Typical Satellite System The RX8000 Series Receiver is a component of the MPEG-4 AVC/ MPEG-2/DVB compliant range of Ericsson equipment. They are designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video, audio and data Services over satellite. Figure 1.1 Typical Satellite Compression System 1.3.2...
Chapter 1 1.3.3 What the Satellite Receiver Does The Receiver can be tuned to a specified satellite channel frequency and polarization. The input is down-converted via a Low-Noise Block (LNB) to provide an L-band input to the Receiver. The front-end tuning is microprocessor controlled with a frequency synthesized local oscillator.
1.4.1 Typical Decoder System The Decoder is a component of Ericsson range of equipment. It is designed for use by broadcasters and distributors of video and audio Services. It can be used as a Transport Stream monitor or to decode signals received over a telecommunications network.
Chapter 1 The Decoder is configured to select a single video Service and other audio/data components from the multiple Services on the incoming Transport Stream and present them at the output. Figure 1.4 Role of the Decoder Note: G.703 input may also be used to interface to telco infrastructure. Construction The RX8000 Receiver is constructed using a screened self-ventilated modular system.

If the receiver has been subject to a lightning strike or power surge which has stopped it working, disconnect the power immediately. Do not re-apply power until it has been checked for safety. If in doubt, contact Ericsson Customer Services. EN/LZT 790 0005 R1A...
When taking delivery of a RX8000 Series Receiver check the equipment items delivered against the enclosed delivery note. Inspect the equipment for damage in transit. If in doubt, contact Ericsson Customer Services (see Preliminary Pages). Note: Do not remove the covers of this equipment as doing so may invalidate any warranties, cause a safety hazard and/or affect the EMC performance.
Chapter 2 2.3.2 Ventilation 2.3.2.1 Openings in the Covers Side openings in the unit, as well as side-mounted cooling fans, are provided for ventilation. They ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from overheating. The openings of the fans must not be blocked or covered. Air is released through vents at the side of...
Chapter 2 2.3.3 Installing Cables - Safety Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cables at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. Do not run AC power cables in the same duct as signal leads.
Chapter 2 Warnings! The RX8000 series receivers should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type to your business, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
This unit must be correctly earthed through the molded plug supplied; if the local mains supply does not have an earth conductor do not connect the unit. Contact Ericsson Customer Services for advice. Before connecting the unit to the supply, check the supply requirements in Annex B.
Chapter 2 2. Eliminate the migration of stray charges when connecting between equipment. To do this, connect a wire between the Technical Earth terminal and a suitable point on the rack. The Technical Earth provides a suitable connection between the equipment and the installation to give a low impedance path at normal operating frequencies.
Chapter 2 All signal connections are made via the rear panel. A typical rear panel is shown in Figure 2.5. Full technical specifications for the connections are given in Annex B. The Receiver provides a flexible Transport Stream input interface. The status information appropriate to each input type is available to the User via the User Interface, and also via the remote control interfaces.
Chapter 2 Cautions! The receiver provides DC power (see Chapter 3, Front Panel Control for details of menu option) via the active L-band input connector to drive an LNB. Do not connect equipment other than an LNB to this connector. Failure to do this may result in damage to the external equipment.

RX8000 Series Receivers. This enables control of the unit through the RS232/485 serial connector on the rear panel of the unit, using Ericsson’s proprietary remote control protocol. This feature allows customers, who may be upgrading their current systems to the RX8000 series, to use their current scripts for receiver control.
Caution! Ericsson Customer Services Help Desk will not be able to provide you with the local lockout PIN, as it is uniquely created at the time of the lockout. The user creates the PIN at lockout time. To obtain the PIN, please consult the person responsible for the administration of the unit.
A personal computer (PC) running a Web Browser can be used to configure, control and monitor the Receiver remotely. The following web browsers have been tested: • Microsoft Internet Explorer (This is the only browser supported by Ericsson) • Mozilla Firefox (Functional but unsupported) •...
