The cassette has two digital RF inputs and one RF output. Two common interfaces are present to descramble scrambled channels. lo C k d i ag r a m CA-Modul CA module Modulator IN "A" Tuner "A" "A"... -
Page 7: Software Query
Customize the station filters accordingly! Channel as well as frequency setting is possible for modulators. The QAM modulated RF output signals are sent through the RF output of the cassette to the output collector. The common output level of the channel strips can be set at the output collector. The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end station. When the head-end station is switched on, the two-line LC display shows the software version of the control unit. To operate this cassette the software ver- sion of the control unit must be "V 45" or higher. You can find the current op- erating software for the control unit and the cassette, 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. When using these cassettes in Stations with more than eight slots, a maximum of 8 cassettes may be operated, to prevent overloading the power supply and overheating the head-end station. All other slots must remain free! 2.5 s o f t wa r e q u e ry 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... - Page 8 2.6 h tPs t h e m o d u l e wo r ks After decoding the input signals, the demodulated data streams can be ac- cessed via the integrated TPS module. These data streams, also called trans- port streams, contain several stations in all their components (video, audio, data and service information), which can be changed using the TPS module. tat i o n f i lt e r Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-...

s s e m b l y 3.1 i n s ta l l i n g t h e C a s s e t t e – 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. -
Page 10: Emc Regulations
3.2 emC r e g u l at i o n s 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. The attenuation of shielding of the connection lines for ASI and antenna must meet the requirements for "Class A". CLASS • Insert the required number of cable terminals in the openings provided in the head-end station or in the 19" cabinet. Tighten the nuts on the cable terminals until the teeth on the lock washer have penetrated the exterior coating and a good connection is made between the hous- ing and cable terminals. - 10 - CC2CT 800 C... - Page 11 Input "A" Status LED of channel strip "A" no function no function Status LED of channel strip "B" Input "B" The operating software of the cassette can be updated via the 9-pin D-SUB socket "RS 232" using a PC or notebook and the software "BE-Flash". You can find the current operating software on the website "www.triax.com". 3.4 C o n n e C t i n g t h e C a s s e t t e • Connect "input A" and "input B" to corresponding signal sources. —> Avoid wide differences in level at the inputs! • Connect the head-end station to the mains power supply.
- Page 12 3.5 r Ca e t r o f i t t i n g m o d u l e The cassette is equipped with two common interfaces. This allows you to con- nect two CA modules for 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 con- tains all the information for authorisation, descrambling and subscription. Caution – Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA modules to be used to ensure that they are suitable for descrambling several channels. – The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly prepared and tested. – Any changes made by programme provider to the structures in the pro- gramme data might impair or even prevent this function.
