The cassette is equipped with four channel strips ("

"). The channel 

strips consist of the digital tuners, the digital signal preparation units and the 
output converter. The channel strips are indicated in the head-end station dis-
play  with  "

channels can be descrambled via tuner "

The control of the cassette takes place via the control unit of the head-end station.

 

Four LEDs provide an indication of the SAT IF input signal quality based on 
their colour and indicate if the respective channel strip is switched on (LED il-
luminates) or off.

 

The integrated TPS module (Transport Stream Processing) processes the data 
of the transport streams.
