Hey all,
Continuing my trend of buying really old analog satellite scrambling gear... I've picked up an old Crestel CP100 "Matsushita Satpak" decoder.
There's a pretty good article in an old 1989 issue of Elektor about how the scrambling scheme works - but I need to figure out how to wire the decoder up. Has anyone kept the manual for theirs? (long shot I know!)
It's got a 5-pin DIN socket, a "B.B. Selection, PAL/MAC" switch, and a "B. B. Attenuation" pot accessible from the back. From the front, there's a "Auto"/"Man" switch and a "Decoding" LED.
As you might have guessed, I'm toying with adding support to the HackTV transmission software - that is, unless Captain Jack beats me to it...
Cheers
Phil.
