  • Page 5: Description

    Note: The V 532 is only to be used in the V16 base unit! The V16 base unit may only be installed with a maximum of 6 V 532 units! Please observe the following: Exchange or replacement of the modules may only be undertaken by IHK tested and authorised technical personnel (Certified specialist).
  • Page 6: Preferred Board Types

    "Preferred board types“. The board must be activated with a tick, so that it is vis- ible in the selection in the planning screen of the basic unit. After selecting the basic unit the V 532 board appears in the planning screen of the basic unit on the plug-in slot that was used.
  • Page 7: Password Protection For Mtp Function

    Password protection for MTP function In order to prevent unauthorised operation of the V 532, the board can be pro- vided with password protection. Password entry is accessed via "Options“ R "Password protection for MTP function“ After activation of password protection the user is requested to enter the pass- word.
  • Page 8: Planning Screen Of The Basic Unit

    Planning screen of the basic unit After selecting the basic unit the V 532 is displayed on the planning screen of the basic unit. Under "HF Parameter A" and "HF Parameter B" on the planning screen of the basic unit, the output channels of the V 532 board are selected, that is, the chan- nels in which the QAM channels assembled from the DVB-S(2) / ASI Bouquet are to be fed into the cable.

    ASI ports. For exchanging information the KMX connectors located on the V 532 are used. If the flag is not set, then the board functions as a "Four into four" multiplexer, i.e. 2 x DVB-S2 inputs plus 2 x ASI inputs into 2 QAM output channels plus 2 ASI output streams.

    5.3 "Three into three" or "Four into two“ multiplexer In the "1 ASI-input / 1 ASI-output“ mode the V 532 board functions as a "Three into three" multiplexer, i.e. 2 x DVB-S2 inputs plus 1 x ASI input into 2 QAM out- put channels plus one ASI output stream: In the "2 ASI-inputs / no ASI-output"...
  • Page 11: Bypass Function

    5.4 Bypass function To allow flexible configuration of the inputs and outputs the V 532 is provided with a so-called bypass function. With this function the input signals can be looped through to other components for further use. If "Input A“ is chosen as the bypass for "Output C“ as in the above example, then the DVB-S2 signal on input A is fed to output C as an ASI signal.

  • Page 14: Output Parameters / Level Adjustment

    Depending on the configuration of SDT other / EIT other processing (cf. Chapter 5.2 / 5.3) the display of the output parameters may differ from the above example. In "Four into two" mode, the ASI-Outputs, for example, are no longer shown in the display: Operating instructions V 532...
  • Page 15: Level Adjustment

    The TS format and the packet length of the ASI output signals can be configured as required. In TS format the choice is between "Continuous" or "Packet burst", and the packet length is either 188 bytes or 204 bytes. Operating instructions V 532...

  • Page 23: Global Sdt Other / Eit Other Processing

    If during hardware configuration (cf. Chap. 5.2 & 5.3) two ports are defined for exchanging the SDT other - / EIT other - data, it is possible that multiple V 532 TS-Routers will exchange this data between one another. A prerequisite for this exchange is the appropriate wiring of the modules in accordance with the hard- ware configuration.
