(Main)Satellite signal distribution over a single coaxial cable - Second generation
Satellite signal distribution over a single coaxial cable - Second generation
This Technical Specification describes: the system physical structure; the system control signals, which implement a set of messages using DiSEqC physical layer but not the DiSEqC message structure; the definition of identified configurations; the management of the potential collisions in the control signals traffic. Figure 1 illustrates the physical system configuration considered in this Technical Specification. Several satellite signal demodulators can receive signals from any of the input signal banks (Bank 1, Bank 2, Bank M, with M 256) of the LNB or the switch. The signals selected by the demodulators (or receivers) are transported via a single cable to these demodulators (Receiver 1, Receiver 2, Receiver N, with N 32). To achieve these single cable distributions, the Single Cable Interface (SCIF, likely embedded in a LNB or a Switch) features some specific functions and characteristics.

Ta tehnična specifikacija opisuje: – fizično sestavo sistema; – kontrolne signale sistema, ki uvedejo nabor sporočil s fizično plastjo DiSEqC, vendar ne s sestavo sporočil DiSEqC; – definicijo prepoznanih konfiguracij; – upravljanje potencialnih kolizij kontrolnih signalov. Slika 1 prikazuje konfiguracijo fizičnega sistema, ki jo obravnava ta tehnična specifikacija. Več demodulatorjev satelitskega signala lahko sprejema signale iz katerega koli vhodnega niza signalov (Niz 1, Niz 2, •••• Niz M, pri čemer je M ≤ 256) LNB ali stikala. Signali, ki jih izberejo demodulatorji (ali sprejemniki), se prenesejo prek enega kabla v te demodulatorje (Sprejemnik 1, Sprejemnik 2, •••• Sprejemnik N, pri čemer je N ≤ 32). Za doseganje teh porazdelitev enega kabla vmesnik SCIF (Single Cable Interface, ki je verjetno vdelan v LNB ali stikalo) vključuje nekatere posebne funkcije in karakteristike.

Introduction
In EN 61319-1:1996/A11:1999, the interfaces for the control and command of the devices
associated with the satellite receivers are described in the following clauses:
Clause 4: Interfaces requirements for polarizer and polar switchers;
Clause 5: Interfaces requirements for low-noise block converters (LNB).
In these clauses, analogue techniques are described for controlling the LNB and polar switchers.
TM
In the DiSEqC Bus Functional Specification, the “Digital Satellite Equipment Control Bus” (called
DiSEqC) is introduced as a single method of communication between the satellite and the
peripheral equipment, using only the existing coaxial cables. The existing EN 50494 “Satellite signal
distribution over a single coaxial cable in single dwelling installations” describes a system for
distributing signals via single coaxial cable issued from different bands and polarisations to several
satellite receivers This specification is limited to 8 units per output of the Single Cable Interface and
to 8 Satellite IF banks (bands, feeds, polarisations).
The second generation described in this Technical Specification is intended for single and multiple
dwelling installations and includes the following enhancements compared to EN 50494:
The number of demodulators is extended to a maximum of 32 units per output of the Single
Cable Interface (hereafter referred to as SCIF) device.
The system is scaled for a maximum number of 256 Satellite IF banks (bands, feeds,
polarisations)
The SCIF replies, which may be used during installation process, are also based on DiSEqC.
Equipment according to this Technical Specification is downwards compatible to the
specifications provided by EN 50494.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes:
the system physical structure;
the system control signals, which implement a set of messages using DiSEqC physical layer but
not the DiSEqC message structure;
the definition of identified configurations;
the management of the potential collisions in the control signals traffic.
Figure 1 illustrates the physical system configuration considered in this Technical Specification.
Several satellite signal demodulators can receive signals from any of the input signal banks
(Bank 1, Bank 2, ⋅⋅⋅⋅ Bank M, with M ≤ 256) of the LNB or the switch. The signals selected by the
demodulators (or receivers) are transported via a single cable to these demodulators (Receiver 1,
Receiver 2, ⋅⋅⋅⋅ Receiver N, with N ≤ 32).
To achieve these single cable distributions, the Single Cable Interface (SCIF, likely embedded in a
LNB or a Switch) features some specific functions and characteristics.
