2.3 Description

This particular module has a QPSK AV converter which simultaneously converts

four QPSK modulated channels into AV signals using two SAT tuners. It is addition-

ally equipped with a common interface module, which enables the reception of

up to 2 encoded channels through a single data stream when used in conjunction

with a CA module and a smart card from a service provider.

The module

has two SAT inputs and one AV interface, through which the de-

coded video and audio signals are fed to the corresponding modulator mod-

ule. Components (e.g. LNB) which are connected upstream can be powered

through the SAT inputs.

The channel strips “A” “B”, “C” and “D” can be individually programmed. This

means it is possible to select up to 4 channels. The following table shows the

allocation of the selectable number of channels to the tuners:

Tuner “A” Tuner “D”

Number of

channels

22

For example, if three channels from tuner “A” will be used, one channel from

tuner “D” can be used. If two channels from tuner “A” will be used, two chan-

nels from tuner “D” can also be used.

The operating software of the module can be updated (Software “BE-Flash”)

using a PC or notebook via the 9-pin SUB-D socket on the control unit of

the head-end station. You can find the current operating software on the

website “www.gss.tv”.

The prepared input signals are fed to the modulator module via the AV inter-

face. From there, they are fed to the HF output collector of the head-end station,

through which the level of the output signal can be adjusted via the software in

the head-end station.

This module is designed exclusively for use in the STC 160 head-end station.

3 Installation

Caution

Before installing or changing a module, switch off the head-end station or

unplug

the power cable from the mains power socket.

Take precautions to prevent static discharge when working on the device!

• Open the housing of the head-end station according to the instructions in

the STC 160 assembly instructions.

3.1 Retrofitting a CA module

The digital module is equipped with a common interface module (CI). It allows

you to connect a CA module for various encryption systems and service provid-

ers. Encoded channels can only be decoded with a CA module suitable for the

encoding system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all

the information for authorisation, decoding and subscription.

Caution

– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be

used to ensure that it is suitable for the reception of 2 channels.

– The HDC 460 CI AV module‘s hardware and software have been thor-

oughly prepared

and tested.

– Any changes made by program vendors to the structures in the program

data might impair or even prevent this function.

– When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding

operating manual from the respective provider.

- 8 -

• Insert the CA module (with smart card installed) into the guide rails in the

common interface module with the top side of the CA module facing the

board in the digital module.

3.2 Installing the digital module

Caution

– Check that the plug contacts of the CI module are tightly seated in the

terminal strips on the digital module and make sure there is reliable

contact between the CI module and the digital module.

– Always position modules which belong together next to each other. The

digital module must be installed to the left of the modulator module.

– When installing the digital module, make sure that it is inserted in a long

numbered groove in front of a contact strip on the board at the rear wall

of the housing.

The shorter not numbered grooves without a contact strip on the board

at the rear wall of the housing are for add-on modules only.

Note:

Slots 1 (digital module) and 2 (modulator module) are shown in the illustra-

tion. The open slots in between (without a contact strip on the board at the

rear wall of the housing) are intended for add-on modules.

• Insert the digital module in grooves A and B of an open slot (with contact

strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing) next to the associated

modulator module.

• Gently slide the module into the head-end station and ensure that it makes

contact with the contact strip on the board at the rear wall of the housing.
