1 safety r egulationsa n d notes
• Assembly, installation and servicing should be carried out by authorised
electricians.
• Switch off the operating voltage of the system before beginning with assembly or service work or pull out the mains plug.
• Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms.
• Install the system so it will not be able to vibrate…
- in a dust-free, dry environment
- in such a manner that it is protected from moisture, fumes, splashing wa-
ter and dampness
- somewhere protected from direct sunlight
- not within the immediate vicinity of heat sources
- in an ambient temperature of 0 °C to +50 °C. In case of the formation of
condensation wait until the system is completely dried.
• Ensure that the head-end station is adequately ventilated. Do not cover the
ventilation slots.
• Beware of short circuits
• No liability is accepted for any damage caused by faulty connections or
inappropriate handling.
• Observe the relevant standards, regulations and guidelines on the installation and operation of antenna systems.
• The standards EN/DIN EN 50083 resp. IEC/EN/DIN EN 60728 must be
observed.
• For further information please read the assembly instructions for the headend station used.
• Test the software versions of the head-end station and the cassette and
update them if necessary. The current software versions can be found at
"www.triax.com".
Take action to prevent static discharge when working on the device!
Electronic devices should never be disposed of in the household rubbish. In
accordance with directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and the
European Council from January 27, 2003 which addresses old electronic and
electrical devices, such devices must be disposed of at a designated collection
facility. At the end of its service life, please take your device to one of these
public collection facilities for proper disposal.
The transmodulator cassette is a converter, which converts stations modulated
according to DVB-S /
cording to DIN EN 300744 for feeding into a cable network.
DVB-S2
standard into two COFDM-modulated signals ac-
The
cassette
has
one digital SAT IF input and one HF output.
gener al
The cassette is equipped with two channel strips (modulators "A" and "B").
The channel strips consist of the digital signal preparation units and the output
converter.
The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station display with
"Bx …A" and "Bx …B". Using an adequate CA module encoded channels
can be decoded.
The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end station.
A LED provides an indication of the SAT IF input signal quality based on its
colour and indicates if the channel strip A is switched on (LED illuminates) or
off. Additionally the quality of the transport stream received is displayed on
the display ("CN…"). The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data of the transport streams.
- 6 - CCS-2 1002
The COFDM modulated HF output signals are sent through the HF output of the
cassette to the output collector. The common output level of the channel strips
can be set at the output collector.
When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the
software version of the control unit. To operate this cassette the software version of the control unit must be "V 44" or higher. You can find the current operating software for the control unit and the cassette, the software "BE-Flash"
and the current assembly instructions on the website "www.triax.com".
The cassette is intended for use in CSE 3300 head-end systems.
2.5 so ft wa req ueryCont rolu n it
If necessary, you can activate the indication of the software version of the
control unit manually:
• Press any two keys on the control unit of the head-end station simultaneously
until the display goes dark and the software version, e.g. "V 44" appears.
Cass e tte
The software version of the cassette is shown in the display after activating the
cassette (see page 18).
- 7 - CCS-2 1002
2.6 howt he tPs mo d uleworks
After decoding QPSK- or 8PSK-modulated signals, the demodulated data
streams and the data stream fed via the ASI socket can be accessed via the
integrated TPS module. These data streams, also called transport streams,
contain several stations in all their components (video, audio, data and service
information), which can be changed using the TPS module.
Station filter
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output symbol rate. Additionally stations of the different transport
streams can be assembled to a new transport stream. Tables are adjusted
automatically.
Stuffing
The transport stream is padded using what is known as zero data. This ensures
a steady and constant output data rate.
Changing the Transport stream and ORGNET-ID
The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of a transponder are
split into the transport streams of the channel strips "A" and "B", one of the
both transport streams a new identification (ORGNET-ID resp. TS-ID) must be
allocated to realise the channel search of the settop boxes connected without
mistakes.
If an ID is changed a new NIT must be generated.
Changing the NIT
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receiv-
ers evaluate and require for convenient use. The TPS module can adjust the
"Network Information Table" (NIT) to accommodate the new station data. The
"NIT" contains data which is required by the set-top boxes connected to the
cable network for the automatic search feature.
Changing the operator ID (CAT)
Some network operators transmit an operator ID in the data stream (e.g.
visAvision). By changing the CAT the operator ID can be adjusted to the current demands.

3.1 ins tal lingt heC asset te
– Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate.
Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any
other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.
– Before installing or changing a cassette unplug the power cable from the
mains power socket.
• Remove the fastening screws 1 of an unoccupied slot from the bracket of
the head-end station.
• Insert the cassette in this slot and push it into the housing.
• Align the cassette and apply slight pressure to connect it to the connections
of the board and the HF bus bar.
• Fasten the cassette with the screws 1.

To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines
leading in and out of the head-end station using cable terminals.
When mounting the cassette in a head-end station which is installed in a 19"
cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for the 19" cabinet are
made using cable terminals.

3.5 re trof i tting a Ca modu le
The cassette is equipped with a common interface. It allows you to connect a
CA module for various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled
channels can only be descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scrambling system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all
the information for authorisation, descrambling and subscription.
Caution
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be used
to ensure that it is suitable for decoding several channels.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly prepared
and tested.
– Any changes made by programme provider to the structures in the pro-
gramme data might impair or even prevent this function.
– When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding operat-
ing manual from the respective provider.
• Insert the smart card into the CA module so that the chip 3 on the smart
card 1 faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module 2.
• Insert the CA module into the slot 4 with the top side of the CA module
facing the RS-232 socket of the cassette.
• Push the CA module without canting into the guide rails of the CA slot 4
and contact it to the common interface.

Chan nel / freq u enCysetti ng
In this menu, you can select the channel or frequen cy setting for the adjustment
of the HF output. The channel setting covers the range of channels C5 … C12
and C21 … C69, the frequency setting covers the range from 42.0 MHz to
860.0 MHz.
—> The COFDM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth
of 8 MHz. This means that you can only use the channel centre
frequency of the existing channel grid in the range of channels
C21…C69 (frequency grid 8 MHz). The CCIR channel grid is
7 MHz in the range of the lower frequency bands (channels C5 …
C12). If 8 MHz COFDM signal packages are transmitted in these
channel ranges, this will result in interference (overlapping) and
transmission problems.
For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency rang-
es below them, we recommend starting with frequency 306 MHz
going back in steps of 8 MHz (see frequency table on page 44).
Please note thereby that many receivers cannot receive the channel
ranges S21…S41 (306 … 466 MHz).

After installing the head-end station, upgrading accessories or installing cas-
settes it is necessary to tighten all cable connections, cable terminals and cover
screws in order to maintain compliance with current EMC regulations securely.
• Securely tighten the cable connections using an appropriate open-ended
spanner.
• Measure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform
output level using the appropriate level controls or software dependent on
the head-end station used. Please regard the assembly instructions of the
respective head-end station.
—> In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the
cable system, the output level of the cassette must be
4dB compared to the analogous level (PAL).
• Mount the front cover (see assembly instructions of the head-end station).
