• Turn off the ASI output of the Encoder

MPEG Encoding Modes

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

• Single mono: either the left or the right 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 signals

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

Test Tones

The equipment can be configured to generate a test tone for alignment purposes. Refer to Annex B, Technical Specification for level and frequency.

Audio Variable Bit-rate

MPEG-1 audio output bit-rate (see Annex B, Technical Specification) is selectable in the range 32 kbit/s -384 kbit/s (dependent on configuration).

See Annex F, Audio Modes for details of setting up the audio.

Page 1-10 Reference Guide: E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder ST.RE.E10076.3

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

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 (see Annex B, Technical Specification).

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 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.

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.

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. Circuitry on the front 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

Reference Guide: E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder Page 1-11 ST.RE.E10076.3

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

• VITC

(EBU and SMPTE) VITC extraction from line 16 or 22 for 625-line systems (EBU definitions), or line 14 for 525-line systems is supported.

• 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

• Gemstar2x

• EIA516 (NABTS)

• 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 6-22 and 318-334 for 625 lines

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 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 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.

The following Teletext services are extractable:

• Sytem B (WST) Teletext

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

• Inverted Teletext

• EIA516 (NABTS)

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.

1.3.5 Outputs

Three ASI-C (copper) outputs supplying a DVB and ATSC19 MPEG-2 transport stream are supplied as standard.

VITC: Only timecode is extracted.

ATSC internal PSIP generation is not supported in Build versions 2.1.0 and 2.2.0.

Page 1-12 Reference Guide: E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder ST.RE.E10076.3

1.3.6 IF Modulation

E5714

The internal satellite modulator within the E5714 supports QPSK modulation in accordance with EN 300 421 (DVB-S). It provides a main and monitoring IF Output. The IF frequency can be tuned between 50 MHz and 90 MHz in steps of 125 kHz. The maximum symbol rate is 30 Msym/s from 60 MHz to 80 MHz (20 Msym/s at 50 MHz and 90 MHz). Also 950 – 1750 MHz in 1 kHz steps available.

E5740

The IF output frequency can be tuned between 50 MHz and 180 MHz in 1 kHz steps. The L-band output frequency can be tuned between 950 MHz and 1750 MHz in 1 kHz steps. The maximum symbol rate is 66 Msym/s.

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

E5750

The OFDM modulator fitted within the E5750 provides an IF output at 70 MHz and 0dBm. It is capable of operating in 2k carriers, or 8k carriers transmission modes. It supports FEC rates of ½,

guard intervals of

/32, 1/16, 1/8, and ¼. It can provide QPSK, 16QAM, or

64QAM modulation schemes.

1.3.7 Control and Monitoring

3.1 What’s Available

3.1.1 Option Functions

The basic Encoder functionality can be enhanced with the inclusion of options, hardware and software.

Each hardware option module consists of a horizontally mounted PCB with rear panel connector space (except the M2/EDCOM2/BISS which has no external connectors and does not occupy an option slot). At reset, the software of the Encoder detects which modules are fitted and configures them as necessary. The modules can be fitted into the positions indicated in Table 3.1.

When the appropriate software option has been purchased it is enabled in the Encoder, which resets and displays the appropriate menu items. See Table 3.2 for the software options.

3.5.3 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 3.3 shows a typical satellite system using one stage of remultiplexing.

3.5.4 Function of Remultiplexer

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 services 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 Remultiplexer deals with user requests to remap PIDs ia as follows:

If there is an attempt 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.

Page 3-12 Reference Guide: E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder ST.RE.E10076.3

3.5.5 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 (remultiplexed) 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. New services can be set to default to either Off or On. If it was connected to the Remultiplexer the last time the Encoder was powered, then 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 encryption. Also it is not possible to scramble a service that has already been scrambled.

Options and Upgrades

3.5.6 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 internal and external PSIP see Annex H, Use of Remux Card in ATSC.

3.5.7 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.

Reference Guide: E57xx DSNG and DENG Voyager Encoder Page 3-13 ST.RE.E10076.3

Options and Upgrades

The easiest way to configure the bit-rates to avoid 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.

3.5.8 What to do if Overflow Occurs

If an ‘Overflow Error’ is indicated on the equipment, then the incoming 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.

3.6 SD Decoder Option (M2/EOM2/DEC)

3.6.1 Overview

NOTES…

1. The M2/EOM2/DEC SD Decoder Option is supported by Build version 3.1 and later.

2. This option module only fits into option slot 6 in the E5740, and must always be accompanied by a demodulator option module in slot 5.

This option module is a complete MPEG-2 standard definition decoder, capable of decoding 422P@ML and MP@ML. It can provide analogue or digital video and audio outputs, as well as synchronous and asynchronous data outputs. In conjunction with a demodulator option module, it provides a complete satellite monitoring receiver within the E5740 Encoder.

3.7 QPSK Demodulator (M2/EOM2/QPSKDEMOD)

3.7.1 Overview

NOTE…

The M2/EOM2/QPSKDEMOD QPSK Demodulator Option is supported by Build version 3.1 and later.

The module allows the Encoder to receive and demodulate satellite transmissions that comply to EN 300 421 (DVB-S). It must be used with an SD Decoder Module (M2/EOM2/DEC), which takes and decodes the transport stream produced by the demodulator.

The module has three inputs; an IF input that operates over a frequency range of 50 MHz to 180 MHz, and –20 dBm to –40 dBm input power, and two L-Band inputs that operate over a frequency range of 950 MHz to 2150 MHz, and –25 dBm to –65 dBm input power.

It can normally receive signals with symbol rates in the range 1 to 45 Msymbol/s, but if the low symbol rate option (M2/EOS2/LSYM) is purchased this can be expanded to cover 0.3 to 45 Msymbol/s.

3.10 Vocality Card Option (M2/EOM2/COMMS/FXS and M2/EOM2/COMMS/FXO)

3.10.1 Overview

The DSNG Communications Card adds bi-directional telephone, data and IP interfaces to an E5740 Encoder. There are two variants of the card, one provides FXS connectivity, which allows standard telephones to be plugged into the unit. The other provides FXO connectivity, which allows the unit to be connected to a PABX. Normally an FXS variant would be deployed in the field, with an FXO variant being used at the downlink site to connect into the office telephone system. Both variants allow the first four channels to be alternatively configured to operate as four-wire, Tie-line interfaces. The cards are four channel as standard but can be software upgraded to provide eight telephone channels. See Table 3.1 for the slots that it can be installed in.

The card multiplexes all the input channels into a single synchronous RS-422 data channel that is connected to the Encoder’s RS-422 data input, and then put into the transport stream transmitted via the satellite modulator. The E5740 must also be fitted with a satellite demodulator and SD Decoder to provide a return data path. The RS-422 data from the SD Decoder is demultiplexed by the DSNG communications card to provide return data for all the telephone, data and IP interfaces.

Telephone Line Connectors

Eight 8-way RJ-45 connectors provide the analogue voice/fax telephone lines. In the four channel variant the top four connectors are not activated.

With the FXS variant, telephone lines 1 to 4 can be configured to operate in either FXS or E&M (Tie-line) mode. Telephone Lines 5 to 8 can only operate in FXS mode.

With the FXO variant, telephone lines 1 to 4 can be configured to operate in either FXO or E&M (Tie-line) mode. Telephone Lines 5 to 8 can only operate in FXO mode.

FXS mode is used to connect to a circuit that requires a ringing voltage (a subscriber port). This may be a telephone or PABX trunk port, which operates on 2-wire circuits. For UK users, a British Telecommunications master Socket must be connected to the port in order to ring standard UK telephones, since no ring capacitor is included in the interface.

Interfaces to subscriber telephones of other countries usually can be connected directly to the SNG Comms card, since the telephones have an integral ringing capacitor.

FXO mode configures the interface to accept DC current or ring voltages, and so allows it to be connected to a PABX. Tie-line mode allows the telephone line to be connected to the Tie-line card of a PABX via a four-wire speech interface together with four wires for the E&M interface.

WARNING…

THE TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTORS HAVE A SAFETY STATUS OF TNV (EN 60950-1:2001

SECTION 2.3). THESE MAY ONLY BE CONNECTED TO PORTS OF A SIMILAR SAFETY STATUS.

DUE TO THE HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES THAT CAN OCCUR ON TELEPHONE LINES, IT IS

ESSENTIAL THAT THE ENCODER CHASSIS IS EARTHED BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE

TELEPHONE LINE.

3.12 Triax Option (M2/EOM2/TRIAX)

3.12.1 Introduction

This option is for the E5750 Encoder only. The card is designed to work in conjunction with the COFDM Modulator

fitted to the E5750 Encoder in order to provide a TRIAX connection to external equipment.

3.12.2 Description

The card takes in 70 MHz IF from the modulator and the 48 Vdc power from an external power supply. It also accepts control information from the control bus of the E5750.

The 70 MHz signal is passed through onto the TRIAX output connector. The DC power is added to this so that external, downstream equipment (SHF up-converter and power amplifier) that is typically mounted close to the transmit antenna can be powered.

Additionally, the TRIAX adaptor also makes it possible to control the external equipment from the front panel of the E5750. This is achieved using a data carrier at 400 MHz. Modems are fitted internally within the TRIAX adaptor and the external equipment, making it possible to set the final up-converter frequency directly from the front panel of the E5750.

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 which gives access to the various options. This chapter describes the menu hierarchy and menu items in detail.

NOTES…

1. 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.

2. 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.

Any of the following can be displayed:

Service name

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

188 or 204 byte transport packet output mode

Output transport stream bit-rate (at whichever packet length has been selected)

Video source selected

Figure 4.1: 1U Summary Screen

4.3 Navigating the Display Screens (1U)

4.3.1 Introduction

The menu items on the display 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.

4.3.4 Line Up Menu

This menu brings together various functions associated with the modulated output. There is also an approximate graphical representation of the Encoder’s modulated output. At a glance, it is easy to see if the carrier is present and being modulated with a signal. It also shows the approcximate RF power (which can be adjusted using this screen.

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

The A/V Menu is designed to give the user fast access to basic 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).

This option only applies if the SI level has been set to On (Ext. PSIP). This sets the maximum PID value that will be passed through the external PSIP input.

Major Channel Option

This is associated with the field major_channel_number and is used to group all channels that are to be identified as belonging to a particular broadcast corporation.

Minor Channel Option

This is associated with the field minor_channel_number and is used to identify a particular channel within the major_channel_number group of channels.

Program Number Option

This enables the Program Number to be specified. In ATSC this is used as the basis of the PMT PID (same as Service ID in DVB). The information is included in the Program Association Table (PAT), Program Map Table (PMT) and VCT.

NOTE…

This option is not displayed if the unit is set to generate PSIP externally or it is under MEM control.

Service Type Option

The Service Type identifies the type of service carried in this virtual channel. The options are; Analog TV, ATSC Digital TV, ATSC Audio only, and ATSC Data Broadcast.

Transport Stream Id Option

This sets the Transport Stream ID value for the transport stream output from the Encoder.

Program Paradigm Option

This option determines whether PIDs are assigned in accordance with the ATSC Program Paradigm or not.

PMT PID Option

This option shows the Program Map Table Packet Identifier.

Broadcast Flag

When set to ‘on’, the Redistribution Control Descriptor is put in to the PMT and EIT. When set to ‘off’, the descriptor is not generated.

Daylight Saving

This option determines whether daylight saving is enabled. Select Observed to enable it and NOT Observed to disregard it.

DST Start Date and DST End Date Options

These tell the Encoder the start and end dates for daylight saving. This information is used in conjunction with the Encoder’s current date to calculate to the next change in daylight saving. This time is put in the System Time Table (STT). Changes can be made in the Time and Date Menu.

4.7.3 Service Info Menu (Syntax = DVB)

Overview

The Service Info Menu is selected from the System Menu by pressing the Service Info softkey. This menu provides options for configuring the Service Information (SI) parameters transmitted in the output transport stream.

The options available depend on whether the syntax is set to DVB or ATSC. See Figure 4.9 for the menu structure when the Syntax option has been set to DVB.

For information regarding DVB Service Information refer to ETSI EN 300 468 Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB Systems.

Network Name Option

This option allows the network name to be changed. The information is included in the Network Information Table (NIT).
