Differences
Switching condition channel 2 “ON”: Switching condition channel 1”ON”:

Program = Sonnenklar TV Program = HSE
Output frequency = 503,25 MHz (K25) Output frequency = 503,25 MHz (K25)
Example
- Currently channel 1 (HSE) is activ
- 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 module

It is possible to distribute additional NIT - datas of other BLANKOM systems (e.G Profi-800 series)
or systems of other providers togehter with the NIT - datas of the B-LINE & C-LINE headend systems.
This functionality has to be activated with the

“Configuration” of the HCB 100.
- A table for 32 manual entries is available then.
The values for output frequency, modulation and

QAM - Symbol rate of the channels are known.
The Transport stream- ID and Original Network - ID
can be determined with the QPSK / QAM Transmodulators
STB 606 / 607 or STC 696 / 697 or with a respective
measurement device.
“ONLY“ additional NIT - data distribution (static)

“ON” ... Only entered datas will be written into the
NIT - Table
“OFF” ... Only datas from connected
QAM-Transmodulators and entered datas
will be written into the NIT - Table
“Load NIT file from HCB 100”

- Datas from connected QAM-Transmodultors will be
read out and then adopted into the table
“Delete”
- All entered datas will be deleted and the table
backspaced into delivery status
