² Asynchronous serial remote control
² Over-air remote control (TANDBERG Director system) (optional)

1.2.2 Inputs

ASI Inputs (Decoders)

Two BNC connectors support both byte-mode and single packet burst mode.

L-Band Inputs

Two F-type connectors connect the L-band output of a suitable LNB either
directly or via a suitable attenuator giving lightning and surge protection.

Remote Control

A 9-way D-type, male connector used to connect to a PC and can be
switched between the RS-232 and RS-485 input standards.

Frame Synchronisation

A BNC connector accepts a composite video input to which the video
output timing can be synchronised.

1.2.3 Outputs

Transport Stream Outputs

· Two BNC connectors output ASI transport streams with a maximum

data rate of 160 Mbit/s.

Video Outputs

· Two analogue composite video outputs carried on BNC connectors.

· Two digital video outputs carried on BNC connectors.

Audio Outputs

· Two 9-way D-type, female connectors decode two PES streams of

audio from the transport stream. The audio outputs simultaneous
analogue and digital. The digital mode can be changed via the user
interface.

Data Output

· RS-232 asynchronous low-speed data output carried on a 9-way,

D-type, female connector.

· RS-422 synchronous high-speed data output carried on a 9-way,

D-type, female connector.

Alarm Output

A 9-way D-type connector for alarm and failure monitoring is carried out
within the equipment. This produces a summary alarm signal that lights

the general front-panel ALARM LED.

Page 1-8 Instruction Manual: TT1260 Standard Definition Professional Receiver/Decoder

ST.TM.E10100.1

There is a 25-way D-type connector on the optional Alarm Relay Card
(TT1260/HDC/ALRM) with six relays for failure monitoring for NCP over-air.
The operator can define (using the Alarm Menu pages) which alarm

conditions that drive the relays and also the general front-panel ALARM
LED. This is described in Chapter 4, Alarms and Annex C, Menus.

1.2.4 Conditional Access and Scrambling

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 and Scrambling options are available for
the TT1260 range of Satellite Receivers and Decoders:

· No Conditional Access

· Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) Mode-1 and Mode-E

only.

· VideoGuard Director and BISS

· Remote Authorisation System (RAS) and BISS

· VideoGuard Director, RAS and BISS

· Signal Protection

Introduction

When the CA system uses a Smart Card, access by the user is via the back
panel of the IRD.

1.3.2 Input Connections

f

p

The Satellite Receiver interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and
accepts an intermediate frequency (IF) input in the band 950 - 2150 MHz
(L-band) for operation in the specified symbol-rate range (see

Annex B, Technical Specification). The unit can provide dc power and

polarisation switching to the LNB.

1.3.3 What the Satellite Receiver Does

The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and
polarisation. The input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to
provide an L-band input to the Receiver. The front-end tuning is
microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesised local oscillator. A
software tuning and acquisition algorithm resolves translation errors
(mainly due to the LNB).

The signal is then passed to a demodulator that recovers the signal using
soft-decision decoding. The resulting stream is Reed-Solomon decoded and
descrambled to provide inputs to the Decoder circuit. The received channel
may contain multiple services, therefore the Receiver’s demultiplexer is
configured to select a single video service and other audio/data
components and present them at the output.

1.3.4 Over-air Software Download (TANDBERG Director Systems)

The TT1260 Satellite Receiver is shipped with the appropriate software
installed, but it is designed to allow replacement of this code by new
versions of software transmitted over-air. The new code is downloaded as
a background task in the same transport stream as used for the normal
transmission of services.

Figure 1.5 shows the system required for this function. The existing

software continues to function during the download process. Once all the
new code has been received, installed and validated, it is loaded into the
active memory and becomes the operating software for the Receiver.

Introduction

1.4.2 Input Connections

The Decoder has the following inputs:

Two ASI copper interfaces for operation up to 160 Mbit/s for 188 byte
packets and 160 Mbit/s for 204 byte packets.

1.4.3 What the Decoder Does

The ASI interfaces are used to present the transport stream in the format
required by the internal Decoder circuitry. At this point, the operation of
the unit is the same as the Satellite Receiver.

The Decoder can be used to receive an input signal from a Public Telecom
Network via a Network Adapter Unit (NAU). No error correction is
supported at the input of the unit so a level of Quality of Service should be
negotiated with the Telecom Network Provider.

The Decoder is configured to select a single video service and other
audio/data components from the multiple services on the incoming
transport stream and present them at the output.

The unit enters this state when the RS232/RS485 REMOTE port receives
a configuration change command or the Remote control mode is selected
in the System Menu (#6); see Section C.9, Sy stem Menu. During this

state, local commands are ignored. When a modem is connected to the
connector at the rear panel, it must be set to run at 9600 baud.

1.5.4 TANDBERG Director NCP Control Mode

With the VideoGuard Conditional Access software installed and a valid
Smart Card inserted, a TT1260 Satellite Receiver can be put into Director
NCP control mode.

NOTE…

Front Panel mode is the factory default for Receivers used in a TANDBERG Director system. To switch

to Director NCP mode refer to Section 3.8, Setting Up a System.

All Front Panel and Serial Remote commands are ignored except the
operating mode. The TT1260 can be put into a local lockout condition.
When in this condition, there are two ways to recover control:

· Cancelling the local lockout using an over-air command.

· Entering a PIN number via the Conditional Access menu in

Menu #4.3.6 (see Section C.7.3, Director Menu).

Either of these actions will put the Receiver out of local lockout mode.

Introduction

1.6 Guided Tour

1.6.1 Construction

The TT1260 is constructed using a screened self-ventilated modular
system; all operational inputs and outputs are via rear-panel connectors.
The unit may be operated freestanding or mounted in a 19-inch rack.

1.6.2 Front Panel Controls

The physical interface for the Front Panel consists of an alphanumeric LCD
display, pushbuttons, and status LEDs that are used to set up and monitor

the unit. The general layout is shown in Figure 1 . 9. Information on the use
of these controls is given in Chapter 3, Operating the Equipment Locally.

User input is via six pushbuttons comprising four cursor pushbuttons:

LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN; and two edit control pushbuttons: EDIT
and SAVE.

Each pushbutton has an integral green LED except SAVE, which has an

integral red LED. When lit these LEDs indicate to the user which
pushbutton is currently active.

Automatic repeat following an initial delay period is implemented for the
LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN pushbuttons in software.

Figure 1.9: Front Panel Controls

1.6.3 Front Panel LEDs

Figure 1.9 shows the location of the LEDs on the front panel. The LEDs

indicate the equipment status as follows:

The red ALARM LED is used to indicate an IRD fault condition, e.g. a

missing or faulty input signal. It should be off for correct operation,
although it may be lit briefly during power-up.

The green LOCK LED is used to indicate that the IRD is locked to a

transport stream when lit, and indicates correct conditions and correct
system functioning.

1.6.4 Bit Error Ratio Measurement

Bit Error Ratio (BER) measurement is done by an LCD display

representation. See the QPSK Satellite menu (Section C.5, Input Status

Menu).

Page 1-16 Instruction Manual: TT1260 Standard Definition Professional Receiver/Decoder

ST.TM.E10100.1

1.6.5 Conditional Access and Scrambling Options

VideoGuard Director

There is a slot on the rear panel to allow the insertion of a Conditional
Access (CA) card for the VideoGuard Director CA system.

Remote Authorisation System (RAS 1)

With the appropriate configuration, the TT1260 fully descrambles Remote
Authorisation System (RAS) input transport stream. The ability to decrypt
all the components in any other transport stream is a function of the
specific CA system decryption.

Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS)

With the appropriate configuration, the TT1260 fully descrambles the BISS
mode-1 or mode-E input transport stream. This system has been
developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as an open
scrambling system.

BISS has five main levels of operation: Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3
and Mode-E

Introduction

BISS Mode 0 corresponds to no scrambling.
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 TT1260 needs to have the matching
control word value.

BISS Mode E 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 TT1260 needs to have the matching
control word value.

BISS Modes 2 and 3 are not supported at this release.

1.6.6 Rear Panel

Inputs and outputs to the unit are taken via the rear panel. Figure 1.10

shows a typical Decoder rear panel.

Frame Synchronisation

A BNC socket is used by the Decoder to frame
lock to an external video source. The frame
information is input as a composite synchronise
signal, with or without active video. The user can
offset the synchronisation to the video output by
±8 lines, with a resolution of 1 pixel. Lip sync
error introduced by the Receiver is in the range –
10ms to +30ms. This implies audio frame skip
and repeat.

The video and audio can be synchronised to an
analogue studio reference signal. This supports
both 625 and 525 frame locking.

This F Sync is activated through the Service menu
(#3). The specification for this connector is given
in Section B.4.4, Frame Sync Connector.

· Audio 1 selects the first component i n the P MT and Audio 2 selects the

second component.

· Audio 1 does not select the same component as Audio 2 and vice versa

when component-PIDs are reordered in a new PMT.

· Coding type and language are manually selectable through the user

interfaces by specifying the correct PID.

3.6.9 Setting Up the Conditional Access/Scrambling (Menu #4)

Introduction

Menu #4 allows the status and configuration of the Conditional Access
(CA) module to be checked. The structure and content of this group
depends on the CA system. The available CA options are as follows:

· No Conditional Access

· Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) Mode-1 and Mode-E

only.

· VideoGuard Director and BISS

· Remote Authorisation System (RAS) and BISS

· VideoGuard Director, RAS and BISS

The Transport Stream command may require altering to accommodate the
installed CA software.

Remote Authorisation System (RAS) (Menu #4.1)

RAS has two levels of operation: FIXED KEY MO DE and DSNG KEY MO DE.
FIXED KEY MODE has a fixed control word to encrypt the data in the

transport stream. Some control words are reserved for use in the
TANDBERG Television DSNG E n cod er .

DSNG KEY MODE is used for fixed head-end systems. Its main functionality
is:

· Over-air addressing of Receivers for authorisation/de-authorisation to

decrypt the transmission

· Group operation for authorisation/de-authorisation.

Instruction Manual: TT1260 Standard Definition Professional Receiver/Decoder Page 3-13
ST.TM.E10100.1

Operating the Equipment Locally

· Periodic control word changes during transmission.

VideoGuard, RAS and BISS

The process for setting this up is as for the RAS CA.

Changing the VideoGuard Customer ID (Menu #4.3.2)

The unit must be re-powered with the appropriate Smart Card installed
after the Customer ID has been changed.

Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) (Men u #4.4)

BISS mode 1 is similar to RAS in that it uses a fixed control word to
encrypt the data in the transport stream. Unlike RAS, the scrambling
algorithm is non-proprietary, using the DVB Common Scrambling
Algorithm to allow interoperability with other manufacturers’
encoding/scrambling equipment.

4.1 Introduction

There are two Front Panel LEDs that indicate the status of the TT1260.
These are used to indicate abnormal performance of the unit.

4.2 Location of the Alarm and Indication LEDs

The red ALARM LED is used to indicate an equipment fault condition, for
example a missing or faulty input signal . It should be off during correct
operation, although it may be lit briefly during power-up.

The green LOCK LED is used to indicate that the equipment is locked to a
transport stream when lit, and indicates correct conditions and correct
system functioning.

Alarm LED

Alarms

Figure 4.1: Front Panel LEDs

4.3 ALARM LED

The TT1260 supports a summary alarm signal that is active when one or
more of the individual monitored alarm conditions are active. It allows
masking of unwanted alarm conditions so that they do not contribute to
the summary alarm. Configuration of alarms is vi a the Front Panel and
remote control interfaces. The state of the summary alarm is reflected by
the ALARM LED on the front panel where red represents an alarm, and off
represents no alarm.

This LED provides a high-level indication of an alarm within the unit. The
alarm list depends on the TT1260 model. The unit continuously monitors
for the following alarm conditions during normal operation: (if not masked
– see Menu #5, Annex C, Menus):

· No transport stream

· Video not running

· Audio 1 not running

· Audio 2 not running

Lock LED

It is possible to signal additional alarms depending on the transport stream
input type and optional functionality in the unit.

Satellite inputs:

· Bit Error Rate (BER) above (programmable) threshold

ST.TM.E10100.1

Alarms

4.4 Relays

In addition to the one summary alarm, there is an Alarm Rel ay Card
(TT1260/HDC/ALRM) with additional six relays. The alarm relays are
programmable to reflect the state of one or more of the individual
monitored alarm conditions. As alarm conditions may be of very short
duration (i.e. less than the time required to acti vate a relay) the software
ensures that any alarm condition is signal led for a minimum of one second.

The relay electrical characteristics are as follows:
All relays are configured as Single Pole Change-over Relays, with all three

contacts per relay available at the output connector. The contacts of each
relay are fully isolated from each other, and from chassis ground.

All relays are energised in the non-alarm condition, such that an alarm is
indicated upon power failure. If power returns to the unit, the alarms
should not re-energise until system boot is complete, and the alarm
condition of the various components has successfully been cleared.

See Section C.8, Alarms Menu (#5) for a complete summary of alarm
status information.

NOTE…

The Alarm Relay Card (TT1260/HDC/ALRM) is a standard component in the TT1260/DIRBAS base
unit.

CAUTIONS...

1. The Receiver provides dc power (refer to Chapter 3, Operating the Equipment Locally) 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.

5.5 High Speed RS-422 Data Enabler C ard (TT1260/HWO/HSDATA)

5.5.1 General

The High Speed RS-422 Data Enabler Card provides RS-422 data output
when there are PIDs carrying high speed data in the incoming transport
stream.

High-speed data (synchronous data) can be carried in a transport stream
as private data. This is then extracted from the transport stream and
output from the IRD via the RS-422 interface. Data-rates in integer
multiples of 56 kbit/s and 64 kbit/s up to 2.048 Mbit/s (subject to the
number and type of services in the multiplex) are output on a 9-pin
D-type connector.

NOTE…

When the High Speed RS-422 Data Enabler Card (S12595) is detected on power-up the unit will
recover high-speed data. If not installed the unit will recover low-speed asynchronous data. The
TT1260 can recover either low speed (RS-232) data or high speed (RS-422) data but not both
simultaneously. For technical specifications see Section B.5.3, Data Outputs.

B3ZS Bipolar with Three Zero Substi tution: A method of eliminating long zero strings in a transmission. It is used to

ensure a sufficient number of transitions to maintain system synchronisation when the user data stream contains
an insufficient number of 1s to do so. B3ZS is the North American equivalent of the European HDB3.

Backward Compatibility Refers to hardware or software that is compatible with earlier versions.
BAT

Bouquet Associ ation Table: Part of the service information data. The BAT provides information about bouquets.

It gives the name of the bouquet and a list of associated services.

baud rate The rate of transfer of digital data when the data comprises information symbols that may consist of a number of

possible states. Equivalent to bit-rate when the symbols only have two states (1 and 0). Measured in Baud.

BER Bit Error Rate: A measure of transmission quality. The rate at which errors occur in the transmission of data bits

over a link. It is generally shown as a negative exponent, (e.g. 10

-7

means that 1 in 10,000,000 bits are in error).

BISS Basic Interoperable Scrambling System: Non-proprietary encryption from EBU (Tech3290).

An 8-row by 8-column matrix of luminance sample values, or 64 DCT coefficients (source, quantised, or
dequantised).

Bouquet A collection of services (TV, radio, and data, or any combination of the three) grouped and sold together, and

identified in the SI as a group. A single service may be in several bouquets.

B-Picture; B-Frame Bi-directionally Predictive Coded Picture/Frame: A picture that is coded using motion-compensated prediction

from previous I or P frames (forward prediction) and/or future I or P frames (backward prediction). B frames are not
used in any prediction.

BPSK Binary Phase Shift Keying: A data modulation technique.
Buffer A memory store used to provide a consistent rate of data flow.
BW Bandwidth: The transmission capacity of an electronic line such as (among others) a communications network,

computer bus, or broadcast link. It is expressed in bits per second, bytes per second or in Hertz (cycles per
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.

CA Conditional Access: The technology used to control the access to viewing services to authorised subscribers

through the transmission of encrypted signals and the programmable regulation of their decryption by a system
such as viewing cards.

CAT

Conditional Access Table: Part of the MPEG-2 Program Specific Information (PSI) data. Mandatory for MPEG-2

compliance if CA is in use.

C-Band The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which spans the frequency range of approximately 4 GHz to 6 GHz.

Used by communications satellites. Preferred in tropical climates because it is not susceptible to fading.

CCIR See: ITU-R.
CCITT See: ITU-T.
Channel A narrow range of frequencies, part of a frequency band, for the transmission of radio and television signals

without interference from other channels.
In the case of OFDM, a large number of carriers spaced apart at precise frequencies are allocated to a channel.

Channel Coding 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 Encoder and a complementary Decoder located respectively at the input and output of a

transmission path.

Glossary

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.

CRC

B

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.

CVCT Cable Virtual Channel Table (ATSC).
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 Data Communications Equipment: Typically a modem. It establishes, maintains and terminates a session on a

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.

Decoding Time-stamp A field that may be present in a PES packet header that indicates the time that an access unit is to be decoded in

the system target Decoder.

DID Data Identifier.
Differential Coding Method of coding using the difference between the value of a sample and a predicted value.
DIL Dual In Line: The most common type of package for small and medium scale integrated circuits. The pins hang

vertically from the two long sides of the rectangular package, spaced at intervals of 0.1 inch.

DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung: German Standards Institute.
Dolby Digital Formerly AC-3. An audio coding system based on transform coding techniques and psychoacoustic principles.
Downlink The part of the satellite communications circuit that extends from the satellite to an Earth station.
Downconvert The process by which the frequency of a broadcast transport stream is shifted to a lower frequency range.
DPCM

Differential Pulse Code Modulation: An audio digitisation technique that codes the difference between samples

rather than coding an absolute measurement at each sample point.

DSNG Digital Satellite News-Gathering.
DSP Digital Signal Processor.
DTE Data circuit Terminating Equipment: A communications device that originates (is the source) or is the end

receiving unit (destination) of signals on a network. It is typically a terminal or computer.

DTH Direct To Home. The term used to describe uninterrupted transmission from the satellite directly to the subscriber,

that is, no intermediary cable or terrestrial network utilised.

DTS Digital Theater Systems: A motion picture digital sound system.
DVB

Digital Video Broadcasting: A European project which has defined transmission standards for digital

broadcasting systems using satellite (DVB-S), cable (DVB-C) and terrestrial (DVB-T) medium, created by the
EP-DVB group and approved by the ITU. Specifies modulation, error correction, etc. (see EN 300 421 for satellite,

IF Intermediate Frequency: Usually refers to the 70 MHz or 140 MHz output of the Modulator in cable, satellite and

terrestrial transmission applications.

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.

(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.

B.2 Audio Decoding and Output Stage

Technical Specificatio n

B.2.1 General

The TT1260 is capable of simultaneously decoding two PES streams of
audio from the transport stream. Each of the Decoders is identical in
operation, but act completely independently of the other, with the
following exceptions:

· Both Decoders must be decoding channels that have the same

sampling rate

· Both Decoders are not required to simultaneously decode the same

PES stream

Each channel supports extraction of three types of coded audio from the
transport stream as follows:

· MPEG-2 Audio (Musicam): ISO/IEC 13818-3

· Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio: ATSC document A/52

· Linear Audio: SMPTE 302M – 2000 with system limitations as specified

in following section below

· The Receiver does not support MPEG-2 AAC Audio (ISO/IEC 13818-7)

at this release.

Audio component selection is specified from the User Interface or remote
interfaces. The TT1260 automatically detects the audio type of the selected
audio component and apply the appropriate decoding. Where there are
audio components in the selected serv ice of the same language but
different coding types, the preferred component is linear audio, followed by
Dolby Digital AC-3, and followed by MPEG audio.

There is no requirement for specific selection behaviour where a servi ce
contains two or more audio components of the same coding ty p e and
language. The TT1260 is not required to support dynamic changes in the
audio coding type once the initial selection has been made. Provision is
made in the User Interface and remote interfaces for user override of
default audio selection by language and audio coding type, or by PID.

There is no support for static default languages.

Technical Specificatio n

B.2.2 MPEG Audio

The TT1260 supports decoding of MPEG audio as follows:

· Compression layers: MPEG-1 layers I and II

· Sampling rates (kHz): 32, 44.1, 48

· Maximum compressed data rate: 384 Kbit/s (layer II)

B.2.3 Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio

The TT1260 is able to decode and output the primary stereo pair of a
Dolby Digital AC-3 encoded audio stream. When there is data encoded on
the audio surround channels, the Decoder applies downmixing, so that
either a surround encoded stereo pair (LtRt downmix ) or a conventional
stereo pair (LoRo downmix) is av ailable at the output.

The TT1260 is not able to decode and output all 5.1 channels individually
as separate channels.

It is possible to output the compressed Dolby Digital stream from the
digital audio output, allowing it to be decoded to 5.1 channels by an
external Decoder.

Sampling rates (kHz): 32, 44.1, 48
Maximum compressed data rate: 640 Kbit/s

NOTE…

Support for Dolby Digital decoding requires approval and licensing from Dolby.

B.2.4 Linear Audio

The TT1260 is able to receive audio data in the form of linear PCM digital
audio data, up to 20-bits in resolution, and makes i t available for output as
either analogue or digital audio.

A maximum of four audio channels can be decoded from one PES stream.

B.3 Audio Output Format

B.3.1 General

The TT1260 provides an independent stereo pair output for each audio
channel. Analogue audio is always output and the following Digital audio
formats can be chosen from the User Interface and remote control
interfaces:

· IEC958 CON

· AES3

· Digital IEC958 compressed (Dolby Digital Digital ONLY)

· Digital Audio embedded into the Ancillary Data Space of the Serial

Digital Video Output.

Page B-6 Instruction Manual: TT1260 Standard Definition Professional Receiver/Decoder

ST.TM.E10100.1

B.3.2 Analogue Audio

The TT1260 supports level control of the audio outputs. Independent
control of each output of each stereo pair is prov ided via the User
Interface and remote interfaces.

Audio output connector type: 2 X 9 way female D-type
Output level: +18 dBm nominal clipping level. Selectable in range 12 to

+24 dBm.
Output impedance: 50 W (nominal).

· EBU Tech. 3250 Specification of the digital audio interface (the

AES/EBU interface), 2nd Edition 1992

· AES Recommended Practice for Digital Audio Engineering – Serial

transmission format for two-channel linearly represented digital audio
data (Revision of AES3-1985, ANSI S4.40-1985)[1999-02-10 printing]

· ANSI S4.40 – 1992 Recommended Practice for Digital Audio

Engineering – Serial Transmission Format for Two-Channel Linearly
Represented Digital Audio Data (AES 3)

B.3.4 Embedded Audio

Either or both of the stereo pairs selected for decoding by the Receiver can
be routed out via the SDI video output, as AES/EBU digital audio
embedded in the Ancillary Data Space, as defined in SMPTE 272M-1994.
The operational level of this standard supported is SMPTE 272M –A
(20-bit synchronous audio at sampl ing rates of 48kHz).

B.3.5 Audio Routing

The IRD supports the following routing of the stereo audio signal under
control of the User Interface and remote interfaces:

· Normal stereo (left signal to left output, right signal to right output)

· Left to both (left signal to left and right outputs)

Instruction Manual: TT1260 Standard Definition Professional Receiver/Decoder Page B-7
ST.TM.E10100.1

Technical Specificatio n

· Right to both (right signal to left and ri ght outputs)

B.3.6 Dual Mono

Where a dual mono service is available (i.e. stream 1 and stream 2 sharing
the same PID), it is possible to configure the output as follows:

· Stream 1 on both left and right channels

· Stream 2 on both left and right channels

· Stream 1 on left channel, and stream 2 on right channel

B.3.7 Lip Sync

The audio at the output remains synchronous to the decoded video by
default (i.e. where both video and audio streams are available from the
same service). In such circumstances the video and audio streams share
the same PCR.

The lip sync error (delay fr om p r esentation of video until presentation of
audio) introduced by the Receiver is in the range of ±2ms.

The lip sync delay betw een stereo p air 1 and 2 is ±2ms because the PTS
will be generated independently for each pair.

When using frame sync the lip sync error is –10 to +30ms due to audio
frame skip and repeats.
