1. Safety and operating instructions
When assembling, starting-up and adjusting the modules, it is necessary to consider the system specic references in the
manual instruction!
The modules may only be installed and started up by authorized technical personnel!
When assembling the modules into the receiving points, the adherence of the EMC regulations is to be secured!
The assembly and wiring have to be done without voltage!
All active modules may only be operated with the Headend Controller HCB x00 or Bus Extender BEB x00!
The main voltage and the operating voltage of the modules working by DC have to be in complience to the operating para-
meters described in the technical data.
With all work the defaults of the DIN EN 50083 have to be considered! Especially the safetyrelevant execution of the
DIN EN 60728-11 [6] is necessary!

3. General
The TWIN SAT Streamer SSI 108 is a module of the head end system B-LINE, which is conceived as a complete system for middle
sized networks. The SSI 108 demodulates DVB-S/-S2 signals (8PSK, QPSK) into 2 transport streams, which are sended out over IP.
A Common Interface slot enables the use of CA-Modules for the reception of scrambled SAT signals/ programs. Additionally the pro-
cessed transport streams with the descrambled services are available on the ASI output, and the max. 16 IP transport streams too.
All the components are programmed via a central control unit and will function independently thereafter. The status of the modules
are displayed via LED’s (see chapter 7.2 “Status LED‘s “).

4. Front view
5. Functional description
The SAT-IF input signal is fed to the DVB-S/ -S2 front end, where the selection of a transponder and its QPSK or 8PSK demodulation
are done. The data stream is routed by a switching matrix either to the Common Interface or directly to the IP module. A respective
CA module with smart card, which is supported by the device, has to be used for descrambling.*Multi service decryption is possible
if there are not any restrictions by the CAM itself or by the service provider. The decryption of MPEG-4 services is supported. With
this module its possible to choose elementary streams of a service for decryption. So the ressources of the respective CAM/ smart
card combination can be used optimally. The SI and PSI tables affected (i.e. the PAT, PMT, SDT, EIT) are automatically corrected. 16
of all programs contained in both transport streams can be selected and transmitted via IP. This is supported by different protocols.
Address and port selection are not restricted, but should be orientated itselfs according recommendations of IANA. The module
alows the output of one single program transport stream (SPTS) per IP connection, but also the output of one of both multi program
transport streams (MPTS), that can be decrypted. For monitoring there is an ASI output to check one of the 16 stream channels.
A permanent 12 V voltage for LNC supply is available at the SAT inputs.
* The design of the Common interface of this module is done according to DVB standards. Because of the dependencies in interaction of the DVB si-
gnals, CA modules and smart cards we can not assure a general functional capability for all application possibilities. Please contact our service
department for further assistance!
6. Adjustments
6.1 Adjustment with the Headend Controller
· Adjustment of the addresses at the Bus Extender BEB x00 and at the modules
· Activation of the programming mode on each module by selecting the line (BEB x00) and the module position (01... 15) at the
Headend Controller (HCB x00)
→ yellow LED illuminates until the beginning of the parameter adjustment
· Adjustment of the SSI 108 parameters (see chapter 9) →green LED is switched on
· After the programming the SSI 108 will be automatically switched into the operating mode
→ yellow LED ashes shortly/ green LED is switched on
6.2 Adjustment with the PC/ laptop
· Prerequisite for the remote programming is an “online-connection” according the IP standard and an ethernet connection at the
PC/ laptop
· Adjustment of the line/ position addresses at the Bus Extender BEB x00 as well as at the modules
· At the Headend Controller HCB x00 input IP address (default: 192.168.2.80)
· For “direct connection” between a PC and HCB x00 use crossover cable (RJ 45)
· For connection over a HUB use a normal straight throught patch cable
· Start-up HTML browser and put in IP address as target address
· If connected correctly the web interface will be opened on the pc and a blue LED (LINK) at the HCB x00 will be lit up.
· All adjustments of the modules are specied on the web interface.

On these pages all menus implemented in the CA module are
offered. The available menus are selected individually or are
invoked one-by-one to do necessary settings or to get all infor-
mations about the CA module.
8.4 Multi-decryption menu (menu 3)
When calling this menu the selection of the services of the adjusted transponder, which were selected for decryption and whose de-
cryption was successfully, appears. Indicated are the program name with the number of the decoded PID‘s, the decryption settings
and the status of the program. “Stored“ means, that the service was successfull decrypted and saved in the CA-service-list. Using
the check box “Clear entries“ and the ”Transmit/ Back“ button the entire selection will be deleted and no services are decrypted after-
wards. By using the “Selection“ button and the appropriate selection of the services in the multi-decryption selection menu (menu 4)
the list of the services to decrypt can be changed.
Using the “Testing selection“ button calls the test menu (menu 5), in which the decryption state of all programs in the CA-service-list
will be tested again and possible occurring errors will be listed.

8.5 Multi-decryption selection (menu 4)
In this menu all services of the adjusted transponder and their CA status are listed. The services are selectable for decryption. For
each of this selected services one can determine, what streams or PID‘s are to be decrypted. That‘s important because the maximum
number of the decryptable PID‘s is limited and this limit has a different size per CA module.
In the selection boxes “MPEG 1/ 2 Audio Streams“ respective “Subtitling Streams“ all, no or individual streams are selectable. If one
wants to select more than one stream, but not all , the selection eld ”all“ in the box is to be selected and in the column “PID-Drop
list“ all PID‘s have to be entered, that shall not be decrypted.*
In the column “PID-Drop list“ all PID‘s are listed, that shall not be decrypted. The PID‘s can be given in decimal or hexadecimal format
and have to be separated by a semicolon. The maximum number of PID‘s is 10.**
Individual CA modules have to be initialized once again before the CA services will be sent to the module. To do so the option “Reset
CA-Modul“ can be activated.
*“Other Audio Streams“ includes all AC3-, DTS- and AAC-Streams. „Private Streams“ selects all streams which are not captured by the other selection
elds.
** Particularly Pid‘s can be given here, which are active only at times and no authorisation for decryption is available for them.

service is stated by using the “Info“ button, the relevant information page of the test (menu 6) is displayed.
By clicking of the “Transmit/ Back“ button all settings are transmitted. The “Selection“ button routes back to menu 4 to correct input
values, e.g. too much PID‘s were selected.
8.7 Multi-decryption test information (menu 6)

all settings of the service are adopted when the service is selected in the list.
The selection “Service data rate“ of the stream data rate is creating a VBR data stream. This mode should be selected only for appro-
priate target devices, because it will affect PCR accuracy. If there are doubts about it, selection of “TS data rate“ or “User dened“ data
rate is strongly recommended.

Some CA modules request ressource “Date & Time“ while being initialised. Otherwise this setting should remain deactivated. In the
eld “CAM Handling“ for special CAMs (as SKY V13 or V14) a selection is to make, so that the appropriate CAMs initialize correctly.
The smart card activation mode should only be turned on when a new smart card will be enabled or an expired smart card will be re-
activated. Thus, the monitoring functions, necessary for the proper operation of the device, will be disabled in order to ensure trouble-
free data exchange to enable the card. Depending on the provider, this process may take some time. It should be noted that in this
