ALARM LED. There is a 25-way D-type connector on the Alarm Relay Card (TT1260/HDC/ALRM) with six relays for failure monitoring for NCP over-air. The operator can define (using the Alarm Menu pages) which alarm conditions drive the relays. This is described in Chapter 5, Alarms and Annex C, Menus.
The Satellite Receiver 1.3.1 Typical Satellite System The TT1260 Satellite Receiver is a component of the MPEG-2/DVB compliant range of TANDBERG Television equipment. It is designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video, audio and data services over satellite.
Decoder circuit. The received channel may contain multiple services, therefore the Receiver’s demultiplexer is configured to select a single video service and other audio/data components and present them at the output. Reference Guide: TT1260 Contribution Receiver Page 1-9 ST.RE.E10100.1...
Over-air Software Download (TANDBERG Director Systems) The TT1260 Satellite Receiver is shipped with the appropriate software installed, but it is designed to allow replacement of this code by new versions of software transmitted over-air. The new code is downloaded as a background task in the same transport stream as used for the normal transmission of services.
1.4.1 Typical Decoder System The Decoder is a component of TANDBERG Television’s range of equipment. It is designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video and audio services. It can be used as a transport stream monitor or to decode signals received over a telecommunications network.

Lightning Protection WARNING… IF THE TT1260 DECODER HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A LIGHTNING STRIKE OR POWER SURGE WHICH HAS STOPPED IT WORKING, DISCONNECT THE POWER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT REAPPLY POWER UNTIL IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR SAFETY. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT TANDBERG TELEVISION CUSTOMER SERVICES.
Mechanical Inspection WARNING… REMOVING THE COVERS OF THIS EQUIPMENT MAY INVAL DATE ANY WARRANTIES, CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD OR/AND AFFECT THE EMC PERFORMANCE. CHECK WITH TANDBERG TELEVISION CUSTOMER SERVICES. Inspect the equipment for damage-in-transit. If in doubt, please contact TANDBERG Television Customer Services (see Preliminary Pages).
2.3.1 Fixing The TT1260 is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing brackets suitable for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be secured using the fixing brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to reduce the weight on the brackets.
AC Supply Operating Voltage and Fusing - Safety Information The TT1260 operates from a wide-ranging mains power supply (100-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac 50/60 Hz nominal) and is designed for use in ambient air temperature in the range 0°C to +50°C. There are no links etc.

Technical Earth terminal and a suitable point on the rack 2. Eliminate the migration of stray charges when connecting between equipment. The Technical Earth provides a suitable connection between the TT1260 and the installation to give a low impedance path at normal operating frequencies.
Installing the Equipment Location of the Technical Earth Figure 2.3: Location of the Technical Earth Signal Connections 2.8.1 General CAUTION... It is strongly recommended that the terminal marked at the rear panel of the equipment is connected to a site Technical Earth before any external connections are made and the equipment is powered. This limits the migration of stray charges.

There is no requirement for specific selection behaviour where a service contains two or more audio components of the same coding type and language. The TT1260 is not required to support dynamic changes in the audio coding type once the initial selection has been made. Provision is made in the User Interface and remote interfaces for user override of default audio selection by language and audio coding type, or by PID.
B.2.3 Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio The TT1260 is able to decode and output the primary stereo pair of a Dolby Digital AC-3 encoded audio stream. When there is data encoded on the audio surround channels, the Decoder applies downmixing, so that either a surround encoded stereo pair (LtRt downmix) or a conventional stereo pair (LoRo downmix) is available at the output.
Technical Specification B.3.2 Analogue Audio The TT1260 supports level control of the audio outputs. Independent control of each output of each stereo pair is provided via the User Interface and remote interfaces. Audio output connector type: 2 x 9 way female D-type Output level: +18 dBm nominal clipping level.
Audio output: balanced 2 – 7 volts. Internal Decoder The TT1260 contains an internal Decoder. A packet demultiplexer selects audio, video and ancillary services from the stream received from the digital demodulator. A service filter reduces the incoming data rate (max 160 Mbit/s) to that suitable for demuxing/decryption.
