Anyone considering building a new house will have heard someone mention
structured cabling or smart wiring, and how important it is to be able to use
the technologies available to us, and be prepared for those that are just around
the corner.
The Hills Home Hub delivers and distributes data, phone, video, audio and TV
signals using the latest in data and TV cables from a centrally located enclosure
to specially configured wall outlets in any room of your choice. Structured
cabling using the Hills Home Hub is preferably planned at the same time as
your electrical wiring. The central enclosure is home to the devices that enable
the delivery and distribution of these signals. It also houses
the security system central controller.** An ideal location for the central enclosure
is a garage or utility room.
Future Planning
It is important to plan in which rooms you would like to access data, phone,
video, audio and TV. This planning is important to you now and to future
owners of your home because it adds flexibility and value. The use of a room
could change over time. A nursery now will become a teenager's bedroom,
and possibly a study or home office in the future. In order to access or share
these signals, cables along with wall outlets, containing standard data and TV
entertainment points need to be installed.
Computer Network
Anyone can access the internet via a centralised server modem to
surf the net from any computer in the home. A web page like
www.hillshomehub.com.au can be selected to print. The signal
travels via the Hills Home Hub cables, through the central enclosure,
and the page you have selected will be waiting for you at the
printer in your home office.
Multi-Room Entertainment
Keep all your video equipment in the one location with the Hills smart
entertainment system and enjoy multi-room viewing and
controlling of your DVD, pay TV and VCR on any television in your
home. Once you have selected the pre-programmed channel for your
DVD player, use your remote control to activate the PLAY function.
The infrared signal travels via the Hills Home Hub cables, through
the central enclosure, through the Hills modulator, to the DVD player
in your entertainment area. The DVD will then send the movie back
to the TV that you're watching. The Hills smart entertainment system
allows you to control the functions of your VCR, DVD, or pay TV
remotely, in any room where there's a TV.
Distributed Music
Enjoy superior stereo sound in any room of your home with the Hills
Home Music wall or ceiling mounted speakers. A CD player in your
home entertainment area sends music signals via the Hills Home
Hub cables, through the central enclosure to the rooms in which the
speakers are located. Set the volume level independently in each
room using the volume control.
Headend Configurations
The configuration of any headend will vary greatly depending on the individual requirements of the customer and the specification
of the installation. The following headend configurations are given as a guide only, the actual headend configuration will be
decided by the designer based on the information supplied.
Astro is a high-end headend equipment manufacturer from Germany; Hills Industries is the exclusive agent and distributor for
Astro in Australia. The Astro Headend equipment provides effective satellite TV distribution suited to a variety of applications.
Astro is the only headend approved by Austar and Foxtel.
Astro QAM
The main modules sold by Hills Industries for the Astro headends are the QPSK to QAM transmodulators. These modules convert
digital satellite signals into digital cable channels for distribution within an 860 MHz distribution network. The digital satellite
signals could originate from different satellites in different orbital positions and be received by multiple satellite dishes. These
received services could include Subscription – TV operators such as Foxtel / AUSTAR, SelecTv, Jadeworld, UBI or MySat. Once
converted into digital cable (QAM) signals they can then be injected into old or new MATV / CATV networks that are only designed
up to 860MHz.
QAM operates at frequencies between 47 and 862 MHZ and unlike satellite signals (QPSK) that operate at frequencies up to
2GHZ QAM does not require amplifiers and passives to be upgraded. QAM does not require multiple trunks or backbones or
multiple lateral cables to be run to the wall plate so that set top boxes for Foxtel IQ or AUSTAR Mystar have full functionality. The
simpler network topology and the lower cost of passive devices and amplifiers quickly recover the headend cost.
The Astro headend utilising QPSK to QAM conversion is ideally suited to Brownfield sites where upgrading distribution cable is
not practicable such as apartments, office towers, sporting venues, shopping centres, hospitals, caravan parks and prisons. The
Astro solution is also well suited for Greenfield estates or any other network only capable of passing up to 860MHz.
One of the Astro equipment’s main selling points is the remote monitoring facility and their software management tool. This
makes the Astro equipment ideal for headends that may be installed in remote locations and which integrators wish to control
and maintain remotely. The software allows spare modules in the base unit to be turned on and off or reconfigured as desired.
The Astro equipment can send different types of alarms via SNMP or GSM to warn of failures of any type within the headend.
Astro Terrestrial
Polytron is a respected Headend manufacturer and supplier from Germany. Hills Industries are the agents for Polytron in the
Oceanic region. The main strengths for Polytron are the small physical size of the base unit and the range of plug in modules that
cater for digital satellite, analogue and digital terrestrial and FM applications. A Polytron headend is the perfect solution when
you have the need to amplify, convert, modulate and filter out unwanted channels and then combine the wanted services ready
for distribution into a network.
The base unit (SPM1000 digi) is a 10-slot device that can be either wall or rack mounted. At only 5RU high (180mm) the SPM1000
base unit is the most popular base unit sold. It comes standard with power supply, 10dB amplifier and control panel to program
any of plug in modules that can be installed in the frame. The base unit’s software can be easily upgraded by fitting a replacement
EPROM that lies under the front control panel cover. The base unit combines all the RF outputs of each module via a back plane
and provides an output on the front panel as well as a test point which is 20dB down from the main output.
Where the satellite TV services use an encryption method other than Irdeto it is necessary to use multiple set top boxes to
provide the AV signal source to feed to the Polytron modulators.
Polytron Satellite
Satellite modules include a twin QPSK – AV with CI card (SPM-PSTI) with the ability to insert a conditional access module and
smart card to work with operators such as Optus Aurora and AUSTAR or other services using Irdeto encryption. This card is used
to convert two digital FTA satellite signals from one satellite transponder into two baseband signals ready to insert into a twin
modulator card. Both types could be used in headend installation to provide a superior solution rather than using a domestic set
top box (STB) to receive the desired FTA or encrypted signals.
Polytron Headend using modulation cards only. Polytron Headend using Foxtel decoders &
modulation cards

Polytron Terrestrial
Polytron Modulators
Polytron is a perfect choice when in-house services need to be reticulated throughout a structured network. These in-house
services could be from any baseband source such as VCR’s, DVD’s, PC, CCTV, Set top boxes or text generators with a 1Volt peak-
peak output. All the Polytron modulators in the range are VSB, which in turn means there are capable of adjacent channels.
For example you can set the outputs on channels 30,31,32,33… Modulators in range start from the twin mono version (SPM-
MMTQ) then the twin stereo version (SPM-MSTQ) to the new 4 - channel stereo version. This new modulator (SPM-MS4) module
contains 4 x RF modulators on a single card and hence with a fully loaded base unit and ten x SPM-MS4 cards you have 40 x
stereo VSB TV channels in a 5RU housing.
