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.

1.5.3 Serial Remote Control Mode

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.
