2.4 desCriPtion
The cassette converts services (programmes) modulated in DVB-S-/DVB-S2
standard
into one outgoing QAM modulated signal for feeding into a cable
network
.
The
cassette
has two SAT inputs and one RF output. It is equipped with
two input channel strips ("
A
" and "
B
")
TPS
Tuner A
Tuner B
CA Modul
Modulator HF Output
The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station display with "Bx …A"
and "Bx …B". Using one adequate CA module scrambled stations of two trans-
ponders can be descrambled
. 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 (only when stations are selected). 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 QAM modulated RF output signals are sent through the RF output of the
cassette to the output collector. The common output level of the channel strips
can be set at the output collector.
Software update for the operating software of the cassette is possible via satellite.
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
- 7 - HDTV 1200 C CI
of the control unit must be "V 45" or higher. You can find the current operating
software for the control unit, the software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly
instructions on the website "www.mygss.eu".
The cassette is intended for use in the
STANDARD LINE
head-end stations.
2.5 soft ware query
Control unit
If necessary, you can activate the indication of the software version of the
control 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 45" appears.
Cassette
The software version of the cassette, e.g. "V 45", is shown in the display after
activating the cassette (see page 16).
2.6 how the tPs module works
After decoding QPSK or 8PSK -modulated signals, the demodulated data
streams 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.
station seleCtion
Individual stations can be selected. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output symbol rate. Additionally stations of the different transport
streams can be assembled to a new transport stream.
Changing the transPort stream and orgnet-id
The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of two transponders are
combined into one transport streams a new identification must be allocated to
realise the channel search of the settop boxes connected without mistakes.
If the ORGNET-ID is changed a new NIT must be generated.
- 8 - HDTV 1200 C CI
Changing the nit
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receiv-
ers evaluate and require for convenient use. The TPS module can adjust the
"Network 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 sid
By default the SIDs are set automatically. When required the SID can be set
manually using the control software
PSW 1000 (from version 43 on).
3 assembly
3.1 installing the Casset te
– 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 1 of 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 RF bus bar.
• Fasten the cassette with the screws 1.

- 9 - HDTV 1200 C CI
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 cable terminals.
When mounting the cassette in a head-end station which is installed in a 19"
cabinet, make sure the connections leading in and out for the 19" cabinet are
made using cable terminals.
CLASS
KLASSE
The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for antenna must meet the
requirements for "Class A".
• Insert the required number of cable terminals in the openings provided in
the head-end station or in the 19
"
cabinet.
Tighten the nuts of the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washers
put under
have penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the
housing
/ 19" cabinet
and cable terminals.

software "BE-Flash". You can find the current operating soft-
ware on the website "www.mygss.eu".
3.4 ConneCting the Casset te
• Connect the RF connections to the inputs
3 (channel strip "
A
") and 5
(channel strip "
B
") .
- 11 - HDTV 1200 C CI
3.5 retrofitting a Ca module
The cassette is equipped with a common interface for CA modules of various
scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled stations can only be
descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scrambling system and the
corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all the information for
authorisation, descrambling and subscription.
Caution
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be used
to ensure that it is suitable for descrambling several channels.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly prepared
and tested.
– Any changes made by programme provider to the structures in the pro-
gramme data might impair or even prevent this function.
– When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding operat-
ing manual from the respective provider.
• Insert the smart card
into the CA module
so that the chip
3 on the smart
card
1 faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module
2.
• Insert the CA module into the slot
4 with the top side of the CA module
facing the left side of the cassette.
• Push the CA module without canting into the guide rails of the CA slot 4
and contact it to the common interface.

5 Programming
5.1 PreParation
• Test the software versions of the head-end station and the cassette and up-
date them if necessary. The current software versions can be found on the
website
"
www.mygss.eu
"
.
• Connect the test receiver to the RF output or the test output of the head-end
station.
• Set the output channel / output frequency of the
cassette
(page 20) and adjust
the TV test receiver to this channel / frequency.
•
Switch on the modulator if necessary (
page
17).
5.2 notes on Programming via the Control soft ware
It is much more convenient to programme the cassette via the control software
PSW 1000.
—> Therefore please read the operating instructions for the software
PSW 1000
, you will find at "www.mygss.eu". If you do not have
internet access, we will send you a DVD on request.
A quick setup of the cassette and filter settings as well as remapping a service
ID (SID) is only possible via
PSW 1000 (from version 43 on).
—> Therefore observe chapter 5.6, page 33
5.3
notes on level setting
In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the cable sys-
tem, the output level of the cassette must be decreased by 10dB compared to
analogue cassettes at 64 QAM, and by 4 dB compared to analogue cassettes
at 256 QAM.
• Measure the output levels of the other cassettes and tune them to a uniform
output level using the appropriate level controls or software dependent on
the head-end station used.
—> Please regard the assembly instructions of the respective head-end
station.

outPut Channel / outPut frequenCy
In this menu, you can select the channel or frequen cy setting for the adjustment
of the RF output. The channel setting covers the range of channels S21 …
C69, the frequency setting covers the range from 42.0 MHz to 860.0 MHz.
—> The QAM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of 8 MHz.
This means that you can only use the channel centre frequency of
the existing channel grid in the range of channels S21 … C69
(frequency grid 8 MHz). The CCIR channel grid is 7 MHz in the
range of the lower frequency bands (channels C2 … S20). There-
fore the frequency setting is used here. If one uses the existing chan-
nel grid of 7 MHz in these channel ranges, this will result in inter-
ference (overlapping) with the 8 MHz QAM signal packages, thus
causing transmission problems.
For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency
