  • Page 17: Installing The Equipment

    D-SUB male connector for soldering to the supply leads is supplied. 4.2 Installation Environment As with any electronic device, the CP524 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).

  • Page 18: Equipment Installation

    Do not re-apply power until it has been checked for safety. If in doubt contact T-VIPS. 4.3 Equipment installation The CP524 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.

  • Page 19: Power Supply

    4.5.1 AC power supply The CP524 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.

  • Page 23: Functional Description

    5.2 TS inputs The CP524 can be fitted with up to 8 ASI ports. Each of the ASI ports can be used as either input or output port. When only using IP output, all 8 ASI ports can be used as inputs. In ATSC+DVB configuration mode, SMPTE 310M input format is also supported.

  • Page 24: Ts Output

    Ethernet/IP. 5.3 TS output The CP524 can generate up to 4 MPEG output Transport Streams. The outputs can be pro- grammed to be presented as ASI on one or more of the physical BNC I/O connectors as described in chapter 6.1.2.

  • Page 25: Management Sub-System

    5.6.1 Graphical user interface Operators monitor and control the CP524 mainly via the Adobe Flash GUI application served from the device’s WEB server. The GUI application is accessed via a WEB browser that com- municates with the configuration framework through an HTTP/XML based protocol.

  • Page 26: Configuration Database

    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 CP524 can be controlled from the web GUI. 5.6.2 Configuration database The management subsystem processes configuration changes as transactions.

  • Page 27: Time Synchronisation

    WEB interface section. 5.7 Time synchronisation The CP524 contains an internal real-time clock that is used for all internal timestamps. The internal clock is battery backed up in order to continue operating while the unit has no power.

  • Page 28: Pid Router

    The PSI/SI/PSIP TS packets on the input can, in addition to being routed on the highway to the output, be routed to the PSI/SI/PSIP section filter module, which is briefly described in section 5.8.2. Read more about the prioritisation of data in chapter 5.8.4. CP524 TS Adapter User’s Manual Rev. 1.0.38 (3712) ID: um_tsadapter...

  • Page 30: Output Priority Queue

    TS packet output priority queue of the TSP. It indicates that all data is prioritised before being output. The CP524 generates a constant (configurable) output bitrate translating to a fixed number of available packet slots per time unit. Data from different sources are mapped to the priority queue on the output to compete for the available bandwidth according to the configured priority rules.
  • Page 31 MIP insertion, and hence Group A, is not available on the CP524. Groups A, B and E have fixed priority, while the priority of the queues within the C and D group may be freely configured.

    When activated, the builder retrieves information from the different databases and from the PID lists, to create new PID routing. If PSI/SI/PSIP tables are configured for playout, they are generated and posted to the PSI/SI/PSIP playout module for continuous packetisation and repetition.

  • Page 37: Bitrate Saturation Handling

    Functional Description It will be possible to configure at least 3 scenarios with the CP524 product. 1. There are plenty of available bandwidth in the transport stream, and the resulting bandwidth due to repetition rate configuration fits well within the available bandwidth.

  • Page 38: Configurable Back-Log Time

    The red graph illustrates the case when a back-log is configured larger than zero. In this case, the CP524 will actually reduce the transmission interval until the “ideal” line again is reached. This means that the average repetition interval will be fulfilled.

    Figure 5.10 Illustration of back-log principles 5.10 Service fallback 5.10.1 General The CP524 offers a SW module for redundancy on service level. The module monitors the alarm level for two services and selects the best service according to the user specified switching criterias.

    8.6.2.1. 10.3 Raw PID multiplexing The most basic way of using the CP524 is to work strictly on a PID stream level, multiplexing streams by manually mapping a number of PIDs through the device. In this mode you will not depend on the PSI/SI/PSIP signalling on the input signal.

  • Page 206: Simple Local Insertion Of A Progam

    Having the case above, you also need to add signalling of a data component that is signalled on one or more of the national services, to the locally generated channel. This is illustrated in figure 10.1. CP524 TS Adapter User’s Manual Rev. 1.0.38 (3712) ID: um_tsadapter...
