Differences
Example- Currently channel 1 (HSE) is active- Output channel for timer controlled switchover is K25- Sonnenklar-TV will be switched ON and HSE24 will be switched OFF at 20:00 hrs..
activated channel
Only the active channel has to be selected for this configuration. No further entries necessary.
This time controlled switchover allows to change/ switchover programs of different levels within one modulewithout an additional RF switch.
Switching condition channel 2 “ON”:Program = Sonnenklar TV
Output frequency = 503.25 MHz (K25)
Switching condition channel 1”ON”:Program = HSEOutput frequency = 503.25 MHz (K25)

Further information for timer configuration
RF signal: This parameter is only available at the 1st selection box. Not all modules support this configuration. This can be done only if the respective module supports switching/ selection of the RF signal (see page 18).
Accept: This function is only available at the 8th selection box. The adjustments of the input parameters will be overtaken without a reset (see table at page 20).
Color bar: When color bar is ON then datas will be sent to the module and the color bar will be switched off. The switchoff of the color bar can be done with manual programming but also via via PC/ laptop. Level adjustments can be done via “Head end overview (button)” by selecting the button “Output attenuation”.
Following configurations have to be done.

3.5.9 Additional NIT datasIt‘s possible to distribute additional NIT datas of other BLANKOM systems (e.g. Profi 800 series) or systems of other providers together with the NIT datas of the B-LINE and C-LINE head end systems.
3.5.9.1 DVB-C NIT datas
Values of output frequency, modulation and QAM symbol rate are known. The transport stream ID and original network ID can be determined with the QPSK/ QAM transmodulators or by a measuring instrument.
The following software versions (or higher) are necessary for the transmodu-lators/ modulators:
STB 606 V5.06STB 607 V1.15AMB 206 V1.15CTB 206 V1.15STB 006 V1.09
Note following order:
� Clear table � Read NIT datas of head end � check, correct/ add and store datas (transmit) � Distribute NIT � Ready
Copy of table
� No, table will be copied to the next HCB x00 � Yes, table will be copied from the first free position into the next HCB x00 � IP addresses of the target HCB x00 � Execute
