Chapter 1 Preface This manual describes the Harmonic DiviCom™ Electra™ 1000 Multichannel Encoder. Manual Organization This manual contains the following chapters: Chapter 2, , introduces the encoder and describes its features. Introduction Chapter 3, , provides a hardware overview, including a description of the back Installation ...
Electra 1000 encoders and other devices. NMX provides full configuration of the Electra 1000 platform, ports, services, and PSI, as well as alarm management. You configure a few initial network settings from the front panel of the encoder. The encoder operates within an IP environment;...
DiviTrackIP. The ProStream 1000 analyzes the complexity of all incoming video streams and sends messages to the encoders through the IP network. All streams from an Electra 1000 encoder must be sent to the same ProStream 1000. MPTS (multiple STC clocks per chassis) is also supported.
DPI commands (triggers) via Ethernet. These commands are sent via the SCTE 104 protocol, and result in the encoder placing SCTE 35 DPI messages in the outgoing MPEG Transport Stream (TS). (The Electra 1000 also accepts commands via the SCTE DVS/525 draft protocol.) The resulting messages carry metadata used by downstream content insertion equipment to choose and insert the proper content.
This refers to the Japanese standard and the input is in VANC while the captions are placed in a separate PID. Front Panel Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of the Electra 1000 encoder. Figure 2-1: Front panel 2.9.1 Front Bezel The encoder has a detachable front bezel that snaps on top of the local control panel and provides access to the reusable air filters.
Chapter 3 Installation This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing a Electra 1000 encoder in a standard 19-inch rack and connecting cables. The chapter describes: How to prepare and unpack the Electra 1000 How to install the encoder in a rack ...
Your encoder comes from the factory with the latest released software version installed. Harmonic periodically releases software updates. You can download new software to the encoder using NMX. See the NMX online help for instructions for how to download and begin running new encoder software.
