4.10.4 DVS644 (SCTE18)

Configure DVS644 (SCTE-18) Client Alert Send to DVS644 (SCTE-18) device
Discussion: DVS644/SCTE18 is an SCTE standard for encapsulating EAS alert data into an MPEG transport
stream format (as an MPEG system table) for delivery to MPEG client devices (such as set-top boxes and cable
ready TVs). The DASDEC II has a sophisticated and powerful implementation of this standard.
As stated above, this feature requires the DVS644/SCTE18 license. WhenDVS644/SCTE18 support is available
on the DASDEC II, the tabbed sub-page for this feature appears under Setup > Net Alerts. Two toggles are
displayed for enabling DVS644/SCTE18 during alert forwarding and origination.
Alert Forwarding to DVS644/SCTE18/CEAM devices. This toggle enables SCTE18 send processing during
alert forwarding. It can be enabled / disabled at any time.
Encoder Originated Alerts Sent to DVS644/SCTE18/CEAM devices. This toggle enables SCTE18 send
processing during alert origination. It can be enabled / disabled at any time.
At least one of these toggles must be enabled to allow editing of DVS-644/SCTE 18 clients. In the screen shot
below, both toggles are enabled.
If either of the first two toggles is enabled, a third toggle box is displayed that controls application of the defined
Audio Delay value to DVS644/SCTE18 alert send action.
Setup > Net Alerts > DVS644/SCTE18 web page - top half
Configure DVS644 (SCTE-18) CEAM Client Connection (client IP & program values apply to both
Origination and Forwarding)
Discussion: Up to 64 DVS644/SCTE18 client interfaces may be defined. Each one can have a unique
configuration and can send the SCTE18 EAS protocol data to different IP address. During alert play-out
processing, the Operation Log will log the success or failure of the DVS644/SCTE18 forwarding/origination
action per client. Individual client interfaces may also be enabled and disabled. Every enabled client
configuration is triggered for whichever action of alert forwarding and alert origination currently enabled.
Select DVS644 client - This interface lists the names of the existing client interfaces in a drop-down menu. It
also prints the current number of defined client interfaces. The maximum number of client interfaces is 64. To
edit an existing client interface, choose the named interface from the pull-down menu to edit.
