2.4 desCription
The module HDC 480 CI AV, in the following called digital module, has a QPSK
AV converter which simultaneously converts four QPSK modulated channels into
AV signals. It is equipped with four common interfaces, which enable the de-
scrambling of four scrambled channels when used in conjunction with four CA
modulesandfourappropriatesmartcards.Onechannelcanbedescrambled
with every common interface.
The digital module has four SAT inputs and one AV interface, through which
the decoded AV signals are fed to the corresponding modulator module. Com-
ponents (e.g. LNB) which are connected upstream can be powered through
the SAT inputs.
The channel strips "A" "B", "C" and "D" can be individually programmed. This
means it is possible to select up to 4 channels from four transponders.

The prepared input signals are fed to the modulator module via the AV in-
terface. From there, they are fed to the HF output collector of the head-end
station, through which the level of the output signal can be adjusted via the
software in the head-end station.
The digital module operating software can be updated using a PC or note-
book and the software "BE-Flash" via the 9-pin D-SUB socket on the head-end
station. You can find the current operating software for the digital module,
the software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on the website
"www.gss.de".
This digital module is designed exclusively for use in the STC 160 head-end
station.

Caution
– 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 module, switch off the head-end station or
unplug the power cable from the mains power socket.
 TakemeasurestoprotectagainstESD!
3.1 retrofitting aCa module
The digital module is equipped with four common interfaces for CA modules
of various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled channels 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.
– The hardware and software of the module HDC 480 CI AV have been thor-
oughly prepared and tested.
– Any changes made by program providers to the structures in the program
data might impair or even prevent this function.
– When working with a CA module, please read the corresponding operat-
ing manual from the respective provider.
 • Insertthesmartcard 1into the CA module 2so that the chip 3 on the
smart card faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module (fig. 1).
 • PushtheCAmodule2without canting into the guide rails 4of the com-
mon interface slot 5according to the following picture and contact it to
the common interface.

3.2 installing the digital module
– If a CA module is used, check that the plug contacts of the CA module are
tightly seated in the terminal strip on the digital module and make sure there
is a reliable contact.
– Always position modules which belong together next to each other. The
digital module must be installed to the left of the modulator module.
– When installing the digital module, make sure that it is inserted in a long
numbered groove in front of a contact strip on the board at the rear wall of
the housing.
The shorter not numbered grooves without a contact strip on the board at
the rear wall of the housing are for add-on modules only.
