 ThetwintransmodulatorcassetteisaQPSK-converter,whichconvertsallsta-
tions transmitted according to DVB-S / DVB-S2 standard into two QAM-modu-
lated cable signals. The cassette has two digital SAT inputs and an HF output.
Additionally it is equipped with an ASI input and an ASI output (ASI – Asyn-
chronous Serial Interface acc. DIN EN 50083-9).
The transport stream fed via the ASI socket (TS ASI) is inserted into the transport
streams of the receiving stages via the TPS module. In this way data can be
added or removed. T he output signal path is set in the menu item "OUTROUTE" .

2.4.3 General
Using the software PSW 1000 the transport streams of the cassette can be
processed.Thismeansthatthedata(PSI,NIT, SIetc.)primary containedin
the transport stream can be replaced by the data processed with the software
PSW 1000 .
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". The control of the cassette takes place via
the control unit of the head-end station.
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 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 41"
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,PGT8 and PST 19-1.

– 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.

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.

The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines must meet the requirements
for "Class A".
