2.4 desCriPtion
The cassette converts services (programmes) modulated in DVB-S-/DVB-S2
standard into one outgoing COFDM modulated signal according to DIN EN
300744 for feeding into a cable network . The cassette has two SAT inputs and
one HF output. It is equipped with two channel strips (" A " and " B ")
TPS
Tuner A
Tuner B
CA Modul
Modulator HF Output
The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station display with "Bx …A"
and "Bx …B". Using one adequate CA module scrambled stations of two trans-
ponders can be descrambled . 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 (only when stations are selected). Additionally the quality of the
transportstreamreceivedisdisplayed("CN…").TheintegratedTPSmodule
(Transport Stream Processing) processes the data of the transport streams.
The COFDM modulated HF output signals are sent through the HF output of the
cassette to the output collector. The common output level of the channel strips
can be set at the output collector.
Software update for the operating software of the cassette is possible via satellite.

softwareforthecontrolunit,thesoftware"BE-Flash"andthecurrentassembly
instructions on the website "www. triax.com ".
The cassette is intended for use in CSE 3300 head-end systems.

alsocalledtransportstreams,containseveralstationsinalltheircomponents

station seleCtion
 Individual stations can be selected. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently,theoutputsymbolrate.Additionallystationsofthedifferenttransport
streams can be assembled to a new transport stream.
Changing the transPort strea m and orgnet-id
The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of two transponders are
combined into one 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.

- 8 - CCS-2 2001
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 boxes connected to the
cable network for the automatic search feature.

3.1 installing the Casset te
– 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.
 • Removethefasteningscrews1of an unoccupied slot from the bracket of
the head-end station.
 • Insertthecassetteinthisslotandpushitintothehousing.
 • Alignthecassetteandapplyslightpressuretoconnectittotheconnections

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.
CLASS
KLASSE
The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for antenna must meet the
requirements for "Class A".
 • Inserttherequirednumberofcableterminalsintheopeningsprovidedin
the head-end station or in the 19 " cabinet.
Tighten the nuts of the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washers put under
have penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the
housing / 19" cabinet and cable terminals.
