2.4 Description
The twin transmodulator cassette is a converter, which converts all stations
modulated according to DVB-S / DVB-S2 standard into two COFDM-modulated
signals according to DIN EN 300744 for feeding into a cable network. The cas-
sette has two digital SAT IF inputs and an HF output. Additionally it is equipped
with an ASI input and an ASI output (ASI – Asynchronous Serial Interface acc.
DIN EN 50083-9).
The transport stream fed via the ASI socket can be inserted into the transport
streams of the receiving stages via the TPS module. T he signal path is set in the
menu items input signal path “INROUTE” and output signal path ”OUTROUTE” .
2.4.1 Input signal path “INROUTE”
2.4.1.1 Menu setting “A+ASI = 1 B+ASI = 2”
The transport streams of the receiving stage “TS A” and of the ASI input “TS ASI”
generate the transport stream 1. The transport streams of the receiving stage
“TS B” and of the ASI input “TS ASI” generate the transport stream 2.

2.4.1.2 Menu setting “A+B+ASI = 1 ASI = 2”
The transport streams of the receiving stages “TS A” and “TS B” and of the ASI
input “TS ASI” generate the transport stream 1.
The “TS ASI” transport stream fed
via the ASI input generates the transport stream 2.
2.4.2 Output signal path “OUTROUTE”
2.4.2.1 Menu setting “ASI => ASI”
Transport stream 1 is made available via modulator “A”, transport stream 2 via
modulator “B” and the transport stream from the ASI input “TS ASI” via the ASI
output.
2.4.2.2 Menu setting “1 => ASI ASI => MA”
Transport stream 1 is made available via the ASI output, transport stream 2 via
modulator “B” and the transport stream from the ASI input “TS ASI” via modula-
tor “A” (MA).

Transport stream 1 is made available via modulator “A”, transport stream 2 via
the ASI output and the transport stream from the ASI input “TS ASI” via modula-
tor “B” (MB).
2.4.3 General
The cassette is equipped with two channel strips (“ A ” and “ B ”). The channel
strips consist of the digital tuners, the digital signal preparation units and the out-
put 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 via channel strip “A”. The control of the cassette takes place
via the control unit of the head-end station.
Two LEDs provide an indication of the SAT IF input signal quality based on
their colour and indicate if the respective channel strip is switched on (LED
illuminates) or off. Additionally the quality of the transport stream received is
displayed (“CN…”). The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing)
processes the data of the transport streams.
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. Additionally a transport stream is made avail-
able via the ASI output dependent on the signal path set.
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 38” 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.gss.tv”.
The cassette is designed for use in the following head-end stations:
– STC 1200
– STC 316
– STR 19-8

2.5 Software query
Control unit
If necessary, you can activate the indication of the software version of the con-
trol 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 38” appears.
2.6 How the TPS module works
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.
The individual functions
Station filter
Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, consequent-
ly, the output symbol rate. Additionally stations of the different transport streams
can be assembled to a new transport stream.
Stuffing
The transport stream is padded using what is known as zero data. This ensures
a steady and constant output data rate.
Changing the NIT
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receivers
evaluate and require for convenient use. The TPS module can adjust the “Net-
work 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. visAvi-
sion). By changing the CAT the operator ID can be adjusted to the current
demands.

3 Assembly
3.1 Installing the cassette
– 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 1of 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.
3.2 EMC regulations
To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the
lines leading in and out of the head-end station using F terminals.
When mounting the cassette in a STR 1 9-8 head-end station which is in-
stalled in a 19” cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for
the 19” cabinet are made using F terminals.
The attenuation of s hielding of t he connection lines for ASI and an tenna
must meet the requirements for “Class A”.
