2 Introduction 2.1 Scope This manual is written for operators and users of the CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway and provides necessary information for installation, operation and day-to-day maintenance of the unit. The manual covers the functionality of the software version 2.2.0 or later, and continues to be relevant to subsequent software versions where the functionality of the equipment has not been changed.
MPEG Transport Streams. The CP560 is a DVB-T2 gateway that uses the advanced capabilities of the cProcessor family to rearrange the transport stream (TS) into the DVB-T2 modulator interface (T2-MI). In addition to the data, this T2-MI interface contains signalling, control and timing information for the DVB-T2 modulators.

Short Product Description 3.2 Software options The CP560 functionality depends on the sofware licences installed. The following table describes the features available as software options. Please refer to Section 8.4.8.3 for more information how to obtain and enable feature upgrades.
D-SUB male connector for soldering to the supply leads is supplied. 4.2 Installation Environment As with any electronic device, the CP560 should be placed where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the selected site should meet the following requirements: The ambient temperature should be between 0 and 50 C (32 and 122 F).
Do not re-apply power until it has been checked for safety. If in doubt contact T-VIPS. 4.3 Equipment installation The CP560 is designed for stationary use in a standard 19" rack. When installing please observe the following points: Route cables safely to avoid them being pinched, crushed or otherwise interfered with.
4.5.1 AC power supply The CP560 has a wide-range power supply accepting the voltage range 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Please refer to Appendix B for a detailed specification of the AC power supply.
Failure to isolate the equipment properly may cause a safety hazard. To connect the unit to the local AC power supply, connect the AC power lead to the CP560 mains input connector(s) and then to the local mains supply.
1. Use an electronics soldering iron or a hot air workstation to attach the supplied female D-SUB power connector to suitable power leads. 2. Connect the power leads to your local power supply. 3. Connect the DC power connector, with attached power leads, to the CP560 power input connector. 4.5.3 Powering up/down...
Figure 5.1 Product block diagram 5.2 TS inputs The CP560 can include up to 10 ASI ports, 8 of them can be used as input ports and 2 as output ports. The number of simultaneous TS inputs that can be enabled is limited by a software licence key.
The CP560 supports MPEG transport streams over IP, the functionality is protected with a separate SW licence. The CP560 has 8 IP inputs, these are modelled to have the same functionality as the ASI input ports, and content received will be available to the DVB-T2 Gateway generating the output. The input streams can be either SPTS or MPTS and streams with or without RTP layer are accepted.

The device exposes extensive status information to the web GUI providing detailed reports and real-time monitoring displays to the device administrator. All the device configuration parameters available on the CP560 can be controlled from the web GUI. 5.7.2 Configuration database The management subsystem processes configuration changes as transactions.
The CP560 contains an internal real-time clock that is used for internal timestamps and the generation of DVB-T2 timestamps for SFN operation. In order to generate precises SFN timestamps, the CP560 needs to be connected to both a NTP timesource (for absolute time in seconds) and 1PPS (for subsecond time).
6.1.2 ASI ports The CP560 can be shipped with one ASI card with 10 ASI connectors as shown in 6.2. Another configuration includes 8 ASI connectors on the back panel as shown in figure 6.1. When the CP560 is used with ASI output, one port is reserved for the single supported TS out- put.
In the eight ports configuration, each ASI input port has two LEDs associated with it. The yellow LED indicates active input and the green LED indicates that sync is detected. CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway User’s Manual Rev. 2.2 (3686) ID: um_t2gateway...
One LED is used for each ASI output port: A green LED is lit whenever the output is enabled. 6.1.5 1 PPS Input The CP560 comes with a 1 PPS input. Activating the port is a software option that enables the device to operate as a MIP inserter in SFN networks.
6.1.9 Ethernet Management Port The CP560 provides one Ethernet port for control and management. Connect the management port to the management network. The LEDs for the management port are used as follows: 6.1.10 Technical Earth...
The USB interface requires a special COM port driver on the PC that shall communicate with the device. This driver is provided on the product CD shipped with the device. The USB interface is intended for initial IP address setup. ID: um_t2gateway CP560 DVB-T2 Gateway User’s Manual Rev. 2.2 (3686)
7.1 Accessing the graphical user interface The default IP address of the CP560 will most probably not be suitable for the network where the unit will operate. Initially therefore, the user should change the IP address of the management interface so that access may be gained from the network.

The actual bitrate for given the PLP based on the requested bitrate. The PLP bitrate will always be greater than or equal to the requested bitrate, because the CP560 will allocate the minimum number of whole FEC blocks to accomodate the requested bitrate. If only using one PLP, the PLP bitrate will be maximized to use the whole capacity and will thus ignore the requested bitrate parameter.

72MBit/s. Refer to section 8.6.3. 10.3 Single PLP at 40MBit/s The most basic way of using the CP560 is to encapsulate one DVB-TS stream into one PLP. By using the VV500 (V&V 500, T2-MI test case) profile, the TS transmission bitrate will be 40.214 MBit/s.

Current suggestion, 500 ms. (150 ms modulator processing time + 250 ms network delay + 100 ms extra buffering) Now connect two or more modulators to the same CP560 ASI or IP output, and have them transmit in a SFN.
10.6 Redundant system with TNS541 TS Seamless Switch Having connected 2 CP560’s to a TNS541, the TNS541 will select the best input. The best input is determined from the alarm status of each input. For example if the TNS541 loses input sync it will switch to the other input.
10.6.1 Signal empty PLPs If however a CP560 loses input sync, the TNS541 will not detect this in any way. The reason for this is that the rate of T2-MI layer is independent of the input bitrate. If a PLP is empty, i.e.

The transmission delay is defined from the CP560 output until the signal is emitted on air. The ETT therefore needs to be large enough to account for the network delay between the CP560 and the T2-modulator and the processing delay required in the modulator.
