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). 1.2.2 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 300 421 (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 302 307). E5740 Encoder The satellite modulator fitted within the E5740 is capable of QPSK modulation in accordance with EN 300 421 (DVB-S) / EN 302 307 (DVB-S2), and is also capable of 8PSK and 16QAM modulation in accordance with EN 301 210 (DVB-DSNG). It is available in two variants. One provides an IF output tuneable in the range 50 MHz to 180 MHz.

Introduction to the Basic Encoder 1.2.3 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: 12-1284-030 and 13.1174.000) the E5750 Encoder provides a Triax output with 70 MHz, +48 Vdc and control signalling on a single Triax cable. 1.2.4 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 equipment is designed to be suitable for both flyaway use (within an appropriate flight case) and truck installation. 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. RAS and BISS are only available when software options M2/ESO2/RAS and M2/EDCOM2/BISS are purchased. A E57xx Encoder may be fitted with both RAS and BISS options but only one scrambling format can be used at any one time. Page 1-7

Options and Upgrades 3.3 E5714/E5740/E5750 SD Option Functions The basic Encoder functionality can be enhanced with the inclusion of options, hardware and software. Each hardware option module consists of a horizontally mounted PCB with rear panel connector space (except the M2/EDCOM2/BISS which has no external connectors and does not occupy an option slot). At reset, the software of the Encoder detects which modules are fitted and configures them as necessary. The modules can be fitted into the positions indicated in Table 3.2. When the appropriate software option has been purchased it is enabled in the Encoder, which resets and displays the appropriate menu items. See Table 3.3 for the software options.

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 2.2.0 and later. NOTE Only Modes 0 and 1 are available at Build version 2.1.0. 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 S11484. 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 4.12.14). 3.9 Additional Audio and Linear PCM Option (M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2) 3.9.1 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 2002. BISS-E is available from Build version 2.2.0 and later. Page 3-12

3.14 IP Output Card (M2/EOM2/IP) IP Card ProMPEG FEC (M2/EOM2/IP/PROFEC) 3.14.1 Overview Options and Upgrades The IP Output card provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, out of which the transport stream generated by the Encoder can be output in UDP packets at up to 50 Mbit/s. The mapping of MPEG-2 transport stream packets into IP data frames is done according to the protocol stack shown in Figure 3.11. NOTE More support has been given in V2.8.x of the IP Output Card in V3.6.x of the Encoder. This is accessed using menu items on the IP menu tree from the front panel, telnet and web interfaces. The IP output can be turned off using the IP Output menu item. A Line Mode menu item allows the setting to be either Fixed or Auto. MPEG- 2 Transport Stream MPEG-2/DVB Layer TCP/UDP UDP User Datagram Protocol Transport Layer - IP Link Layer 10/100-baseT Ethernet Figure 3.11: IP Output Protocol Stack Between one and seven MPEG-2 transport stream packets can be put in each UDP packet. The data link layer is Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3/802.3u (auto-sensing 10/100 Mbit/s, twisted pair, via RJ-45 connector). 3.14.2 Support for ProMPEG FEC Using this option provides support for ProMPEG FEC in place of DVB FEC. See Annex K for details. 3.14.3 Smallcasting Mode In this mode, the transport stream can be transmitted to four specified IP addresses NOTE The maximum multiplexer output rate, which can be reliably streamed to each IP address, is reduced for each extra destination address that is added. i.e. if two destinations are specified, the maximum rate for each address is half of that for one address, and so on.

The module allows the Encoder to receive and demodulate satellite transmissions that comply to EN 300 421 (DVB-S). It must be used with an SD Decoder Module (M2/EOM2/DEC), which takes and decodes the transport stream produced by the demodulator. The module has three inputs; an IF input that operates over a frequency range of 50 MHz to 180 MHz, and 20 dbm to 40 dbm input power, and two L-Band inputs that operate over a frequency range of 950 MHz to 2150 MHz, and 25 dbm to 65 dbm input power. It can normally receive signals with symbol rates in the range 1 to 45 Msymbol/s, but if the low symbol rate option (M2/EOS2/LSYM) is purchased this can be expanded to cover 0.3 to 45 Msymbol/s. 3.18.2 Assembly Rear Panel Ω ASI IN IF In A 75 Ω female BNC connector provides an IF Input.

Options and Upgrades 3.19.3 Stages of Re-multiplexing The Remultiplexer is capable of combining four inputs. Three inputs are in the form of ASI feeds to the rear panel, the fourth input is fed from the host Encoder (or primary Encoder). This basic configuration, using a single stage of re-multiplexing, means that four Encoder services (or streams) can be combined together in the output. Figure 3.15 shows a typical satellite system using one stage of re-multiplexing.

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

Options and Upgrades 3.19.6 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. 3.19.7 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. 3.19.8 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) 9 8 75 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

3.19.9 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

Options and Upgrades 3.25 Triax Option (M2/EOM2/TRIAX) 3.25.1 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. 3.25.2 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 2636. Please contact TANDBERG Customer Services for the latest compatible equipment. 3.25.3 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

Options and Upgrades 3.26 Vocality Card Option (M2/EOM2/COMMS/FXS and M2/EOM2/COMMS/FXO) 3.26.1 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 60950-1:2001 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

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 1.1. 4.2 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.

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. 6.6.2 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

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. Switch off the equipment if it becomes unusable, or to protect it from further damage. 6.6.3 User Accessible A.C.

Disconnect the equipment and contact Customer Services for advice. 6.6.5 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

Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding 6.6.6 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. 6.6.7 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). Table 6.5: Rate Buffer Settings Encoder Setting Alteia Setting PRO IRD SMALL - Alteia only MEDIUM MEDIUM Alteia and PRO IRD SMALL SMALL 6.8 Field/Frame Pictures Some Receivers are unable to decode field pictures.

When expressed in Hertz, the frequency may be a greater number than the actual bits per second, because the bandwidth is the difference between the lowest and highest frequencies transmitted. High bandwidth allows fast transmission or high-volume transmission. Each byte is delivered separately in the ASI Transport Stream, with stuffing data added between the Bytes to increase the data rate to 270 Mbit/s. See DVB Document A010 rev. 1, Section B3.3, (ASI) Layer-2 Transport Protocol. Conditional Access: The technology used to control the access to viewing services to authorised subscribers through the transmission of encrypted signals and the programmable regulation of their decryption by a system such as viewing cards. Conditional Access Table: Part of the MPEG-2 Program Specific Information (PSI) data. Mandatory for MPEG-2 compliance if CA is in use. The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which spans the frequency range of approximately 4 GHz to 6 GHz. Used by communications satellites.

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. Coded OFDM: COFDM adds forward error correction to the OFDM transmission consisting of Reed-Solomon (RS) coding followed by convolutional coding 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. CVBS Video Signal, 1 V pk-pk Reduction in the number of bits used to represent the same information. For the purposes of a broadcast system, it is the process of reducing digital picture information by discarding redundant portions of information that are not required when reconstituting the picture to produce viewing clarity.

Raw video data is not readily compressible. DCT is not in itself a compression technique but is used to process the video data so that it is compressible by an encoder. DCT processes the picture on an 8x8-pixel block basis, converting the data from an uncompressible X Y form (as displayed by an oscilloscope) to a compressible frequency domain form (as displayed by a spectrum analyser). Can be forward DCT or inverse DCT. Page A-3

Uninterruptable Power Supply: A method of supplying backup power when the electrical power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level. Small UPS systems provide battery power for a few minutes; enough to power down the computer in an orderly manner. This is particularly important where write back cache is used. Write back cache is where modified data intended for the disk is temporarily stored in RAM and can be lost in the event of a power failure. Sophisticated systems are tied to electrical generators that can provide power for days. UPS systems typically provide surge suppression and may provide voltage regulation. Universal Time Coordinate: An internationally agreed basis for timekeeping introduced in 1972 and based on international atomic time (corresponds to Greenwich Mean Time or GMT). Vertical Interval Time Code. Vertical Interval Test Signal: See: ITS. Video Programming System: A German precursor to PDC Wide Screen Switching: Data used in wide-screen analogue services, which enables a receiver to select the appropriate picture display mode. World System Teletext: System B Teletext. Used in 625 line / 50 Hz television systems (ITU-R 653). A type of programmable Integrated Circuit. Audio connector featuring three leads, two for signal and one for GND. Defines the brightness of a particular point on a TV line. The only signal required for black and white pictures.
