1 Introduction This Product specification document provides a complete specification of an S-A Broadcast Set-top for a DVB environment. The EXPLORER Z65/Z75DVB Digital Home Communication Terminal (DHCT) supports digital services delivered over a hybrid fiber/coax network. The set-top tuner tunes broadcast digital services only. Analog services are not processed in this terminal, they are bypassed from RF input to the RF output of the set-top w/o processing. UHF modulated output is combined with the RF Bypass when the set-top is in operational ON mode. The Explorer Z75DVB has a 10/100 base T Ethernet output that allows it to be connected to an external modem to allow interactive services such as Video-On-Demand (VOD). The EXPLORER Z65/75DVB DHCT serves varied hardware and software requirements in the PAL markets. The design accommodates the following hardware options:

2.2 Software Summary The SET-TOP software is programmed in the factory into the set-top Flash memory. The set-top leaves the factory with a code, which at minimum consists of a Bootloader and an application program. The application program will vary for different production batches and at minimum allows for: • Tuning of the “Free-to-Air” i.e. non-scrambled digital programs that exist on a given network, • Set-up screens for the terminal • Basic terminal diagnostics (hidden from the user, available for an authorized technician)

Bootloader Code allows the set-top to be downloaded with the operating software at the time of the installation of the terminal, when the Digital Head-End provides a download spooler with a new software version. Otherwise, the terminal will operate with the software which was programmed in the Flash in the factory. The Bootloader also allows subsequent software upgrades based on the CVT (code version table) mechanism. Optionally, the Bootloader Code can be locked in the first segment of the Flash. Locking of the Bootloader in the factory requires specific authorization from S-A. The application and operating system software in the set-top can be upgraded over the HFC network.

2.2.2 Bootloader The bootloader code is a set of procedures that is executed directly from the settop reset. This code contains simple checkup and recovery procedures, ensuring basic equipment operation even when the rest of the box software is corrupted or missing. The bootloader code is intended to be located at the physical beginning of the Flash. All current flash parts have sectored architecture that allows erasing and programming of individual sectors. The bootloader module is assumed to fit into the first sector (16K) and the 5th sector (64K) of flash in the Explorer Z65/75DVB..These sectors have the ability to be locked out. This lock out feature allows placing of important configuration data and the recovery program in these sectors, thereby protecting against accidental erasure. Refer to document number 7005950, Explorer 100DVB Bootloader Design document for more detailed information on the bootloader. The following is a high-level block diagram that shows how the bootloader is currently designed:
