CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT OVERVIEW PRODUCT OVERVIEW Product Overview DVIS series products are network-edge local content insertion devices for digital video networks. They deliver locally generated baseband analog content within a property provisioned with digital only TVs, STBs or DTAs, or where analog spectrum is not available.
CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT OVERVIEW Theory of Operation The DVISn can be used to insert local programming into the spectrum where there is a blank channel (no QAM or analog channel). This can be either a blank QAM or a QAM channel above the HFC plant end frequency (at the “band edge”). Figure 2: Insertion into Blank QAM Figure 3: Insertion into QAM at Band Edge MDU Solutions...

CHAPTER 3: SET-UP AND CONFIGURATION Saturation: Allows modification of the video signal to increase or decrease saturation. There are 128 levels available (0-127). Audio Codec: A codec (compressor-decompressor) converts an audio signal to a specific file format or streaming audio format that reduces the required storage space or bandwidth. MPEG-1 supports stereo (two channel) signals while the AC-3 codec (licensed by Dolby Laboratories) supports 5.1 surround sound.
The following procedures provide detailed instructions for upgrading DVISn firmware. They require a self-installing firmware file supplied by ATX and a laptop or desktop PC running any OS supporting a web browser with available Ethernet connection (called the “management computer” in the following procedures). They also assume that the DVISn has been installed and is operating properly.

CHAPTER 4: FIRMWARE UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS When the upload is finished, file installation begins automatically. When installation has completed (which can take several minutes), the DVIS/DVISn reboots (indicated when the fan shuts off for a few seconds and then restarts). Wait 10-15 seconds after the fan restarts for the reboot to complete.
Please contact ATX Technical Support for assistance with any ATX products. Please contact ATX Customer Service to obtain a valid RMA number for any ATX products that require service and are in or out-of-warranty before returning a failed module to the factory.
