Annex C, Menus.
1.2.4 Conditional Access and Scrambling
The transport stream received by the IRD may be encrypted. The CA system is used to
decrypt the required components of the transport stream so that they can be decoded.
The following Conditional Access and Scrambling options are available for the TT1260 range
of Satellite Receivers and Decoders:
• No Conditional Access
• Basic Interoperable Scrambling System, BISS Mode 1 and Mode E only.
• TANDBERG DirectorV5
• Remote Authorisation System (RAS) 1 and 2
• Signal Protection
• DVB Common Interface
• Provider Lock
BISS (as specified in EBU Tech 3292 May 2002) is standard on all Receivers/Decoders.
The different CA options can be combined, for instance:
• TANDBERG Director, RAS and BISS (however, streams with mixed CA are not
supported)
However, it is not possible to have both DVB Common Interface and TANDBERG Director on
the same unit.
When the CA system uses a smart card or Common Interface Module, access by the user is
via the back panel of the IRD.

1.3 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.
1.3.2 Input Connections
The Satellite Receiver interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and accepts an
intermediate frequency (IF) input in the band 950 - 2150 MHz (L-band) for operation in the
specified symbol-rate range (see Annex B, Technical Specification). The unit can provide DC
power and polarisation switching to the LNB.
Figure 1.2: Typical Satellite Compression System
1.3.3 What the Satellite Receiver Does
The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and polarisation. The
input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to provide an L-band input to the
Receiver. The front-end tuning is microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesised local
oscillator. A software tuning and acquisition algorithm resolves translation errors (mainly due
to the LNB).
The signal is then passed to a demodulator that recovers the signal using soft-decision
decoding. The resulting stream is Reed-Solomon decoded and descrambled to provide inputs
to the 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.

1.3.4 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.
Figure 1.4 shows the system required for this function. The existing software continues to
function during the download process. Once all the new code has been received, installed and
validated, it is loaded into the active memory and becomes the operating software for the
Receiver.

1.4 The Telco Receiver/Decoder
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.
Figure 1.5: Typical Compression System
1.4.2 Input Connections
The Decoder has the following inputs:
Two ASI copper interfaces for operation up to 160 Mbit/s for 188 byte packets and 160 Mbit/s
for 204 byte packets.
The Telco receiver has a BNC connector for direct reception of TTV G.703 Telco packages
over a PDH network.
NOTE…
For ATM AAL-1 E3 and ATM AAL-1 DS3 systems, two BNCs may be provided for full duplex
operation.
1.4.3 What the Decoder Does
The ASI interfaces are used to present the transport stream in the format required by the
internal Decoder circuitry. At this point, the operation of the unit is the same as the Satellite
Receiver.

Introduction
Page 1-12 Reference Guide: TT1260 Contribution Receiver
ST.RE.E10100.3
The Decoder can be used to receive an input signal from a Public Telecom Network via a
Network Adapter Unit (NAU). No error correction is supported at the input of the unit so a level
of Quality of Service should be negotiated with the Telecom Network Provider.
The Decoder is configured to select a single video service and other audio/data components
from the multiple services on the incoming transport stream and present them at the output.
Figure 1.6: Role of the Decoder
1.5 TT1260 Control Modes
1.5.1 Introduction
The TT1260 is designed for unattended operation. Once set up, the unit requires no further
attention except to ensure the fan is working. There are up to four control modes associated
with the Receiver (dependent upon options fitted). The unit remains in the chosen control
mode until another mode is requested.
NOTE…
Local (Front Panel) Control is the factory default if TANDBERG Director is not installed.
1.5.2 Front Panel (Local) Modes
When operating the IRD from the Front Panel, there are two main operating modes: Navigate
and Edit. See Section 3.3, Front Panel Operating Modes.
