the
tps
module
works
After decoding the satellite signals, the demodulated data streams can be
accessed via the integrated TPS module. These data streams, also called trans-
port streams, contain several stations with all their components (video, audio,
data and service information), which can be changed using the TPS module.

Individual stations can be deleted. This reduces the data rate and, conse-
quently, the output data rate.

and
orgnet-id
The transport stream ID can be changed. If the stations of a transponder are
split into the transport streams of different channel strips, a new identification
must be allocated to the "new" transport streams to realise the channel search
of the settop boxes connected without mistakes.
If the ORGNET-ID is changed a new NIT must be generated.

the
nit
The transport stream contains data in the form of tables which the receivers
evaluate and require for convenient use. The TPS module can adjust the "Net-
work Information Table" (NIT) to accommodate the new stations output data
(incl. LCN). The "NIT" contains data which is required by the set-top boxes
connected to the cable network for the automatic search feature.

nstallation
– Ensure the head-end station is mounted so it will not be able to vibrate.
Avoid, for example, mounting the head-end station onto a lift shaft or any
other wall or floor construction that vibrates in a similar way.
– Before installing or changing a module, switch off the head-end station or
unplug the power cable from the mains power socket.
– Take measures to protect against ESD!
• Open the housing of the head-end station in accordance with the assembly
instructions for the STC 160.
