  • Page 25: Overview

    Chapter 1 Getting Started Overview Introduction The PowerVu Plus Multiple Decryption Receiver (MDR) receives, demodulates, and decrypts multiple, PowerVu-encrypted MPEG-2/DVB digital programs delivered via satellite or DVB-ASI interface. You can also use the MDR to process transport streams without descrambling. If necessary, the received multiple program transport stream (MPTS) can be processed through PID dropping or PID remapping to suit various applications.

Move the pointer up and down to different streams. Make sure the PAT (PID 0) is routed to the transport outputs.
  • Page 101 Possible Output Configurations (continued) Connecting to Terayon CherryPicker Re-multiplexer We encourage you to use the DVB-ASI interface instead of DHEI for MDR/ CherryPicker interconnection due to the limited bandwidth and cabling requirements associated with DHEI interface. In the event where you choose CherryPicker equipped with DHEI inputs only, or no spare ASI input is available, note that Terayon supplies a number of DHEI cables with the CherryPicker.
  • Page 102 Possible Output Configurations (continued) 1. On the R21-Configuration menu, move the cursor to the Center Box and press SELECT. The R33-Map Menu is displayed where you can see the incoming and outgoing PID numbers. When in Prog Mode, you can see all the PIDs associated with a particular program.
  • Page 103 Possible Output Configurations (continued) Connecting to Motorola IRT Use this procedure if you want to select a number of programs from the MDR to form a 64QAM channel on an IRT directly. Setting up the MDR for PID-overlay Mode On the R21-Configuration Menu, select DHEI as outputs (R21-J). If the DHEI icon is red, it means that the output exceeds the 27 Mbps limit and you must reduce the number of programs routed to this particular output (R21-G).
  • Page 104 Possible Output Configurations (continued) 1. On the R21-Configuration menu, move the cursor to the ^ arrow above the center box R21-E, cycle through to the program requiring PID remapping, then press SELECT to enter the MAP Menu (R33). 2. Make sure the Mode Selection is Prog, so that PIDs associated with a particular program can be re-mapped.
  • Page 105 Possible Output Configurations (continued) Map Menu Setting up the IRT for PID-overlay mode 1. Tune the IRT to HITS 3 . 2. Create 12 services on the DAC so that the MPEG numbers are consecutive. 3. Create a channel map associated with the new digital services. 4.
