Operating instructions V 532
1 Description
The V 532 plug-in board is used for converting two independent DVB-S(2)-inputs
and two ASI-inputs into two independent & DVB-conformant QAM-output chan-
nels. It can process both HDTV signals as well as SDTV signals. The V 532
is designed for processing the so-called Barker-channel. This Barker channel
contains information about the channel occupancy (NIT = Network Information
Table), registration data (EMMs) and other transport stream information. The NIT,
EMMs and where appropriate other transport stream data originally contained in
the transport stream of the user channel are replaced. The user transport stream
contains the NIT, the EMMs and where appropriate other transport stream infor-
mation about the Barker channel. The Event Information Table (EIT) for obtaining
the EPG data is also multiplexed. The EIT from all channels – transformed by the
V 532 – can be written into every output channel of the QAM network.
The plug-in board is also capable of eliminating services from the transport
stream of the user channel in a standard-conformant manner (by processing the
DVB-Tables).
The V 532 has two channel output filters for improving the performance of the
output signal.
When starting up the device care should be taken to ensure that all channels have
the same output level and where appropriate, are matched to existing units.
The delivery package contains 2 cables for connecting the SAT-Tuners, and 2
cables for connecting the ASI-Interfaces (KMX on F)
Note:
The V 532 is only to be used in the V16 base unit!
The V16 base unit may only be installed with a maximum of 6 V 532 units!
Please observe the following:
Exchange or replacement of the modules may only be undertaken by IHK tested
and authorised technical personnel (Certified specialist). When doing so, the dan-
ger and safety warnings given in the operating instructions of the V16 base units,
together with the relevant safety guidelines according to DIN VDE-Regulation
0701, Part 1 and 200, must be observed.

2Preferred board types
After installation in the base unit, the V 532 board can be programmed with the
HE-Programming software. If it is not possible to select the board in the HE-
Programming software, then you should check the settings under "Options" R
"Preferred board types“. The board must be activated with a tick, so that it is vis-
ible in the selection in the planning screen of the basic unit. After selecting the
basic unit the V 532 board appears in the planning screen of the basic unit on the
plug-in slot that was used.
Please observe the following: recommended software version.
V16: xx.27
Programming software: 5.40

3Password protection for MTP function
In order to prevent unauthorised operation of the V 532, the board can be pro-
vided with password protection. Password entry is accessed via "Options“ R
"Password protection for MTP function“
After activation of password protection the user is requested to enter the pass-
word. This password must consist of a max. 6 characters.
Every write command (e.g. "program board“) must now be confirmed and ena-
bled by entering the password. The same applies to the removal of password
protection.

4 Planning screen of the basic unit
After selecting the basic unit the V 532 is displayed on the planning screen of the
basic unit.
Under "HF Parameter A" and "HF Parameter B" on the planning screen of the
basic unit, the output channels of the V 532 board are selected, that is, the chan-
nels in which the QAM channels assembled from the DVB-S(2) / ASI Bouquet are
to be fed into the cable.
If the user now clicks the "Details" button, this opens the screen with the board
details. Here all relevant settings for operation of the device are made.

5 Hardware configuration
In the "Hardware configuration" sub-item, preparations can be made in offline
mode for programming the V 532 board, which can then be programmed into the
module on site.
5.1 Tuner selection
Tuner selection is required as part of the offline programming in the office. Here
the planner can select the tuners that will later be used in the unit. If a selection
is made that does not correspond to the tuner being used, then an error message
will be generated after programming of the board.
5.2 Global SDT other / EIT other processing
The ASI ports of the V 532 can be configured as required. If trans-module so-
called "global processing“ of the SDT other and EIT other is intended to take
place, this is enabled by activating the "Global SDT other/EIT other-Processing"
check box. Since this function requires the various V 532 boards of the QAM
network to exchange data between themselves, this selection also has implica-
tions for the configuration of the ASI ports. For exchanging information the KMX
connectors located on the V 532 are used. If the flag is not set, then the board
functions as a "Four into four" multiplexer, i.e. 2 x DVB-S2 inputs plus 2 x ASI
inputs into 2 QAM output channels plus 2 ASI output streams.

5.3 "Three into three" or "Four into two“ multiplexer
In the "1 ASI-input / 1 ASI-output“ mode the V 532 board functions as a "Three
into three" multiplexer, i.e. 2 x DVB-S2 inputs plus 1 x ASI input into 2 QAM out-
put channels plus one ASI output stream:
In the "2 ASI-inputs / no ASI-output" mode the V 532 board functions as a "Four
into two“ multiplexer, i.e. 2 x DVB-S2 inputs plus 2 x ASI inputs into 2 QAM output
channels:
