The ASI-O interface is of limited usefulness, due to the specification of multimode fibre with only a short haul capability. Optical transport of ASI can be better achieved by the use of IRT’s DVT/DVR-3210 single mode SDI/ASI fibre optic link, which has a capability of transporting ASI signals more than 50 Km.
Other: Temperature range 0 - 50° C ambient Mechanical Mounts in IRT FRU-1030 1 RU 19" rack chassis with input, output and power connections on the rear panel. Finish: Front panel Grey enamel, silk-screened black lettering & red IRT logo.
The ASI cable input is via a 75 Ohm BNC connector. ASI operates at 270 Mbit/s and uses 8B/10B coding with K28.5 stuffing bytes. The DDC-3480 removes the K28.5 stuffing bytes to return a signal at the encoding data rate.
Note: The DDC-3480 is available for different G.703 rates. The changes necessary to convert from one rate to another involve changing firmware, crystals and other components in addition to setting links detailed below. After making these changes, the whole module must be tested for accuracy of the G.703 output.
Installation in frame or chassis: The 3400 series of modules may only be mounted in IRT’s FRU-1030 type 1 RU chassis/PSU. This chassis may house either one or two of the cards in the series.
For the DDC-3480/34 no other adjustments are required. For the DDC-3480/45 a choice of shaped or unshaped output is available. This is set by link LK 5 and should be set to correspond to the length of cable connected to the output. This is necessary only if a shaped characteristic is required for short cable lengths.
Operation Basic Operation: Apart from the DDC-3470 (see below), there are no operational controls for these modules. Setting up consists only of connecting the input and selected output. Once this is done the front panel indicators should react and the output should present the correct format signal.
For situations when “No Fault Found” for repairs, a minimum charge of 1 hour’s labour, at IRT’s current labour charge rate, will apply, whether the equipment is within the warranty period or not.
Characteristics of signal types Coding characteristics G.703: The HDB3 (High Density Bi-polar of order 3) code as defined in G.703 for 34,368 Kbits/s is as follows: Binary 1 bits are represented by alternate positive and negative pulses and binary 0 bits by spaces. Exceptions are made when strings of successive 0 bits occur in the binary signal.
Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) The Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) provides a system for serial encoded transmission of different data rates with a constant transmission rate of 270 Mbit/s. The ASI standard supports coaxial cable and multi-mode fibre-optic cable (using LED emitters). ASI Protocol Architecture Description The ASI protocol is divided into three architectural layers: Layer-0, Layer-1 and Layer-2.
MPEG-2 transport layer coding The MPEG-2 Transport Layer is defined in ISO/IEC DIS 13818-1 [1]. The Transport Layer for MPEG-2 data is comprised of packets having 188 Bytes, with one Byte for synchronisation purposes, three Bytes of header containing service identification, scrambling and control information, followed by 184 Bytes of MPEG-2 or auxiliary data.

Convolutional interleaving Convolutional interleaving with depth I = 12 is applied to the error protected packets (see figure 2c). This results in an interleaved frame. The convolutional interleaving process is based on the Forney approach which is compatible with the Ramsey type III approach, with I = 12.
