2.4 desCription
The Digital Modulator HDMT 660 CI TPS , in the following called COFDM-QAM
module converts two COFDM -modulated data streams into two QAM-modulat-
ed data streams. The COFDM-QAM module has two HF inputs, one HF output
and 2 loop-through outputs .
The COFDM-QAM module is equipped with two channel strips ("A" and "B").
The channel strips consist of the digital tuners, the digital signal processing lev-
els and an output converter. The channel strips are indicated in the head-end
station display with "Bx …A" and "Bx …B". Using an adequate CA module
encoded channels can be decoded via channel strip "A". The control of the
module 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.
The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data
from the demodulated transport streams. This enables service information
(NIT – Network Information Table) to be changed, data rates to be increased
(stuffing) and stations to be deleted from the transport stream (thus optimising
bandwidth for the other stations being transmitted). In addition, the operator
ID (required for e.g. visAvision) can be set.
The HF output signals are sent through the HF output of the COFDM-QAM
module to the output collector.
When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the
"SETUP" menu and the software version of the control unit. The head-end sta-
tion output level can be adjusted in this menu.
The COFDM-QAM module operating software can be updated using a PC or
notebook 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 COFDM-QAM
module, the software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on the
website "www.gss.de".
To operate the COFDM-QAM module the software version of the control unit
must be "V 10" or higher.
The COFDM-QAM module is designed exclusively for use in the STC 160
head-end station.

- 7 - HDMT 660 CI TPS
tps module funCtions
When converting COFDM-modulated signals to QAM-modulated cable sig-
nals, the demodulated data stream can be accessed via the integrated TPS
module. This data stream, also called transport stream, contains several sta-
tions 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. As a result, a
lower output symbol rate can be selected.
stuffing
The transport stream is padded using what is known as zero data. This in-
creases the data rate and, consequently, the output symbol rate. Changing
the output symbol rate suitably alters the bandwidth used (halving the output
symbol rate roughly halves the bandwidth at the output).
Changing serviCe information
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 oper ator 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.

- 8 - HDMT 660 CI TPS
effeCtive assignment of Cable Channels with low bandwidths
seleCplex®
Channels with low bandwidths are the result of filtering out several
unwanted stations from the data stream. These "narrow" channels can
then be arranged in one channel to save space.
—> The required bandwidth (in kHz) is roughly equal to the symbol rate
(kSymb/s) plus 20%.
The modulator in this module employs automatic neighbouring-channel as-
signment. This means that when the output channel or the output frequency for
channel strip "A" is set, the output channel or the output frequency of channel
strip "B" will always be 8 MHz above the output channel or the output fre-
quency of channel strip "A".
If SelecPlex®will be used, the normal channel separation of 8 MHz can be
reduced up to 2 MHz via the frequency setting for channel strip "B".
3 installation
– 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!
 • Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly
instructions for the STC 160.

3.1 retrofitting aCa module
The COFDM-QAM module is equipped with a common interface for CA mod-
ules 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.
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be used to
ensure that it is suitable for the reception of several channels.
– The module‘s hardware and software have been thoroughly prepared and
tested.
– Any changes made by program vendors 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 1into the CA module 2so that the chip 3 on the
smart card faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module.
 • 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 Cofdm-Qam module
– Check that the plug contacts of the CA module are tightly seated in the
terminal strip on the common interface of the COFDM-QAM module and
make sure there is reliable contact.
– When installing a module, make sure that it is inserted in one of the long,
numbered grooves in front of the contact strip on the board at the rear wall
of the housing.
– The shorter, non-numbered grooves without a contact strip on the board at
the rear wall of the housing, are for add-on modules only.
 • Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly
instructions for the STC 160.
 • Openthelockingdevice1in the direction of the arrow.

QAM module (fig. 4) to the preinstalled F terminals in the rear wall of
the head-end station via the cable inlets Fusing HF cables made on-site
(length approx. 80 cm).
To connect the second tuner the loop-through-output E of the other tuner
can be used, if necessary.

5.2 notes on level set ting
– In order to prevent interference within the head-end station and the cable
system, the output level of the COFDM-QAM module must be lowered by
10 dB compared to the system level at 64 QAM, and by 4 dB compared to
the system level at 256 QAM.
– Check the output level of the output collector according to the assembly
instructions of the head-end station STC 160 and if necessary set it to the
demand of the cable system.

Channel / freQuenCy setting
In this menu, you can choose whether you require the channel or frequency
setting for the adjustment of the HF output. The channel setting covers the
range of channels S21 … C69, the frequency setting covers the range from
42.0 MHz to 860.0 MHz.

OUTPUT
—> The QAM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of 8
MHz. This means that you can only use the channel centre frequen-
cy of the existing channel raster in the range of channels S21 …
C69 (frequency raster 8 MHz). The CCIR channel raster is 7 MHz
in the range of the lower frequency bands (channels C2 … S20).
Therefore the frequency setting is used here. If one uses the existing
channel raster of 7 MHz in these channel ranges, this will result in
interference (overlapping) with the 8 MHz QAM signal packages,
thus causing transmission problems.
—> For programming in these channel ranges and in the frequency
ranges below them, we recommend starting with channel S21 /
306 MHz going back in steps of 8 MHz (s. table on page 35), or
reducing the bandwidth of the QAM output signal by removing sta-
tions.
—> Using "SelecPlex®" only the frequency setting can be used.

(42.0 … 860.0 MHz) resp the output channel (S21 … C69) of the channel
strip. Additionally the modulator of the channel strip can be switched off or on.

nel assignment. This means that the output channel/frequency of
channel strip "B" will always be 1 channel/8 MHz above the output
channel/frequency of channel strip "A".
