Setup instructions

The DVB-S(2) trans-modulator/multiplexer (2 x QPSK/8PSK on COFDM) is set up using the controller on the base unit UFG 404 or UFG 412 or UFG 412/R.

Required controller software version: from version V9.40

For setup, connect the controller to the module. The buttons listed below refer to the controller (see also the user instructions for the UFG 404, etc. base units and the UFG 300 controller).

Note: The settings and numerical values shown below are intended as an example and do not necessarily match the delivery status.

Select the desired parameter using the "<" and "> " buttons.

The selected parameter flashes in the display.

The setting is performed using the "+" and "-" buttons and where necessary using the "Change setting mode" button

The sub-menus are activated and deactivated by pressing the "Sub-menu" button

Finally, press "M" to save the setting in the module.

Note: If the controller is disconnected from the module by pressing the "M" button without saving the settings, the settings originally stored in the module are reactivated.

On compiling the channel filter

If the channel multiplex filter is compiled, a display appears next to the parameter indicating the current output data rate. Since the data rate can vary depending on the channel content, the instantaneous and maximum values are displayed. The value range runs from 0 to 100 percent, where 100 percent indicates that the channel unit is overloaded.

Note: For safe scheduling, the maximum possible data rate for the desired channels should be requested from the relevant satellite signal playout centre.

Since the channels are selected for 2 tuners and only one COFDM channel is used as output, this can lead to the maximum available data rate being exceeded if too many channels are selected in the channel multiplex filter.

Note: Only average values that can vary based on channels are displayed. To ensure error-free operation you should plan for at least 10 to 15 % spare capacity, i.e. the data rate utilisation should not be greater than 85 to 90 %.

Each of the two input tuners can pass through a maximum of 20 channels, so the output channel can accommodate a maximum of 40 channels.

Note: If the maximum possible number of channels carried over is exceeded, an error message appears.

The "channel fi Iter" sub-menu is exited using the "Sub-menu" button. To do this, select the "<" or "> " on the parameter "Back".

In numeric mode each digit can be modified by pressing the "+" or "-" keys in ± 1 increments. The values available are "00h" to "FFh".

1.14.2 Transport stream ID (TSID) and original network ID (ONID)

As the data rate of a COFDM-modulated transport stream is normally lower than the data rate of the received transport stream, it may be necessary to distribute the services of an individual transport stream at the input to several transport streams at the output. In their search mode some receivers do then not detect all channels that were originally compiled in the original transport stream. In this case they require the "TSID" transport stream ID to be adjusted and/or "ONID" original network ID.

Note: The TSID and the ONID are 16-bit numbers. A transport stream can be differentiated from all other transport streams in a DVB-T system by a unique combination of TSID and ONID. For DVB the ONID normally describes the original location of a transport streams.

Menus are available for editing the TSID and the ONID. The values can be modified by selecting the corresponding "orig" entry using the "<" or ">” buttons and set to the "edit" value by using the "+" or "-" buttons. The current values of the TSID and ONID from the processed transport stream are displayed in hexadecimal notation. In the "edit" setting you can modify the values of the corresponding IDs. To do this, select the value using the ">” button. Use the "+" or "-" key to change the current value in ± 1 increments. Alternatively you can also select numeric setting mode by pressing the 🎨 button. In numeric mode each digit can be modified by pressing the "+" or "-" keys in ± 1 increments. All IDs should be entered in hexadecimal format. Possible values are "00h" to "FFh" for the OID and "0000h" to "FFFFh" for the TSID and the ONID.

Note: Only experienced users should modify the TSID or ONID. If several channels (services) of a SAT transport stream are distributed to multiple COFDM transport streams, it is possible that the receiver cannot automatically detect all channels because in this case the uniqueness of the TSID / ONID pair is lost. In this case please proceed as follows:

  • Preferably the ONID should be modified. If possible, set it to a value between FF00h and FFEEh. This range is reserved for private use and is not used by public network operators.
  • If the channel search is unsuccessful despite the ONID adjustment, the TSID can be modified. Please ensure that all TSIDs in a system are adjusted to guarantee uniqueness for each transport stream.

This sub-menu can be exited only when the cursor is on the "OID" parameter. To do this, use the "<" and "> " buttons to select "OID" and press the "Sub-menu" button to return to the main menu.

Note: Modifying the TSID and the ONID requires that the channel filter is active.

1.15 Conditional Access with it CI retrofit kit (only if CI retrofit kit fitted)

The UFZ 394 CI retrofit kit (200610097) can be fitted to enable decoding of encrypted channels. Fitting is described in the documentation. If the UFZ 394 CI retrofit kit is fitted, the software detects this automatically and modifies the menu contents accordingly.

"Transport stream processor" sub-menu

The transport stream processor "TP" is selected using the "<" and ">” buttons and the sub-menu is called up using the "Sub-menu" button. If the UFZ 394 CI retrofit kit is detected, the "CI" parameter will appear.

“CI” is selected using the “<” and “>” buttons and the sub-menu below is called up using the “Sub-menu” button ☐.

*** UFO333MX *** Slot 1 -- Slot unused -- PMT oaa normal

Sub-menu for "CI"

*** UFO333MX *** Slot 1 AlphaCrypt Light PMT oaa normal

Sub-menu for "CI"

You can select between the CI module slot "1" display and slot "2" display by setting the slot number using the "<" or "> key, and by setting "1" or "2" using the "-" and "+" buttons. If a CI module is plugged into the respective slot (1 or 2), its name is displayed; otherwise a message that the slot is empty is displayed.

*** UFO333MX *** Slot 1 AlphaCrypt Light PMT oaa normal

Sub-menu for "CI"

*** UFO333MX *** Slot 1 AlphaCrypt Light PMT oaa normal

Sub-menu for "CI"

If more than one channel is decoded using a CAM (Conditional Access Module), there are different ways by which CAMs manage the list of these channels. If the first parameter in the bottom line is selected using the "<" and "> " buttons, the "+" and "-" buttons can be used to select between "Only Add Add", "oaa" and "First More More Last" "fmml".

The second parameter in the bottom line relates to the updating of the PMT if there have been changes to the management information. When the "<" and "> " buttons have been selected, the "+" and "-" buttons can be used to select between "Update the complete channel list", "normal" and "List update", "optimised". Whilst practically all CAMs support the "normal" setting, there are some CAMs that do not permit the "optimised" setting.

Note: An inappropriate "normal" or "optimised" setting can cause loss of all encrypted channels; it may be necessary to switch the module off and on again to recover from this.

Note: The selection of the channels to be decoded is performed in the Channel filter menu.

The "TP" transport stream processor is selected using the "<" and ">” buttons and the sub-menu is called up with the "Sub-menu" button.

The "Filter" channel filter is selected if necessary using the "<" and "> " buttons and is called up using the "Sub-menu" button".

"Transport stream processor" sub-menu

In addition, for the "1.13 Transport stream processor: Channel filter", if the CI retrofit kit is fitted a selection facility appears in the top line at the far right. This is for decoding the module slot provided (1 or 2), and offers the following selection options:

“-” = No decoding

“1” = Decoding via CAM 1

“2” = Decoding via CAM 2

Note: Only channels (T, R or D) from the E2 input tuner can be decoded.

*** UFO333MX *** T / 001 / 009 Das Erste / - Compile

"Filter" sub-menu

*** UFO333MX *** T / 001 / 009 Das Erste / + / 1 Compile

"Filter" sub-menu

For this the "<" and ">" buttons may be used to select the parameters and the "+" and "-" buttons to select between "-", "1" and "2". The settings become effective when the filter table is compiled. This is done using the "<" and "> " buttons; select the "Compile" parameter and use the "+" or "-" buttons to initiate the compilation of the channel table. The menu is exited by pressing the "Sub-menu" button. If this brings you back to "Transport stream processor" in the sub-menu, this can be exited only when the cursor is on the filter's "On/Off" parameter.
