Introduction

Video Outputs

Two BNC composite video outputs are present on the rear of the unit.

Audio Outputs

There are two audio outputs available on 9-way D-sub connectors at the
rear panel. Each connector provides one balanced analogue audio pair and
one unbalanced digital signal. Dependent on the input, the user can
configure the analogue output to present the audio as one stereo, a dual­mono or two independent mono channels.

Data Output

RS-232 asynchronous low speed data output carried on a 9-way D-sub
connector, available on all models. The data output rate is configurable
from 75 bit/s to 115200 bit/s.

Relay / GPO Output

The unit can be set up to produce warnings and alarms when particular
conditions occur.

The relay output can be set up to trigger on one or more ‘error’ states.
When the equipment has detected an error, the relay is triggered and the
front panel alarm LED is also activated. For instructions on configuring the
alarms, see Chapter 6, Alarms/GPOs. For a description of the alarm relay,
see Chapter 2, Installing the Equipment.

The same connector supports five GPOs (General Purpose Outputs). These
can be set up to trigger on a single or numerous events. These signals are
independent of the relay signal.

ASI Output (Option)

A single ASI output is available if the hardware option
TT1222/HWO/ASI/OUT is purchased.

More detail on the option modules can be found in Chapter 3, Options.

Introduction

1.2.3 Conditional Access

The transport stream received by the IRD may be encrypted. The CA
system is used to decrypt the required components of the transport
stream so that they can be decoded.

The following conditional access system is available on the TT1222
Receiver.

• DVB Common Interface

• BISS Modes 1 and E

1.3 TT1222 Control Modes

1.3.1 Introduction

The TT1222 is designed for unattended operation. Once set up, it requires
no further attention except to ensure that the fan is working. There are
two control modes associated with the Receiver, local (keypad), and
remote (RS-232) control.

1.3.2 Remote Control

This state is entered when the Ctrl Mode setting in the Setup:Control
menu is set to remote. When the Decoder is remotely controlled, local
control is disabled until the Decoder is configured for the local mode.

1.3.3 Local Control

Local control allows parameters to be entered and chosen using the four
arrow keys.

The arrow keys roles and functions change, depending on what kind of
menu or screen is available at the moment.

The Up/Down arrow keys are used for previous/next item in a menu,
previous/next option in an option select menu (for instance, on or off) or
the higher/lower digit in a numerical entry menu.

The Right/Left arrow keys are used to enter/leave a menu or submenu,
and to select the next or previous digit in a numerical entry menu.

1.4 Guided Tour

1.4.1 Construction

The Receiver is constructed using a screened fan-ventilated chassis. All
operational inputs and outputs are via the rear panel connectors. The unit
may be operated freestanding on a horizontal flat surface, or mounted in a
19-inch rack. 1RU rack height is required. It is important that horizontal
airflow is not obstructed, to maintain the airflow required to cool the unit.

1.4.2 Front Panel Controls

Overview

The front panel is fitted with a keypad that is used to set up and monitor
the unit. Information on the use of these controls is given in Chapter 4,
Operating the Equipment Locally. It gives an overview on how to navigate
the menus. Figure 1.3 explains how to edit these values once a menu item
is selected.

3.2.3 QPSK Input Card (TT1222/HWO/QPSK)

General

The QPSK f-connector is located on the rear of the unit. This input
interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and accepts an intermediate
frequency (IF) input in the 950 – 2150 MHz (L-band) range. The unit can
provide DC power, that may be used for polarisation switching on the LNB,
as well as a 22 kHz control signal. The maximum input symbol rate is

44.5 Msym/s.

Connector Details - L-Band Input

Connect the L-band output of a suitable LNB to the
F-type connector either directly or via a suitable
attenuator giving adequate consideration to lightning
and surge protection (see page 3-5).

CAUTIONS…

1. The Receiver provides dc power via the active L-band input connector to drive an LNB (Low Noise
Block Down-Converter). Do not connect equipment other than an LNB to this connector. Failure to
do this may result in damage to the external equipment

2. The F-type connector is not suitable for repeated connection and disconnection. When intended for
use in this way, fit a sacrificial connector and connect to it.

Use of an Attenuator

The L-band input can be connected via a suitable attenuator to give
adequate consideration to lightning and surge protection.

In most cases an attenuator will not be required. The following list
summarises the circumstances in which one should be used.

1. If the wanted input level is greater than the specified maximum
permissible (-25 dBm)

2. If the downlead is a short length of low-loss cable and the LNB in use
has a poor return loss (7 dB min)

3. If the receiver is receiving one of many carriers in a multi-carrier FDM
system and the level of the wanted signal is close to the specified
maximum permissible

Setting Up the QPSK Input

Setting up the QPSK input is done entirely from the SETUP ⇒ INPUTS menu.
Table 3.4 steps through all the necessary settings to achieve signal lock.

5.1 Remote Control

5.1.1 Introduction

The TT1222 can be remotely controlled in a variety of ways. The basic
control methods are:

• RS-232 control methods:

 TANDBERG Device Controller (TDC)
 Third-party application (using TANDBERG RS-232 control protocol)

The TT1222 needs to be set up to accept the remote control handling.
Once in remote control mode, it cannot be locally controlled unless the
remote control is deactivated.

NOTE…

The TT1222 remote control methods (listed above) are designed to be backwards compatible with the
TANDBERG TT1220 receiver. This means the TT1222 can be used as a replacement product in
existing TT1220 systems where remote control is used.

Operating the Equipment Remotely

5.1.2 Remote Protocol Control Documentation

The protocol used for remote control is the TANDBERG RS-232 control.
This protccol is not described, or intended to be in the scope of this
Reference Guide.

6.1 Alarm Configuration

6.1.1 Alarm Configuration of the TT1222

The TT1222 has a multitude of possible error conditions. All of these error
conditions generate error messages, which are user configurable, and each
message may be given three different states of severity. They are Ignore,
Warning, and Alarm.

NOTE…

By sorting these alarm messages into these three different categories, you can avoid unnecessary
alarm situations; for example missing Teletext in a service with only video and audio.

6.1.2 Changing the Alarm Configuration

The alarm messages are sorted into eight different categories, described in

Table 6.1. The alarm messages associated with each category are
described in Annex D, Alarm Categories and Conditions.

Alarms/GPOs

Table 6.1: Alarm Categories

Category Description

Input Alarms relating to the input signal strength, sync etc.
PSI Alarms relating to errors in the PSI, missing PSI etc.
CA Alarms relating to the CA system and the descrambling.
Video Alarms relating to the video PID and the Video Decoding.
VBI Alarms relating to the VBI PIDs and the display of Teletext, subtitling and testlines.
Audio Alarms relating to the audio PIDs and the Audio Decoding.
Data Alarms relati ng to the data decoding and output.
Config Alarms relating to the general hardware and software configuration of the unit.

The user can define the severity of the alarms. This menu is located under

the Setup ⇒ Outputs ⇒ Alarms submenu.

NOTE…

The alarm message severity level is indicated by a single character, where – is for ignore when the
condition is met, W is for raising a warning when the condition is met, and A is for raising an alarm
when the condition is met.

second). When expressed in Hertz, the frequency may be a greater number than the actual bits per second,
because the bandwidth is the difference between the lowest and highest frequencies transmitted. High bandwidth
allows fast transmission or high-volume transmission.

Byte-mode

Each byte is delivered separately in the ASI Transport Stream, with stuffing data added between the Bytes to
increase the data rate to 270 Mbit/s. See DVB Document A010 rev. 1, Section B3.3, (ASI) Layer-2 Transport

Protocol.

A way of encoding data in a communications channel that adds patterns of redundancy into the transmission path
in order to improve the error rate. Such methods are widely used in wireless communications.

Chrominance

The colour part of a TV picture signal, relating to the hue and saturation but not to the luminance (brightness) of

the signal. In a composite-coded colour system, the colour information (chrominance, often referred to as

chroma) is modulated onto a high frequency carrier and added to the monochrome-format video signal carrying

the luminance (Y). In a component-coded colour system, the two colour-difference signals (R-Y)(B-Y) usually

referred to as C
added to the luminance

(digital) or PRPB (analogue), are used to convey colour information. When CRCB (PRPB) is

RCB

(Y), the complete picture information is conveyed as YCRCB (YPRPB).

Closed Captioning A TV picture subtitling system used with 525-line analogue transmissions.
CODE Create Once Distribute Everywhere.
Codec

The combination of an Enco

der and a complementary Decoder located respectively at the input and output of a

transmission path.

COFDM

Coded OFDM: COFDM adds forward error correction to the OFDM transmission consisting of Reed-Solomon

(RS) coding followed by convolutional coding 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.

Compression

Reduction in the number of bits used to represent the same information. For the purposes of a broadcast system,
it is the process of reducing digital picture information by discarding redundant portions of information that are not
required when reconstituting the picture to produce viewing clarity. Compression allows a higher bite-rate to be
transmitted through a given bandwidth.

Compression System

Responsible for compressing and multiplexing the video / audio / data bit-streams, together with the authorisation
stream. The multiplexed data stream is then ready for transmission.

CRCB

Digital Colour difference signals. These signals, in combination with the luminance signal (Y), define the colour

and brightness of each picture element (pixel) on a TV line. See: Chrominance

CRC

Cyclic Redundancy Check: A mathematical algorithm that computes a numerical value based on the bits in a

block of data. This number is transmitted with the data and the receiver uses this information and the same
algorithm to ensure the accurate delivery of data by comparing the results of algorithm and the number received. If
a mismatch occurs, an error in transmission is presumed.

dB

Decibels: A ratio of one quantity to another using logarithmic scales to give results related to human aural or

visual perception. dB is a ratio whereas dBm, for example, is an absolute value, quoted as a ratio to a fixed point
of 0 dBm. 0 dBm is 1 mW at 1 kHz terminated in 600Ω. 0 dBmV is 1 mV terminated in 75Ω.

DCE

network but in itself is not the source (originator) or destination (end receiving unit) of signals (e.g. a computer, see

DTE). A DCE device may also convert signals to comply with the transmission path (network) format.

DCT

Discrete Cosine Transform: A technique for expressing a waveform as a weighted sum of cosines. Raw video

data is not readily compressible. DCT is not in itself a compression technique but is used to process the video data
so that it is compressible by an encoder. DCT processes the picture on an 8x8-pixel block basis, converting the
data from an uncompressible X Y form (as displayed by an oscilloscope) to a compressible frequency domain form
(as displayed by a spectrum analyser). Can be forward DCT or inverse DCT.

DDS Direct Digital Synthesiser.
Decoder

The unit containing the electronic circuitry necessary to decode encrypted signals. Some Decoders are separate
from the receiver but in satellite TV broadcasting, the term is often used interchangeably as a name for an
Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD). The term IRD, or IRD / Decoder, is usually associated with satellite TV
broadcasting while Cable systems are based on Converters or on Set-Top Boxes / Converters.

Glossary

Interframe Coding

Compression coding involving consecutive frames. When consecutive frames are compared, temporal redundancy

is used to remove common elements (information) and arrive at difference information. MPEG-2 uses B and P

frames, but since they are individually incomplete and relate to other adjacent frames, they cannot be edited

independently.

Intraframe Coding

Compression coding involving a single frame. Redundant information is removed on a per frame basis. All other

frames are ignored. Coding of a macroblock or picture that uses information only from that macroblock or picture.

Exploits spatial redundancy by using DCT to produce I frames; these are independent frames and can be edited.

IP

Internet Protocol: The IP part of TCP/IP. IP implements the network layer (layer 3) of the protocol, which contains

a network address and is used to route a message to a different network or sub-network. IP accepts packets from

the layer 4 transport protocol (TCP or UDP), adds its own header to it and delivers a datagram to the layer 2 data

link protocol. It may also break the packet into fragments to support the Maximum Transmission / Transfer Unit

(MTU) of the network.

bonding, the total data rate becomes 128 kbit/s and is four and a half times the bandwidth of a V.34 modem

(28.8 kbit/s).

The ISDN high-speed service is PRI (Primary Rate Interface). It provides 23 B channels and one 64 kbit/s D

channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. When several channels are bonded together,

high data rates can be achieved. For example, it is common to bond six channels for quality videoconferencing at

384 kbit/s. In Europe, PRI includes 30 B channels and one D channel, equivalent to an E1 line.

A process of converting analogue waveforms to digital information. 8-bit quantisation as set out in ITU-R Rec. 601.
uses 256 levels in the range 0 – 255 to determine the analogue waveform value at any given point. The value is
then converted to a digital number for processing in the digital domain.

RAM

Random Access Memory: A volatile storage device for digital data. Data may be written to, or read from, the

device as often as required. When power is removed, the data it contains is lost.

RAS

Remote Authorization System: A TANDBERG TV proprietary public-key encryption system used to prevent

unauthorized viewing of a TV programme or programmes.
RF Radio Frequency.
ROM

Read Only Memory: A non-volatile storage device for digital data. Data has been stored permanently in this

device. No further information may be stored (written) there and the data it holds cannot be erased. Data may be

read as often as required.

RS

Reed-Solomon coding: An error detection and correction, coding system. 16 bytes of Reed-Solomon Forward

Error Correction code are appended to the packet before transmission bringing the packet length to 204 bytes.

The 16 bytes are used at the receiving end to correct any errors. Up to eight corrupted bytes can be corrected.

RLC

Run Length Coding: Minimisation of the length of a bit-stream by replacing repeated characters with an

instruction of the form ‘repeat character x y times’.

the name of the service, the service provider, etc.

SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage (EN 60950).
STB

Set-Top Box: A box that sits on top of a television set and is the interface between the home television and the

cable TV company. New technologies evolving for set-top boxes are video-on-demand, video games, educational

services, database searches, and home shopping. The cable equivalent of the IRD.

SFN

Single Frequency Network: The SFN technique allows large geographic areas to be served with a common

transmission multiplex. All transmitters in the network are synchronously modulated with the same signal and they

all radiate on the same frequency. Due to the multi-path capability of the multi-carrier transmission system

(COFDM), signals from several transmitters arriving at a receiving antenna may contribute constructively to the

total wanted signal. The SFN technique is not only frequency efficient but also power efficient because fades in the

field strength of one transmitter may be filled by another transmitter.

SI

Service Information: Digital information describing the delivery system, content and scheduling (timing) of

broadcast data streams. DVB-SI data provides information to enable the IRD to automatically demultiplex and

decode the various streams of programmes within the multiplex.

Glossary

Single Packet Burst Mode

A burst of ASI bytes (either 188 or 204, depending on packet length) is contiguously grouped into an MPEG-2
Transport Stream packet. Stuffing data is added between the packets to increase the data rate to 270 Mbit/s. See
DVB Document A010 rev. 1, Section B3.3, (ASI) Layer-2 Transport Protocol.

Smart Card

A plastic card with a built-in microprocessor and memory used for identification, financial transactions or other
authorising data transfer. When inserted into a reader, data is transferred to and from the host machine or a
central computer. It is more secure than a magnetic stripe card and it can be disabled if the wrong password is
entered too many times. As a financial transaction card, it can be loaded with digital money and used in the same
way as cash until the balance reaches zero. The file protocol is specific to its intended application.

SMATV

Satellite Mast Antenna Television: A distribution system, which provides sound and television signals to the

households of a building or group of buildings, typically used to refer to an apartment block.

SMPTE Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
SMS

Subscriber Management System: A system which handles the maintenance, billing, control and general

supervision of subscribers to conditional access technology viewing services provided through cable and satellite
broadcasting.
An SMS can be an automatic (e.g. Syntellect) system where subscribers order entitlements by entering
information via a telephone. Alternatively, an SMS can be a manual system, which requires subscribers to speak
with an operator who then manually enters their entitlement requests. Some systems support multiple SMSs.

A term that indicates the time of a specific action such as the arrival of a byte or the presentation of a presentation
unit.

TOT

Time Offset Table: This optional SI table supports the use of local offsets as well as the UTC time/date

combination.
The purpose of the table is to list by country the current offset from UTC and the next expected change to that
offset (to track when daylight saving occurs).

The offset resolution is to within 1 minute over a range of ±12 hours from UTC.

Transport Stream

A set of packetised elementary data streams and SI streams, which may comprise more than one programme, but
with common synchronisation and error protection. The data structure is defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1] and is the
basis of the ETSI Digital Video Broadcasting standards.

UPS

Uninterruptable Power Supply: A method of supplying backup power when the electrical power fails or drops to

an unacceptable voltage level. Small UPS systems provide battery power for a few minutes; enough to power

down the computer in an orderly manner. This is particularly important where write back cache is used.

Write back cache is where modified data intended for the disk is temporarily stored in RAM and can be lost in the
event of a power failure. Sophisticated systems are tied to electrical generators that can provide power for days.
UPS systems typically provide surge suppression and may provide voltage regulation.
