1. Safety and operating instructions

 

When installing, starting-up and adjusting the devices, it is necessary to consider the system specific references in

 

the instruction manual.

 

The devices may only be installed and started up by authorized technical personnel. 

 

When installing the devices into the receiving points, the adherence of the EMC regulations is to be ensured.

 

The installing and wiring have to be done without voltage.

 

With all work the defaults of the DIN EN 50083 have to be considered. It is especially important to follow DIN EN 60728-11[2].

 

If installed in mounting cabinets  adequate air circulation must be guaranteed. The mounting in closed cabinets without   

 

sufficient air flow is 

not allowed

.

 

The devices are rated protection classification I. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to insert the mains plug into a socket  

 

with protective contact.

4. General

The SAT-TV Transmodulator A-PALIOS-IPM4CI is a device of the head end system A-LINE, which is conceived as a complete system 

for big and middle sized networks.

The A-PALIOS-IPM4CI selects eight programs from up to eight fed-in IP transport streams or from an ASI transport stream and converts 

these into analogue TV signals to transmit it in cable networks. In this case, a maximum of eight analogue television channels is 

generated from the available H.264/ AVC or MPEG2 transport streams.

5. Main features

• 8x IP SPTS/ MPTS input

• IP streaming via RJ45 or SFP with redundancy

• 1x ASI input

• 4x Common Interface according PCMCIA standard, cascadable, multi decryption capable

• MPEG 2/4 HD/ SD decoding

• multi-standard PAL modulator

• IEdge signal processing

• RF output switchable as single or with loop

• control of the device via HTML or SNMP 

6. Functional description

The device receives a data stream via Gigabit Ethernet. It can receive up to eight transport streams from the included IP encapsulated 

transport streams. The eight transport streams are further processed in eight H.264/ AVC & MPEG2 decoders. A high-performance 

FPGA does the  analogue TV modulation and the freely adjustable up-conversion into the cable network range (45 ... 862 MHz). 2 

Common Interface slots enables the use of 4 CA modules, which are cascadable, for the reception of scrambled signals/ programms.

1

The eightfold modulator is adjacent channel compatible. A high-speed digital

analogue converter (DAC) is responsible for the excellent 

output signal. After amplification and sum level adjustment, the cable signal is coupled through a directional coupler to the output jacks.

1

 The design of the Common interface of this module is done according to DVB standards. Because of the dependencies in interaction of the DVB

  signals, CA modules and smart cards we can not assure a general functional capability for all application possibilities. Please contact our servic

  department for further assistance.
