in accordance wit t e applicable VDE directives. In case of incorrect installation, no liability is
assumed.
Never open t e device. T ere are no parts to be maintained by t e user inside t e device, owever,
let al voltages are present. T is also applies to cleaning t e device or working on t e connections.
Use only t e mains cable enclosed to t e device. Never replace any parts or make any modifications to
t e mains cable. Ot erwise, t ere is a risk of deat .
If you intend not to use t e device for a longer period of time, we recommend you to completely
disconnect t e device from t e mains for safety reasons and for saving energy by pulling out t e mains
plug.
Let t e device adjust to t e room temperature before commissioning, in particular if condensation is
present on t e device, or if it was exposed to large temperature fluctuations.
T e device must be operated only in moderate climate.
T e device must be operated only in dry rooms. In damp rooms or outdoors, t ere is a risk of s ort-
circuits (attention: risk of fire) or electrical s ocks (attention: risk of deat ).
T e device s all not be exposed to dripping or splas ing. Do not place objects filled wit liquids suc
as vases on t e device.
Plan t e mounting or installation location suc t at you can easily reac t e mains plug and interrupt
t e electric circuit in dangerous situations. Select t e mounting or installation location suc t at
c ildren cannot play near t e device and its connections wit out supervision. T e mounting or
installation location must allow a safe installation of all connected cables. Power supply cables and
supply cables must not be damaged or squeezed by any objects.
Operate t e device only on a flat, firm surface and protect it against unintentional movements.

1.3. Inputs/multituner
Headend devices wit multituner can receive DVB-S/S2/S2x, DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C. For receiving DVB-T/T2
or DVB-C the LNB power has to e switched off efore connecting a antenna ca el to one of the HF inputs
(see 3.3.2 on page 16)!
Direct connection to the LNBs
T e devices ave a remote supply voltage for t e LNB and DiSEqC 1.0 functionalities at t e inputs. T e inputs
can be connected directly to t e LNB.
Multiswitches as input distri utors (recommended)
Optionally, you can also use multiswitc es as input distributors. T e advantage of t is solution is t at you can set
bot t e polarization and t e satellite via t e user interface. C anges in t e list of programmes can be made using
remote maintenance, so t at it is not necessary to c ange or modify t e input distribution on site.
Demodulation of the data stream
T e selection of t e frequency and t e demodulation of t e data stream are bot done in t e tuner.
If needed, t e programmes from t e data flow of t e demodulated transponder can be filtered (Remux mode).
T anks to t e Cross Multiplex Mode, FTA programmes (Free to Air) can be filtered from t e data flow of several
tuners for a common output c annel and be bundled again.
T e prepared data flow is passed on to t e modulators.

To access t e user interface, you need a standard PC/laptop wit a network interface and t e actual version of t e
installed web browser. To connect t e network interface of t e eadend to t e computer, you need a
commercially available network cable.
T e HTTP protocol is used for communication allowing a worldwide remote maintenance of t e systems at
various locations via t e Internet. Access protection is implemented by means of t e password prompt.
IP address: 192.168.0.145
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
T e computer and t e eadend must be in t e same subnetwork. T e network part of t e IP address of t e
computer must be set to 192.168.0. and t e subnet mask must be set to 255.255.255.0.
T e ost part of t e network address is required for t e identification of t e devices and can be assigned in t e
subnetwork only once. You can allocate to t e computer any not allocated ost address between 0 and 255.
Hint:
C ange t e IP address and t e subnet mask of your computer accordingly.
(e.g.: IP address:192.168.0.11 and subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
Control panel > Network connections > LAN connection >Properties > Internet protocol version 4 TCP/IPv4 >
Properties > Use the following IP address:
Click OK to save.
Start your web browser and enter t e IP address of t e eadend: e.g.: 192.168.0.145.
3.1. Login and logout
T e web-based user interface is protected against unaut orized access. W en accessing t e user interface, t e
first t ing is t e password request.

Language

3.2. Front page
T e relevant information required for t e function of t e system are s own on t e front page. T e decisive t ing
is t e quality of t e signals at t e INPUT and t e utilization of t e modulators at t e OUTPUT.
3.2.1. Input
T e bit error rate BER of all four tuners is s own on t e left side. T e amount of bit errors for t e last 1,000,000
transferred bits is calculated.
Also t e LEVEL and t e C/N ratio are s own.
3.2.2. Outputs
T e fill level of all modulators is s own. 100% modulator fill level correspond to t e maximal net data rate of
t e output c annel.
If t e current fill level exceeds t e maximal fill level, it may cause image disturbances, e.g. mosaic images.
T e data rates of t e programmes are not constant. T ey are dynamically c anged by t e sender. To ensure an
undisturbed reception, a reserve must absolutely be observed.
We recommend you to set the maximal fill level to 90%.
From a fill level of 95%, t is is indicated in red.

During t e first p ase of t e initialization, t e tuner settings required for t e scan are made and t e station
scanning is carried out. T e four tuners work independently from eac ot er and after t e same principle.
3.3.1. DVB-S/S2/S2x
Click TUNER 1…8 to select one tuner.
Configure t e needed settings for all tuners.
T e SAT IF frequency of t e transponder is entered in t e input field Freq (MHz).
T e input fields Low LNB LO Freq (MHz) and High LNB LO Freq (MHz) correspond to t e oscillator
frequencies of t e LNB in low and ig band. T e default settings of t e oscillator frequencies are 9,750 MHz
for t e low band and 10,600 MHz for t e ig band.
In t e optional field Polarisation, you can switc from orizontal to vertical.
In t e optional field DiSEqC, t e DiSEqC command signals can be turned off or set to switc a DiSEqC-enabled
multi switc on t e positions 1 to 4.
If required, t e operating voltage for t e LNB can be switc ed off via t e optional field LNB Power.
After all settings ave been made, click SCAN.

3.4.1. Remux mode
If t e t e Network ID are set on auto, t e device works in t e Remux mode. In t is mode, t e IDs from t e set
transponder and from t e satellite are used and forwarded to t e modulators wit virtually no c anges. T e
TS ID1 to TS ID8 of t e four modulators, are also set on auto.
Note:
If t e device is already set to CROSS MULTIPLEX MODE, set t e Network ID to auto.
Click on SAVE CHANGES.
T e device ist set back to REMUX MODE.
Assigning programmes
Every tuner is assigned to a modulator. T e programmes of t e tuner can only be assigned to t e associated
modulator.
For example click in table TUNER 1 on M1.
T e program is assigned to modulator 1. T e button of t e modulator is ig lig ted in color (a new click on a
modulator allow t e assignment to be canceled. T e modulator fades t en again).
C oose t e programmes for TUNER 1 to TUNER 8.
Click on SAVE CHANGES.
T e assignment is saved tot e device.
Service ID
In remux mode t e column Service ID is grayed and disabled until user enters network ID (c ange into cross
multiplex mode).
3.4.2. Cross Multiplex Mode
T e cross multiplex mode is used:
To split t e programmes of a transonder to several modulators.
To merge pogams of several transponders into one output c annel.
Transmission capacities in t e distribution networks can be optimized.

C ange t e Network ID to a value greater t an zero.
Click on SAVE CHANGES.
T e IDs of t e transport streams TS ID1 to TS ID8 are automatically incremented by one to four, t e cross
multiplex mode is activated.
Important:
T e CROSS MULTIPLEX MODE can not be used for CA programmes, w ic are encrypted in t e
aedend!
A splitted transponder works like two transponders.
If you use t e cross multiplex mode in several eadends, t e Network IDs of t e eadends ave to be
different.
Assigning programmes to the modulators
In t e cross multiplex mode, t e tuners are no longer assigned to one modulator.
Click t e table TUNER 1 to TUNER 4 on M1.
T e programs are assigned to modulator 1.
