Introduction

1.3.2

Input Connections
The Satellite Receiver interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and
accepts an intermediate frequency (IF) input in the band 950 - 2150 MHz
(L-band) for operation in the specified symbol-rate range (see
Annex B, Technical Specification). The unit can provide dc power and
polarisation switching to the LNB.

1.3.3

What the Satellite Receiver Does
The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and
polarisation. The input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to
provide an L-band input to the Receiver. The front-end tuning is
microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesised local oscillator. A
software tuning and acquisition algorithm resolves translation errors
(mainly due to the LNB).
The signal is then passed to a demodulator that recovers the signal using
soft-decision decoding. The resulting stream is Reed-Solomon decoded and
descrambled to provide inputs to the Decoder circuit. The received channel
may contain multiple services, therefore the Receiver’s demultiplexer is
configured to select a single video service and other audio/data
components and present them at the output.

Over-air Software Download
(TANDBERG Director Systems)
The TT1260 Satellite Receiver is shipped with the appropriate software
installed, but it is designed to allow replacement of this code by new
versions of software transmitted over-air. The new code is downloaded as
a background task in the same transport stream as used for the normal
transmission of services.
Figure 1.5 shows the system required for this function. The existing
software continues to function during the download process. Once all the
new code has been received, installed and validated, it is loaded into the
active memory and becomes the operating software for the Receiver.

1.4.2

Input Connections
The Decoder has the following inputs:
Two ASI copper interfaces for operation up to 160 Mbit/s for 188 byte
packets and 160 Mbit/s for 204 byte packets.

1.4.3

What the Decoder Does
The ASI interfaces are used to present the transport stream in the format
required by the internal Decoder circuitry. At this point, the operation of
the unit is the same as the Satellite Receiver.
The Decoder can be used to receive an input signal from a Public Telecom
Network via a Network Adapter Unit (NAU). No error correction is
supported at the input of the unit so a level of Quality of Service should be
negotiated with the Telecom Network Provider.
The Decoder is configured to select a single video service and other
audio/data components from the multiple services on the incoming
transport stream and present them at the output.

connector at the rear panel, it must be set to run at 9600 baud.

1.5.4

TANDBERG Director NCP Control Mode
With the VideoGuard Conditional Access software installed and a valid
Smart Card inserted, a TT1260 Satellite Receiver can be put into Director
NCP control mode.
NOTE…
Front Panel mode is the factory default for Receivers used in a TANDBERG Director system. To switch
to Director NCP mode refer to Section 3.8, Setting Up a System.

All Front Panel and Serial Remote commands are ignored except the
operating mode. The TT1260 can be put into a local lockout condition.
When in this condition, there are two ways to recover control:

·
·

Cancelling the local lockout using an over-air command.
Entering a PIN number via the Conditional Access menu in
Menu #4.3.6 (see Section C.7.3, Director Menu).

Either of these actions will put the Receiver out of local lockout mode.

Front Panel LEDs
Figure 1.9 shows the location of the LEDs on the front panel. The LEDs
indicate the equipment status as follows:
The red ALARM LED is used to indicate an IRD fault condition, e.g. a
missing or faulty input signal. It should be off for correct operation,
although it may be lit briefly during power-up.
The green LOCK LED is used to indicate that the IRD is locked to a
transport stream when lit, and indicates correct conditions and correct
system functioning.

1.6.4

Bit Error Ratio Measurement
Bit Error Ratio (BER) measurement is done by an LCD display
representation. See the QPSK Satellite menu (Section C.5, Input Status

Introduction

1.6.5

Conditional Access and Scrambling Options
VideoGuard Director
There is a slot on the rear panel to allow the insertion of a Conditional
Access (CA) card for the VideoGuard Director CA system.

Remote Authorisation System (RAS 1)
With the appropriate configuration, the TT1260 fully descrambles Remote
Authorisation System (RAS) input transport stream. The ability to decrypt
all the components in any other transport stream is a function of the
specific CA system decryption.

Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS)
With the appropriate configuration, the TT1260 fully descrambles the BISS
mode-1 or mode-E input transport stream. This system has been
developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as an open
scrambling system.
BISS has five main levels of operation: Mode 0, Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3
and Mode-E
BISS Mode 0 corresponds to no scrambling.
BISS Mode 1 operation uses a fixed value for the control word to
scramble the services in the transport stream from the Encoder. To
descramble the transmission, the TT1260 needs to have the matching
control word value.
BISS Mode E operation uses a fixed value for the control word to
scramble the services in the transport stream from the Encoder. To
descramble the transmission, the TT1260 needs to have the matching
control word value.
BISS Modes 2 and 3 are not supported at this release.

1.6.6

Rear Panel
Inputs and outputs to the unit are taken via the rear panel. Figure 1.10
shows a typical Decoder rear panel.

Frame Synchronisation
A BNC socket is used by the Decoder to frame
lock to an external video source. The frame
information is input as a composite synchronise
signal, with or without active video. The user can
offset the synchronisation to the video output by
±8 lines, with a resolution of 1 pixel. Lip sync
error introduced by the Receiver is in the range –
10ms to +30ms. This implies audio frame skip
and repeat.

FRAME SYNC Hi-Z

The video and audio can be synchronised to an
analogue studio reference signal. This supports
both 625 and 525 frame locking.
This F Sync is activated through the Service menu
(#3). The specification for this connector is given
in Section B.4.4, Frame Sync Connector.

Introduction
Menu #4 allows the status and configuration of the Conditional Access
(CA) module to be checked. The structure and content of this group
depends on the CA system. The available CA options are as follows:

·
·

No Conditional Access

only.
Remote Authorisation System (RAS) and BISS
VideoGuard Director, RAS and BISS

The Transport Stream command may require altering to accommodate the
installed CA software.

Remote Authorisation System (RAS) (Menu #4.1)
RAS has two levels of operation: FIXED KEY MODE and DSNG KEY MODE.
FIXED KEY MODE has a fixed control word to encrypt the data in the
transport stream. Some control words are reserved for use in the
TANDBERG Television DSNG Encoder.
DSNG KEY MODE is used for fixed head-end systems. Its main functionality
is:

·

Over-air addressing of Receivers for authorisation/de-authorisation to
decrypt the transmission

·

Group operation for authorisation/de-authorisation.

The process for setting this up is as for the RAS CA.

Changing the VideoGuard Customer ID (Menu #4.3.2)
The unit must be re-powered with the appropriate Smart Card installed
after the Customer ID has been changed.

Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) (Menu #4.4)
BISS mode 1 is similar to RAS in that it uses a fixed control word to
encrypt the data in the transport stream. Unlike RAS, the scrambling
algorithm is non-proprietary, using the DVB Common Scrambling
Algorithm to allow interoperability with other manufacturers’
encoding/scrambling equipment.

Introduction
There are two Front Panel LEDs that indicate the status of the TT1260.
These are used to indicate abnormal performance of the unit.

4.2

Location of the Alarm and Indication LEDs
The red ALARM LED is used to indicate an equipment fault condition, for
example a missing or faulty input signal. It should be off during correct
operation, although it may be lit briefly during power-up.
The green LOCK LED is used to indicate that the equipment is locked to a
transport stream when lit, and indicates correct conditions and correct
system functioning.
Alarm LED

Figure 4.1: Front Panel LEDs

4.3

ALARM LED
The TT1260 supports a summary alarm signal that is active when one or
more of the individual monitored alarm conditions are active. It allows
masking of unwanted alarm conditions so that they do not contribute to
the summary alarm. Configuration of alarms is via the Front Panel and
remote control interfaces. The state of the summary alarm is reflected by
the ALARM LED on the front panel where red represents an alarm, and off
represents no alarm.
This LED provides a high-level indication of an alarm within the unit. The
alarm list depends on the TT1260 model. The unit continuously monitors
for the following alarm conditions during normal operation: (if not masked
– see Menu #5, Annex C, Menus):

·
·
·
·

No transport stream
Video not running
Audio 1 not running
Audio 2 not running

It is possible to signal additional alarms depending on the transport stream
input type and optional functionality in the unit.

Relays
In addition to the one summary alarm, there is an Alarm Relay Card
(TT1260/HDC/ALRM) with additional six relays. The alarm relays are
programmable to reflect the state of one or more of the individual
monitored alarm conditions. As alarm conditions may be of very short
duration (i.e. less than the time required to activate a relay) the software
ensures that any alarm condition is signalled for a minimum of one second.
The relay electrical characteristics are as follows:
All relays are configured as Single Pole Change-over Relays, with all three
contacts per relay available at the output connector. The contacts of each
relay are fully isolated from each other, and from chassis ground.
All relays are energised in the non-alarm condition, such that an alarm is
indicated upon power failure. If power returns to the unit, the alarms
should not re-energise until system boot is complete, and the alarm
condition of the various components has successfully been cleared.
See Section C.8, Alarms Menu (#5) for a complete summary of alarm
status information.
NOTE…
The Alarm Relay Card (TT1260/HDC/ALRM) is a standard component in the TT1260/DIRBAS base
unit.

High Speed RS-422 Data Enabler Card
(TT1260/HWO/HSDATA)

5.5.1

General
The High Speed RS-422 Data Enabler Card provides RS-422 data output
when there are PIDs carrying high speed data in the incoming transport
stream.
High-speed data (synchronous data) can be carried in a transport stream
as private data. This is then extracted from the transport stream and
output from the IRD via the RS-422 interface. Data-rates in integer
multiples of 56 kbit/s and 64 kbit/s up to 2.048 Mbit/s (subject to the
number and type of services in the multiplex) are output on a 9-pin
D-type connector.
NOTE…
When the High Speed RS-422 Data Enabler Card (S12595) is detected on power-up the unit will
recover high-speed data. If not installed the unit will recover low-speed asynchronous data. The
TT1260 can recover either low speed (RS-232) data or high speed (RS-422) data but not both
simultaneously. For technical specifications see Section B.5.3, Data Outputs.

Glossary

B3ZS

Bipolar with Three Zero Substitution: A method of eliminating long zero strings in a transmission. It is used to
ensure a sufficient number of transitions to maintain system synchronisation when the user data stream contains
an insufficient number of 1s to do so. B3ZS is the North American equivalent of the European HDB3.

Backward Compatibility

Refers to hardware or software that is compatible with earlier versions.

BAT

possible states. Equivalent to bit-rate when the symbols only have two states (1 and 0). Measured in Baud.

BER

Bit Error Rate: A measure of transmission quality. The rate at which errors occur in the transmission of data bits
over a link. It is generally shown as a negative exponent, (e.g. 10-7 means that 1 in 10,000,000 bits are in error).

BISS

Buffer

A memory store used to provide a consistent rate of data flow.

BW

Bandwidth: The transmission capacity of an electronic line such as (among others) a communications network,
computer bus, or broadcast link. It is expressed in bits per second, bytes per second or in Hertz (cycles per
second). When expressed in Hertz, the frequency may be a greater number than the actual bits per second,
because the bandwidth is the difference between the lowest and highest frequencies transmitted. High bandwidth
allows fast transmission or high-volume transmission.

Byte-mode

Each byte is delivered separately in the ASI Transport Stream, with stuffing data added between the Bytes to
increase the data rate to 270 Mbit/s. See DVB Document A010 rev. 1, Section B3.3, (ASI) Layer-2 Transport
Protocol.

compliance if CA is in use.

C-Band

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which spans the frequency range of approximately 4 GHz to 6 GHz.
Used by communications satellites. Preferred in tropical climates because it is not susceptible to fading.

CCIR

See: ITU-R.

CCITT

See: ITU-T.

Channel

A narrow range of frequencies, part of a frequency band, for the transmission of radio and television signals
without interference from other channels.
In the case of OFDM, a large number of carriers spaced apart at precise frequencies are allocated to a channel.

Channel Coding

A way of encoding data in a communications channel that adds patterns of redundancy into the transmission path
in order to improve the error rate. Such methods are widely used in wireless communications.

Chrominance

The colour part of a TV picture signal, relating to the hue and saturation but not to the luminance (brightness) of
the signal. In a composite-coded colour system, the colour information (chrominance, often referred to as

(RS) coding followed by convolutional coding to add extra bits to the transmitted signal. This allows a large number
of errors at the receive end to be corrected by convolutional (Viterbi) decoding followed by RS decoding.

Compression

Reduction in the number of bits used to represent the same information. For the purposes of a broadcast system,
it is the process of reducing digital picture information by discarding redundant portions of information that are not
required when reconstituting the picture to produce viewing clarity. Compression allows a higher bite-rate to be
transmitted through a given bandwidth.

Time Division Multiplex: One common, communications channel carrying a number of signals, each with its own
allotted time slot.

TDT

Time and Date Table: Part of the DVB Service Information. The TDT gives information relating to the present time
and date.

Temporal Redundancy

Information repetition due to areas of little or no movement between successive frames. Removed using motion
estimation and compensation (Inter-Frame Coding).

Time-stamp

A term that indicates the time of a specific action such as the arrival of a byte or the presentation of a presentation
unit.

TOT

Time Offset Table: This optional SI table supports the use of local offsets as well as the UTC time/date
combination.
The purpose of the table is to list by country the current offset from UTC and the next expected change to that
offset (to track when daylight saving occurs).
The offset resolution is to within 1 minute over a range of ±12 hours from UTC.

Transport Stream

A set of packetised elementary data streams and SI streams, which may comprise more than one programme, but
with common synchronisation and error protection. The data structure is defined in ISO/IEC 13818-1 [1] and is the
basis of the ETSI Digital Video Broadcasting standards.

Transport Stream Packet
Header

A data structure used to convey information about the transport stream payload.

B.2

Audio Decoding and Output Stage

B.2.1

General
The TT1260 is capable of simultaneously decoding two PES streams of
audio from the transport stream. Each of the Decoders is identical in
operation, but act completely independently of the other, with the
following exceptions:

·

Both Decoders must be decoding channels that have the same
sampling rate

·

Both Decoders are not required to simultaneously decode the same
PES stream

Each channel supports extraction of three types of coded audio from the
transport stream as follows:

·
·
·

MPEG-2 Audio (Musicam): ISO/IEC 13818-3

·

The Receiver does not support MPEG-2 AAC Audio (ISO/IEC 13818-7)
at this release.

Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio: ATSC document A/52
Linear Audio: SMPTE 302M – 2000 with system limitations as specified
in following section below

Audio component selection is specified from the User Interface or remote
interfaces. The TT1260 automatically detects the audio type of the selected
audio component and apply the appropriate decoding. Where there are
audio components in the selected service of the same language but
different coding types, the preferred component is linear audio, followed by
Dolby Digital AC-3, and followed by MPEG audio.
There is no requirement for specific selection behaviour where a service
contains two or more audio components of the same coding type and
language. The TT1260 is not required to support dynamic changes in the
audio coding type once the initial selection has been made. Provision is
made in the User Interface and remote interfaces for user override of
default audio selection by language and audio coding type, or by PID.
There is no support for static default languages.

Technical Specification

B.2.2

MPEG Audio
The TT1260 supports decoding of MPEG audio as follows:

·
·
·
B.2.3

Compression layers: MPEG-1 layers I and II
Sampling rates (kHz): 32, 44.1, 48
Maximum compressed data rate: 384 Kbit/s (layer II)

Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio
The TT1260 is able to decode and output the primary stereo pair of a
Dolby Digital AC-3 encoded audio stream. When there is data encoded on
the audio surround channels, the Decoder applies downmixing, so that
either a surround encoded stereo pair (LtRt downmix) or a conventional
stereo pair (LoRo downmix) is available at the output.
The TT1260 is not able to decode and output all 5.1 channels individually
as separate channels.
It is possible to output the compressed Dolby Digital stream from the
digital audio output, allowing it to be decoded to 5.1 channels by an
external Decoder.
Sampling rates (kHz): 32, 44.1, 48
Maximum compressed data rate: 640 Kbit/s
NOTE…
Support for Dolby Digital decoding requires approval and licensing from Dolby.

B.2.4

Linear Audio
The TT1260 is able to receive audio data in the form of linear PCM digital
audio data, up to 20-bits in resolution, and makes it available for output as
either analogue or digital audio.
A maximum of four audio channels can be decoded from one PES stream.

B.3

Audio Output Format

B.3.1

General
The TT1260 provides an independent stereo pair output for each audio
channel. Analogue audio is always output and the following Digital audio

Embedded Audio
Either or both of the stereo pairs selected for decoding by the Receiver can
be routed out via the SDI video output, as AES/EBU digital audio
embedded in the Ancillary Data Space, as defined in SMPTE 272M-1994.
The operational level of this standard supported is SMPTE 272M –A
(20-bit synchronous audio at sampling rates of 48kHz).

B.3.5

Audio Routing
The IRD supports the following routing of the stereo audio signal under
control of the User Interface and remote interfaces:

·
·

Normal stereo (left signal to left output, right signal to right output)
Left to both (left signal to left and right outputs)

·
B.3.6

Dual Mono
Where a dual mono service is available (i.e. stream 1 and stream 2 sharing
the same PID), it is possible to configure the output as follows:

·
·
·
B.3.7

Stream 1 on both left and right channels
Stream 2 on both left and right channels
Stream 1 on left channel, and stream 2 on right channel

Lip Sync
The audio at the output remains synchronous to the decoded video by
default (i.e. where both video and audio streams are available from the
same service). In such circumstances the video and audio streams share
the same PCR.
The lip sync error (delay from presentation of video until presentation of
audio) introduced by the Receiver is in the range of ±2ms.
The lip sync delay between stereo pair 1 and 2 is ±2ms because the PTS
will be generated independently for each pair.
When using frame sync the lip sync error is –10 to +30ms due to audio
frame skip and repeats.

The Decoder can frame lock to an external video source. The frame
information is input as a composite synchronous signal, with or without
active video. The user can offset the sync to the video output by ±8 lines,
with a resolution of one pixel.
Lip sync error introduced by the Receiver is in the range –10ms to +30ms.
This implies audio frame skip and repeat.
It is possible to connect multiple Receivers to the same reference signal.
This input requires an external 75 W termination.

C.1.2

Menu Descriptions
This annex describes the front panel LCD menus.
When the unit is first powered up, it progresses through a series of
start-up pages on the LCD display.
The menu is created in a tree structure, where each branch may contain
items, new branches, or both.
An item is viewed as an information string on the left side of the LCD, with
an editable or selectable item on the right side, or an information string.
A path to a new sub branch is viewed as an information string on the left
side of the LCD, where the string ends with a “>” character. The “>”
symbolises the arrow key you have to press, to enter the submenu.

C.2

Menu Pages - Main Menu
The main menu is a pure branching menu. No items are selectable in this

Using the TT1260 with the TANDBERG Director System

D.1

Configuring the TT1260 for Use With Director

D.1.1

Getting Started
You must have VideoGuard CA, a Director Smart Card and be tuned to a
Director stream.
CAUTION
Do not repeatedly insert and remove the Director Smart Card.

1. Insert the Director Smart Card before tuning to the service.
2. Check that the unit has VideoGuard installed (Menu #4.3).
3. Set the Receiver to DIRECTOR NCP mode (Menu #6.1).
4. Check that the unit is authorised for de-scrambling the selected service
(Menu #4 CA should read VIDEOGUARD ENCRYPTED.)
NOTES...

D.1.2

1.

The CA system is unrecognised if the service is shown as CLEAR (that is, unscrambled).

2.

In OVER-AIR mode, menu items can not be edited. The Receiver should be moved to LOCAL
control for editing.

Using the TT1260 in the Over-air Mode
This section describes the behaviour of the TT1260 when it is controlled
over-air using the Receiver Control part of the Director PC GUI.
It is assumed that the Receiver is entitled to receive Director commands.
Consult the Director Control PC GUI manual for more information.
The following commands are supported:

D.2

Response to Over-air Commands

D.2.1

General
This section describes the Receiver’s response to over-air commands.

D.2.2

Display On-screen Display (OSD) Messages
Displays a text string on the LCD front panel. The display is forced to
Menu #4.3, NCP MESSAGE. The message is displayed for a set time or
until cleared from the head-end.
NOTE...
The viewing Monitor does NOT display messages; all user interaction is via the front panel.

D.2.3

Store Carrier Data
Stores a particular service as a preset channel. Subsequently, the
head-end can force a service selection from this preset (see Section D.2.6,
Force Service Selection). Director presets are different to those set up in
LOCAL ONLY mode (see Menu #1 Presets). They are not visible to the user
on the front panel LCD.

D.2.4

Set Power-up Channel
Sets the Receiver power-up service. If the Emergency Channel has not
been set, it is set to this service. If neither the Emergency nor Power-up
Channel have been set, the TT1260 will be in an indeterminate state at
power-up.
NOTE...
This is different to the situation in LOCAL ONLY mode, which chooses the service it last received.

D.2.5

Force Carrier Retune
Forces the Receiver to retune to a different frequency and/or service. This
could be a service on a different feed (e.g. LNB input 2) or a service
previously set up using the Store Carrier Data command.
Timeouts allow the Receiver to revert to the original service after the time
has expired. If the command fails, the Emergency channel is used. Enter a
timeout of not less than 15 secs (except 0 to permanently switch to the
new service) to give the Receiver time to re-tune.
This command fails if the LNBs are not set up realistically (which may
happen if the source is changed).
Take care when retuning to services on different LNB inputs. Force Service
Selection is more efficient if the required service is on the same frequency
and LNB input.

Page D-4

Instruction Manual: TT1260 Standard Definition Professional Receiver/Decoder
ST.TM.E10100.1

Using the TT1260 with the TANDBERG Director System

D.2.6

Force Service Selection
Forces the Receiver to decode a different service or stored channel (which
may require a retune). The command is generally used to hop between
services. The Director system has to be informed of the frequency,
FEC-rate and symbol-rate for each stream. This is set-up using the
Multiplex Element Manager (MEM). (The Director User Interface and the
Director core require restarting to register changes that have been set in
the MEM.)

D.2.7

Set Emergency Channel
Sets the service to use in the event of a selection failure. Is activated after
a specified time has elapsed. If not set, the Power-up Channel is assumed.
Setting the Emergency Channel allows a failure situation to be recovered.

D.2.8

Set Relays
Switches the general-purpose relays. This command does not affect the
summary alarm relay.

D.2.9

Local Lockout
Locks out the LOCAL CONTROL mode but status information can still be
viewed. All Director commands are functional. The Receiver can be
unlocked locally using a PIN number or over-air using Allow Local Access.

D.2.10 Abort NCP Command
Aborts commands that have been sent but not executed. When a
command is received which has an expired execute time, it is acted on
immediately.

The non-ISO languages allow tagging of
audio without reference to specific
languages. The system can then
transmit two languages (Main and
Auxiliary) which could be any type of
audio.
NOTE…
The non-ISO languages need to be user defined in
the MEM or Mobile Contribution Encoder for them
to be available.

For language codes not supported by
the TT1260, the Receiver will list
undefined as the language descriptor.
This does not affect the way the audio
is selected.
