2.3 Description
The cassettes convert up to 4 DVB-SPI data streams in one QAM-modulated
data stream. The cassettes are controlled via the head end station. Each cas-
sette has four DVB-SPI inputs and one HF output. Each of the cassettes has
fourchannelstrips("A","B","C","D")thatareindicatedinthedisplayofthe
controlunitwith"Bx…A","Bx…B","Bx…C"and"Bx…D".
The integrated TP module (TP – Transport Stream Processing) processes the
data from the data streams. It can be used to change service information (NIT
–NetworkInformationTable),select stations/ channel stripsand increase
the data rates (stuffing). The TP module enables the generation of a new data
stream from up to 4 data streams.
The processed input signals are fed via the HF output to the HF output collector
of the head end station. The output level of the cassettes can be set with the

- 6 - PEDQ 3005/4005/5005 QMX
level regulator (max. –20 dB) at the output collector of the head end station.
 When the head end station is switched on, the two-line LC display briefly
shows the software version of the control unit and then the cassette type of the
slot occupied first.
You can use a PC or notebook to update the operating software of the cas-
settes via the 9-pin SUB-D socket (RS 232) in the cassette ("BE Flash" software).
You can find the current operating software of the cassettes on the website
"www.gss.de".
The cassettes are intended for use in the head end stations PSU12,PSU8and

How to query the software version of the cassette is described in "Querying
software versions" on page 18.

 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 41 ",isdisplayed.
2.3.2 TP module functions
 WhenconvertingthetransportstreamsignalstoQAM-modulatedcablesignals,
thedatastreamcanbeaccessedviatheintegratedTPmodule.Thisdatastream,
alsocalledtransportstream,containsseveralstationsinalltheircomponents
(video,audio,dataandserviceinformation),whichcanbechangedusingthe
TP module.
Station filter
Individual stations and channel strips can be switched on or off. This changes
thedatarateand,consequently,theoutputsymbolrate.
Stuffing
The transport stream is padded using what is referred to as zero data. This
increasesthedatarateand,consequently,theoutputsymbolrate.Changing
the output symbol rate alters the bandwidth used appropriately (halving the
output symbol rate roughly halves the bandwidth at the output).

- 7 - PEDQ 3005/4005/5005 QMX
Changing service information
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables that the receivers evalu-
ate and require for convenient use. The TP module can change the "Network
Information Table" (NIT). The "NIT" contains data that is required by the set-top
box for the automatic search feature.
2.3.3 Explanation of the term "symbol rate"
Modulation methods such as QPSK and QAM transmit multiple bits simultane-
ously. These are referred to as symbols. Error correction bits are transferred in
addition to the user data stream which transmits video and audio information.
The FEC number specifies the ratio of error correction bits to user bits.
Processing small symbol rates
A low data rate means that the output symbol rate will be very low. With some
digitalreceivers,thismaycausereceptionproblems.Thiscanberemediedby
using the stuffing option to set the QAM modulation to a higher value.
Defined symbol rates
Some cable operators specify a fixed symbol rate (e.g. 6900 kilosymbols per
second).

2.4 Updating the cassette software
The RS-232 interface required to update the cassette software is fitted on the
board inside the cassette.

3.2 Connecting the cassette
To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines
leading in and out of the head end station (e.g. cinch, HF) using cable termi-
nals.
When mounting the cassette in a head end station which is installed in a 19"
cabinet, make sure that the connections leading in and out (e.g. cinch, HF) at
the 19" cabinet are made using cable terminals.
 • Inserttherequirednumberofstandardcableterminals(e.g.cinch,HF)inthe
openings provided (knock-outs) in the front of the head end station or the
19" cabinet.
—> The cable terminals used are standard and are not included in the scope
of delivery.
Tighten the nuts of the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washers put
under the nuts have penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is
made between the housing and cable terminal.

Bx 1
112.00 MHz
OUTPUT:
The QAM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of 8 MHz. That
means that you can only use the mean channel frequency of the existing chan-
nel raster in the range of channels S21 … C69 (frequency raster 8 MHz). The
channel raster is 7 MHz in the range of the lower frequency bands (channels
C2 … S20).
That is why the frequency setting is used here. If one were to use the normal
channel raster in these channel ranges, this would result in interference (over-
lapping) with the 8 MHz QAM signal packages, thus causing transmission
problems.
