2.3 Description
The Cassettes convert two QPSK -modulated data flows into one QAM-modu-
lated data flow. The Cassettes are controlled via the head end. Each Cassette
has two inputs and one HF output, as well as an integrated multi-transport flow
processor for stuffing, PID pass, drop and service filtering.
For these Cassettes, information from a barker channel can be added or ex-
changed with a transport flow (MTP function, Drop- and service filter). For this
purpose, there are two autonomous reception tuners and one modulator on
which the modified transport flow can be transmitted as a QAM-modulated
signal.
The SDT and PAT tables are automatically generated. All data relevant to the
operation of the Cassette is registered in a logbook with a maximum of 500
entries.
The operating software of the Cassette can be actualised via an external 9-pin
SUB-D-socket, using a PC or notebook, (software “ BE-Flash ”) or settings in the
channel strips “ A ” (service channel) and “ B ” (barker channel) of the Cassette
(PC software “ MTP ”, component of software PSW 1000). You can find the cur-
rent operating software of the Cassettes on the website “ http://www.gss.tv ”.
The prepared input signals are transmitted to the HF output collector of the head
end via the HF output socket. The output level of the Cassettes can be set with the
level regulator (max. –20 dB) at the output collector of the head end.
After the head end has been switched on, the software version of the control
unit is displayed briefly in the two-line LC display and afterwards the type of
Cassette of the first slot.
Approximately five minutes after the last button has been pressed, the software
version of the control unit is displayed.
The Cassettes are designed for use in the following head ends:
– PSU 12
– PSU 8
– PGT 8

2.3.1 Manual display of the software version
If necessary, you can call up the display of the software version of the control
unit manually:
• Hold down any two keys of the control unit simultaneously until the display
goes dark and
the software version, e.g. “ V.3 4 ”, is displayed.
2.3.2 How the TP module works
When converting the QPSK-modulated signal to a QAM-modulated cable signal,
the demodulated data stream can be accessed via the integrated TP module. This
data stream, also called transport stream, contains several stations with all their
components (video, audio, data and service information), which can be changed
using the TP module.
The individual functions
Station filter
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, consequently,
the output symbol rate.
Stuffing
The transport stream is padded out using what is known as zero data. This
increases the data rate and, consequently, the output symbol rate. Changing
the output symbol rate suitably alters the bandwidth used (halving the output
symbol rate roughly halves the bandwidth at the output).
Changing service information
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receivers eval-
uate and require for convenient use. The TP module can change the “Network
Information Table” (NIT). The NIT contains data which the set-top box needs for
the automatic search function.

2.3.3 Explanation of the term “symbol rate”
High-quality modulation methods like QPSK and QAM can encrypt several
bits as a single transferred and received symbol. The user data stream contains
the audio and video signals of a station and is thus permanently assigned. If
the value of the modulation and therefore the number of bits per symbol is in-
creased, the symbol rate falls compared to the user bit rate.
Formulae for calculating the output symbol rate “SR (A)” at a fixed input symbol
rate “SR (E)” and “FEC”.
256-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/4x SR (E)
128 - Q A M: SR (A) = FEC x 2/7x SR (E)
64-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/3x SR (E)
32-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 2/5x SR (E)
16-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/2x SR (E)
4-QAM: SR (A) = FEC x 1/1x SR (E)
Example:
Output symbol rate 64-QAM, FEC= 3/4,
Input symbol rate SR (E) = 27,500 kilosymbols per second
SR (A) = 3/4x 1/3x 27,500 kilosymbols/s
SR (A) = 6,875 kilosymbols/s
Note:
If no “FEC” is stated in the station lists, it can be assumed to be
“FEC =
3/4
”.
Reception from a transponder with a very low symbol rate
(SCPC station)
The extremely low data rate means that the output symbol rate is very low. If
there are reception problems with different digital receivers, set QAM modula-
tion with stuffing to a higher value.
Defined symbol rates
Some cable operators specify a fixed symbol rate (e.g. 6,900 kilosymbols per
second).

3 Assembly
3.1 Installing the Cassette
Warning
Before inserting or changing Cassettes, pull the mains plug of the head end
out of the mains socket.
•
Unscrew the fastening screws from the bracket in the head end.
• Insert the Cassette into a free slot and push it into the housing.
• Align the Cassette and gently make it contact with the connections of the
circuit board and the HF bus bar.
• Fasten the Cassette with the 1screws.
3.2 Connecting the Cassette
• Connect the HF input cable with the input sockets “ INPUT A ” 2
(channel strip A) and “ INPUT B ” 1(channel strip B).
• Connect the head end to the mains power supply.
—> The Cassette is now ready for operation.

Note:
The operating software of the Cassette can be updated via the socket
“RS 232” 3(9-Pin-Sub-D) by means of a PC or notebook.
Use the “BE-Flash” software as the update software. You can make drop
and pass filter settings in the channel strip “B” using the “MTP” PC software.
You can find the current operating software of the Cassettes on the website
“ http://www.gss.tv ”.

5 Programming
The following examples show how the PHDQ 4002 BC Cassette is programmed;
the output channels can be set from S21 … S41. Set the other Cassettes listed
in the same way.
5.1 Preparation
Notes:
Using the menu
“ LEVEL CONTROL ” the Cassette generates an equally powerful
HF carrier on the video carrier frequency of the channel. In this way, the Cas-
sette‘s level can also be set with an analogue TV test receiver set to the video
carrier frequency of the channel. In order to prevent interference within the
head end and the cable system, the output level of the digital Cassettes must
be lowered by approx. 10 dB at 64 QAM and by approx. 4 dB at 256 QAM
compared to analogue Cassettes.
• Connect the test receiver to the “TEST OUTPUT” 1of the
head end.
• Set the output channel of the Cassette (see page 14) and
adjust the TV test receiver to this channel.
• Switch on the modulator if necessary.
• Measure the output level of the analogue Cassettes and, if
necessary, tune them to a uniform output level.
• Check the output level of the digital DVB-MTP Cassettes.
Lower the output level of the appropriate Cassette in re-
lation to the analogue Cassettes at 64 QAM by approx.
10 dB and at 256 QAM by approx. 4 dB with the level
adjuster to the right of the Cassette.
• After programming the Cassette check the output level of
the Cassette again and if necessary set it again.
