Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the reception of multiple satellite levels, in particular of multiple satellites by multiple receivers or subscribers, and more particularly to methods of connecting multiple subscribers to multiple satellite levels, particularly multiple satellites, as well as a satellite receiving facility for connecting multiple subscribers to multiple satellite levels, in particular several satellites.
  • US 7,010,265 B2 describes a satellite receiving system in which a plurality of signals can each be received by a plurality of satellites, wherein the received signals are distributed via a switch to a plurality of tuner-demodulator units. The resulting streams are then forwarded to demultiplexers for selection of individual programs. In a manner which is conventional in itself, as is regularly found in such headends, the selection is controlled only after the satellite signals have passed through a highly complex switching matrix.
  • Satellite signals are generally in four SAT levels, differentiated by frequency band and polarization.
  • the desired SAT level must be selected and supplied at the output of the SAT converter (LNB), for example via a satellite switching matrix.
  • the switching matrix is to be configured by control signals of the demodulator, via DiSEqC command which is transmitted via the respective RF line.
  • NIMs receiving units
  • each NIM must be supplied with its own signal line from the SAT switching matrix. If NIMs in the number n are used, then n signal lines between the matrix and the NIMs are also required.
  • the desired reception frequency is set by the demodulator on the tuner. After demodulation of the RF signal, the demodulator provides at its output a digital MPEG transport stream (MPEG-TS).
  • MPEG-TS digital MPEG transport stream
  • the control of the NIMs is, as I said, by a (central) device controller.
  • the controller evaluates available information about the channel assignment of the satellite to be received or the desired reception frequency.
  • Each NIM in turn communicates on the RF signal line (e.g., via DiSEqC) with the switch matrix to tell it which satellite plane on its signal line needs to be individually powered up.
  • the respective signal line carries the entire frequency band and thus all transponders of the connected satellite level. If several satellites are to be received simultaneously, the principle of selection remains unchanged. Only the complexity of the SAT switching matrix increases since now at least eight input signal lines must be processed internally.
  • NIM 2 captures the "HH" plane of the second satellite, which is essentially the same as the system described in US 7,010,265 B2.
  • FBC receiver type 1
  • NIM receiving units
  • FIG. 1 A corresponding block diagram is shown in FIG.
  • the integrated module (FBC receiver, type 1) digitizes the input spectra of the four adjacent SAT levels and outputs them, according to internal signal processing, as digital baseband transport streams, currently numbering eight.
  • the selection process is very similar to discrete NIM 's .
  • the FBC receiver (type 1) is controlled by a (central) device controller. For this purpose, the controller evaluates available information about the channel assignment of the satellite to be received or the desired reception frequencies.
  • Each FBC module in turn communicates on the RF signal line (eg via DiSEqC command) with the switching matrix in order to inform it which satellite levels must be individually switched on its signal lines.
  • DiSEqC command e.g via DiSEqC command
  • NIMs single-cable receivers
  • a fixed assignment (pairing) of single-cable receivers (NIMs) and a fixed output frequency assigned to the receiver of the single-cable matrix is taken to enable independent operation of the individual receivers.
  • the tuner of each NIM always remains constant in its reception frequency, in contrast to the first example.
  • the controller in the single-cable receiver (receiver) evaluates available information on the channel assignment of the satellite to be received or the desired program.
  • Each single-cable NIM in turn communicates on the HF signal line via DiSEqC in accordance with the single-cable standard with the single-cable matrix in order to tell it which transponder from the adjacent satellite levels must be individually switched on at its receiving frequency.
  • FIG. 14 out of 24 possible output transponders are shown. Receive the receiver frequency pairings 1 - 4 (eg RTL); 5 - 6 (eg Tele 5); 7 - 9 (eg ARD) and 10 - 14 (eg BBC) the same transponder.
  • 1 - 4 eg RTL
  • 5 - 6 eg Tele 5
  • 7 - 9 eg ARD
  • 10 - 14 eg BBC
  • the output spectrum of 950-2150 MHz contains 14 out of 24 possible transponders.
  • Transponders which are present only once at the input of FBC type 2 occur theoretically at the output depending on the program request of the single-cable receiver up to 24 times with identical content but different frequency.
  • DiSEqC DiSEqC as the communication standard between the receivers (NIMs, single-cable receivers or FBC type 1).
  • the DiSEqC signals are transmitted on the HF lines.
  • Switching matrices are an essential feature of the known methods that are always switched on the signal lines to the receivers (NIM 's FBC type 1) complete satellite levels without changing the original content, and the selection of the desired transponder in the receivers (NIMs FBC Type 1). If a type 2 FBC module is used according to the single-cable standard, transponders at its inputs, depending on the program request of the single-cable receiver, are also shown several times at the output.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a method for connecting a plurality of subscribers to a plurality of satellite levels, in particular of a plurality of satellites, and a satellite receiving system for connecting a plurality of subscribers to a plurality of satellite subscribers. provide more satellite planes, in particular from multiple satellites, in which the need for switch matrix is reduced.
  • the invention proposes a method for connecting a plurality of subscribers to multiple satellite levels, in particular of multiple satellites, in which received signals from a respective satellite are selectively converted into a multiplexed signal based on requirements such that frequency ranges corresponding to requests in sequence (with or without unused frequency ranges), and frequency ranges which do not correspond to requirements are not present therein, and in which a conversion of the multiplexed signals thus obtained takes place in each case one frequency band corresponding MPEG transport stream which is provided to one or more subscribers.
  • Requirements are usually programmed by an administrator of the headend for this, depending on which programs so transponder or frequency ranges to the participant, so the end user to be made available or are requested or requested. The requirements are thus defined during commissioning and then only rarely, for example, when new transponders have been awarded, or participants wish to receive previously unused programs.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to significantly reduce the need for switch matrix, which is particularly advantageous, since HF signals of up to 2150 MHz are to be handled here. As a result, complex requirements with regard to decoupling measures to be undertaken are likewise reduced. Especially when receiving satellite planes that are on different satellites, this effect becomes even clearer.
  • the invention provides a two-fold conversion, wherein the two conversion steps should be coordinated with each other. First, the satellite signals are converted in a first step under a suitable specification in a specific multiplexed signal, which is subsequently converted again in coordination with the multiplexing process in order to form corresponding MPEG transport streams.
  • the concept is ultimately based on a preselection of the frequency ranges to be received, corresponding to transponders that correspond to a request, ie have been programmed by the administrator based on which programs the subscribers or receivers want, may or should.
  • the method thus provides a preselection in such a way that frequency ranges which do not correspond to any transponder to be received are not further considered and converted at all. For example, they may be transponders that contain encrypted signals for which no key is available, or for transponders that contain signals about a program in a language that is not supported (-> desired / needed), etc.
  • frequency compression is performed, with only the frequency ranges of concern being further discussed. Only these are then finally implemented in another conversion process in the desired MPEG streams.
  • Ordering in a row can arrange both the relevant frequency ranges in an ordered and a disordered sequence, with or without gaps.
  • An arrangement having a frequency structured configuration may be advantageous, although this is not as compelling as the fact that the sequence should be continuous.
  • an initial startup should attempt to provide a frequency structured configuration.
  • the terminology of a sequence used in the present application thus includes any arrangement of used and unused frequency ranges, and in advantageous embodiments frequency-structured configurations may be preferred.
  • it remains essential that information about the arrangement of the sequence and the further conversion of the multiplexed signals thus obtained in each case in a frequency range corresponding MPEG transport stream is taken into account.
  • the multiplexed signal conversion ie the first conversion step or the frequency division multiplexing, includes a frequency range selection and sorting step.
  • optimized sequences can be configured according to requirements. For example, it is possible to convert all (relevant) transponders of up to 4 satellite levels, for example from one or more satellites, into a sequence or a multiplexed line in order to place it on only one input for the further conversion step (eg of FBC type 1) , Thus, with less required inputs, more satellite levels can be handled.
  • a selection step also allows compression as unneeded or free frequency ranges do not require bandwidth.
  • a sorting method can be used with gapless filling of frequency ranges, which advantageously leads to lower power consumption (of the components) in a simpler control / configuration for converting the multiplexed signals, eg resulted in type 1 blocks.
  • the conversion of the multiplexed signals takes place in accordance with the frequency range selection and sorting step.
  • the second conversion step there is thus a decoding.
  • the two conversion steps can thus be carried out in a particularly coordinated manner, for example by using a common controller, which carries out the arrangement in sequence and can accordingly carry out or control the conversion of the multiplexed signals

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de relier plusieurs dispositifs utilisateurs à plusieurs niveaux de satellite, en particulier de plusieurs satellites, procédé selon lequel des signaux reçus sont convertis de manière sélective, sur la base de requêtes, dans chaque cas en un signal multiplex par un satellite respectif, de sorte que des plages de fréquences qui répondent aux requêtes figurent en ordre successif (en multiplexage par répartition de fréquence) et que des plages de fréquences qui ne répondent pas à des requêtes de dispositifs utilisateurs ne sont pas comprises dedans. Selon ce procédé encore, une conversion des signaux multiplex ainsi obtenus intervient dans un flux de transport MPEG correspondant à une plage de fréquences qui est mis à disposition d'un ou de plusieurs dispositifs utilisateurs. L'invention concerne également un système de réception satellitaire destiné à relier plusieurs dispositifs utilisateurs à plusieurs niveaux de satellite, en particulier de plusieurs satellites, conçu et défini pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé selon l'invention. Le système de réception satellitaire comprend : au moins deux convertisseurs analogique/numérique/analogique pour fournir les signaux multiplex respectifs et au moins un convertisseur analogique/numérique qui reçoit au moins un, de préférence tous les signaux multiplex, et fournit les flux de transport MPEG respectifs. Les convertisseurs respectifs se présentent avantageusement sous forme de modules FBC de type 2 et FBC de type 1.
