  • Page 42: Chapter 3 - Operational How - Tos

    Chapter 3 - Operational How - Tos DVB-S / DVB-S2 AUTO Modes (ADV and PRM) The RD-60 Advanced and Premium demodulators support automatic modulation and coding mode detection. The minimum amount of configuration required in auto modes is downlink frequency, symbol rate, and rolloff. In DVB-S mode, selecting QPSK_AUTO or 8PSK_AUTO from modulation mode will automatically detect the coding scheme for DVB-S modulated carriers.

The RD-60 supports both unicast ( point to point ) and multicast ( broadcast ) streams. The RD-60 operates in UDP/RTP mode by default. To setup an IP Rx session, first configure the IP Rx operation mode.

  • Page 45: Multicast Reception - Address

    Multicast Reception - Address To receive a multicast (UDP/RTP/SMPTE2022) stream, place the multicast address wished to view in the ‘Address’ field. This address must match the same address used on the multicast transmitter. Multicast IP address ranges are 224.xxx.xxx.xxx to 239.xxx.xxx.xxx, where 0 <= xxx <= 255.

    AFD carriage can be carried within a transport stream as a unique ANC PID (ancillary pid), within the video elementary stream as SEI data (H264), or user data (MPEG2). The RD-60 does not support AFD via an ANC PID at this time.

    SYNC IN signal is synchronous with the decoded stream (both signals are using the same 27 MHz source clock). This mode allows two RD-60's to be used for receiving 3D signals, or when the decoded source is using the same clock base as the SYNC IN. This mode bypasses the need for the audio sample rate converters.

    TS Out Decrypt TS Out Decrypt is a new feature of the RD product line that determines how BISS encrypted transport streams are processed. This configuration provides end users flexibility in how the RD is used. The TS Out Decrypt configuration determines if the ASI output should mirror the selected input (OFF), thus preserving any encrypted streams or if it should be decrypted / free to air (ON).
