2 Description

2.1 TechniNet BS4 (0000/5960) base unit

The TechniNet BS4 Professional is a base unit that accepts SkyCable TWIN cards for professional satellite signal processing. The eight slots for eight TWIN cards, professional power supply with safety features, and numerous connection options enable this head station to fulfil every conceivable usage scenario.

The inbuilt 4/16 multi-switch saves expensive internal cabling in the base unit and provides four fully-functional satellite inputs that generate both 13/18V and 0/22 kHz signals for controlling the LNB. This gives the receiver cards unlimited access to all four IF levels. Naturally, the system also has inputs and outputs for SAT IF signals, enabling these signals to be distributed from one base unit to another in cascade mode.

Image: Block diagram for TechniNet BS4 base unit

This top-quality switching mode power supply with constant ventilation ensures that sufficient power is available and protects against high temperatures and current loads. 3 temperature-controlled fans are incorporated in the housing to improve thermal stability for the components by removing the hot air from the housing.

The base unit can be controlled using the programming remote control via a cable connection. In addition, there is the option of using an Ethernet connection to enable programming over the LAN via a laptop with a GUI.

The TWIN card output signals are fed over the preinstalled collection area and boosted via the integrated hybrid amplifier to an output level of up to 107dBμV.

The base unit HF outputs can be cascaded. However, to reduce the system noise power it is often advantageous to feed the output signals for multiple base units via an external diplexer and feed them into the existing cable network.

The flexible mounting system supplied allows the base unit to be mounted on a wall or on a professional 19" rack.

2.2 Explanation of controls

Image: Top view of TechniNet BS4 base unit

3 Implementation

The following prerequisites must be followed to prepare the TechniNet BS4 head station for use:

- Appropriate experience in constructing cable head stations and satellite reception equipment.

- Access to a professional digital measuring device with the following features:

• Level measurement in dBμV.
  • C/N measurement in dB for PAL signals.
• Bit error rate (BER) measurement for QAM signals.
• Modulation error rate (MER) measurement for QAM signals.
• Spectrum analysis.

The head station should be mounted in rooms where the permitted ambient temperature (0-45°C) can safely be maintained.

Please observe the safety instructions in section 2 at all times.

3.1 Wall mounting

Use four screws to attach the base unit to the two pre-mounted angle brackets against a firm, non-flammable background.

Ensure there is clearance of at least 20cm above the base unit. Never cover the ventilator air output slits.

3.2 19" rack mounting

To mount on a 19" rack, remove the angle brackets supplied from the back of the base unit and mount them on the front of the housing. Now mount the base unit onto a 19" rack using additional fixing brackets in the 19" rack. Ensure there is a clearance of at least 20cm above the base unit.

3.3 Earthing

Carry out potential equalisation on the head station in accordance with regulations and observe the relevant provisions of EN 50083-1/EN 60728-11 at all times. Connect the head station PA connector to the PA equalising bar via a copper wire of at least 4mm^2 (green/yellow).

3.4 Connecting the power supply

Connect the base unit low heat socket to a properly functioning mains socket (230V\~/50Hz) using the mains cable supplied.

This enables you to switch on the TechniNet BS4 base station via the mains switch. The device is immediately ready for use.

Only use the original mains cable supplied.

Image: Power supply connection area

3.5 Connecting the SAT IF inputs and outputs

Always use your professional measuring device to check the SAT IF signal quality and ensure that the signal levels are within the input level range of the multi-switch. The level should be approx. 80 dBμV.

Attach the SAT IF cables to the appropriately marked inputs on the base units and check whether potential equalisation needs to be carried out on the coaxial cable.

The maximum LNB remote feed current is 300mA per input and is short-circuit-proof.

Image: SAT IF connection area

The outputs are used to loop the SAT IF signals through to another base unit. Cascading more than two devices is not recommended because of the increase in level difference in the input signal. Unused SAT looping outputs must be terminated using the enclosed terminal resistors.

3.5.1 Connecting the HF outputs

The integrated collection area in the TechniNet BS4 base unit switches the 16 channel strips to the HF output. Attach the CATV network coaxial cable to the RF output port on the base unit and check whether potential equalisation needs to be carried out on the coaxial cable.

Image: HF outputs connection area

The RF input port is used for cascading an additional BS4. To do this, connect the RF output for the second BS4 to the input for the first. Cascading more than two devices is not recommended because of the increase in system noise power. It is better to feed the output signals from a third BS4 base unit via an external diplexer.

If the RF input port is not being used, it must be terminated with a 75 ohm terminal resistor at all times.

3.5.2 Connecting the LAN

You can use the Ethernet LAN ports to configure and control the TechniNet BS4 base unit via a graphic user interface on a PC. To do this, connect the PC to the Ethernet 1 port on the BS4 using a network cable.

Image: LAN connection area

To network additional base units, use the Ethernet 2 port on the BS4. To do this, connect the Ethernet 2 port on the first BS4 to the Ethernet 1 port on the second BS4 and so on. The subnet mask sets a volume limit.

3.6 Implementing the SkyCable TWIN cards

After you have installed all the connection cables on the base unit, the SkyCable TWIN cards are installed. Before you insert cards into the TechniNet BS4 base station, always switch them to zero potential.

Please note:

When handling SkyCable cards, ESD protection measures in accordance with DIN 100 015-1 must be observed (create potential equalisation between the body and the earth of the device and housing via high-impedance resistance (c. 1 mohm) e.g. using a standard ESD wrist strap).

After you have opened the door of the base unit, the slots for the SkyCable cards will be visible. Slot 1 is located on the left and slot 8 on the right of the base unit.

Picture: Base station TechniNet BS4 Professional, equipped

Now insert the cards into the slots one at a time and connect the tuner coaxial cables to the multi-switch F-jack. The coaxial connections for unused slots must be closed off using 75 ohm resistances. When all the cards have been installed, you can reconnect the base unit to the mains.

Now program the cards using the programming remote control or the PC software (TMS), if you are a trained expert. You can find details on how to use the programming remote control for the setup in the following sections.

3.6.1 Levelling the head station

When you have finished configuring all the cards, connect your professional measuring device to the base unit operating output and adjust the output levels of all the channels to the correct level setting, as in the following diagram.

Image: BC network level characteristics

Adjust all the signal parameters related to performance e.g. C/N (PAL), MER and BER (QAM) to the quality you want and log them.

Observe the permitted useful signal level in the internal distribution network as described in section 6.3 at all times.

5.4 DVB-C data rates

Modulation 16 QAM		32 QAM	64 QAM	128 QAM	256 QAM
Theoretical max. bandwidth usage in Bits/s Hz	4 5 6	7 8
Gross data rate in (MBit/s) at: Symbol rate 6.90 MBaud Channel bandwidth	27.6 34	5 41.4 48	3 55.2
Net data rate in (MBit/s)	25.44 3	1.97 38	15 44.15	50.87

To ascertain the net data rate, the following criteria need to be taken into consideration:

■ Channel bandwidth B = (7 MHz or 8MHz)
■ Modulation process (64 QAM or 256 QAM)
■ Roll-off factor r = 0.15
■ Frame length in 204 byte transport stream
■ RS code (204,188)
■ 6 bit per Symbol [with 64 QAM] 8 bit per Symbol [with 256 QAM]

■ The code conversion for 8-bit [= 1 byte] wide words to 6-bit wide symbols means changing the frame length from 204 bytes to 272 symbols in the data stream.

Example:

With reference to an 8 MHz channel and 64 QAM this gives:

$$ V _ {S y m b o l} = \frac {B}{1 + r} = \frac {8 M H z}{1 . 1 5} = 6, 9 6 \frac {M S y m b o l e}{s} $$

Therefore a maximum of 6.96 - 10^5 symbols per second can be transferred. As each symbol consists of 6 bits, this gives a gross bit rate of:

$$ \left(V _ {b i t}\right) _ {B r u t t o} = n \cdot \frac {b i t}{S y m b o l} \cdot V _ {S y m b o l} = 6 \frac {b i t}{S y m b o l} \cdot 6, 9 6 \cdot 1 0 ^ {6} \frac {\text { Symbole }}{s} $$

$$ (V _ {b i t}) _ {B r u t t o} = 4 1, 7 6 M b i t / s $$

To calculate the net bit rate the external error correction according to Reed Solomon coding needs to be considered as well.

$$ \left(V _ {b i t}\right) _ {\text { Netto }} = R _ {R S} \cdot \left(V _ {b i t}\right) _ {\text { Brutto }} = \frac {1 8 8}{2 0 4} \cdot 4 1, 7 6 M b i t / s $$

$$ (V _ {b i t}) _ {\text { Netto }} = 3 8, 5 \text { Mbit / s } $$
