TT1220 MPEG-2/DVB (4:2:0)
Professional Single Channel Receiver
The TT1220 receiver is a highly popular professional receiver for MPEG-2 4:2:0MP@ML applications.

Business Benefits

Cost Effective Solution The TT1220 is designed to be shipped in large volume, offering an unmatched price/performance in the professional receiver market. Secure Transmission The TT1220 can be delivered with TANDBERG Director, NDS VideoGuard and Common Interface, which mean that it is compliant with all major CA systems. Professional Monitoring With a selection of input interfaces and simple TS measurement, the TT1220 is ideal for the monitoring of Satellite networks. Single Service Descrambler Equipped with either SDI or/and ASI output delivering a descrambled feed, the TT1220 will meet the need as a single channel descrambler.

Application

Cable Head-End
Capable of receiving digital feeds from Satellite links, Terrestrial compression centres or a main cable head-end, the TT1220 is a professional product with a wide range of interfaces and functionality ideal for the Cable Market. The TT1220 is capable of descrambling one selected service and delivering it as an ASI output. A complete ASI service can be achieved by cascading several receivers. A major function of a professional IRD at an analogue cable head-end is to provide excellent analogue audio and video signals. The TT1220 achieves this with its ability to handle all major composite formats including PAL, NTSC and SECAM.
Satellite Distribution & Contribution Application
The TT1220 can be used as a satellite receiver at receive sites and also for the monitoring of content delivery. The receiver supports a wide range of DVB open standards and proprietary scrambling systems making it well suited to operate in a large number of different satellite distribution systems. The TT1220 can also be utilised in a highly secure TANDBERG Director network management and receiver control system. This system enables the operator to accurately control who receives their output and using the over air control facilities ensures that receivers are correctly tuned and their content scheduled. Again this removes the necessity for remote sites to be manned at all times.

Transport Stream Input Options
The TT1220 can be selected to have either a QPSK or ASI Front-End Interface to make it suitable for a range of different applications. The ASI input accepts a DVB-ASI compliant signal (188 or 204 byte), at a maximum of 60 Mbit/s. The QPSK input interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and accepts an intermediate frequency input in the MHz (L-band) range. The unit can provide DC power, as well as a 22 kHz control signal.

Conditional Access

The TT1220 is integrated with all the major CA vendors and can handle the following systems: TANDBERG Director NDS VideoGuard BSkyB Version DVB Common Interface BISS (Mode 0 and 1) (Smart Card) (Smart Card) (Conditional Access Module) (Embedded)

Output Formats

One DVB-ASI BNC may be available on the unit depending on the chosen configuration. This provides a transport stream output with a maximum rate of 60Mbit/s. The selected service can be transmitted in the clear enabling the TT1220 to operate as a single channel descrambler.' Two BNC composite analogue video outputs are present on the rear of the unit. If the factory fitted option of a SDI video output is present, it replaces one of the composite outputs. One analogue stereo audio pair carried on a 9-pin D-SUB connector, is available. Depending on the input, it is menu configurable to allow one stereo, a dual-mono or two independent mono channels. The channels can carry different languages. RS-232 asynchronous low speed data output carried on a 9-way D-sub connector, available on all models. The data output rate is configurable from 1200 bit/s to 115200 bit/s.

Control

The TT1220 is designed for unattended operation. Once set up, it requires no further attention except to ensure that the fan is working. There are three control modes associated with the receiver, local (keypad), remote (RS-232), and over the air control.

Terrestrial Application

The TT1220 has already been adopted by most of the major DTT implementations in Europe as they emerge as the next platform in the terrestrial arena, proving the ideal solutions for adaptation systems and regional head ends. Functionality that includes real time monitoring, remote status and content checking are essential for Digital terrestrial systems; all are included in the TT1220. Equipped with an OFDM demodulator front end that includes MER measurement, the TT1220 is an ideal solution for professional DTT error detection and monitoring the network for content failure, modulation failure and bit errors.

Transport Stream Input Options
The TT1220 comes with choice of optional Front-End Interfaces to make it suitable to a range of different applications. The main input of the TT1220 is the QPSK f-connector. This input interfaces directly to Low-Noise Block (LNB) and accepts an intermediate frequency (IF) input in the MHz (L-band) range. The unit can provide DC power, as well as a 22 kHz control signal. The maximum input symbol rate is 44,5 Msym/s, while the maximum total bit-rate is 60 Mbit/s. An optional (factory fitted) COFDM or an optional (factory fitted) DVB-ASI BNC connector may be present, replacing the QPSK front-end interface. The COFDM input accepts 6, 7 or 8 MHz UHF input, depending on the ordered bandwidth (factory fitted option) with 2K or 8K signals. The ASI input accepts a DVB-ASI compliant signal (188 or 204 byte), at a maximum of 60 Mbit/s.

The nature of COFDM modulation introduces an end-to-end PCR jitter that is larger than DVB ETR290 specification (< 500ns). The typical magnitude is around 1000ns; this will trigger alerts in an ETR290 monitor, but will in the vast majority of cases have no practical decoding implications.
