Figure 1: Operational Keys

The four arrow keys are used to navigate the menu tree as follows:
Down scroll down to the next option in the current menu.
Up scroll up to the previous option in the current menu.
Right advance to the next menu level in the hierarchy.
Left revert to the previous menu level in the hierarchy.
Up and down arrows are shown on the left of the display when the up
and down keys are valid.
Left and right arrows are shown on the right of the display when the
left and right arrow keys are valid.
To return to the summary screen from anywhere in the menus, press
the left arrow key as many times as necessary.

Changing a Setting
Once a parameter has been selected for changing, use the up and
down arrow keys to toggle through the different values.
To insert a character press and hold the ENTER key.
To delete a character press and hold the CANCEL key.
Press ENTER to accept a new setting.
Press CANCEL to leave the setting unchanged.

NOTE...
To allow key parameters to be quickly changed the Ops and A/V
menus behave slightly differently. Press ENTER to toggle through
the different values of a parameter. The last value selected is the
one that is accepted for use.

See Instruction Manual (ST.TM.E10076) for full operating details. Page 2

Menu Structure
The top level menu hierarchy is as follows:
SUMMARY Ops This allows quick control of the
SCREEN modulator. This is only available if the
Setup/Output/Output Format is
Sat Modulator.
A/V This allows quick set-up of audio and
video parameters.
Errors This allows alarm conditions to be
examined.
Setup This enables detailed set-up of the unit.
Configs This allows configurations to be stored
and retrieved.
Diagnostics This allows basic fault diagnostics to be
performed.

Getting Started
Before Powering Up
Before powering up check that:
1. The unit has been installed in a suitable location.
2. The power supply has been checked and a good earth provided.
3. The correct fuse type and rating has been fitted to both the unit
and the ac power cable. There are no adjustments or fuse
changes needed for 110/230 Vac ranges.
4. The unit is connected to external equipment and power supply, as
required.
NOTE...
Please refer to Instruction manual ST.TM.E10076 for all power
supply, fuse, safety, EMC information and operating
conditions.

Powering Up
To power up the DSNG Encoder:
1. Check that the Power Supply Stand-by Switch is set to ON and
apply power to the equipment.
2. The DSNG Encoder executes a series of power-up initialisation
and self-test routines. If the self-tests are successful, the summary
screen is displayed (see the following section).
3. Confirm that the green Power LED is lit and that the red Alarm
LED is unlit.
4. Stable operation, within specification, is available after a boot peri-
od of approximately 90 seconds (without Remux Option fitted).

Page 3
Summary Screen
Once the self-tests are successfully completed, the summary screen
is displayed (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Summary Screen

Turn Output On
The configuration of the DSNG Encoder after booting is the same as
when power was last removed, with the following exceptions:
• Modulation of the IF carrier is switched on.
• The IF output is switched off.
• The IF output power is set to 'Low' (or 'Normal' if the low and nor-
mal settings are set to the same level).

NOTE...
If power dip recovery is enabled, and the power supply interrup-
tion is less than eight seconds, the unit powers up in the same
state as when the power failed.

To Get ‘On Air’ Quickly

The Ops menu is intended to allow the user to quickly configure the
unit and get ‘on air'.
1. From the summary screen press the right arrow key twice to
access the Ops menu.
2. Press ENTER to turn the IF output on.
3. Press the down arrow twice to see IF Power and press ENTER to
switch to Normal power.
4. If more parameters need to be set then use the up and down
arrow keys to scroll through the following and press the ENTER
key to change them:
IF Output - On or Off
Modulation - On or Off
IF Power - Low or Normal setting
FEC Rate - 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8
Bit-rate (188) - Enter a valid bit-rate
Symbol Rate - Enter a symbol rate in Msym/s
IF Frequency - Enter a frequency from 50 MHz to 90 MHz
5. Press the left arrow key twice to return to the Summary Screen.

Setting Up the Equipment
Configuration Setup
The Configs menu allows the user to store and load the following
types of configurations:

tions.
Write Protect Configs - write protect the configurations so they
cannot be overwritten.

Audio / Video Set-up

The A/V menu is intended to allow the user to quickly configure the
audio and video settings:
1. From the summary screen press the down arrow key twice to see
the A/V menu and press the right arrow key to access it.
2. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the following
parameters, and press the ENTER key to change their value:
Video Input - This selects the video source, and the options given
are all those possible with the currently defined frame rate (can be
changed in the Video Source menu)
Profile/Level - MP@ML or 422P@ML
Compression Mode - Standard, Low Delay etc
