Changing service information The transport stream contains data in the form of tables that the receivers evalu- ate and require for convenient use. The TP module can change the "Network Information Table" (NIT). The "NIT" contains data that is required by the set-top box for the automatic search feature.
• Use an RS-232 cable to connect the PC / laptop to the RS-232 interface of the cassette and update its operating software with the "BE-Flash" software. You can find the current operating software of the cassettes on the website "www.gss.de".

Installation Installing the cassette Pull the mains plug of the head end station out of the mains socket before inserting or replacing any cassettes. • Remove the fastening screws of 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 of the board and the HF bus bar.
Connecting the cassette To comply with the current EMC regulations, it is necessary to connect the lines leading in and out of the head end station (e.g. cinch, HF) using cable termi- nals. When mounting the cassette in a head end station which is installed in a 19" cabinet, make sure that the connections leading in and out (e.g.
The control panel at a glance Menu items Program the cassette using the buttons on the control unit of the head-end sta- tion. The two-line display of the control unit then shows the menus. The parameters and functions to be set are underlined. Use the key to select the following main menu items: –...
Programming The following examples show how the PEDQ 4005 QMX cassette is programmed; the output channels can be set from S21 to S41. The other cassettes that are listed are set in the same way. Preparation Notes: – In the "LEVEL" menu item, the cassette generates an equally powerful HF carrier on the video carrier frequency of the channel. In this way, the cas- sette's level can also be set using an analogue TV test receiver that is set to the video carrier frequency of the channel.

Bx 1 OUTPUT: 112.00 MHz The QAM signal is normally transmitted with a bandwidth of 8 MHz. That means that you can only use the mean channel frequency of the existing chan- nel raster in the range of channels S21 …...
… starting with the upper output frequency of the cassette specified in the technical data, or … to go up in steps of 8 MHz starting with the lower output frequency of the cassette specified in the technical data. • With PEDQ 3005 QMX, use to place the cursor under the digit of the frequency indication to be set and use to set the output fre- quency.
Adapting the output level This setting is not essential for these cassettes. Under this menu item, the "control" setting is used to set a digital carrier to the analogue video carrier frequency of the output channel. This makes it possible to measure the absolute output level of these cassettes with an analogue test receiver.
• Use to make a selection between the automatic ("auto") and manual ("man") assignment of the TS/ORGNET identification. • With the "man" setting (manual), use to position the cursor under the part of the identification number (ID) to be set and use to enter the desired ID.
Naming channel strips You can use this menu to give the channel strips suitable 16-digit names. To do this, you may use numbers, capitals, small letters and special characters. Bx 4A NAME: PROGRAM A Bx 4B NAME: PROGRAM B Bx 4C NAME: PROGRAM C Bx 4D NAME: PROGRAM D • Use to position the cursor under the place to be set and use to activate the desired character.
Setting the station filter – If no channel-related input signal is found, "FILTER: no Service" appears in the display. In this case, check the configuration of the system. – Every input signal that is added via channel strip "A", "B", "C" or "D" in- creases the output symbol rate. If you add too many complex signals to the new data stream, the symbol rate rises to above 100%. This can result in interference to the transmission of the video and audio signals.

Setting stuffing Bx 4 STUFFING: SR=6900 (2853) Number 1 Number 2 SR=6900 (= "number 1"): Active output symbol rate (2853) (= "number 2"): The current, measured output symbol rate. If the station filters are activated, this value will be less than the value of "number 1". The value will fluctuate, as the data rate depends on the supplied signals. • Use to position the cursor under the digit to be set for "number 1", then use to set the symbol rate.
Network Information Table (NIT) Box 4 NIT: => Make • To switch NIT on/off ("on"/"off"): press • Press to activate "Make". —> All QAM cassettes must be set and ready for reception! —> The NITs of all QAM cassettes are switched on. —> The cassette gets all the information it needs (output frequencies, output symbol rates etc.) to generate the cable NIT from all the QAM cassettes.
Saving settings • Press —> The "new" settings are saved. —> Return to "Selecting the cassette" (page 16). —> If the NIT function of the TP module is activated, its status is shown in the second line of the display: "NIT" – cable NIT is switched on Note: Pressing takes you back to "Setting the output channel" (page 16) without saving your settings.
