2.4 Description
The twin transmodulator cassette is a QPSK-converter, which converts all sta-
tions modulated according to DVB-S and QPSK standard into two PAL-modu-
lated cable signals ( HDM 2380 P CI in CCIR standard/ HDM 2380 OIRT CI in
OIRT standard). The cassette has two digital SAT IF inputs and one HF output.
It is equipped with two channel strips. Each channel strip consists of a digital
tuner, a digital signal preparation unit and a modulator. The cassette ‘s channel
strips are indicated by “Bx …A“ or “Bx …B” in the control unit display.
The channel strip “A” can descramble scrambled channels via a correspond-
ing CA module. Depending on the CA module and the smart card, two chan-
nels can be descrambled simultaneously with one CA module, with the second
one supplied via channel strip “B”. Using the integrated time control you can
select alternate channels. 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. Additionally the quality of the transport stream received is dis-
played (“CN…”). If the data of channel strip ”A” are used in channel strip ”B”
the status LED of channel strip ”B” is switched off.
The prepared input signals reach the HF output collector of the head-end sta-
tion via the HF output socket. The common output level of the channel strips
can be set at the HF 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. 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”.

- 7 - HDM 2380 P CI / HDM 2380 OIRT CI
The cassette is designed for use in the following head-end stations:
STC 1200, STC 316, STR 19-8 and PST 19-1.
2.5 Software 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 afterwards the software version, e.g. “ V 41 ”
appears.

After activating the cassette the software version of the cassette is displayed
(see page 16).
3 Assembly
3.1 Installing the cassette
– 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.
CLASS
KLASSE
The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines must meet the requirements
for “Class A”.
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.

—> Cable terminals are not included in the scope of delivery.
Tighten the nut on the cable terminal until the teeth on the lock washer have pen-
etrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the housing
and cable terminal.

3.5 Updating the software
The RS 232 interface of the cassette $enables you to use a PC or a notebook
and the “BE-Flash” software to update the software of the cassette.
You can find the “BE-Flash” software and the current operating software of the
cassette at the website “www.gss.de”.

3.6 Retrofitting a CA module
The cassette is equipped with a common interface. It allows you to connect a
CA module for various scrambling systems and service providers. Scrambled
channels can only be descrambled with a CA module suitable for the scram-
bling system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all the
information for authorisation, descrambling and subscription.
– 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 program providers to the structures in the program
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 1 into the CA module 2 so that the chip 3 on the
smart card faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module.
