 ThedoubletransmodulatorcassetteisaQPSK-converter,whichconvertsall
stations modulated according to DVB-S / DVB-S2 standard into two QAM-
modulated cable signals. The cassette has two digital SAT IF inputs and one 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" .

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
output converter. The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station dis-
play with "Bx …A" and "Bx …B". Using an adequate CA module scrambled
channels can be descrambled via channel strip "A". In addition cassette PHDQ
1001 is able to scramble unscrambled channels via an adequate CA module.
The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end sta-
tion.
Two LEDs indicate if the respective channel strip is switched on (LED illumi-
nates)oroff,andalsoprovideanindicationofthesignalqualitybasedon
their colour. Additionally the quality of the transport stream received is dis-
played ("CN…").
The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data
from the demodulated transport streams.
The HF output signals are sent through the HF output of the cassette to the out-
put collector. The common output level of the channel strips can be set at the
output collector. Additionally a transport stream is made available 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 43"
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.de".
The cassette is designed for use in the following head-end stations:
PSU 12,PSU 8-16 and PST 19-1

2.6 How the TPS module works
 After decoding QPSK- or 8PSK-modulated signals, the demodulated data
stream can be accessed via the integrated TPS 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
TPS module.
Station filter
 Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently,theoutputsymbolraterequired.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 symbol rate.
Changing the Transport stream and ORGNET-ID
The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of a transponder are
splitintothetransportstreamsofthechannelstrips"A"and"B",oneofthe
both 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.
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 box for the automatic
search feature.
Changing the operator ID (CAT)
Some network operators transmit an operator ID in the data stream (e.g.
visAvision). By changing the CAT the operator ID can be adjusted to the de-
mands.
