It also contains either a satellite modulator or an OFDM modulator. High quality 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 6 video encoding is ensured by the inclusion of digital noise reduction techniques 7 and many other proprietary algorithms as well as standard MPEG compression techniques. Fully Exhaustive motion estimation is also used. Video can be input to the unit in serial digital component (SDI) format or composite analogue (PAL/NTSC). There is also a logo overlay facility allowing broadcasters to trademark material. The audio functionality supports multiple sampling frequencies, bit-rates and coding modes. Audio can be input in balanced analogue, digital AES/EBU input as a discrete channel or embedded on serial digital video. Various coding standards are supported, including Linear PCM. Additional audio channels can be accommodated by purchasing the option module M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2. Unit functionality can be further extended with option modules (see Chapter 3, Options and Upgrades) DSNG SD Systems (E5714-IF/E5714-LBAND/E5740 Encoders) Overview Up-link equipment (including Up-converter and High Power Amplifier) Down-link equipment (including Low Noise Block and Down-converter) Tx Rx VIDEO (ANALOGUE) VIDEO (DIGITAL) AUDIO SYNC DATA ASYNC DATA Encoder Modulator IF Satellite Receiver VIDEO AUDIO ASYNC DATA SYNC DATA DSNG Encoder Figure 1.4: Typical DSNG Encoder Configuration E5714-IF/E5714-LBAND Encoder The satellite modulator within the E5714-IF Encoder supports QPSK modulation in accordance with EN (DVB-S). It provides a main and monitoring IF Output. The IF frequency can be tuned between 50 MHz and 90 MHz. The E5714-LBAND Encoder also supports high-order modulation and DVB-S2 (EN ). E5740 Encoder The satellite modulator fitted within the E5740 is capable of QPSK modulation in accordance with EN (DVB-S) / EN (DVB-S2), and is also capable of 8PSK and 16QAM modulation in accordance with EN (DVB-DSNG). It is available in two variants. One provides an IF output tuneable in the range 50 MHz to 180 MHz. The other provides an L-band output tuneable in the range 950 MHz to 1750 MHz. 6 4:2:2 is only available when software option M2/ESO2/422 is purchased. 7 Noise reduction is only available when software option M2/ESO2/NR is purchased.

15 Introduction to the Basic Encoder DENG SD Systems (E5750 Encoder) 70 MHz IF E5750 Encoder Radio Tx Radio Rx Rec / Mon Equipment Figure 1.5: Typical SD DENG System Configuration The OFDM modulator fitted in the E5750 takes the Encoder s output transport stream, and uses Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) to spread the data over 1705 carriers (2k mode) or 6817 carriers (8k mode). This means that relatively low data rates can be used on each carrier frequency, and any multipath effects (ghosting) which occur affects only a small amount of data. The carriers are closely spaced so that their sidebands overlap, but due to the orthogonal relationship between carrier frequencies they do not interfere with each other. This makes the system spectrally efficient. Noise, multipath effects, co-channel interference and other impairments can cause some bits to be received in error. Therefore, Forward Error Correction (FEC) consisting of Reed- Solomon (RS) coding followed by convolution coding is used to add extra bits to the transmitted signal. This allows a large number of errors at the receive end to be corrected by convolutional (Viterbi) decoding followed by RS decoding. Five convolutional rates are available: 1 / 2, 2 / 3, 3 / 4, 5 / 6 and 7 / 8. These provide different compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness. The modulation scheme used on each carrier can either be QPSK, 16QAM, or 64QAM. These also provide different compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness, QPSK being the most rugged. Four guard intervals are available 1 / 32, 1 / 16, 1 / 8, and 1 / 4. These are used to reduce the effects of intersymbol interference at the receive end caused by multipath propagation. The output of the modulator is 70 MHz IF for connection to a suitable radio transmitter, such as the TANDBERG CT2636 Out-door Unit. When equipped with the Triax 8 Adaptor board (TANDBERG part nos: and ) the E5750 Encoder provides a Triax output with 70 MHz, +48 Vdc and control signalling on a single Triax cable DSNG HD Systems (E5784/E5788 Encoders) Overview The Encoder is a transportable digital exciter designed specifically for mobile contribution applications. It is compact and lightweight, fully MPEG-2 and DVB/DVB-S2 or ATSC compliant and has high performance for the transmission of studio-quality video material.

The Encoder has two video encoders (HD and SD), two stereo audio encoders (dual standard MPEG-1 (layer 2)/Dolby Digital (AC-3) 9 ), composite video decoder, CA 10, data input and general purpose VBI extraction and encoding circuitry. It also contains a satellite modulator. 8 TANDBERG purchasable hardware option M2/EOM2/TRIAX. 9 Dolby Digital (AC-3) is only available when software option M2/ESO2/AC3 is purchased. 10 CA relates to RAS and BISS.

53 Options and Upgrades 3.6 Option Modules Limitations Limitations on the Number of Option Modules If the Remux option is not fitted then there can be a maximum of three option modules. If the Remux option module is fitted there can be a maximum of two other option modules Limitations on the Use of Option Modules Conditional Access Although both BISS (M2/EDCOM2/BISS) and RAS (M2/ESO2/RAS) may be present in the Encoder, only one may be used at a time. Advanced Audio Option Module (M2/EOM2/ADVAUD) Only one advanced audio card may be fitted. If this card is fitted, the E5720/UPG/HD must also be fitted. The only further allowed option card is M2/EOM2/GPI Dual GigE IP NIC Option Module (M2/EOM2/IPTSDUAL) Only one IP option card may be fitted. If this card is fitted, the M2/EOM2/COFDM or M2/EOM2/ATM* option cards cannot be fitted. E5714 1U SD Encoder If M2/EOM2/MPM is fitted, the only option card allowed in slot 1 is the M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2. Only one IP option card may be fitted. If this card is fitted, the M2/EOM2/COFDM or M2/EOM2/ATM option cards cannot be fitted. 3.7 Bit-rate Limits With Reflex Licence and/or Performance Upgrade A user with a REFLEX licence (M2/ESO2/VBR) but no Performance Upgrade (M2/ESO2/PU) will be able to get lower bit-rates than 1.5 Mbit/s. This only occurs in Seamless modes. However, because the Performance Upgrade has not been bought the picture quality will be reduced (see Table 3.7).

54 Options and Upgrades 3.8 Basic Interoperable Scrambling System - BISS (M2/EDCOM2/BISS) With the appropriate configuration, the Encoder can use the Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS 4 ) to scramble the outgoing transport stream. This system has been developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as an open scrambling system. BISS has three main levels of operation: Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode 3. Mode 0 corresponds to no scrambling. BISS-E is also available in Build version and later. NOTE Only Modes 0 and 1 are available at Build version Modes 2 and 3 are not supported. BISS Mode 1 operation uses a fixed value for the control word to scramble the services in the transport stream from the Encoder. To descramble the transmission, the Decoder needs to have the matching control word value. The BISS Module (M2/EDCOM2/BISS) comprises Assembly S12284 and Card S NOTES 1. This option module is installed as a daughter card to the Base Board, with no external connectors and does not use an option slot 2. The BISS software must also be enabled in the Encoder (see Customer Services). BISS scrambling (when fitted) is enabled and controlled via the Setup/Mux Menu (see Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally, Section ). 3.9 Additional Audio and Linear PCM Option (M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2) Overview The Additional Audio option module supplements the audio encoding functionality of the Encoder. This module supports audio standards MPEG-1 (layer 2), Dolby Digital (AC-3), Linear PCM, Dolby Digital (AC-3) Pass-through, Dolby E Pass-through and DTS Passthrough. The module can take in audio as either stereo analogue or digital AES/EBU (on left channel only) via a 15-way D-type connector provided on its rear panel. Alternatively, any two of the four pairs of embedded AES/EBU channels extracted from the video can be routed to the module for encoding. This option supports all the standard bit-rates and encoding modes associated with each compression standard. M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2 supports 12 db, 15 db, 18 db and 24 db audio clip level. The Audio Menu associated with this option is described in Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally, Section 4.9. In the Audio Setup Menu additional options are displayed for Audio XA and Audio XB, where X is the option slot number where the module is fitted. Refer to Annex F, Audio Modes for details of Encoder locking to ensure correct performance. 4 BISS is implemented according to EBU Tech 3292 May BISS-E is available from Build version and later.

If the Service ID (DVB) or Program Number (ATSC), PIDs or service names, of two or more of the services clash, the Remultiplexer can remap the Service ID or program number, remap PIDs, and alter the service names to resolve the clash. If a new service is detected on any input, and it clashes with an existing service, it is the new service s Service ID or Program Number, PIDs, or Service Name that are remapped to resolve the conflict. Service names are made unique by the addition of a number, for example Default Service may be renamed Default Service [2]. The way the Remultiplexer deals with user requests to remap PIDs ia as follows: If there is an attempt to move/remap a PID to a PID already being used, the Remultiplexer allows this to happen, and automatically remaps the element that was on that PID.

Connect transport streams that are to be combined (remultiplexed) with the host Encoder s services to the ASI inputs on the rear of the unit. NOTE It is possible to re-multiplex any DVB or ATSC compliant transport stream but at the time of publication, only transport streams generated by TANDBERG Television equipment are guaranteed to work when fed to the Re-multiplexing module. The equipment will automatically detect the services on these inputs. The list of detected services is displayed in the Setup/Mux Menu. Each service can be individually switched Off, On, or On with scrambling. If the service is set to Off, then there is no trace of the service in the output transport stream. New services can be set to default to either Off or On. If it was connected to the Remultiplexer the last time the Encoder was powered, then it assumes its previous state. It is possible to re-multiplex transport streams that have already been scrambled by BISS encryption, but it is not possible to re-multiplex transport streams that have already been scrambled using RAS encryption. Also it is not possible to scramble a service that has already been scrambled. Page 3-40

83 Options and Upgrades ATSC Re-multiplexing The Remultiplexer can work with ATSC compliant transport streams. It remaps the services following the ATSC program paradigm. The Encoder can be configured to generate the PSIP for the output transport stream. It generates the minimum number of tables to give an ATSC compliant output transport stream, i.e. Event Information Tables (EIT) 0, 1, 2 and 3, the System Time Table (STT), the Rating Region Table (RRT), the Master Guide Table (MGT), and either the Cable Virtual Channel Table (CVCT) or the Terrestrial Virtual Channel Table (TVCT), depending on the delivery descriptor set. It will not pass-through any tables that are present on the ASI input transport streams. Alternatively, an external PSIP generator can be connected to one of the Remultiplexer inputs and the remultiplexer programmed to pass-through a range of PIDs, thus inserting the PSIP into the output transport stream. For more information about using the Remux card in ATSC with internal and external PSIP see Annex H, Use of Remux Card in ATSC Setting Bit-rates and Avoiding Overflow Overflow is the condition in which the total of the contributing service bit-rates, (including the host mux), exceeds the output bit-rate of the primary re-multiplexing unit. NOTE Only useful packets (e.g. video, audio and data, etc) count towards the bit-rate of the contributing service bit-rates, not null packets Technical Specification Connectors Table 3.47: DVB ASI In 1, 2 and 3 Connector Item Specification Safety status SELV Connector designation DVB ASI IN 1, DVB ASI IN 2, DVB ASI IN 3 Connector type BNC Connector impedance 75 Ω 8 Data coding Channel rate 8B/10B 270 Mbit/s Specification DVB A010 rev 1 (Asynchronous Serial Interface) Ω terminator must be fitted when this interface is not in use. 9 Byte mode and single packet burst mode only.

Divide the 188 byte output bit-rate of the primary (master) re-multiplexing unit, (this can be found in the Setup/Mux/Remux Module/Output Bitrate), by the number of contributing services (including the primary service). Such that: O/P Rate (188) / N = Host Rate (188) [Where N = number of services to be combined including primary] 2. Then set the Host Rates (188) of each contributing unit and the master unit to equal the calculated Host Rate. If the above procedure is followed, an equal bit-rate is allocated to each contributing unit. By setting the host rates, the video and audio bit-rates will be automatically adjusted to suit. The amount of spare bit-rate and input bit-rate that has been used in the Remultiplexer can be monitored using the bar graph indicators in the Setup/Mux/Remux Module Menu. Page 3-42

85 What to do if Overflow Occurs Options and Upgrades If an Overflow Error is indicated on the equipment, then the incoming contributing bit-rate exceeds the outgoing bit-rate. To avoid corruption reduce the incoming bit-rate by either removing services, (turn the service Off or remove the ASI input), or reduce the bit-rate of the incoming service. It is possible to see the incoming and outgoing bit-rates presented graphically in the setup/mux/remux menu. Page 3-43

97 Options and Upgrades 3.25 Triax Option (M2/EOM2/TRIAX) Introduction This option is for the E5750 Encoder only. The card is designed to work in conjunction with the COFDM Modulator fitted to the E5750 Encoder in order to provide a TRIAX connection to external equipment Description The card takes in 70 MHz IF from the modulator and the 48 Vdc power from an external power supply. It also accepts control information from the control bus of the E5750. The 70 MHz signal is passed through onto the TRIAX output connector. The d.c. power is added to this so that external, downstream equipment (SHF up-converter and power amplifier) that is typically mounted close to the transmit antenna can be powered. Additionally, the TRIAX adaptor also makes it possible to control the external equipment from the front panel of the E5750. This is achieved using a data carrier at 400 MHz. Modems are fitted internally within the TRIAX adaptor and the external equipment, making it possible to set the final up-converter frequency directly from the front panel of the E5750. NOTE Remote control of the up-converter is currently only possible if a TANDBERG out-door unit is used such as the CT Please contact TANDBERG Customer Services for the latest compatible equipment Technical Specification The option card (designed for E5750 Encoder only) has two input connectors: D.C. Power (48 Vdc) on a 2-pin Lemo connector (LEMO ERA.OS.302.CLL) 70 MHz IF input (on a 75 Ω BNC. Typically, this is connected to the COFDM output of the adjacent modulator card. The option card has one output connector: TRIAX output on a Lemo connector (Triax-out: LEMO ERA.2S.675.CTL) Page 3-55

98 Options and Upgrades 3.26 Vocality Card Option (M2/EOM2/COMMS/FXS and M2/EOM2/COMMS/FXO) Overview The DSNG Communications Card adds bi-directional telephone, data and IP interfaces to an E5740 Encoder. There are two variants of the card, one provides FXS connectivity, which allows standard telephones to be plugged into the unit. The other provides FXO connectivity, which allows the unit to be connected to a PABX. Normally an FXS variant would be deployed in the field, with an FXO variant being used at the downlink site to connect into the office telephone system. Both variants allow the first four channels to be alternatively configured to operate as four-wire, Tie-line interfaces. The cards are four channel as standard but can be software upgraded to provide eight telephone channels. See Table 3.2 for the slots that it can be installed in.

The E5740 must also be fitted with a satellite demodulator and SD Decoder to provide a return data path. The RS-422 data from the SD Decoder is demultiplexed by the DSNG communications card to provide return data for all the telephone, data and IP interfaces. For details regarding configuring this card via the supervisor port refer to the DSNG Comms card documentation provided on the Reference CD. Page 3-56

In the four channel variant the top four connectors are not activated. With the FXS variant, telephone lines 1 to 4 can be configured to operate in either FXS or E and M (Tie-line) mode. Telephone Lines 5 to 8 can only operate in FXS mode. With the FXO variant, telephone lines 1 to 4 can be configured to operate in either FXO or E and M (Tie-line) mode. Telephone Lines 5 to 8 can only operate in FXO mode. FXS mode is used to connect to a circuit that requires a ringing voltage (a subscriber port). This may be a telephone or PABX trunk port, which operates on 2-wire circuits. For UK users, a British Telecommunications master Socket must be connected to the port in order to ring standard UK telephones, since no ring capacitor is included in the interface. Interfaces to subscriber telephones of other countries usually can be connected directly to the SNG Comms card, since the telephones have an integral ringing capacitor. FXO mode configures the interface to accept d.c. current or ring voltages, and so allows it to be connected to a PABX. Tie-line mode allows the telephone line to be connected to the Tie-line card of a PABX via a four-wire speech interface together with four wires for the E and M interface. WARNING THE TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTORS HAVE A SAFETY STATUS OF TNV (EN :2001 SECTION 2.3). THESE MAY ONLY BE CONNECTED TO PORTS OF A SIMILAR SAFETY STATUS. DUE TO THE HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES THAT CAN OCCUR ON TELEPHONE LINES, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE ENCODER CHASSIS IS EARTHED BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE LINE. Page 3-57

108 Options and Upgrades 3.29 E2V Stellar N63 and STA Series HPA Product Description It is normally necessary to have a separate HPA control panel to operate high-power amplifiers in outside-broadcast and fly away systems. To reduce the cost, size and weight of a system all TANDBERG Television MPEG-2 SD and HD DSNG Encoders are able to control an HPA directly from the front panel or web interface. This removes the need to have a separate HPA control panel. Currently only certain E2V amplifiers are supported but other protocols can be added according to customer demand. Please check with TANDBERG Customer Services for the latest status Menu Figure 3.27 shows the path to the E2V Series command under the Serial Menu Remote Control. When this item is selected, the HPA menu is available at the Summary Screen. Page 3-66

113 4.1 Read This First! Operating the Equipment Locally [Voyager Functionality Only] This Chapter only describes in detail the Output Menu for the modulator options used in the Voyager range of Encoders. For other details, please refer to the associated Reference Guide indicated in Chapter 1, Table Introduction The front panel display and keypad are used to configure, control and monitor the Encoder. The control interface is a structured menu which gives access to the various options. This chapter describes the menu hierarchy and menu items in detail. NOTES 1. The configuration of the Encoder after booting is the same as when power was removed, with the following exceptions: The satellite modulator output is switched off. The modulation of the IF carrier is switched on. The output power level is set to low. 2. If the Encoder configuration after power up, matches the required configuration, then to re-enable transmission the satellite modulator output must be switched on, and the output power level must be set to its previous setting. 4.3 Establishing Local Control (1U) At switch-on the Encoder runs through a boot sequence (boot time without any option modules is approximately 45 seconds). A typical Summary Screen is displayed. Service name Any of the following can be displayed: Initialising Only shown when the Encoder is booting On Air Outputs are on Off Air Outputs are off Scrambled Outputs are on and transport stream being scrambled with selected CA standard Default Service (On Air) 204 Bytes Mbit/s Serial Digital 188 or 204 byte transport packet Output transport stream bit-rate (at whichever output mode packet length has been selected) Video source selected Figure 4.1: 1U Summary Screen 4.4 Navigating the Display Screens (1U) Introduction The menu items on the display are selected and amended by one of the four navigation keys (shown as left, right, up and down arrows) and Enter and Cancel buttons (see Figure 4.2). Most of the screens displayed in this manual are for the 2U Encoder and are accessed in a Page 4-3

Some basic procedures are provide to follow in the event of a suspected Encoder failure. It is assumed that fault-finding has already been performed at a system level and that other equipment units have been eliminated as the possible cause of the failure (see relevant System Manual). WARNING DO NOT REMOVE THE COVERS OF THIS EQUIPMENT. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THIS EQUIPMENT AND MAY BE EXPOSED IF THE COVERS ARE REMOVED. ONLY TANDBERG TELEVISION TRAINED AND APPROVED SERVICE ENGINEERS ARE PERMITTED TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT. CAUTION Do not remove the covers of this equipment. Unauthorised maintenance or the use of non-approved replacements may affect the equipment specification and invalidate any warranties. This Reference Guide does not include any maintenance information or procedures which would require the removal of covers. If the following information fails to clear the abnormal condition, call a Service Engineer or contact Customer Services using the information given in the preliminary pages of this manual Preliminary Checks Always investigate the failure symptoms fully, prior to taking remedial action. Fault diagnosis for the equipment operator is limited to the following tasks, since the operator should NOT remove the covers of the equipment: 1. Check the front panel Power LED. If this is not lit: a) Replace the fuse in the power connector at the rear panel (see Section 6.6.3, User Accessible A.C. Power Fuse Replacement or Section 6.6.4, User Accessible D.C. Fuse Replacement as appropriate). NOTE Only replace the fuse once. If it blows again contact Customer Services. b) Replace external equipment, power source and cables by substitution to check their performance. 2. Confirm that the equipment hardware configuration is suitable for the purpose and has been correctly installed and connected (see Chapter 2, Installing the Equipment). Page 6-7

146 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding 3. Confirm that inappropriate operator action is not causing the problem, and that the equipment software set-up is capable of performing the task being asked of it. If the validity of the configuration, set-up or operation is in doubt, check it (see Chapter 4, Operating the Encoder Locally in the associated Reference Guide indicated in Chapter 1, Table 1.1). 4. Check that the fans are unobstructed and working correctly. When the failure condition has been fully investigated, and the symptoms are known, proceed with fault-finding according to the observed symptoms. If the fault persists, and cannot be rectified using the instructions given in this manual, contact Customer Services.

Disconnect the equipment and contact Customer Services for advice Video Fault-finding Fault Symptoms Table 6.3: Video Fault-finding Problem Video input lock error Video - wrong line standard VCM stopped Bad parameters What to do Check video input. Check which video format is selected. Reboot. Check set-up. Breaks in Transmission If a transitory break in transmission occurs then check the encoding mode option of the Encoder (see Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally). In the standard delay, low delay, very low delay and mega low delay the following are not seamless: encoding modes, bit-rate and GOP changes. This is because the Encoder tries to maintain minimal end-to-end delay (latency) and that means buffer sizes must be as small as possible. In the standard delay, low delay, very low delay and mega low delay encoding modes the buffer size is selected by the video bit-rate. Changing the bit-rate changes the buffer size, requiring a reset of the coding process. For reflex operation video bit-rate changes must be seamless as the bit-rate varies continuously. All the seamless modes are seamless only for video bit-rate changes. However, for some GOP changes operation can be seamless, but this aspect is not guaranteed. Noise Reduction Where incoming picture material is corrupted by high frequency noise (such as white noise) it is advisable to make use of the noise reduction process. Noise reduction can be selected at the front panel. Page 6-10

149 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding Audio Fault-finding If having problems when using the Dolby E Pass-thru or DTS Pass-thru coding modes then refer to Annex G, Audio Modes, for information about using this mode Mux Fault-finding If there is no output from the ASI connectors, check the following: 1. The bit-rate - if it is too low then the video etc. is automatically switched off. 2. The packet length - should be 188 or 204 bytes depending upon configuration. 6.7 Rate Buffer Setting Table 6.4: Encoder 4:2:2 Rate Buffer Setting SD Encoder Models HD Encoder Models E5714 DSNG E5740-xxx DSNG E5750 DENG E5784 DSNG E5788 DSNG Standard M2/ESO2/422 The Encoders, when running in 4:2:2 mode, have two software selectable rate buffer modes; small and medium. When transmitting 4:2:2 mode into systems using the earlier System 3000 PRO IRD M2/PSR/3/422BAS then the rate buffer mode of the Encoder must be set to 'small'. However, when operating into an Alteia the rate buffer mode of the Encoder must be set to medium (default size). When operating in mixed environments, both the Alteia and the Encoder must be changed to small buffer mode. NOTE Contact Customer Services for advice about changing the settings (see Preliminary Pages).

155 Glossary Channel Channel Coding Chrominance Closed Captioning CODE Codec COFDM Composite Compression Compression System C R C B CRC CVBS db DCE DCT A narrow range of frequencies, part of a frequency band, for the transmission of radio and television signals without interference from other channels. In the case of OFDM, a large number of carriers spaced apart at precise frequencies are allocated to a channel. A way of encoding data in a communications channel that adds patterns of redundancy into the transmission path in order to improve the error rate. Such methods are widely used in wireless communications. The colour part of a TV picture signal, relating to the hue and saturation but not to the luminance (brightness) of the signal. In a composite-coded colour system, the colour information (chrominance, often referred to as chroma) is modulated onto a high frequency carrier and added to the monochrome-format video signal carrying the luminance (Y). In a component-coded colour system, the two colour-difference signals (R-Y)(B-Y) usually referred to as C R C B (digital) or P R P B (analogue), are used to convey colour information. When C R C B (P R P B ) is added to the luminance (Y), the complete picture information is conveyed as YC R C B (YP R P B ). A TV picture subtitling system used with 525-line analogue transmissions. Create Once Distribute Everywhere. The combination of an Encoder and a complementary Decoder located respectively at the input and output of a transmission path.

See: Chrominance Cyclic Redundancy Check: A mathematical algorithm that computes a numerical value based on the bits in a block of data. This number is transmitted with the data and the receiver uses this information and the same algorithm to ensure the accurate delivery of data by comparing the results of algorithm and the number received. If a mismatch occurs, an error in transmission is presumed. Colour Video Black Sync Signal Decibels: A ratio of one quantity to another using logarithmic scales to give results related to human aural or visual perception. db is a ratio whereas dbm, for example, is an absolute value, quoted as a ratio to a fixed point of 0 dbm. 0 dbm is 1 mw at 1 khz terminated in dbmv is 1 mv terminated in 75.

Run Length Coding: Minimisation of the length of a bitstream by replacing repeated characters with an instruction of the form repeat character x y times. Single Channel Per Carrier. A process (in digital transmission) used to combine a digital signal with a pseudo-random sequence, producing a randomised digital signal that conveys the original information in a form optimised for a broadcast channel. Alteration of the characteristics of a television signal in order to prevent unauthorised reception of the information in clear form. Serial Digital Interface. Service Description Table: Provides information in the SI stream about the services in the system; for example, the name of the service, the service provider, etc. SELV Safety Extra Low Voltage (EN 60950). STB SFN SI Single Packet Burst Mode Smart Card SMATV Set-Top Box: A box that sits on top of a television set and is the interface between the home television and the cable TV company. New technologies evolving for set-top boxes are videoon-demand, video games, educational services, database searches, and home shopping. The cable equivalent of the IRD. Single Frequency Network: The SFN technique allows large geographic areas to be served with a common transmission multiplex. All transmitters in the network are synchronously modulated with the same signal and they all radiate on the same frequency. Due to the multipath capability of the multi-carrier transmission system (COFDM), signals from several transmitters arriving at a receiving antenna may contribute constructively to the total wanted signal. The SFN technique is not only frequency efficient but also power efficient because fades in the field strength of one transmitter may be filled by another transmitter. Service Information: Digital information describing the delivery system, content and scheduling (timing) of broadcast data streams. DVB-SI data provides information to enable the IRD to automatically demultiplex and decode the various streams of programmes within the multiplex. Specified in ISO/IEC 13818[1]. (DVB) A burst of ASI bytes (either 188 or 204, depending on packet length) is contiguously grouped into an MPEG-2 Transport Stream packet. Stuffing data is added between the packets to increase the data rate to 270 Mbit/s. See DVB Document A010 rev. 1, Section B3.3, (ASI) Layer-2 Transport Protocol. A plastic card with a built-in microprocessor and memory used for identification, financial transactions or other authorising data transfer. When inserted into a reader, data is transferred to and from the host machine or a central computer. It is more secure than a magnetic stripe card and it can be disabled if the wrong password is entered too many times. As a financial transaction card, it can be loaded with digital money and used in the same way as cash until the balance reaches zero. The file protocol is specific to its intended application. Satellite Mast Antenna Television: A distribution system, which provides sound and television signals to the households of a building or group of buildings, typically used to refer to an apartment block.

Subscriber Management System: A system which handles the maintenance, billing, control and general supervision of subscribers to conditional access technology viewing services provided through cable and satellite broadcasting. An SMS can be an automatic (e.g. Syntellect) system where subscribers order entitlements by entering information via a telephone. Alternatively, an SMS can be a manual system, which requires subscribers to speak with an operator who then manually enters their entitlement requests. Some systems support multiple SMSs. Satellite News-Gathering. Simple Network Management Protocol. Information repetition due to areas of similar luminance and/or chrominance characteristics within a single frame. Removed using DCT and Quantisation (Intra-Frame Coding). Synchronous Parallel Interface. Data tables are used to assign fewer bits to the most commonly occurring events, thereby reducing the overall bit-rate. Removed using Run Length Coding and Variable Length Coding. Transparent Asynchronous Tx / Rx Interface: A proprietary high speed data interface. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: A set of communications protocols that may be used to connect different types of computers over networks. Time Division Multiplex: One common, communications channel carrying a number of signals, each with its own allotted time slot. Time and Date Table: Part of the DVB Service Information. The TDT gives information relating to the present time and date. Information repetition due to areas of little or no movement between successive frames. Removed using motion estimation and compensation (Inter-Frame Coding). A term that indicates the time of a specific action such as the arrival of a byte or the presentation of a presentation unit. Time Offset Table: This optional SI table supports the use of local offsets as well as the UTC time/date combination. The purpose of the table is to list by country the current offset from UTC and the next expected change to that offset (to track when daylight saving occurs). The offset resolution is to within 1 minute over a range of ±12 hours from UTC.
