The various COFDM modulation parameters (number of carriers, constellation, FEC, guard interval) can be set
by the installer to make the system more efficient in critical installation conditions (for example lack of spurious,
several adjacent channels, transmission with errors,...).
IMPORTANT: in standard installation diagrams, we recommend keeping the COFDM modulation settings with
the default values (64-QAM constellation, 7/8 FEC, 1/32 guard interval). How you can see in the tables above,
the default settings guarantee a wider bandwidth.
The modulator programming must be done in order to make it as insensitive as possible to an increase of a
bitrate of one or more programs inserted queue in the output multiplex. The multiplex of the output programs
is organized according to a Last In First Out priority: the last inserted program in the queue is the first program
to be removed if it exceeds the maximum available bitrate threshold. The program's position in the list can be
modified at any moment through the proper TPE menu.
In the event of an overflow alarm, the module continues operating correctly by eliminating one or more programs,
starting with the one that has a lower priority (the first inserted program is the most protected one).
NOTE: carry out a complete reset of the output channel list before inserting other channels.
Programming should be done as follows:
1. reset the bitrate peaks from the TPE menu,
2. check the setting of the modulation parameters,
3. insert the programs in the output multiplex one at a time by inserting the measurement reading of the used
bitrate;
4. after inserting all the desired programs, make sure that the measurement of the used bitrate peak (available
from the TPE MEASUREMENTS menu) does not exceed the maximum available limit. We recommend directly
checking the available peak.
IMPORTANT: pay attention not to exceed the threshold of the maximum bitrate that varies according to the set
modulation parameters according to the tables shown before. In the event that the overflow event takes place,
the red LED in the front panel of the KSTT module flashes rapidly and an alarm FLAG is set in the TPE. This
alarm can be displayed and reset from the MEASUREMENTS menu of the programmer. Furthermore, one or
more programs are removed, starting from the one with the lowest priority. If one or more PIDs have been added
manually, the first action will be to remove them.
