GSs purpose is to provide support for HamTV video reception from International Space Station (ISS) in
the S-band frequency range.
In the following table a list of the equipment (HAMTV GS baseline configuration) is presented:
Each Ground Station will be operated independently from each other and will be equipped with a
video capturing device (example ???) that allows internet streaming of the ISS video transmission,
details will be described in “Internet Streaming” chapter of this manual.
Each Ground Station will operate as a receive-only (R/O) terminal i.e. the station can receive,
demodulate and record data transmitted in the S-band (2360 - 2450 MHz).
The antenna used for data reception consists of an offset focus system with azimuth and elevation
mount; it is capable of program controlled operation, however manual capability as backup solution is
foreseen as well.
The station equipment needs, as a rough indication, a commercial electrical power aggregate of
approximately 1000W.

The above figure shows in which way a “one turn and a half” Azimuth range is mapped onto 0˜ : 360˜
interval. The figure also shows, as an example, how the Sun angular position of 135°, in the example
figure 13 showed in green, corresponds to 90˜ and to 330˜.
1. The following procedure MUST be executed at daytime, early in the morning, with the Sun at
the lowest elevation that can be seen from the station.
2. Run Orbitron software, previously configured for the specific location of the receiving station,
and set it to track the Sun (“Rotor/Radio” tab) – see figure 7.
3. Set the rotator “Combi-Track” control box in “Absolute Mode”, by switching-on the “Combi-
Track” with the MENU key pressed until the display shows “ABSOLUTE mode …”.
4. Run “Tera Term” terminal and set it in order to communicate with rotator “Combi-Track”.
Please check that the connection is working.
6. Adjust antenna Azimuth using or and Elevation using or in order to direct the
antenna beam toward the Sun. Accurate Sun pointing has to be checked by maximizing the
reading of Noise-Power-Meter. Keep visual control of the antenna during this operation, to be
sure that cables are properly moving.
7. As fast as possible read on Orbitron display (“Rotor/Radio” tab) both Azimuth and Elevation of
the Sun. Let’s call them SUN_AZ and SUN_EL, respectively. Annotate these values including
one decimal digit.
8. Compute the following value: ER_SUN_AZ = SUN_AZ x 20/3. Annotate it without including any
decimal digit.
9. Compute the following value: D_SUN_EL = SUN_EL x 10. Annotate it without including any
decimal digit.

12. As fast as possible read on Orbitron display (“Rotor/Radio” tab) Azimuth angle of the Sun. Let’s
call it SUN_AZ_2. Annotate this value including one decimal figure.
13. Compute the following value: ER_SUN_AZ_2 = SUN_AZ_2 x 20/3 + 2400. Annotate it without
including any decimal digit.
15. Switch-off the “Combi-Track”, if desired. When you switch it on again, repeat the step #3 (set it
in Absolute Mode).
16. Let the Sun elevation reaches the highest value (after few hours if in Northern hemisphere, or
during the following day if in Southern hemisphere).
17. Whit the “Combi-Track” in Absolute Mode, adjust antenna Azimuth using or and
Elevation using or in order to direct the antenna beam toward the Sun. Accurate Sun
pointing has to be checked by maximizing the reading of Noise-Power-Meter. Keep visual
control of the antenna during this operation, to be sure that cables are properly moving.
18. As fast as possible read on Orbitron display (“Rotor/Radio” tab) the Elevation of the Sun. Let’s
call SUN_EL_2. Annotate this value including one decimal digit.

A correct calibration of “Combi-Track” will produce a yellow trace similar to the one in figure 18,
where some comments have been added in red, blues and withe colors.
Should the yellow trace have its maximum value not at offsets “0°”, but at a different value (let say +6°
for the Azimuth and -2° for the Elevation), this means that an offset correction has to be added to
WispDDE. To do that open again the WispDDE menu Settings > Rotor and type the offsets as
highlighted by the red circle in the following figure. Save and close.
Repeat the check with Noise Power Measurement software. If the yellow trace now appears with its
maxima at 0° offsets then the calibration is completed. Please note that WispDDE store in its internal
register the offset you have just indicated. It is not necessary to set them every time that WispDDE is
launched.

It is necessary to use a cable with 3 RCA pin jack (yellow red and white) on both sides, to connect
MEGASAT decoder to EasyCAP device. Alternatively a SCART / RCA pin jack adapteur can be used (see
figures below).
It is not generally requested to install the software included with this product, as the device is
recognized by the most recent PCs. However if it is not seen by Adobe’s Flash Media Live Encoder,
then it is necessary to install the software which also loads the drivers into the PC.
A very useful program to run the streaming service is Adobe's Flash Media Live Encoder (V3.2) which
can be downloaded from the web.

ARISS - HAMTV PROJECT Document: HAMTV-GS 01
In general it is sufficient to run Adobe's Flash Media Live Encoder (V3.2) software, to connect the
Capture devices (EasyCAP) to set up the characteristics of the capture device on Adobe’s program, to
indicate the URL of the streaming provider and the streaming on the web can be started.
Before downloading Adobe's Flash Media Live Encoder (V3.2) it is requested to create an Adobe
account. (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fmle3)
The installation of the software is rather simple. After then, when the program is running it is
necessary to provide information on the left hand side of the screen concerning the Capture device
and on the right hand side of the screen concerning the URL for the streaming.
Connect the decoder to EasyCAP through a 3 RCA pins cable and plug it into a USB port on the PC.
For preliminary tests it is necessary that a signal is received by the decoder, therefore a satellite dish
which is pointed to a broadcasting satellite should be used. Alternatively a DVD player can be used as
source of the signal for testing the video capture of EasyCAP.
If the device is connected and no imagine is seen in the upper part of the screen, it means that the
device is not recognized by Adobe software or it is necessary to set up its parameters.
In this case flag on “Video” box on the left hand side of the screen and select “OEM Device” on
“Device” box. If “OEM Device” do not appear, it means that EasyCAP is not recognized by Adobe
Encoder and it is necessary to install EasyCAP with the CD provided with it. When “OEM device” is
selected then open the Setting menu and in the “Decoder video” window select “PAL-G”

After then the images should appear on the upper part of the screen.
Then flag on “audio” box and select “OEM Device”. This is sufficient for audio settings.
In addition the “Input Size” should be selected to 720x576 to maintain the same screen size of the
original video format.
Bit rate and resolution can be put to whatever is required. The video capture device generally sets the
resolution and most streams run at around 500Kbit/s to accommodate poor DSL lines at the client end.
All streams are set for 4:3 ratio but this can be changed to 16:9.
In order to set up the streaming parameters enter the “FMS URL” and “Stream” Id in the right hand
side panel. HAMTV Project has been assigned by BATC, five accounts to be used by the ISS ground
stations in the chained configuration. For ISS5, used as an example in this description, are:
Stream: 78593ffg
Click ”connect” and then click “Start”, on a green field, to start the streaming.
When everything is working it is possible to read on the last line “Encoding to file and Streaming to
Primary…”.

The sweep is done by drifting the antenna pattern in 10 degrees step. Also refer to Figure 18.
The interface is straightforward, in figure 30 it shows that Techno Trend TT S2 3200 is installed and
controlled, on the top right corner current frequency and offset are visible.
To run measurements just click on RUN button and the yellow trace will scroll from right to left, to
clear the main window just click CLEAR Button.
To provide voltage to the LNB 13V or 18V radio button must be selected, 0V equals to OFF.
If 0V is selected most probably the yello trace will be a straight line.
The four frequencies which are shown on the top of the interface are the HamTV selected frequencies,
it is possible to quicky perform measurement at different frequencies by pressing the desidered
button.
Power level is to be considered as a pure indication since the system is not calibrated against a
reference equipment. In practice, the value showed are quite close to the one measured with
professional equipment.
