DVB-S/S2 & DVB-T/T2/C to DVB-T transmodulators

1. Product description

DVB-S/S2 (tdx410C), DVB-T/T2/C (ttx410C) to DVB-T transmodulators (in the text - modules) designed for digital
transmodulation with Transport Stream Processing (of TV or Radio programmes) issued from FTA (Free to air) or encrypted
digital reception; in case of encrypted signal, a CAM (Conditional access module) containing the operator's smart card must
fitted in the slot. The streams can be viewed via Web interface using video player plug-in (VLC).
Modules are intended for indoor use only.
2. Characteristics
Input: One DVB transport stream (MPTS - Multiprogram Transport Stream).
Output: MPTS stream with up to 5 PCR restamped services (TV or Radio programs) or Transparent mode of MPTS
stream.
• Web interface for configuration and setting.
• SNMP (simple network management protocol) agent for monitoring and alarms.
• PID filtering (up to 31 PID's).
• PSI/SI (Program-specific information) parsing.
• PAT(Program association table), NIT (Network information table) and SDT (Service description table) table
regeneration.

3. Safety instructions

Installation of the module must be done according IEC60728-11 and national safety standards.
Any repairs must be made by qualified personnel.
Do not expose this module to moisture or splashing water and make sure no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
are placed near or on the unit.
Avoid placing the module next to heat sources such as central heating components or in areas of high humidity.
Keep the module away from naked flames.
If the module has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, bringing it into a warm environment may cause
condensation, so allow it to warm up for no less than 2 hours before plugging into the mains.
Ventilation should not be impeded by covering the module, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains etc.
Mount the module in a vertical position only. If installing in a 19" rack system additional forced air cooling fans may be
required (see table "Technical specifications" - operating temperature range).
Always allow 10 cm of free space from the top, front and bottom of the unit to enable any heat to be dissipated.

  • Page 4 7. Operating 7.1 Initial configuration All modules leave the factory with this control: Ethernet interface IP address: 192.168.1.10. In order to avoid conflicts with other IP addresses, it is necessary to perform an initial configuration in local mode. Subsequently, it will be possible to access the modules via the local area network (LAN), either to re-programme it or to check its operating status.
  • Page 5 The "RF input" table is used to configure parameters corresponding to the input satellite transponder (tdx410C module), terrestrial or cable transponder (ttx410C module). In the "List of services" table the list of services, available in the input transponder is displayed. In the "Input status" table you can see real time status of the input section.
  • Page 6 “Input level” - RF signal level at the module input. Level indication - approximate. The values of the following parameters are displayed only if the module has synchronized with the input signal. “Modulation standard” - detected standard of the input signal. Possible values of the standard: DVB-S, DVB-S2 (tdx410C); DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C (ttx410C).
  • Page 7: Output Status

    Output Status “Output bandwidth” - maximum bitrate with currently selected RF output settings. “Output usage” - current usage of output bandwidth in percents. 7.3.3. List of services table The table (Figure 13) shows all of the input transport stream services, including different details (type, name, identifier). Also UDP unicast streaming via the control interface can be started, services for descrambling by CA module can be selected and descrambling status observed.
  • Page 8: Output Settings

    The checkboxes in the "Descramble" column are used to select services for descrambling by CA module. Several services can be selected, if the module supports simultaneous descrambling of several services. The "Descrambling status" icon meanings: - service is descrambled successfully, - service is not descrambled.
  • Page 9 So, if there are more modulators in the network, all channels must be included in this table. If there are more devices manufactured by Terra, which are controlled via Ethernet, all broadcast information can be captured automatically by adding its IP address and pressing „Load“ button. In case if the frequency was added manually already, that record will be updated.
