Terrestrial Transport Protocols
The demodulator/modulator is compatible with TM1449 transfer of MPEG-2 data signals
in the standardized transport layer format. The demodulator/modulator also supports DBS
(DBS-PS-007) no framing (187 bytes) format modes (Table A-14).
Table A-15 summarizes the primary characteristics of each transport protocol. The
SDM-2020 was designed to comply with these primary interface standards, however;
custom interfaces can be supported as outlined in the data transfer modes definition
section of this document.
