D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver

The D9824 Multi Decryption Receiver is designed for satellite content distribution
applications requiring Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite (DVB-S) and Digital
Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2) reception capabilities
with advanced digital outputs for digital tier program distribution. A built-in
decoder can decode an MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) high
definition (HD) program is also available for analog. By supporting decryption of up
to 32 Cisco PowerVu
efficiently receive and distribution programs through their network using a single
receiver.

Digital Program Distribution

The Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) transport output provides a number of
output modes and can carry decrypted programs for digital tier dis tribution. This
capability helps ensure that compressed video programs are efficiently distributed to
households equipped with digital set-top boxes.

Digital Program Mapping

Digital program mapping allows programmers to "transparently" substitute
programs at the uplink. It maintains predictable and compliant transport output
during service replacement, network information table (NIT) retuning, and channel
changes, including forced tunings. This feature remaps the packet identifier (PID)
information from the primary service to an alternate service, allowing downstream
devices to continue to operate without headend operator intervention. This helps
ensure availability of alternative programming in the digital tier.

Digital Advertisement Insertion

Digital program insertion (DPI) information is available with the video and audio
PIDs for external advertisement insertion in a compressed digital format.
