3 Introduction
The SDT ARK-6 Series has been designed as a brand new model of software defined transmitters which
incorporate all the technical and functional capabilities of the previous models of the ARK-1 family (ARK1, ARK-R, ARK-T, ARK-ATSC, ECHO-2) together with a complete set of new functionalities that bring the
transmitter at the forefront of the technology edge.
The New SDT ARK-6 Series is the result of years of research and represents the state of the art of the
worldwide transmitter technology. We call it UNIVERSAL DRIVER because of its incredible capability to
modulate in all schemes, just uploading a proper software package. It is perfect for both international
broadcasters which have business in several countries to increase manageability of investment through
reduction of transmitter types and national broadcasters, due for its versatility in operation modes and
configuration. In fact it can be used as a Transmitter, an Heterodyne Transposer, a Regenerative
Transposer and Single Frequency Echo Canceller (proper to Single Frequency Networks), all in a single
hardware.
ARK-6 UNIVERSAL DRIVER is resilient to future evolutions of technology and standardization: this
platform guarantees a perfect upgrade path for new modulation schemes that the researchers will
delivery. Besides ARK-6 UNIVERSAL DRIVER already implements DVB-T/T2, PAL, ATSC/MH, NTSC, ISDB-T
modulations. The SDT ARK-6 allows selection of transmission modes in various ways: remotely, using a
dry contact; via SNMP commands; via TCP/IP, using the Web graphic interface; or even via a dedicated
command inserted into the transport stream. Functional interfaces are available for total remote control
of the apparatus by means of serial protocols or TCP/IP ports. Thanks to the internal Web server the
apparatus can be easily monitored and configured and updated using a LAN connection and a standard
Web browser. Moreover, the built-in SNMP agent allows full automated remote control.
Based on Software Defined Technology, ARK-6 allows the definition of different operative modes on the
same hardware platform. A single software controller allows the ARK-6 to be loaded with up to five
working modes simultaneously and to switch between them preserving each mode-specific
configuration.
The SDT ARK-6 Series specifications can be found in chapter 4.
A brief description of the main features and potentialities of each operative mode follows in next
paragraphs.
The following table shows all the allowed hardware configurations.

3.7 Synchronization
The ARK6 includes a holdover function provided by a higher grade Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator.
The ARK6 is equipped with an internal OCXO for improved phase noise and stability. The system is
provided with internal 10MHz and 1PPS signals which are disciplined to the GPS time signal or to the
10MHz and 1PPS external references. The stability of internal frequency and phase is assured by the
highly stable OCXO. If the satellites signal, from the GPS receiver, or the external reference sources are
completely lost, the Holdover mode enables the unit to keep working with internal 10MHz and 1PPS for
the duration of the Holdover Timeout, with very low drift over time.

5 Java Graphic User Interface
The Java Graphic User Interface, stored in the board File System, is downloaded to the local PC every
time the user connects to the board with a Web Browser. A proper Java Virtual Machine is needed; refer
to the Appendix B for a description of supported Java and Internet Browsers.
5.1 Authentication Option
In order to prevent unauthorized users from accessing ARK6 devices via Java Graphic User Interface, an
authentication mechanism can be enabled by means of a factory setting. The name/password
credentials provide control only over who can open the GUI, and requires that all users know a single
name/password to access it.
If the authentication mechanism is set for the GUI access, operators will be prompted to enter User
Name and Password before they can have read/write access. The following figure shows the window
that appears as soon as an operator tries to access the Java GUI.
Figure 4.
GUI - Login
Enter your User Name and Password and then click “OK” in order to log in.
The default factory login credentials are:
User name: “screen”
Password: “0000”
Use the Change Password tab to change your credentials.

Click on Linear Precorrection button, highlighted in the next figure, to access the filter window.
Figure 27.
Adaptive Linear Precorrection
The ARK6 system provides a pre-correction tool for Module&Phase output signal pre-correction.
This tool provides two grids for the drawing of:

Module of the filter’s curve.

Group Delay of the filter’s curve.
The two curves are used to calculate the linear pre-correction coefficients. The curves are drawn by the
interpolation of 1024 points referring to the points inserted and using a linear or polynomial
interpolation algorithm.
Knob points can be added with a left-click of the mouse on the grid and deleted with a right-click, drag
and move a point to change the curve.
Each coefficient variation, due to curves change, is saved in the FPGA “runtime” memory registers and
dynamically changes the device’s output.
The tool is prevented to send an “overflowing” amount of data to the device: curve changes will be
applied only when the mouse button is released.
Version 1.1
SDT_ARK6_User_Manual_ENG_vATSC
Page 66 of 206
ISO 9001:2000 Cert. N°4500/1
In the module grid, the red curve is used to monitor the current module curve calculating and saving.
The last saved coefficients are locally downloaded from the FPGA runtime memory registers in order to
redraw the curve.
Remember to click on the Save as button the first time you change the factory default curves in order to
do not overwrite them.
The following buttons allow the management of linear pre-correction files and the management of the
connection to port 5000:

Save: used to save in the device memory the current curves setting. The previously saved file
will be overwritten except in the event that no files have been saved before; in this case a
dedicated window appears in order to let the user name the new file.

Save as: used to save in the device memory the current curves setting. The previously saved file
will be overwritten with a new name. In the event that no files have been saved before, a new
file will be created.

Read file: used to reload the last saved file.

Export: used to download pre-correction files on the user PC. A browser window allows the
selection of the saving path.





AM/AM and AM/PM curves are specific for each power range of each output channel.
The two curves are used to calculate the AM/PM pre-correction coefficients. The curves are drawn by
the interpolation of 1024 points referring to the points inserted and using a linear or polynomial
interpolation algorithm.
Knob points can be added with a left-click of the mouse on the grid and deleted with a right-click, drag

During saving actions one linear pre-correction file is created, the *.dpre file, which contains the digital
coefficients for linear pre-correction filter.
The following buttons allow the management of non linear pre-correction files and the management of
the connection to port 5000:

Save: used to save in the device memory the current curves setting. The previously saved file
will be overwritten except in the event that no files have been saved before; in this case a
dedicated window appears in order to let the user name the new file.



Read file: used to reload the last saved file.

Export: used to download pre-correction files on the user PC. A browser window allows the
selection of the saving path.

Release: releases the connection in order to allow others remote machines to connect to port
5000 (refer to Connection to port 5000 paragraph).
5.8.3 Port 5000 connection
The connection to port 5000 is performed every time a pre-correction tool is opened through Mod. Pha.
and AM/PM buttons, from Java interface. The pre-correction tool opens and keeps busy the connection
to port 5000 till the connection releasing.
The connection to this port precludes the possibility of:

programming the device;

allowing more than one user, the very same one that is keeping busy the connection, to open
the pre-correction tools,

saving the parameters of the Option sub-menu.
The Release button comes through these limits. It closes the connection to port 5000, close the Mod.
Pha. / AM/PM window and opens the General window. Once clicked the Release buttons and before
quitting the pre-correction tool, three options are provided:

Continue: continue without saving;

Save and Release: save, continue and release the connection;

Cancel: cancel the request of releasing the connection.

5.9.1.1 Adaptive Filter
The Adaptive Filter provides the ARK6 with an effective adaptive linear compensation.
The developed system is responsible for pre-emptively compensating a DVB-T/T2 signal in order to make
unimportant the contribution of the system transmission section. The signal passes through the
transmission section and re-enters the system as to determine the distortion and the compensating
adaptive filter.
The system is composed of two main blocks: a Power Calculation block and a 128-tap Complex FIR. The
modulated signal, with IQ format and sampled at c frequency, enters both blocks:
Power Calculation block is responsible for estimating the mean power level that will be restored at both
transmitting and receiving sides;
128-tap Complex FIR is responsible for linearly pre-correcting the modulated signal. Filter coefficients
are obtained by estimating the channel between the signal before the transmission section and the
signal reentering the system, after the channel distortion and the A/D conversion.

5.9.2 Adaptive Non-Linear Precorrection
The Non Linear Adaptive Filter provides the ARK6-T2 with an effective adaptive non linear
compensation.
The developed system is responsible for pre-emptively compensating the signal in order to make
unimportant the contribution of the intermodulation products due to the power amplifiers.
The signal passes through the power amplifiers and re-enters the system as to determine the distortion
and the compensating adaptive filter.
In order to enable the adaptive non linear precorrection, click on the ON/OFF button.

5.10.1 Reflex Power Management
The ARK6 is provided with a reflex power control logic that prevents the amplifier stage from being
permanently damaged.
Figure 37.
Reflex Pwr Management
If the output reflex power goes over its alarm threshold, the amplifier stage is automatically shut down
and the system reacts to this situation on the basis of the user selectable “Number of attempts”.
In the case that the user sets a “Number of attempts” equal to zero, the red “RFL Power High” LED is
turned on, the “Status” indicator shows “Alarm” and the amplifier stage is shut down by a “Reflex Pwr
High Alarm”.
In the case that the user sets N as “Number of attempts”, where N is different from zero, a self test is
conducted to determine if the system can be successfully restored. The red “RFL Power High” LED is
turned on, the “Status” indicator shows “Warning” and the amplifier stage is restarted N times. The
delay between two consecutive attempts is fixed to 10 seconds. At every RF ON/OFF the “Ampli status”
indicator will show “Reflex Pwr High Retry”. When the maximum number of attempts is reached, the
“Status” indicator shows “Alarm” and the amplifier stage is shut down by a “Reflex Pwr High Alarm”.
When the “Reflex Pwr High Alarm” is on the amplifier stage is permanently shut down. Once the
operator has carried out the necessary checks, the amplifier shall be manually reset through the button
“Reset”.
If the RFL power control mechanism is in warning state and the RFL power level doesn’t go over the
alarm threshold for 30 minutes, the amplifier stage is automatically reset.
The events associated to the reflex power control logic are the following:

“RFL Power Warning”: the reflex power level is higher than the specification and the “Number
of attempts” is different from zero.

“RFL Power OK”: RFL power goes under the alarm threshold.

“RFL Power Alarm”: RFL power goes over the alarm threshold for N times, where N is the
number of attempts specified in the Output page of the Java GUI.

“RFL RF OFF”: The output RF has been switched off because of either a RFL Power Warning (for
every attempt to restore the system) or a RFL Power Alarm.

“RFL RF ON ”N”: The output RF has been switched on after attempt number “N”.

5.12.1 Holdover Management
The ARK6 includes a holdover function provided by a higher grade Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator.
Figure 40.
Holdover Management
The ARK6 is equipped with an internal OCXO for improved phase noise and stability. The system is
provided with internal 10MHz and 1PPS signals which are disciplined to the GPS time signal or to the
10MHz and 1PPS external references. The stability of internal frequency and phase is assured by the
highly stable OCXO. If the satellites signal, from the GPS receiver, or the external reference sources are
completely lost, the Holdover mode enables the unit to keep working with internal 10MHz and 1PPS for
the duration of the Holdover Timeout, with very low drift over time. If the timeout period elapses prior
to regain the lock of the selected clock reference source and the Holdover function is enabled, the alarm
“Holdover” is raised.
Depending on the conditions, the Holdover function can work in one of the following state:
1.

Alarms window
The Alarms window allows the setting of alarm masks and the monitoring of alarms status. Use alarm
masks to select how and which alarm have to be notified.
Masks are organized in columns. The twelve columns represent twelve destinations of each alarm
notification:

GUI: the selected alarms status is notified on the Java alarm page icon.

LCD: the selected alarms status is notified on LCD display lighting the alarm button and listing
the alarms in the Alarms menu.

Event: the selected alarms status generate an alarm event that will be logged in the event
memory (refer to Events paragraph).

RELAY0…3: the selected alarms switch on the corresponding relay.

T1…T3: the selected alarms generate the corresponding trap messages (refer to Network
paragraph to set destination IP addresses).

RF: the selected alarms switch off the output RF signal. The RF mask is almost entirely fixed in
order to avoid device damages or malfunctioning.

SWITCH: the selected alarms trigger the automatic input switching, if enabled.
In the Alarms window, when an alarm condition occurs, the relative alarm is red highlighted. The Total
check boxes enable all alarms-to-masks associations.

Notes to the table:
(1)
0/1 stands for disabled/enabled and is fixed, X stands for not fixed.
(2)
C stands for Common alarm. T2/T/ATSC/ITU/ISDB-T specifies the mode the alarm belongs to. Alarms are divided in two different classes: common
alarms and mode-specific alarms.
Common alarms are those which are HW dependant or are dependent on how the operating system has been designed. Common alarms are
shared by all the operational modes.
Mode-specific alarms are those which depend on the implemented functionalities and standards. Mode-specific alarms can be easily recognized
thanks to the addition of the mode prefix enclosed in squared brackets.

The upper part of the event window shows the actual time and date and allows the manual setting of
those parameters.

Time and date setting
Click to each part of the date and time to change the parameter and then increase or decrease its value
with the up/down arrows.
Note: When the onboard GPS receiver is locked and GPS frequency reference is enabled, the date and
time information are received by GPS satellite and updated every thirty seconds.
The board incorporates a rechargeable battery to maintain the time when there isn’t a power supply.
The battery supplies the clock for two or three days, after that the time shall be reset either by char
interface, or LCD display, or Java interface or selecting the GPS as frequency reference.
5.14.2 Task Error Event
The watchdog performs a periodic (every 20 seconds) polling of tasks and triggers a system reset if one
or more tasks do not answer, restarting the Code loader (See Codeloader_Operations_Note_v1.1.doc for
further information) and generating a TSK ERR event as follows:
TSK ERR 00000028, 0000003c
The blue underlined 32-bits word is the enabling status of the alarms mask. The red underlined 32-bits
word indicates the status of tasks (1 if the task has been successfully performed, otherwise 0) as

7 SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol
The SNMP model assumes the existence of managers and agents. A manager is a software module in a
management system responsible for managing the device. An agent is a software module in a managed
device responsible for maintaining local management information and delivering that information to a
manager via SNMP. A management information exchange can be initiated by the manager (via polling)
or by the agent (via trap).
Interaction between a user of board management and the board management software takes place
across a user interface. Such an interface is needed to provide users with a monitoring and controlling
tool in order to allow some parameters to be viewed or set locally.
The operations that are supported in SNMP network management are the alteration and inspection of
variables. Specifically, three general-purpose operations may be performed on scalar objects:

Get: a management station retrieves a scalar object value from a managed station.

Set: a management station updates a scalar object value in a managed station.

Trap: a managed station sends an unsolicited scalar object value to a management station.
Management information accessible via SNMP is maintained in a management information base (MIB) at
each manager and agent node.
On manager side, ARK6 management system has been tested with MG-SOFT as MIB Browser; besides
compatibility with any other MIB browser is assured.
The following MIB libraries are required for the SNMP management of the equipment:
 screenservice.mib
 network.mib
 ark6-atsc.mib2
 screen-common-types.mib
 output.mib
 ark6-isdbt.mib2
 ark6-t2.mib
 screen-common.mib
 ark6-itu.mib2
 clk-ref.mib
 t2-fe.mib
 ark6-t.mib2
 clock.mib
 t2-meas.mib
 atsc-fe.mib2
 gps.mib
 t2-modulation.mib
 atsc-meas.mib2
 hw-monitor.mib
 ts-over-ip.mib
 atsc-modulation.mib2
 input.mib
 itu-modulation.mib2
 isdbt-fe.mib2
 measure.mib
 t-fe.mib2
 isdbt-meas.mib2
 s2-fe.mib2
 t-meas.mib2
 isdbt-modulation.mib2
 ark6.mib
 t-modulation.mib2
Compatibility tested and assured with SNMP version 1 and 2.

7.2 Monitoring
All status and setup information can be queried via SNMP. To get the setup and status information you
need a management system (or a special MIB browser).

on/off depending on the status of this entry.
alFrontPanelEnable object enables the alarm to be notified on LCD display lighting the alarm button and listing
the alarms in the Alarms menu.
alJavaEnable enables the alarm to be notified on the Java alarm page icon.
alEventEnable enables the alarm to be notified through an event.
alRfOffEnable enables the entry to switch off the RF output.
alAutoSwitchEnable enables the entry to trigger the automatic input switching.
Alarms are divided in two different classes: common alarms and mode-specific alarms. Common alarms are
those which are HW dependant or are dependent on how the operating system has been designed. Common
alarms are shared by all the operational modes. Mode-specific alarms are those which depend on the
implemented functionalities and standards. Mode-specific alarms can be easily recognized thanks to the
addition of the mode prefix enclosed in squared brackets.
The alarms table lists both common and mode-specific alarms. Indexes of alarms may change from one
operational mode to another, but alarm codes do not. Alarm codes of common alarms are the same whatever
the working mode. Alarm codes of mode-specific alarms uniquely identify the specific alarm and are not shared
by operational modes.

7.5.3 Configuring traps
Use Java (refer to Network and Alarms paragraphs for further information) or SNMP user interfaces to configure
traps.
The configuration of traps is performed through the setting of three different alarm masks, by means of
alTrapManager1, alTrapManager2, alTrapManager3 objects in the alTable (refer to Alarms Table paragraph),
and through the setting of the destination IP Address of the receiving management stations, by means of the
managerTrapTable in the snmp subtree in ssbtCommon MIB.
managerTrapNumber object specifies the total number of entries in the trap manager address table.
Each entry of the managerTrapTable is defined as follows:
ManagerTrapEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
managerTrapIndex INTEGER,
managerTrapIp IpAddress
managerTrapIndex is the SNMP manager index.
managerTrapIp object allows the setting of the SNMP manager IP listening address. There are up to 3 different
manager IP addresses that can be configured, one for each alTrapManager mask.
The Community shown in trap messages can be set from Java interface in the Community box within the
Network window (refer to Network paragraph).

A.1
Automatic input source selection methods
Input Autoswitch
The SDT ARK62 series supports an automatic switching control mechanism between incoming signal sources.
The ARK6 is capable of switching between inputs on the basis of primary feed quality, depending on how it is
presented to the transmitter (RF, ASI – Ethernet, SDI and CVBS feeds). The feed switching algorithm is
irrespective of payload and bitrate of both primary and reserve feeds.
The primary input is selected from the drop-down list of Input Selector. It is not allowed to dynamically change
the preferred input until the Input Autoswitch is enabled. Secondary inputs are checked in circular order,
starting from the one that follows the primary input. The numerical order is:
DVB-T - T2 - ISDB-T - ATSC
ITU
1.
ASI 1
1.
SDI 1
2.
ASI 2
2.
SDI 2
3.
ASI 3
3.
SDI 3
4.
ASI 4
4.
SDI 4
5.
Tuner 1/Tuner (if available)
5.
CVBS 1
6.
Tuner 2 (if available)
6.
CVBS 2
7.
GbE 2 ch1
8.
GbE 2 ch2
E.g. In DVB-T2 mode, if Tuner is set to priority the algorithm for selecting secondary inputs starts with GbE 2
Ethernet channels and then works down all other ASI inputs starting from ASI 1.
If the reserve feed, the one being used, does not meet anymore the necessary quality requirements, the
secondary to secondary input switch mechanism will start from the input that follows the primary input.
Version 1.1
SDT_ARK6_User_Manual_ENG_vATSC
Page 193 of 206
ISO 9001:2000 Cert. N°4500/1
Input switching rules can be selected in the Alarms page through the SWITCH alarm mask and depend on the
transmission standard. Here below the available rules for each operative mode:
ITU
[ITU] No Video Input
[ITU] Input wrong standard
ATSC
[ATSC] No Input: input Transport Stream not locked
[ATSC] Input Overflow: input TS overflow
[ATSC] MH Err
[ATSC] FE Demodulator Not Locked: input RF signal not locked
[ATSC] FE SNR Low: RF input SNR under the alarm threshold
[ATSC] No TVCT: TVCT table not present in the selected input stream

Feed selection and switching criteria are available via both transmitter SNMP and Java GUI interfaces.
A Finite State Machine has been used to give a description of the behaviour of the system. The FSM of the Input
Autoswitch algorithm consists of:

Four states:
1.
Priority Input Locked

2.
3.
4.
Priority Input Not Locked

Condition 1: the primary feed does not meet the necessary quality requirements as
well as reserve feeds, if any.

Condition 2: the primary feed does not meet the necessary quality requirements and
the FSM is waiting for the primary to secondary feed changeover timeout to elapse.
Searching First Locked Input

Condition 1: the primary to secondary feed changeover timeout elapsed and the FSM
is searching for a reserve feed.

Condition 2: the reserve feed, the one being used, does not meet anymore the
necessary quality requirements, the secondary to secondary input switch timeout
elapsed and FSM is searching for another reserve feed.
Checking Priority Input


Condition: the primary feed is the one being used.
Condition: the reserve input is the one being used and FSM keeps checking the priority
feed to trigger the secondary to primary changeover.
Three countdowns to N seconds, where N is defined by default in the *.def file:
1.
Primary to Secondary Switch Counter

2.
Secondary to Secondary Switch Counter

3.
It starts when the primary feed does not meet anymore the necessary quality
requirements and the system lay in waiting for the reserve feed to be checked.
It starts when the secondary feed does not meet anymore the necessary quality
requirements and the system lay in waiting for another reserve feed to be checked.
Secondary to Primary Switch Counter

It starts when the input set to priority is found to meet again the necessary quality
requirements and the system is waiting to switch back to the primary input.
Timeouts are reset when the actually used input, whether it is the preferred one or not, regain his quality
requirements.

Seamless input switching
SDT ARK6 series supports a seamless input switching algorithm that increases the reliability of the system in a
SFN environment. The developed algorithm is capable of changing input signal source on the basis of MIP
packets within the incoming Transport Stream. The algorithm provides a reserve feed to the apparatus in a SFN
environment in the event that the primary input signal source does not meet anymore the SFN constrains. The
device is designed to manage the redundancy between two different sources in a SFN environment by seamless
switching between them
Both HP and LP streams have two different selected inputs. The two selected input are real-time analyzed under
some presence and validity rules. The inputs that are present and valid are eligible to be sent to output in
dependence on the priority rule set. If only one input is present, then is sent to output without the application of
any validity rule.
The presence of an input is evaluated under the following rules:


The input is an ASI compliant (CEI EN 80083-9) encoded signal.
The input transports an MPEG-2 TS (ITU.T 13818-1) with no Synchronization Error (as defined by ETSI
ETR 290).
The validity of an input is evaluated under the following rules:







The Transport Error flag (as defined by ITU.T 13818-1) does not rise in any packet.
The timing of reception of each input packet is inside the standard boundaries (as defined by ETSI ETR
290).
The SFN adaptation of the input TS is guaranteed by the presence of a correct MIP (as defined by ETSI
TR 101 191), guaranteed by a CRC32 algorithm checking.
The TS data validity is guaranteed by the presence of PAT (as defined by ETSI EN 300 468) correct after a
CRC32 algorithm checking.
The TS data validity is guaranteed by the presence of PMT (as defined by ETSI EN 300 468) correct after
a CRC32 algorithm checking.
The total delay applied by the distribution network to the input signal is not higher than the Max Delay
set by the SFN adapter.
The time window available to deliver the TS to the output is higher than the network margin applied.
When the used input check fails, the device seamlessly switches to the secondary input if present and valid,
otherwise it continue to output the same flow despite of the validity rules check.

Java Virtual Machine
The Java interface requires a host computer connected via Ethernet to the board with the proper Java Machine
version installed.
Ethernet connection
B.1
The host computer has to be connected via Ethernet to the board.
Direct or crossed UTP category 6 cable is recommended.
NOTE: for best performances, a fast connection (i.e. gigabit Ethernet) is required. After careful testing it was
found that a slow connection makes it difficult the use of precorrection tools.
B.1.1
Configuration
In order to connect to the board trough a LAN, all the devices have to be on the same network.
The default IP address settings of the X-port are:
IP address: 10.77.xx.xx , where xx is the host address unique for each board.
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0.
Remember to change these settings if they are not compatible with the LAN where the computer and the board
are connected.
IP address and network parameters can be changed only using the local interface. Please refer to chapter 6 for
the network setting commands.
B.2
Java(TM) Platform
B.2.1
Download
The Java Interface works with any Sun Java Virtual Machine after the 1.4.1 version.
If the computer has no Java Virtual Machine installed, the recommended 1.5.0 version can be downloaded from
the Sun Server trough this link:
http://www.java.com/
B.2.2
Java Control Panel
Java caching must be disabled.
B.3
Supported Web Browsers
The Java GUI is designed to support every Web Browser that uses Sun Java Virtual Machine from 1.4.1 and
newer.
Here’s a list of Web Browsers where Java GUI has been tested and troubleshot: Microsoft Internet Explorer,
version 5 and newer. Mozilla Firefox, version 1.5 and newer.
