according to the MPEG-2 standard (ISO/IEC 13818-2). Compressed video rates
are supported from 1 to 1 5Mbps.
The video encoder features a Tiernan proprietary, high-quality horizontal
resampling filter for intermediate horizontal resolutions.
Audio Two stereo or four mono audio channels are compressed using MPEG
audio encoding standards.
The TE3000 supports compressed audio output rates of 64 to 384kbps and four
different audio channel compression methods.
Auxiliary Data Two channels of synchronous data up to 4.096 Mbps each
(RS-422 levels) or asynchronous data up to 38.4 kbps each (RS-232 or RS-422
levels) are supported by the TE3000.
Modulator The TE3000 has a built-inDVB®-compatible QPSK modulator
with a 70 MHz IF carrier capable of supporting up to 20 MSym/sec.
Modulator Control Buttons The TE3000 provides dedicated modulator
control buttons on the front panel. These are designed to bring carriers up onto

Transport Stream Output The TE3000 supports both
single-channel-per-carrier (SCPC) and multiple-channels-per-carrier (MCPC)
configurations and can operate in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
transmission applications.
TheTE3000 acceptsallcommonly usedvideo andaudioinput formatsand outputs
an MPEG-2 DVB compliant transport stream in addition to a DVB-compliant,
QPSK-modulated 70 MHz IF carrier.
If an external transport stream is provided from another encoder, the TE3000 will
multiplex the two transport streams to form a combined transport stream (MCPC).
This daisy chaining of encoders and multiplexing of transport streams may
continue until the units reach the 70 Mbps limit or the modulator symbol rate
limit.
Within the data rate limitations of the channel, the TE3000 can be reconfigured for
different video resolutions, video optimization, and audio compressed bit rates to

Installing the TE3000
This chapter provides step-by-step procedures for installing and cabling the
TE3000.
Do not remove the TE3000 top cover! The TE3000 is powered by an exposed,
switching AC power supply which presents an electric shock hazard when the top
cover is removed. Personal injury or damage to the equipment can occur when the
top cover is removed. None of the procedures in this manual require the removal
of the TE3000 top cover.
Before beginning your installation, read the Safety Precautions as they contain
important safety information and other instructions required to install the TE3000.
Placement The TE3000 can be installed on a table top or in a rack. Use the following
guidelines to determine the appropriate installation for your needs:
!If the equipment must be moved frequently, install the TE3000 on a table top
or other flat surface.
!If the equipment is going to be installed permanently, install the TE3000 in a
rack using rack mount brackets.
Whichever installation is used, always position the equipment to allow easy access
to the rear panel and provide adequate ventilation.
To properly install the TE3000, follow the instructions provided in the appendix
on table top and rack mount installation instructions.
Ventilation
The TE3000 must be positioned to receive adequate ventilation at all times. The
cooling fan pulls air in through the side vents, circulates the air, and exhausts it out
the side vents. The minimum air flow clearance required on both sides of the
chassis is three (3) inches.
Powering On The
TE3000 The rear panel AC power supply interface includes a fuse holder, and an IEC 320
power cord receptacle. The On/Off (—/0) power switch is located on the front
panel. The typical TE3000 configuration requires 125 amps.
The TE3000 unit is powered by an auto-sensing, auto-ranging AC switching
power supply. The supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC nominal input voltage levels
cycling at 50 to 60 Hz. A 3.15 amp fuse on the rear panel protects the power
supply from excessive current.
AC Power Cords
The TE3000 shipping kit includes two AC power cords, one for North American
applications, specifically the United States and Canada, and the other for
international applications.

Rear Panel Connections All TE3000 external connections are located on the rear panel, as shown in the
following illustration.
Video Ports The TE3000 provides connections for both analog and digital video.
Analog Video Ports (TVIP6021)
The TE3000 analog video ports, found on the TVIP-6021, are as follows:
!Analog Video In
!Analog Video Out
!Analog GenLock
Analog Video In Analog Video In is a female BNC connector with 75Ω
impedance, accepting a NTSC or PAL composite analog video input that is
1.0Vpp nominal level. The analog composite video input must be compliant with
SMPTE 170M NTC, ITU-R BT.470, andPAL-I/B/D. The connector shell is
connected to signal ground.
Connect the video input cable to the AnalogVideo In connector on the rear panel.
Analog Video Out Analog Video Out is a loop through of the composite
video in signal on a female BNC connector. This connector should be terminated
with a 75Ω load to maintain proper video levels through the system.
Analog GenLock The Analog GenLock is a female BNC connector with 75Ω
impedance. The 27 MHz source clock is derived from one of the following
sources:
!Incoming video
!External analog genlock input, SMPTE RP154 (NTCS), EB UD23, and EBU
D25 (PAL)
The external genlock input permits the user to hot switch the video input during
the vertical blanking interval without losing synchronization. Typically GenLock
is connected to a black burst house sync signal in a video plant.

Digital Video Ports (TVIP 6001)
The TE3000 digital video ports, found on the TVIP-6001, are as follows:
!D1 Video In
!D1 Video Out
!D1 Video GenLock
D1 Video In D1 Video In is a female BNC connector, with 75Ωimpedance.
The port accepts a 525 line or 625 line D1 serial digital video input that is format
compliant with SMPTE-259M. The video input is expected to be 270 Mbps, with
10bit ITU-R Rec. BT.601 sampled video in 4:2:2 (YCbCr) component format.
Connect the digital video input cable to the D1Video In connector on the rear
panel.
D1 Video Out D1 Video Out is a loop through of the digital video in signal on
a female BNC connector. When the TE3000 is powered off, D1 Video Out is a
passive loop through. When the TE3000 is powered on, the D1Video Out is an
active loop through driven by a 75Ωdriver.
D1 Video GenLock The D1 Video GenLock is a female BNC connector with
75Ωimpedance. The port accepts external SMPTE 259M input. When activated,
the D1 Video GenLock is used as the timing reference for the 27 MHz MPEG
system clock of the TE3000.
The external genlock input permits the user to hot switch the video input during
the vertical blanking interval without losing synchronization. Typically GenLock
is connected to a black burst house sync signal in a video plant.
Audio Ports The TE3000 provides the following audio input connections:
!Analog audio on the TVIP-6021
!Digital audio on the TVIP-6001
Analog Audio (TVIP6021)
The TE3000 has two sets of analog audio input ports located on the TVIP-6021:
!Analog Audio A Right and Left
!Analog Audio B Right and Left
The ports can be configured for two stereo or four
independent analog mono channels.
Each port has a female XLR connector with high
impedance (>10k Ω) termination.
The pin assignments for all the analog audio ports are
listed in the following table.

Digital Audio Ports (TVIP6001)
The TE3000 has two digital audio input ports located on the TVIP-6001:
!Audio Input A
!Audio Input B
Each port has a female XLR connector with 110Ω. nominal termination. The ports
accept AES/EBU serial digital input that is compliant with ANSIAES3-1992
(ANSI S4.40-1992) recommendations. The ports are typically configured for two
stereo channels.
Aux Data A and B Ports Aux Data A and Aux Data B ports are located on the TMAC-6000. These ports
are female DB-9 connectors. Each channel can be independently configured as
synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous Configuration
In synchronous configuration, the ports accept RS-422 input at 1 kbps to 4 Mbps.
The auxiliary Data A and Data B synchronous port pin assignments are listed in
the following table.
Configuring the DTE and TE3000 Clock Interfaces
After you have cabled the data termination equipment (DTE) to the TE3000, you
must determine the most effective TE3000 and DTE clock source arrangements.
There are three different ways to configure the clock interface for the TE3000 and
the DTE:
!Clock Interface Configuration 1 isthe most reliable clock source arrangement.
This configuration requires the DTE to provide a clock (TT) synchronous
with the data (SD) to the TE3000.
!Clock Interface Configuration 2 is the second most reliable clock source
arrangement. This configuration is used when the DTE cannot turn around the
ST, but has an internal clock source that can be provided as TT to the TE3000.
!Clock Interface Configuration 3 is the least reliable clock source arrangement
—it should only be used if the first two clock configurations cannot be used.
In this configuration the TE3000 is configured to use ST to latch the data.

10 Installing the TE3000
Clock Interface Configuration 1 The most reliable auxiliary data channel
clock source configuration requires the DTE to provide a clock (TT) synchronous
with the data (SD) to the TE3000. This scenario allows the TE3000 to latch the
data using a clock that has traveled the same path as the data, which ensures that
both the clock and the data are received in phase at the TE3000.
The following block diagram shows the clock configuration for a DTE configured
to turn around the ST clock source, and a TE3000 auxiliary data channel
configured for an external clock source.
Notice in the illustration that the switch for the TE3000 auxiliary data channel
clock source is configured for external even though the TE3000 is providing ST to
the DTE.
In this configuration, the TE3000 provides clock (ST) to the DTE. The switch for
the DTE clock source is configured to accept the external clock (ST) provided by
the TE3000. The DTE uses the ST to time the data, sends the data to the TE3000
on SD, and returns the ST to the TE3000 on TT. The TE3000 uses TT to latch the
data.
The TE3000 auxiliary data channel must be configured for an external clock
source to accept TT from the DTE.
Clock Interface Configuration 2 If the DTE cannot turn around the ST, but
has an internal clock source that can be provided as TT to the TE3000, use this
option to configure the auxiliary data channel.
The following block diagram shows the clock configuration for a DTE providing
an internal clock source as TT to the TE3000.
In this configuration, the DTE clock is set to internal and the TE3000 auxiliary
data channel clock source is set to external. The DTE uses its internal clock source
to time the data, sends the data to the TE3000 on SD, and sends its internal clock
to the TE3000 as TT. The TE3000 uses TT to latch the data. The TE3000 auxiliary
data channel must be configured for an external clock source.
