1 Introduction
This WEB application provides access to the “Digital to TV” headend (short
DTTV) from a computer, via Ethernet. This way you can configure and control remotely
all the modules that make up the headend.
This web application to control DTTV, should be installed on a Web server on the
PC client. Once it is installed, the headend can be set using a compatible web browser.
You must install the JAVA software.
The remote control allows you to work on the headend from a computer in a more
comfortable way, whether to check the status of signal output, to change the selected
services or for general maintenance. Although some of the parameters are configurable
only from the headend itself, as the IP address or the password.
You can download the latest version of the program from PROMAX website.

2.2 Installation
The DTTV Control software installation is supplied on a memory drive (flash drive
or CD-ROM) or can be downloaded from the page "Firmware and Software" from the
"Downloads" area at the PROMAX web page (www.promaxelectronics.com).
Locate the file (DttvControl-va.b.ccc.exe) and proceed to the installation by
following next steps:
1. Run the file by double clicking on it.
2. Follow the installation wizard that will guide you during the process.
Figure 1.-
3. During installation the program checks if the JAVA software is installed and
the version available. If the configuration is correct you should press any key
to continue the process. In case the configuration is not correct, then the
program installed or updates automatically the JAVA software on your
computer (for the case of Windows Vista 32-bits and 64-bits, the JRE7 is not

The following sections describe in detail each one of the screens.
At the top right of the menu bar there is the status field. This field reports on what
the program is doing at each time.
The possible status are the following ones:
Refreshing fields Takes place when the program is updating the screen with
data from the headend.
Reading fields Takes place when accessing for the first time to a module and
its data is shown on screen.
Writing fields Takes place when the configuration of a module changes and
the new data is sent to the volatile memory of the headend.
Undoing fields Takes place when undoing actions done previously.
Storing
Configuration When it is stored on the non-volatile memory of the headend.
Sometimes it can appear on the menu a symbol of a red floppy-disk (see Fig. 5.-).
This signal indicates that some information has been sent to the head-end and it is in
the volatile memory of the head-end, so if you turn it off, that information sent will be
lost. In addition to this symbol, the program will notify by a message on screen, if you
exit the program without saving the information on the head-end.
ATTENTION: When the program is reading or undoing fields, buttons do not
respond.
In order to edit a value you have to click in a textbox or to choose from the
available options by displaying the menu. The background colour of the textbox
indicates the update status of data, according to the following:
White: The data shown on screen matches de data in the headend.
Orange: The data has been validated and accepted by the program
but it has not been sent to the headend and therefore it does
not match with the headend data.
Gray: The data is only to read and cannot be edited.
Red: The data is in conflict with other data. Only for the View
Options.

3.3 Equipment VIEW
This screen shows a graphical representation of the headend configuration.
Figure 6.-
At the top, the text box shows the Kbps bitrate at the output.
Below this it appears a percentage referred to the busy bandwidth of the output
channel. This percentage it is accompanied by a colour that indicates the state of the
signal. Green when the signal is correct, yellow when it is possible that a peak of the
input signal saturates the channel or red if the signal is too big or small.
A red point above a module indicates that exists an error in the process, and
therefore some of the LEDs of warning at the module are ON.
The signal status is at the top of the module (terrestrial or satellite). The icons that
identify each state are:
Locked.
Not locked.
Unknown state.
Process failure.
In the case of a IP module:
: Ethernet network disconnected.
WEB CONTROL MANUAL
July 2016 Page 11
Acquiring services.
The CAM card state is displayed above the module. The icons that identify each
state are:
: Card connected and working.
: Card inserted but not working properly.
No icon: Card not detected.
For satellite receiving modules:
: LNB shortcut.
In the central part of the screen is displayed the configuration of the headend.
Each slot is occupied by a module. An Slot is defined as a physical hole where you can
place a module. A module can be single or double type. A double module has two
independent modules, module 1 and module 2. Both modules are identical and have
the same features although they are set independently. Double modules are
represented on screen as a module divided by a vertical line at the top. The left part
shows the state of the module 1 and the right part the state of the module 2.
When a module is not recognised or there is a hole between two modules, it is
represented by a module marked with a red cross as show in the figure
.
If you place the cursor on a module and wait for a while, then it appears a tag with
the firmware version of the module.
If it appears a module with orange background colour it means that module data
at the program do not match with module data at the headend.
If you can not complete the operation to load or save the configuration
(Figure 7.-), you should do it again and if the problem persists, you should check the
head-end configuration and the content of the xml file (if the problem is when loading)
or permissions (if the problem is when saving).
Figura 7.-
WEB CONTROL MANUAL
Page 12 July 2016
When there is an internal failure in the module, it appears a message like the
following figure. To see failure details click on the word "Details".
Figure 8.-
You can access the configuration of the module by clicking on it. Once inside you
can change its parameters (see "Module Details"). If you have any doubt about a
parameter, consult the specific manual of the module.
At the bottom of the headend graphical representation appears the links between
module, receivers and transmitters.
At the bottom there are 4 buttons for the following functions:
Undo All: It undoes all the changes not send to the headend.
Update PC: It consults the fields data from the headend and refreshes them
on screen. If there is some change without accepting, the data
disappears when superposing data from the headend.
Reconfigure
equipment: It sends the changes to the volatile memory of the headend. After
the reconfiguration, all modules should be with a white
background. If any module has an orange background, it means
that some errors have occurred, usually happens when the
module unlocks.
Store equipment
configuration: It saves the data in the non-volatile memory of the headend.
3.3.1 Module Detail
To access the details of a module that appears in the equipment view just click on
it. Next there is a detailed window of the module that is divided into two areas: a header
and field editing area.
WEB CONTROL MANUAL
July 2016 Page 13
Figure 9.- Example of a module detail for DT-324.
The header shows the module identification name (DT-324). Then a drop-down
menu allows you to select the module (if double, you have two modules, if simple only
one). Next to it, there are two buttons, which are common to all modules. These are:
- Update PC:
It updates the fields that the user has NOT modified with the headend
value.
- Reconfigure module:
It saves the changes on the volatile memory of the headend.
Next to these two buttons are others depending on the module you are. These
buttons provide access to editable fields related to the parameters of the module. These
are:
Transmission fields: For transmodulators modules/slots and audio/video
encoders.
Reception fields: For transmodulators modules/slots and modules / slots with
services balancing functionalities connected to two
modulators.
