Page 1-6 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Introduction Role of the Voyager Lite Typical System Description The Voyager Lite is a portable unit, specifically designed for mobile contribution applications. It is compact, fully MPEG-2 and DVB-T compliant and has high performance for the transmission of studio-quality programme material. The equipment is designed to be suitable for full portable and mobile use on Outside Broadcast productions. Voyager Lite Tx Antenna Video Audio COFDM Encoder Up-converter and RF Amplifier Rx Antenna Radio RX Down-
converter Video Audio Demod and Decoder Figure 1.3: Typical System Configuration Local control of the Encoder is implemented through ten user-defined configurations (0 through 9) selectable from a switch on the front panel. Remote control is available via an RS-232 interface. The RF output frequency of the unit can be set within the range 2.1 to 2.5 GHz. The power output level can also be adjusted up to 200 mW. However, both RF output frequency and output level may be fixed and/or password protected dependent upon application specific regulatory requirements. CAUTION Certain broadcast applications and operational jurisdictions may restrict the output frequency and power levels that are allowed. In this instance the manufacturer usually sets these parameters. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-7 Introduction Encoder Features High quality video encoding is ensured by the inclusion of many proprietary algorithms as well as standard MPEG compression techniques. The Encoder uses hierarchical motion estimation. Video input to the unit is in either analogue composite video
(PAL B/D/G/H/I/M/N/N(Jamaica) or NTSC-M) or serial digital
(SDI). The audio function supports multiple sampling frequencies, bit-rates and coding modes. Audio can be input as balanced analogue via the left and right XLR connectors, digital (AES/EBU) via the left XLR connector or as SDI embedded audio. The encoded video and audio is multiplexed within the Encoder. The resulting multiplexed transport stream in DVB format is fed directly to the internal COFDM Modulator. Once COFDM coding has taken place, the signal is fed to the internal IF Modulator
(70 MHz IF Output) for conversion to 2.1 - 2.5 GHz RF output, ready for onward transmission using internal Up-converter and RF amplifier. COFDM Explanation DVB-T compliant, Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) is used to spread the transport stream data over 1705 carriers (2k mode). This means that relatively low data rates can be used on each carrier frequency, and any multipath effects (ghosting) which occur affects only a small amount of data. The carriers are closely spaced so that their sidebands overlap, but due to the orthogonal relationship between carrier frequencies they do not interfere with each other. This makes the system spectrally efficient. Noise, multipath effects, co-channel interference and other impairments can cause some bits to be received in error. Therefore, Forward Error Correction (FEC) consisting of Reed-Solomon (RS) coding followed by convolutional coding is used 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. Five convolutional code rates are available: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. These provide different compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness. Page 1-8 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Introduction The modulation scheme used in the Modulator on each of its multiple data carriers is either Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
(16QAM) or Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK). QAM is a mixture of amplitude and phase modulation. QPSK uses phase modulation at constant amplitude. Both schemes are supported, to allow the system to provide different compromises between bit-rate and ruggedness. Four guard intervals are available: 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4. These are used to reduce the effects of intersymbol interference at the receive end caused by multipath propagation. A guard interval of 1/4 offers a robust transmission with the highest level of protection. NOTE The guard interval on the Voyager Lite must be set to the same value as the Receiver. COFDM Modes and their Effect on Bit-rate NOTE At time of publication the Alteia Receiver for use with Voyager Lite (M2/PTRE/948CVL) is currently only designed for use at 8 MHz channel spacing within the system. The tables for 7 MHz and 6 MHz operation are, therefore, provided for information only, should an alternative Receiver be used. Typical bit-rate outputs for 8 MHz, 7 MHz and 6 MHz channel spacing are given in Table 1.2, Table 1.3 and Table 1.4 respectively. These illustrate how output bit-rate is affected by modulation scheme, FEC (convolutional code) rate and guard interval.

The MPEG-2 Main profile @ Main level (MP@ML) specification
(ISO/IEC 13818) and The MPEG-2 4:2:2 profile @ Main Level (422P@ML) specification (ISO/IEC 13818) Video Encoding Modes Two video-encoding modes are available; they are 4:2:0 and 4:2:2, either of which can be selected. The coding mode selected affects the compression techniques, Encoder delay and rate control. Table 1.5 and Table 1.6 contain more information on modes and compression uses. Table 1.5: 4:2:2 Mode Compression Mode Description Standard Low Delay Ultra Low Delay Normal delay. No special techniques or fixed settings used to reduce encoding delay. Delay lowered by reducing the video rate buffer. Can compromise video quality in some circumstances. Various special techniques used to reduce the delay mode. May not work with all Decoders, especially older models or third-party Decoders. Use Mixture of fixed and wireless cameras used. Two-way transmission (e.g. an interview).

ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-15 Introduction Output on Video Loss If video input is lost, the Encoder can be software-configured to show either a test pattern (colour bars and red) or black. There is also an option to switch the caption showing the service name ON or OFF. Audio Encoding General Audio can be encoded to any of the following:
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2 (Musicam) standard (sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz) or Dolby Digital (sampling rate of 32 kHz or 48 kHz). Output bit-
rate is selectable in the range 64 kbit/s to 384 kbit/s
(dependent on configuration) for MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) and 96 kbit/s to 640 kbit/s (dependent upon configuration) for Dolby Digital. Pre-compressed (or pre-encoded IEC 61937) audio in pass-
through mode is also available. This is where an audio stream has already been encoded externally, prior to entering the Encoder and is passed through to the output. This type of audio is supported in Dolby Digital and can be embedded with the incoming SDI video information. Linear PCM (SMPTE 302M). Dolby E Pass Through. Audio Inputs The standard audio input is:
AUDIO IN Two female XLR connectors selectable via the Audio Menu (see Chapter 2, Set-up, Configuration and Operation) - balanced analogue or digital AES/EBU, with AES/EBU on the left connector only. Alternatively, audio can be input embedded as AES/EBU on the serial digital input (SDI). In this mode, two of four stereo pairs can be extracted. Audio may be converted to either of the standard output frequencies, 32 kHz or 48 kHz, by use of the built-in asynchronous sample rate converters. Page 1-16 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Audio Channels Introduction The Encoder supports two channels of audio, which may be configured as one of the following:
Two analogue mono channels, 600 W or 20 kW One analogue stereo pair, 600 W or 20 kW One digital channel, AES/EBU or embedded SDI MPEG Encoding Modes The two stereo pairs may be configured in various encoding modes:
Single mono: the left channel is encoded the signal is output to Left and Right connectors at the receiving end. Dual mono: the left and right signals are encoded and carried in the transport stream as a single Packetised Elementary Stream (PES) data stream. The way that the left and right signals are output from the Receiver is dependent on how the routing is set-up in the Receiver. Both the left and the right may be output, or the left only, or the right only. This is typically used for multilingual services. Stereo: A stereo pair is coded as two mono signals - the two signals are output as stereo at the receiving end. Joint/intensity stereo: A stereo pair is coded taking advantage of the stereo nature of the channels the two signals are output as stereo at the receiving end. Test Tone An internally generated test tone is available for alignment purposes. Refer to Annex B, Technical Specification for level and frequency. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-17 Introduction Audio Variable Bit-rate MPEG-2 audio output bit-rate (see Table 1.9) is selectable in the range 32 kbit/s - 384 kbit/s (dependent on configuration).

Page 1-24 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Construction/Design Introduction The Voyager Lite is of robust construction and consists of one shielded, self-ventilated enclosure. All external connections are via connectors on the enclosure. The equipment, being both lightweight (2.1 kg) and compact, is designed primarily for mobile use using dc voltage power from the rechargeable Batteries. The power input range is 10.2 to 19.0 Vdc, consumption of up to 50 W. The equipment is intended to operate in ambient air temperature conditions in the range 10C to +40C (14F to 104F). Mounting the Encoder Mobile The Voyager Lite Encoder is at present only designed for use with its associated backpack. This allows full portability of the unit within a secure enclosure. Bespoke mobile options are available via TANDBERG Television AVS, please contact Customer Services for further information. In a Rack/Mobile Enclosure The Voyager Lite is not currently available with a mounting option as standard, such as within a vehicle. Please contact Customer Services for further information and advice. Baseband Functionality The Voyager Lite motherboard (S12424) is responsible for all functions of the Encoder including audio encoding. The audio function supports multiple coding modes. Audio can be input as balanced analogue via both XLR connectors, digital audio via the left XLR connector or as SDI embedded audio (via the Video connector). High quality video encoding is ensured by the inclusion of many proprietary algorithms as well as standard MPEG compression techniques. The Encoder uses hierarchical motion estimation. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-25 Introduction Video input to the unit is in either analogue composite video
(PAL B/D/G/H/I/M/N/N(Jamaica) or NTSC-M) or serial digital
(SDI). The Voyager Lite can accept high-quality digital and analogue video inputs via a combined BNC Video connector. These are identified as SDI and VBS. For specifications of these interfaces see Annex B, Technical Specification. The internal modulator receives the MPEG-2 Transport Stream from the encoding section of the motherboard and provides the signal conversion to DVB-T compliant COFDM. RF Functionality An internal IF 70 MHz signal is generated from the COFDM baseband signal. The IF 70 MHz signal is fed into the internal RF frequency agile up-converter (2.1 to 2.5 GHz) where the signal is synthesised and filtered before passing in to an internal RF low-
power amplifier (up to 200 mW). Battery Pack and Charger TANDBERG Television can supply a Battery Pack (IDX Endura 80S Lithium Ion) including the Charger (IDX VL-2 plus) as shown in Figure 1.8. These are optional third-party items of equipment suitable for use with the Voyager Lite. Marketing number is M2/VLTX/IDXBAT02. The battery voltage should be around 14.5 Vdc when fully charged. An LED on the charger casing illuminates orange (yellow) to indicate powered status. A pair of bi-colour LEDs on the charger casing indicates charging of the batteries. The LED colours indicate:
Red Charging Green Charged Battery charging is not achieved in parallel. The first battery connected to the charger is charged initially followed by the other battery. CAUTION Page 1-26 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Introduction Battery charge is indicated by a three-LED bar graph on the side of the Battery Pack. The LEDs illuminate green to indicate the remaining charge level when the adjacent button is pressed. The battery should provide around one hour of operation under optimum environmental and operational conditions. The Charger can house two Battery Packs at one time. CAUTION Lithium Batteries should be disposed of in a safe manner, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. NOTES 1. At present the Voyager Lite can only be powered with a dc Battery Pack or dc Power Belt. Any IDX battery pack may be used with the Voyager Lite, dependent upon customer preference. Sony BPL90/60 Batteries are also supported as standard (Not BPL40). 2. 3. For further information regarding handling/charging/disposal of Battery equipment, refer to manufacturers documentation. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-27 Introduction Figure 1.8: Typical Battery Charger and Battery Pack(s) Page 1-28 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Introduction Low Voltage Vibration Alarm In order for the operator to avoid loss of transmission due to empty batteries TANDBERG Television supplies a low battery vibration alarm for the Voyager Lite backpack transmitter. A 3.5 mm Stereo jack-plug, located on the battery interface plate, provides a battery capacity monitoring output for the external vibration alarm. The vibration alarm itself can be carried for instance in the backpack or in the clothing. The vibration alarm will not disturb the production environment (e.g. during an interview) and is a reliable warning even in a noisy environment
(e.g. in a sports stadium). Figure 1.9: Low Voltage Vibration Alarm NOTE The low battery vibration alarm is only available with the capacity monitoring function of IDX Endura 80 Li-ion batteries. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-29 Introduction PA2406D-12V Power Amplifier Figure 1.10: Power Amplifier Designed for use with DENG applications. It provides an alternative to using the internal up-converter and antennas in the backpack if the Voyager Lite is used remotely with an external transmit antenna. The amplifier incorporates automatic gain control, a high bandwidth of operation and low distortion products. It has a rugged design and is weatherproofed for external use. NOTE The Voyager Lite Encoder is at present only designed for use with its associated backpack. This allows full portability of the unit within a secure enclosure. Bespoke mobile options are available via TANDBERG Television AVS, please contact Customer Services for further information.

Page 1-30 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Receive System General Introduction The equipment for the reception system is described in this section. The receive system will comprise the following major elements:
Receive Antenna Down-converter Digital ENG Receiver A full list of the options available can be found in Table 1.1. Figure 1.11: Typical Voyager Lite Receive System ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 1-31 Introduction Receive Antennas General Several models of Receive Antenna are available for use with the Voyager Lite system:
VLA 2404 LP, Omni-Directional Antenna with Linear VLA 2405 LP, Omni-Directional Antenna with Linear VLA 2408 LP, Omni-Directional Antenna with Linear Polarization Polarization Polarization VLA 2409 CP-R, Planar Antenna with Circular Polarization VLA 2417 LP, Directional Antenna with Linear Polarization VLA 2417 CP-R, Planar Antenna with Circular Polarization VLA 2418 CP-R, Planar Antenna with Circular Polarization Further technical information is available in Annex B, Technical Specification. Directional and Omni-directional Antennas An Omni-directional Antenna is one where energy is directed evenly across the whole beam width. A Linear/Planar Antenna is one where the beam width is either focussed horizontally or vertically. A Circularly Polarized Antenna is one where the signal is rotated like a corkscrew, to either the right or left. The reasoning between the use of either a Directional or Omni-
directional Antenna is relatively straightforward. If the system is stationary and line of sight is achievable between the Transmitter and Receiver Antenna, a Directional Antenna will give the best performance. If several other wireless video systems are operating in the same area, directional antennas will prove to be more robust against interference between the systems. If the transmitter or Receiver is mobile, or there are numerous objects along the transmission path, an Omni-directional Antenna should yield better results.

In theory it is possible to calculate exactly what the range can be achieved using a transmitter rated at a known power output, with a certain type of Receive Antenna of a known gain. In practice, however, conditions change over time due to some of the following factors:
Ambient noise levels rise and fall, based on time of day and other factors Multi-path conditions change, e.g. passing vehicles Weather conditions, particularly snow and ice Vegetation/Foliage may be present at a location in summer but not in winter, thus absorbing signals Other transmitters may be operating in the area, which are unknown to the operator A critical specification of antennas is gain, choosing the correct gain Antenna is largely performance (range, robustness of signal) and cost driven. The beam width of the signal decreases as gain increases, therefore, positioning of antennas in relation to one another becomes more critical as higher gain is used. Antenna Positioning and Mounting Maximum transmission range is achieved with clear line of sight between transmit and receive antennas. Best reception will occur if there are no moving objects between the antennas and they are placed at least eight to ten feet above such objects and ground level. Where the Receive Antenna is separate from the Receiver itself, a 5m cable is provided for interconnection. If a greater cable length is required only a suitably high quality, low loss 50 W cable (RG-
223 or better) should be used. It is wise to position the Receive Antenna so the front is directly facing the transmitter and is not obstructed by any metallic objects. Consideration must be given to the distance of the Receiver from the Antenna. Increasing the cable length may result in signal losses that more than offset any advantage in locating the antenna higher or with a better line of sight to the transmitter. As an alternative to mounting the antenna remotely a short cable can be used with a TANDBERG Television LNA2420-06Fw Low Noise Pre-amplifier.

Power Supply The following section, DC Operating Voltage and Earthing, provides details of power supply connection and safety. Take time to read the instructions carefully and take note of all warnings and cautions. DC Operating Voltage and Earthing DC Power Supply CAUTIONS... 1. 2. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated within this manual (Battery Pack or Power Belt). If you are not sure of the type of power supply to be used by the Voyager Lite, consult a qualified electrical engineer, the manufacturer or their agents. The Voyager Lite can be connected to a positive or negative earth system but you must ensure that correct polarity to the dc input connections are maintained. The internal dc power supply module used in this equipment is designed for use on dc supplies (nominally 12 Vdc) ranging from 10.2 to 19 Vdc. A version for 19 to 36 Vdc is available on request.
(See Annex B, Technical Specification for a full power supply specification). The dc connections within the Voyager Lite are floating (both are isolated from the case and earth connection). Please refer to the above caution regarding voltage polarity. The recommended types of dc power sources are as follows:
DC Power Belt with suitable fuse protection Battery with suitable fuse protection Page 2-8 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Set-up, Configuration and Operation CAUTIONS 1. 2. The Voyager Lite requires a minimum of 12 volts to power-up and has a low voltage shutdown facility that will operate at approximately 11 volts. This is part of the power units design. The Internal Power Supply, however, ranges from 10.2 to 19.0 Vdc. Failure to observe the equipment voltage requirements may result in power cycling of the unit if the battery is unable to maintain its terminal voltage. Damage may result if this condition is allowed to continue. NOTE Power is supplied to the unit as soon as the Battery Pack is connected to the interface plate on the Voyager Lite front or Power Belt is connected to the DC in socket. There is no ON/OFF switch. An LED on the unit casing will illuminate to indicate that power is connected. Voltage Indicators A bi-colour LED (red/green) on the unit casing will illuminate when power is connected to the Voyager Lite. Green indicates correct operation of the unit. During normal operation, the green LED illuminates continuously. Red indicates a fault condition (e.g. missing input signal). During normal operation, the red LED should be off, although it may illuminate during the power-up phase.

ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 3-5 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding Fault-finding Fault-finding Philosophy It is the objective of this chapter to provide sufficient information to enable you to rectify apparent faults or to identify the suspect item, where possible. Some basic procedures are provide to follow in the case of a suspected failure. WARNING DO NOT REMOVE THE COVERS OF THIS EQUIPMENT. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THIS EQUIPMENT AND MAY BE EXPOSED IF THE COVERS ARE REMOVED. ONLY SUITABLY QUALIFIED, TRAINED AND APPROVED SERVICE ENGINEERS ARE PERMITTED TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT. CAUTION Do not remove the covers of this equipment. Unauthorised maintenance or the use of non-approved replacements may affect the equipment specification and invalidate any warranties. This manual does not include any maintenance information or procedures, which would require the removal of covers. If the following information fails to clear the abnormal condition, call a Service Engineer or contact Customer Services using the information given in the Preliminary Pages of this manual. Preliminary Checks Always investigate the failure symptoms fully, prior to taking remedial action. Fault diagnosis for the equipment operator is limited to the following tasks, since the operator should NOT remove the covers of the equipment:
1. Check the Status LED. If it is not lit:
a) Check that the dc Battery Pack is in good condition and properly connected. b) Check that the dc supply is available at the correct voltage. 2. If the Status LED is green but flashes red, this indicates a video input error and the video set-up should be checked. Page 3-6 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding 3. If the Status LED is red the output has failed. This may be due to a processor error or a failure during booting. It is recommended that the unit is rebooted whilst monitoring for errors using the RS-232 link. 4. Check the Cooling fans are operational. If not, disconnect power and contact TANDBERG Television Customer Services. Output Frequencies For operational reasons of the Up-converter board, the following output frequencies should be avoided:
2357.8 MHz 2358.0 MHz 2358.2 MHz 2358.4 MHz 2358.6 MHz 2358.8 MHz 2360.0 MHz 2360.2 MHz 2360.4 MHz 2360.6 MHz 2360.8 MHz Modulation Modes There are some settings that result in a video bit-rate below 3.2 Mbit/s, at which the audio may not function. Table 3.1 gives examples of settings to avoid. All examples are set in 422P@ML compression mode with standard delay and QPSK Modulation. Table 3.1: Parameter Settings to Avoid Guard Interval 1/4 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/16 1/32 1/32 FEC Rate 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 GOP Structure I IBBP IBBP I IB I IBB Video Bit-Rate (Mbit/s) 2.0904 2.3689 2.9100 2.9400 3.1168 3.1237 3.1725 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 3-7 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding Incorrect Video Standard If the applied video source is different to that selected in the configuration (e.g. PAL-B/G/H/I selected but an NTSC source feed is connected) the output will not be properly locked. The unit will re-lock once the correct source has been selected or the correct feed is connected. If there is a difference between what is selected and what is connected at initial power on, there may not be a valid output
(e.g the display will be either colour bars and red or black, depending on which option is selected under the Video Source Menu). Again, when the correct settings are applied, the unit will lock correctly. Down-converter Models Depending upon the Down-converter being used in the system the user must choose the correct input settings on the Alteia Receiver (Menu 4, 12/14). The display on the Down-converter shows different unit types in the first line:
AVS Digital ENG RX Freq. 2400000 kHz Status: locked This is the original Down-converter model. The user must therefore select IF 70 MHz Normal as the input selection on the Alteia Receiver. If the Display on the Down-converter shows:
AVS DCL 2400 RX Freq. 2400000 kHz This is the latest Down-converter model. The user must therefore select IF 70 MHz Inverted as the input selection on the Alteia Receiver. Page 3-8 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding Video Fault-finding Breaks in Transmission If a transitory break in transmission occurs then check the encoding mode option of the Unit (see Chapter 2). In the standard and low delay encoding modes, bit-rate and GOP changes are not seamless. This is because the Voyager Lite tries to maintain minimal end-to-end delay (latency) and that means buffer sizes must be as small as possible. In the standard and low delay encoding modes, the buffer size is selected by the video bit-rate. Changing the bit-rate changes the buffer size, requiring a reset of the coding process. Error Messages These are accessed using an RS-232 Hyperterminal link, the Test Functions Menu is password protected for use by TANDBERG Television only. During boot a number of self-tests are performed. If any of these fail, an error message will be recorded. Voyager Lite Video System Testing It is recommended that the Voyager Lite wireless system is first tested with the Transmitter and Receiver in close proximity (3m), to ensure proper interconnection of the Camera and Monitor to the Transmitter and Receiver, respectively. If all interconnections are made correctly, a clear picture should be available on the Monitor. If there is no picture at all, perform the following steps:
1. Check the system performance, minus the wireless video 2. Transmitter and Receiver by directly connecting the Monitor to the Camera with the same cables. This should verify the performance of the Camera and Monitor, as well as verifying that the interconnecting cables are sound. If the verification test detailed in (1.) has been performed, the system is fully reconnected but there is still no picture, check the power supply voltage. If the voltage output of the supply is less than the manufacturers required voltage, the power supply needs replacement. 3. Check the guard interval and frequency settings. It is recommended that a robust mode is selected:
ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 3-9 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding
- QPSK
- FEC 1/2
- Guard Interval 4. Ensure that the Transmitter is using the same channel as the 5. Receiver as is not too close to the receive Antenna. If the system is still not operating after attempting the above steps, the fault must lie within the wireless link. See the Return of Equipment section in the Preliminary Pages to contact the manufacturer. If the Transmitter and Receiver are now placed in the required locations and there is poor picture quality (break-ups, blocking or artefacts) there are several possible reasons and remedies:
Exceeding Maximum Range. Obstructions between the Transmitter and Receiver Antennas will reduce the maximum range quoted by the manufacturer. The distance will vary depending on the nature and number of obstructions encountered. If the operating distance is close to the manufacturers maximum limit and quality is unacceptably poor, consider using an upgraded Antenna. Interference. Most other wireless video systems also operate in the ISM bands. It is possible that other wireless devices are operating in the same area. In the majority of cases interference will be temporary. If interference persists, it is recommended that the operating channel be changed. A spectrum analyser may be used to Monitor the interference before the picture breaks. Multipath Reception. Systems using COFDM modulation are generally less susceptible to multipath interference than conventional broadcast systems that use FM modulation. It can occur however and is dependent on Antenna location and configuration. If unacceptable levels of multipath interference occur, causing signal loss or break-up, higher gain Antennas will often solve the problem. Page 3-10 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding Multi-System Configurations. In multiple transmission channel systems, simultaneous operation of up to eight systems is possible within the same area of operation. Each system must operate on a separate frequency and the set-up of the complete system should aim for the following:
Low power output (100 mW max) Directional Antennas if necessary No interference from other sources (e.g. microwave oven) Multi System Configuration (Example) 2475 2465 2455 2445 2435 2425 2415 2405 z H M 2500 2480 2460 2440 2420 2400 2380 2360 8MHz Bandwidths Figure 3.1: Multi System Operation Different Frequencies Within the Same Area (Example) The potential for interference can be further minimised if directive Antennas are used, such as the TANDBERG Television high gain models. With the Receiver Antenna pointing at the corresponding Transmitter with at least 30 degrees horizontal separation of the transmission paths, the potential interference from adjacent channels will be greatly diminished. NOTE Due to the difficulty of predicting the susceptibility of any one application to the transmission limitations described above, it is recommended that site testing occur prior to actual installation. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page 3-11 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding Disposing of the Equipment Dispose of this and any associated third-party equipment (e.g. Battery Packs) safely at the end of their life. Local codes and/or environmental restrictions may affect disposal. Regulations, policies and/or environmental restrictions differ throughout the world.

Digital video coding method in which the colour difference signals are sampled on all lines at half the luminance rate. 422 Profile at Main Level: A subset of the MPEG-2 standard, which supports digital video storage (DVD etc.) and transmissions up to 50 Mbit/s over various mediums. Used for Contribution and Distribution applications. Asynchronous. Advanced Television Standards Committee: An organisation founded in 1983 to research and develop a digital TV standard for the U.S.A. In late 1996, the FCC adopted the ATSC standard, the digital counterpart of the NTSC standard. The rate of transfer of digital data when the data comprises information symbols that may consist of a number of possible states. Equivalent to bit-rate when the symbols only have two states (1 and 0). Measured in Baud. The rate of transfer of digital data when the data comprises two logic states, 1 and 0. Measured in bit/s. Bidirectionally Predictive Coded Picture/Frame: A picture that is coded using motion-compensated prediction from previous I or P frames (forward prediction) and/or future I or P frames (backward prediction). B frames are not used in any prediction. 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. Coded OFDM: COFDM adds forward error correction to the OFDM transmission consisting of Reed-Solomon (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.

Responsible for compressing and multiplexing the video / audio / data bit-streams, together with the authorisation stream. The multiplexed data stream is then ready for transmission. Decibels: A ratio of one quantity to another using logarithmic scales to give results related to human aural or visual perception. dB is a ratio whereas dBm, for example, is an absolute value, quoted as a ratio to a fixed point of 0 dBm. 0 dBm is 1 mW at 1 kHz terminated in 600. 0 dBmV is 1 mV terminated in 75. The unit containing the electronic circuitry necessary to decode encrypted signals. Some Decoders are separate from the Receiver but in satellite TV broadcasting, the term is often used interchangeably as a name for an Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD). The term IRD, or IRD / Decoder, is usually associated with satellite TV broadcasting while Cable systems are based on Converters or on Set-Top Boxes / Converters. Data Identifier. The process by which the frequency of a broadcast transport stream is shifted to a lower frequency range. Digital Video Broadcasting: A European project which has defined transmission standards for digital broadcasting systems using satellite (DVB-S), cable (DVB-C) and terrestrial (DVB-T) medium, created by the EP-DVB group and approved by the ITU. Specifies modulation, error correction, etc. (see EN 300 421 for satellite, EN 300 429 for cable and EN 300 744 for terrestrial). Technical Earth: Ensures that all equipment chassis within a rack are at the same potential, usually by connecting a wire between the Technical earth terminal and a suitable point on the rack. This is sometimes known as a Functional earth. Protective Earth: Used for electric shock protection. This is sometimes known as a safety earth. European Broadcast Union. Electromagnetic Compatibility. Electronic News Gathering Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters European Telecommunications Standard. European Telecommunications Standards Institute. Federal Communications Commission. Frequency Division Multiplex: A common communication channel for a number of signals, each with its own allotted frequency. Forward Error Correction: A method of catching errors in a transmission. The data is processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits and sends these with the transmitted data. The extra bits are then used at the receiving end to check the accuracy of the transmission and correct any errors. Fast Fourier Transformation: A fast algorithm for performing a discrete Fourier transform. File Transfer Protocol: A protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc.). For example, after developing the HTML pages for a Web site on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the Web server, using FTP. Unlike e-mail programs in which graphics and program files have to be attached, FTP is designed to handle binary files directly and does not add the overhead of encoding and decoding the data. Group of Pictures: MPEG video compression works more effectively by processing a number of video frames as a block. The TANDBERG Television Encoder normally uses a 12 frame GOP; every twelfth frame is an I frame. Page A-2 ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System IEC IF Interframe Coding Intraframe Coding I-picture; I-
frame IRD ISO kbit/s Kbit LED LNB Mbit/s Motion Estimation Motion Vector MP@ML MPEG MPEG-2 NTSC OFDM Glossary International Electrotechnical Committee. Intermediate Frequency: Usually refers to the 70 MHz or 140 MHz output of the Modulator in cable, satellite and terrestrial transmission applications. Compression coding involving consecutive frames. When consecutive frames are compared, temporal redundancy is used to remove common elements (information) and arrive at difference information. MPEG-2 uses B and P frames, but since they are individually incomplete and relate to other adjacent frames, they cannot be edited independently. Compression coding involving a single frame. Redundant information is removed on a per frame basis. All other frames are ignored. Coding of a macroblock or picture that uses information only from that macroblock or picture. Exploits spatial redundancy by using DCT to produce I frames; these are independent frames and can be edited. Intracoded Picture/Frame: A picture / frame, which is coded using purely intracoding with reference to no other field or frame information. The I frame is used as a reference for other compression methods. Integrated Receiver Decoder: The Receiver with an internal MPEG Decoder, which is connected to the subscribers TV. The IRD is responsible for receiving and de-multiplexing all signals. The unit receives the incoming signal and if CA is active, decodes the signal when provided with a control word by the viewing card. Domestic IRDs are also known as Set-Top Units or Set-Top Boxes. International Standards Organisation. 1000 bits per second. 1024 bits, usually refers to memory capacity or allocation. Light Emitting Diode. Low Noise Block Down-Converter: The component of a subscriber satellite transmission receiving dish which amplifies the incoming signal and down-converts it to a suitable frequency to input to the IRD (typically 950 MHz - 1600 MHz). Million bits per second. The process of estimating motion vectors in the encoding process. A two-dimensional vector used for motion compensation that provides an offset from the co-ordinate position in the current picture or field to the co-ordinates in a reference frame or field. Main Profile at Main Level: A subset of the MPEG-2 standard, which supports digital video storage (DVD etc.) and transmissions up to 15 Mbit/s over various mediums. Moving Pictures Experts Group: The name of the ISO/IEC working group which sets up the international standards for digital television source coding. Industry standard for video and audio source coding using compression and multiplexing techniques to minimise video signal bit-rate in preparation for broadcasting. Specified in ISO/IEC 13818. The standard is split into layers and profiles defining bit-rates and picture resolutions. National Television Systems Committee: The group, which developed analogue standards used in television broadcast systems in the United States. Also adopted in other countries (e.g. Mexico, Canada, Japan). This system uses 525 picture lines and a 59.97 Hz field frequency. Orthogonal FDM: A modulation technique used for digital TV transmission in Europe, Japan and Australia;
more spectrally efficient than FDM. In OFDM, data is distributed over a large number of carriers spaced apart at precise frequencies. The carriers are arranged with overlapping sidebands in such a way that the signals can be received without adjacent channel interference. ST.TM.2001.1: Voyager Lite System Page A-3 Glossary Packet PAL PCR PES PID P-picture/P-
frame Program Programme PSK PSU QAM QPSK RF RS SAR SDI SELV Transport Stream Upconvert VBS XILINX A unit of data transmitted over a packet-switching network. A packet consists of a header followed by a number of contiguous bytes from an elementary data stream. Phase Alternating Line: A colour TV broadcasting system that uses 625 picture lines and a 50 Hz field frequency. The phase of the colour-difference is inverted on every alternate line to provide consistent colour reproduction. Program Clock Reference: A time-stamp in the transport stream from which the Decoder timing is derived. Packetised Elementary Stream: A sequential stream of data bytes that has been converted from original elementary streams of audio and video access units and transported as packets. Each PES packet consists of a header and a payload of variable length and subject to a maximum of 64 kbytes. A time-stamp is provided by the MPEG-2 systems layer to ensure correct synchronisation between related elementary streams at the Decoder. Packet Identifier: The header on a packet in an elementary data stream, which identifies that data stream. An MPEG-2 / DVB standard. A picture / frame produced using forward prediction. It contains predictions from either previous I frames or previous P frames. The P frame is used as a reference for future P or B frames. PC - A sequence of instructions for a computer. TV - A concept having a precise definition within ISO 13818-1 (MPEG-2). For a transport stream, the timebase is defined by the PCR. The use of the PCR for timing information creates a virtual channel within the stream. A linking of one or more events under the control of a broadcaster. For example, football match, news, film show. In the MPEG-2 concept, the collection of elementary streams comprising the programme, have a common start and end time. A series of programmes are referred to as events. Phase Shift Keying: A method of modulating digital signals particularly suited to satellite transmission. Power Supply Unit. Quadrature Amplitude Modulation: A method of modulating digital signals, which uses combined techniques of phase modulation and amplitude modulation. It is particularly suited to cable networks. Quadrature Phase Shift Keying: A form of phase shift keying modulation using four states. Radio Frequency. Reed-Solomon coding: An error detection and correction, coding system. 16 bytes of Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction code are appended to the packet before transmission bringing the packet length to 204 bytes. The 16 bytes are used at the receiving end to correct any errors. Up to eight corrupted bytes can be corrected. Spectral Absorption Ratio Serial Digital Interface Safety Extra Low Voltage (EN 60950). 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.
