    1. Introduction To ensure the correct use and installation of the headend, it is necessary to read the user manuals and the installation manuals of the modules included in their own packages. 1.1 General safety instructions Read all of this user manual carefully before plugging in the unit. Always have these instructions to hand during installation.

  • Page 4: Installation Environment Recommendations

    This headend station is designed for broadcasting DVB-T or DVB-C signals based on open or encrypted DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C signals, and is made up of the following elements: • HTL-STC (Ref. 3860): DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C to DVB-T/C transmodulator • HTL-TRX (Ref. 3861): DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C to DVB-T/C transmodulator, MPEG4 to MPEG2 transcoder...

  • Page 5: Basic Installation

     An HTL-TRX transmodulator/transcoder modules offers the same transmodulation functionalities as an HTL-STC, allowing also to transcode up to four MPEG4 (1080i or 576i) services to MPEG2 576i with a maximun of four audio channels in total (AC3/AC3+ to MPEG1 Layer II).

    4.4 Step 4: Satellite This screen allows to configure the parameters related with the used satellite installation. It only appears when RF Input has been selected as DVB-S/S2 in the step 2. In other case, setup wizard skips this step and goes directly to step 5. When the satellite signal is delivered to the HTL through a multiswitch, select Enable DISEqC: DiSEqC ON, introducing the number of inputs of the multiswitch in Number of polarities (in the example, 4 inputs, i.e., a complete satellite).

    generated for each language. The dissaggregation is done at logical level, i.e., the used bandwidth is the same as the used with a single service conveying all the languages; however the TV is detecting several independent services. Therefore, the final user can select the desired language simply changing the channel.
