SIST EN 60728-5:2016

Cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services - Part 5: Headend equipment

This part of IEC 60728 specifies the characteristics of equipment used in the headends of terrestrial broadcast and satellite receiving systems (without satellite outdoor units and without those broadband amplifiers in the headend as described in IEC 60728-3). The satellite outdoor units for fixed satellite systems (FSS) are described in ETSI ETS 300 158, and for broadcast satellite systems (BSS) in ETSI ETS 300 249. Test methods for both types (FSS and BSS) of satellite outdoor units are laid down in ETSI ETS 300 457.
This part of IEC 60728
a) covers the frequency range 5 MHz to 3 000 MHz;
b) identifies performance requirements for certain parameters;
c) lays down data publication requirements for certain parameters;
d) stipulates methods of measurements;
e) introduces minimum requirements defining quality grades (Q-grades).
This part of IEC 60728 specifies the overall characteristics for upstream/downstream signals between external sources/sinks (for example, antennas, cable modem termination systems, etc.) and the system interface to the cable network. In the case of modular headend systems, single equipment items such as modulators, converters, etc. are also described. Cable modem termination systems, encrypters, decrypters, etc. are not described in this part of IEC 60728. If such equipment is used in headends, the relevant parameters for RF, video, audio and data interfaces should be met.
According to the definitions in 3.1, the headends are divided into the following three quality grades:
• Grade 1: central headend;
• Grade 2: hub headend or hubsite;
• Grade 3: MATV headend/individual reception headend.

Kabelnetze für Fernsehsignale, Tonsignale und interaktive Dienste - Teil 5: Geräte für Kopfstellen

Réseaux de distribution par câbles pour signaux de télévision, signaux de radiodiffusion sonore et services interactifs - Partie 5: Équipements de tête de réseau

L'IEC 60728-5:2015 spécifie les caractéristiques de l'équipement utilisé dans les têtes de réseaux pour la réception de la radiodiffusion terrestre et par satellite (à l'exception des unités extérieures et des amplificateurs large bande situés dans la tête de réseau tels que décrits dans l'IEC 60728-3). Elle:
- couvre la plage de fréquences de 5 MHz à 3 000 MHz;
- identifie les exigences de fonctionnement pour certains paramètres;
- spécifie les exigences relatives à la publication des données pour certains paramètres;
- stipule les méthodes de mesure;
- présente les exigences minimales définissant les classes de qualité (Q). Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2007. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette  édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- nouveau texte pour l'introduction suivant le domaine d'application de l'IEC TC 100/TA 5;
- introduction de l'IPTV au domaine d'application;
- spécification relative aux têtes de réseaux pour signaux TV numériques par voie terrestre conformément à la norme DVB-T2;

Kabelska omrežja za televizijske in zvokovne signale ter interaktivne storitve - 5. del: Oprema glavne sprejemne postaje

Ta del standarda IEC 60728 določa značilnosti opreme, ki se uporablja za glavne sprejemne postaje prizemnih radiodifuzijskih in satelitskih sprejemnih sistemov (brez zunanjih satelitskih enot in tistih širokopasovnih ojačevalnikov v glavni sprejemni postaji, kot so opisani v standardu IEC 60728-3). Zunanje satelitske enote za fiksne satelitske sisteme (FSS) so opisane v standardu ETSI ETS 300 158, tiste za radiodifuzijske satelitske sisteme (BSS) pa v standardu ETSI ETS 300 249. Preskusne metode za obe vrsti (fiksni in radiodifuzijski satelitski sistemi) zunanjih satelitskih enot so določene v standardu ETSI ETS 300 457.
Ta del standarda IEC 60728
a) zajema frekvenčno območje od 5 MHz do 3000 MHz;
b) opredeljuje zahteve glede učinkovitosti za določene parametre;
c) določa zahteve za objavo podatkov za določene parametre;
č) določa metode za merjenje;
d) uvaja minimalne zahteve, ki opredeljujejo kakovostne razrede (K-razredi).
Ta del standarda IEC 60728 določa splošne značilnosti signalov navzgornjega/navzdolnjega prenosa med zunanjimi viri/odtoki (npr. antene, sistemi zaključevanja kabelskih modemov itd.) ter sistemskim vmesnikom kabelskega omrežja. V primeru modularnih sistemov glavnih sprejemnih postaj so opisani tudi posamezni elementi opreme, kot so modulatorji, pretvorniki itd. Prekinitveni sistemi kabelskih modemov, kodirniki, dekodirniki itd. niso opisani v tem delu standarda IEC 60728. Če je takšna oprema uporabljena v glavnih sprejemnih postajah, morajo biti izpolnjeni ustrezni parametri za radiofrekvenčne, video, zvočne in podatkovne vmesnike.
V skladu z definicijami iz točke 3.1 so glavne sprejemne postaje razdeljene v naslednje tri kakovostne razrede:
• 1. razred: osrednja glavna sprejemna postaja;
• 2. razred: razdelilna glavna sprejemna postaja ali razdelilna postaja;
• 3. razred: glavna sprejemna postaja MATV/glavna sprejemna postaja za posamezni sprejem.
