1. Safety and operating instructions

 

When assembling, starting-up and adjusting the devices, it is necessary to consider the system specific references in

 

the instruction manual.

 

The devices may only be installed and started up by authorized technical personnel. 

 

When assembling the devices into the receiving points, the adherence of the EMC regulations is to be ensured.

 

The assembly and wiring have to be done without voltage.

 

With all work the defaults of the DIN EN 50083 have to be considered. It is especially important to follow 

 

DIN EN 60728-11[2].

 

If installed in mounting cabinets a adequate heat circulation must be guaranteed. The mounting in closed cabinets without   

 

air sufficient flow is 

not allowed

.

 

The devices come under protection classification I. It is absolutely necessary, therefore, to insert the mains plug into a

 

socket with protective contact.

3. General

The 8 pole IP-/ ASI-TV Modulator A-PALIOS-IPM4 is a device of the head end system A-LINE, which is conceived as a complete 
system for big and middle sized networks.
The A-PALIOS-IPM4 selects 8 programs from up to 8 adjacent IP transport streams or from an ASI transport stream and con-
verts these into analogue TV signals to transmit it in cable networks. In this case, a maximum of 8 analogue television channels are 
generated from the available H.264/ AVC or MPEG2 transport streams.

4. Main features

• 8x IP SPTS/ MPTS input
• IP streaming via RJ45 or SFP with redundancy
• 1x ASI input
• MPEG 2/4 HD/ SD decoding
• multi-standard PAL modulator
• IEdge signal processing
• switchable RF output as single or with loop
• control of the module via HTML or SNMP 

5. Functional description

The device receives a data stream via Gigabit Ethernet and can receive 8 transport streams from the included IP encapsulated trans-
port streams. The 8 transport streams are further processed in 8 H.264/ AVC & MPEG2 decoders. The analogue TV modulation and 
the freely adjustable up-conversion in the cable network range (45 ... 862 MHz) is carried out by a high-performance FPGA.
The eightfold modulator is adjacent channel compatible. A highly-clocked digital to analogue converter (DAC) is responsible for the
spectrally pure output of the cable signal. After amplification and sum level adjustment, the cable signal is coupled through a directio-
nal coupler to the output jacks.
