1. DTH NILESAT INSTALLATION

First, position your dish, using whether a standard Universal LNBor the Legacy

output of a SATCR LNB. Then, plug the fixed lead on the 12V power supply into

the socket labelled DC 12V IN in the receiver. Tehn, plug the 2-way connector on

the supplied mains lead into the socket on the 12V power supply unit.And then,

connect the mains plug from the 12V power supply into a main wall socket.

Universal LNB

The use of a twin a LNB is required to connect the OSN HD PVR two tuners. The

leads are to be connected directly from the twin universal LNB to each one of the

tuner connectors labelled SAT IN1 and SAT IN2 on the OSN HD PVR.

Case of dual boxes installation HD PVR + HD Zapper

A use of a Quattro LNB is advised in this case and a third cable should be run

from the LNB to the second STB (HD Zapper). In case of multi-dishes installation

(see correspondent section below) the cable should be run form the third output

of the DiSEqC switch to the tuner input of the second STB (HD Zapper).

SATCR LNB

In case of SATCR LNB the use of all power pass

splitter is required.

The lead is to be connected directly from the SATCR

LNB to the input of the all power pass splitter. The

outputs of the splitter should be connected to each

of the tuner connectors labelled SAT IN1 and SAT

IN2 on the OSN HD PVR.

Make sure that the below 4

user bands are available for

each tuner input:

1210 MHz

1420 MHz

1680 MHz

2040 MHz

And select two different user

bands for each tuner and

save the settings.

Case of dual boxes installation HD PVR + HD Zapper

A use of a minimum three outputs of all power pass splitter is required.The lead

is to be connected directly from the SATCR LNB to the input of the all power

pass splitter. Two of the outputs of the splitter should be connected to each of

the tuner connectors of the OSN HD PVR. While the third output should be

connected to the input of the HD Zapper.

Given that you already installed the HD PVR as per the previous picture settings.For the HD Zapper select a new user band than the one selected for the HD

PVR.

Notes:

1. DVB-S2: Due t o th e Phase Noise issues with legacy old LNBs, use

of High gain Low Noise LNBs in edge o f footp rint is r ecommended .

2. Connect the STB to an HD TV using an HDMI cable. For a normal SD TV

use an RCA/cinch cable to connect the TV and the STB in CVBS mode or

Component mode.

3. For improved sound you can connect your receiver to a home cinema orHi-Fi system using the receiver's DIGITAL AUDIO connectors. For this you

will need a 75 ohm coaxial cable or a digital audio is compatible with Dolby

Digital Plus.

2. DTH MULTISATELLITE INSTALLATION

2.1 DiSEqC Requirements

This section will guide you through, how to setup the OSN HD PVR for

multi-network configuration using DiSEqCswitches.

Let's take an example of an installation having 3 Networks: Nilesat,

HotbirdandArabsat, correspondingly configured on DiSEqC 1, DiSEqC

2, and DiSEqC 3. The output of the DiSEqC switch should be

connected to the tuner connector labeled SAT IN of the OSN HD

Zapper.

2.2 LNB and DiSEqC setup

After the appropriate Outdoor Unit (ODU) installation has been done,

the OSN HD PVR should be configured for all the three networks. This

consists of matching the setup of the LNBs with the correspondent

DiSEqC ports. By default settings is matching the above given

installation example as per the illustration below.

Select "Channel List" to view and browse the

list of services.

Notes:

The OSN HD services are broadcasted on the Frequencies

10834 and 11278 V with Baud rate of 27500 KSymbol/sec and

FEC 2/3. Therefore having Low band Vertical frequencies is

required to receive OSN HD services.

The OSN HD IRD is not intended to be installed in Frequency

Shifted IF buildings. This will be made available for next phase of

software development.

By default, the OSN HD IRDs are installed with the default service

list that can notbe edited. Therefore we can use the Free-to-Air

scan functionality to add other third part services from Satellites

other than Nilesat.

Only provided OSN smartcard can be used with the OSN HD IRD

in the embedded smartcard slot.

CI-CAM slot is available only for Zapper and not for PVR.

Therefore no third part smartcard can be used on the PVR.

The installer should perform a site test at each location to determine

that all the services provided are listed at the levels required for

distribution (see below). Any service not found as a result of the site

test must be reported immediately to OSN Platform Technologyso that

an agreement may be made as to which services will be provided to the

customer.

3. INSTALLATION IN AN MDU / BUILDING

The installation shall supply at least four cable Integrated ReceptionSystem, comprising four cables providing individual IF Polarities,

through switching devices to a minimum of one position or at least with

two cables (with both polarities and bands) in each dwelling within the

buildings.

3.3 Signal lev els required in IF or cascaded

installations

All signal levels must comply with the maximum provided for by the

amplifiers installed or to be installed taking into account adequate

rating for the number of channels distributed and amplifiers in cascade

The maximum/minimum levels at each outlet position on the system are

as follows:

MAXIMUM

LEVEL

MINIMUM

LEVEL

Satellite

IF

Digital

77 dBV 52 dBV

The Satellite Digital frequencies require a minimum Carrier to

Noise ratio at the ou tlets of 9 dB.

Measurement of Carrier to Noise ratio shou ld be made against a

"noise floor" and not between transponders. The recommended

frequencies to set the noise floor are 1,970 MHz. in the low

band and 1,070 MHz. in the high band. Should a transponder

signal be present at these frequencies than the "noise floor"

frequency should be adjusted to avoid conflict.

Dishes should be aligned for maximum signal strength and carrier to

noise ratios. The LNB should be aligned so that the horizontal and

vertical transponders appear equal and give maximum rejection of the

opposite polarity, this is to avoid cross polarisation problems.

3.4 Amplifiers and Attenuators requirements

In case the signal is below 52 dBV, use an amplifier but the

amplified signal shou ld n ot e xceed 77 dBV.

In case the sig nal is above 77 dBV, then u se an attenuator o r a

splitter to reduce the signal level.

All amplifiers and distribution equipment shall be by an OSN certified

supplier, See appendix B for details.

All Equipment must be able to cope with the minimum and maximum

signal levels.

3.5 Multisw itch DC supply requirements

If the multiswitches are line powered from the HD IRD only, and

no other power supply is used, care must be taken to ensure


7/10

that the maximum current drawn, including the LNB, is less than

315 mA.

In case of using a Multi-switch, it should not have an insertion loss more

than 4-6dB.

In case of cascaded switch system, make sure that there is no return

DC voltage from the switch to the HD IRD tuner.

3.6 Cables requirements

All cables shall be manufactured to the relevant parts of SpecificationEN 50117.

All co-axial cables shall be sourced from a OSN certified supplier, see

appendix B for details.

RG-6 low loss coaxial cable should be used (Typical Loss 4-6

dB/100 m).

All coaxial cable shall have a nominal characteristic of 75 ohms and will

be suitable for the application concerned.

Within the head-end and network, the connection of the coaxial cable

will be via F-type and IEC connectors only. All F-connectors must be

crimped and IEC connectors should be of a professional design and

correctly made off. All connectors should be the correct size for the

cable used.

Avoid using cable join ters or passiv e spli tters to jo in cable s. It

is recommended to use a single cable as much as possible

without any joints / splits.

In case of unavoidable situations where you need to use

jo in ters it is adv isable to use Line Ampl ifi ers inst ead.

All accessories must conform to the requirements of CENELEC EN

50083.

All passive accessories will be 75 ohms. All satellite IF frequencies will

be connected using F-type connectors.

External equipment will be housed in suitable waterproof enclosures.

3.7 Test and Commissioning of the Installation

The installer has to supply a test and commissioning report, indicating

signals at the inputs and output of the main equipment and levelsreceived at the outlets. The installer will have to demonstrate to OSN

that the picture quality on all the services stated is good.

Test equipment must be accurate to within +/- 3dB and suitable for all

the services indicated. The minimum requirement is a spectrum

Analyser, a simple signal strength indicator is not sufficient.
