Page 106: Program Input And Output Operation
3.1.5 Program Input and Output Operation Note: the proper functionality of the equipment input/output depends on the correct settings of each inserted module. Please refer to Chapter 3.1.4 to set up the parameters of each module before taking the Input/Output setting of the equipment. Click “Program Info”...
Page 107 Name of the module The port number depends on the Physical interface of the module The TS number depends on the channel output capability of the module Operation Procedures Two kinds of operation are provided: 1) transfer the whole TS including all PIDs; 2) transfer programs one by one.
Page 108 2) Transfer programs one by one Select the module which you want to transmit the output stream. Select which TS (Channel) to output the stream, and then click the right mouse button to choose ‘Add TS’. Input the “Original Network ID” and “TS ID” for the channel, and click the “Add” button.
Page 109 The input “Original Network ID” and “TS ID” will be assigned to the selected output TS (channel). To change the “Original Network ID” and “TS ID”, use the left mouse button to click the TS (channel) name when it is being selected. Then the TS (channel) name will be in editable status.
Page 110 Click the button to set transfer of the selected TS from the “Input Program Info” to the “Output Program Info”. Follow the save operation steps, user can set the selected input stream to be transmitted at any assigned output TS (channel). Advanced Configuration Channel Name Edit To change the Channel Name, use the left mouse button to click the TS (channel)
Page 111 Select and change the TS (Channel) Name PID Edit Click the “+” symbol under the channel name, then all the elements of that channel will be expanded and displayed.
Page 112 All the elements of the channel are editable. The edit shall be compliant with the related regulation of DVB. Descramble Operation Note: 1. The descramble function needs the support of a CI descrambling module. 2. The inserted CAM should be able to support the CAS of the scrambling program. 3.
Page 114 • Note: To avoid any SI problem, it is recommended to use “Bypass” mode when transfer the program to CI module, following content will describe the operation: Right click on the TS in which there is (are) channels need to be decode, and select BypassTS, then the status icon besides the TS name will turn to yellow, and the programs in the TS is not abable to be selected seperately.
Page 115 To cancel the descrambling operation on a program, just use the right mouse button to click the descrambling program and select menu “Non-descramble”. After the program is scrambled, the button indicators of the program name will turn to black color. Back to the input program window, the descrambled programs have already been automatically transferred to the corresponding port of the CI module and waiting for setting to output.

Page 120 7. Under the new added NIT table, find the “transport_stream” item and use mouse right click on it to select “Add NIT TS”. 8. Input the Network ID and the TS ID. The ID must be same as that set in the output TS channel.
Page 121 9. Under the new added “transport_stream”, find the item “transport_descriptor”, use mouse right button to select to add proper descriptor base on the actual situation. We select “Add Cable Descriptor” here because we use 8QAM module. 10.
Page 122 After input the descriptor, click “Add”, then user can expand the “transport_descriptor” menu to check whether the new added data correct or not. Then repeat steps 7~10 to add other frequencies to this NIT table. 11. After the configurations of the NIT, do remember to click “Set” and then “Save” button in the “Program Info”...
Page 123 LCN Insertion In telecommunications, a logical channel number (LCN), also known as virtual channel, is a channel designation which differs from that of the actual radio channel (or range of frequencies) on which the signal travels. The most common reason for a television station using a virtual channel is to minimize viewer confusion when a digital transmission is airing on a different channel from the one the station used in analog mode.
Page 124 2. Select TS1 channel and click mouse right button, then select “PSI/SI” to enter the “PSI/SI” menu. 3. Enter ‘NIT Actual→Transport _Streams’ and then select “transport_descriptor” with mouse right button and select “Add LCN Descriptor” option.

Page 133: Receiving Signal Auto- Backup Function
3.1.6 Receiving Signal Auto- Backup Function The equipment supports auto-backup function for the receiving signals. Once the main receiving module breaks down, the backup module automatically takes over the signal receiving function to guarantee no signal lost happen in this case. This auto-backup function can be achieved on all equipments receiving module types, including DVB-S2 module, IP Input module and ASI module.
Page 134 Right click on the module name, and select “Main” or “Backup” for each module. As an example, here we set module in slot 2 as the “Main” module, and the one in slot 6 as the “Backup” module. After the setting, the modules will be marked with different color buttons in front of the module names for differentiation.
Page 135 Click “Set” button to apply for the settings as the last step.
