2. THE SETTING SCREENS
2.1 - The Input Signal Parameters Screen
This screen appears when you select the
Input
option in the
Settings
menu. It has
two pages, through which the different parameters and selection options are displayed
(the scroll arrows
▲
and
▼
at the lower line warn that you are in a page). Remember
that the change of page is accomplished by the keys
↑
or
↓
.
When you select the option the first page appears :
1
Sys: B/G
2
Ch: 48
→
687.25MHz
DONE

●
"Input Frequency" : Is the video carrier, in MHz, of the input channel of the
processor —if the channel is digital, is the central frequency. You can enter the
figure whether directly (see paragraph 1.3 on page 9 of the Basic Handling
guide) or using the "Ch" option.
The selection step is 0.125 MHz.
●
"Ch" : This option is only applicable if the channel is analog. When choosing it,
the Channel Selection screen appears. This screen allows to make the frequency
selection in a secure way through two pick lists: "TV System" and "TV Channel".

Use the DONE command (key ) to validate the selection, or the CANCEL
command to not validate. The screen closes and the above first page appears
again (it will show the new value of Input Frequency, if this has been changed).
●
"Signal Type" : You must indicate here the type of input channel: analog or digital.
Open the pick list by using the
SEL
command. A list with the Analog and Digital
options appears. Place the slide on the appropriate option and press .
2.2 - The Output Signal Parameters Screen
This screen appears when you select the
Output
option in the
Settings
menu. Here
you can do the following selections and adjustments:
1
Out.Freq. :
471.250

●
"Output Frequency" : Is the video carrier, in MHz, of the output channel of the
processor —if the channel is digital

, is the central frequency. The selection step
is 0.125 MHz.
●
"Ch" : It is applicable what said for the input frequency.
●
"Attenuation" : Is the attenuation for the channel output level. Setting is carried out
in real time through a slide icon. To state the setting value of the level you must
use a level meter.

In order to avoid tuning problems in the Set Top Box (STB) of the subscribers, when
the TPC module is used as digital channel converter the output channel should be
lower than the input channel.
3. THE INFORMATION SCREENS
They provide information about working of the connected processor. Information is
distributed in two screens which are related to the two options of the
Info
menu:
Alarms
and
Details
.
3.1 - The Alarms Screen
Informs about the existence of failures in the internal components of the module or
bad processing of the signal. Character "X" warns there is an alarm situation and "0"
means the status or working are correct:
ALARMS
Status
: 0
Hardware:
: X
OK
Use the OK command (key ) to close the screen.
3.2 - The Details Screen
This screen identifies the module and displays the firmware version :
Use the OK command (key ) to close the screen.

4. THE DIVERS SCREENS
It is one screen that befit an operation that has already described in the Basic
Handling guide : Use of Configurations.
4.1 - The Configurations Screen
On pages 12/13 of the Basic Handling guide was defined what is a module
configuration, were indicated the advantages of its use and were described the
processes of creation and utilization through the screens that appear when you
select the
Save
and
Recall
commands in the
General
menu. Therefore it is not to
add more information.
Press key
↓
to go to the second page of the
Input Signal Parameters
screen. Here
you can do the following selections:
4
Ch. Width : 8 MHz
5
AGC :
ON
SEND
SEL
●
"Input Level" : This option appears only if in the previous AGC option you selected
OFF (because the input channel is L system's). It is used to adjust the gain of the
processor's input circiuit in order to get an 80 dB
µ
V level at the output of the
processor. The setting is carried out in real time through a slide icon: when you
move the slide with the keys
←
y
→ ,
the output level of the peocessor changes
at the same time. A level meter must be connected at the loop output port (the
loop input port being terminated with 75 ohm). Prior to the adjustment you must
check that the output attenuation of the processor is set to minimum; for this, go to
the third line of the
Output Signal Parameters
screen, see next page, and slide the
arrow up to the right end of the icon.
●
"Channel Width" : Is the width of the input channel. Use the SEL command to
open a pick list with the 7 MHz and 8 MHz options. Place the slide on the
appropriate option and press .
●
"AGC" : Here you must indicate whether the automatic gain control (AGC) must
be operative or not. Use the SEL command to open a pick list with the ON and
OFF options. Place the slide on the desired option and press . As general rule,
the OFF option (nonoperative AGC) must only be selected for System L channels.
For channels of the rest of analog TV systems (B/G, D/K, I) and for digital
channels (DVB-T and DVB-C standards), you must select the ON option (AGC
being operative).
