Page 6: Product Description
1. Product description 1.1. Scope These operating instructions apply to the headends described below with firmware version skq16_v1.08. 1.2. General MK-400 Four independent multituner inputs Transmodulates 4 × DVB-S/S2/S2x/T/T2/C into 4 × DVB-C or DVB-T (depending on the configured modulation standard, see 5.2.1 on page 42) Expandable to 8 or 16 modulators MK-406 Like MK-400, with 6 CI slots (see chapter 6 on page 60) -
Page 7: Inputs/Multituners
1.5. Inputs/multituners Headend devices with multituners can receive DVB-S/S2/S2x, DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C. Typically, as shown, SAT signals are fed in at the inputs. For receiving DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C the LNB power has to be switched off before connecting a antenna cabel to one of the HF inputs (see 4.1.2 on page 21)! 1.6. -
Page 8: Smartportal
The only requirement on site is an internet connection of the device e. g. via LAN, EoC, 3G/LTE- Router (see 2.6 on page 14). With AXING’s SMARTPortal a worldwide configuration of all settings or software updates can be ensured. On customer request AXING can provide the necessary support. -

Page 23: Remux Mode
Check the fill levels and click OK. 4.2.1. Remux mode If the the Network ID are set on auto, the device works in the Remux mode. In this mode, the IDs from the set transponder and from the satellite are used and forwarded to the modulators with virtually no changes. - Page 24 Assigning programs Every tuner is assigned to a modulator. The programs of the tuner can only be assigned to the associated modulator. For example, click in table TUNER 1 on M1. The program is assigned to modulator 1. The button of the modulator is highlighted in color (a new click on a modulator allow the assignment to be canceled.
-
Page 25: Cross Multiplex Mode
4.2.2. Cross Multiplex Mode The cross multiplex mode is used: To split the programs of a transonder to several modulators. To merge pogams of several transponders into one output channel. Transmission capacities in the distribution networks can be optimized. Change the Network ID to a value greater than zero. - Page 26 Assigning programs to the modulators In the cross multiplex mode, the tuners are no longer assigned to one modulator. Click in zhe column Modualtor on M2. The programs are assigned to modulator 2. Spliting the programs of a transonder If there are to much programms transmitted in one transponder, they can be splitted to several modulators.

Page 29: Pid-Remapping
4.2.7. PID-Remapping Automatic PID remapping If several programs within an output modulator contain packets that have the same PID, this can cause interferences. Therefore these PIDs are re-mapped automatically. In the example, both programs are assigned to modulator M1 (1). The IN PIDs 101 to 105 are identical for both the upper program „Das Erste“... -
Page 30: Pid Filtering (With Mks 1-01)
Re-mapping PIDs by hand If packets should get a very specific OUT PID, this can be entered manually. Click in the OUT PID column of the program. Enter the PID with the keyboard or increase/decrease the PID with the arrow keys. ... -

EPG and EIT options Electronic Program Guide (EPG) Only possible in Remux mode: If a satellite makes the EPG available on a special transponder, then the tuner receiving this transponder can be selected as the EPG input. In PHASE 2 click on ADVANCED OPTIONS. A dialog with options will open. -
Page 32: Freeze" Nit Version
4.2.11. "Freeze" NIT version If programs of a transponder change, then the NIT is recreated. In most countries, the end user does not notice, because the receivers automatically read in the new NIT. However, in some countries (eg France) end users are asked to start a channel search. If it comes to the case that one or more stations are weak to receive, then the NIT changes frequently and the end users are always unnecessarily prompted to start a channel search. - Page 33 Under Input, select one of the available input streams. Under In PID, enter an unreferenced PID. Select the output Modulator. Under Out PID, enter the output PID. The output PID can be the same or different from the input PID.

Click on PHASE 3, to modify the setting of the modulator. The output channels are compulsory assigned to adjacent channels. -
Page 36: Fill Level
4.3.2. Fill level The fill level depends on the number of activated channels in the channel list (menu item Phase 2) If the CROSS MULTIPLEX MODE is active, it must be ensured that the maximum number of activated channels in one modulator is not exceeded. The data rate of the channels on the DVB-S/S2/S2x transponders may vary depending on the image contents and on the transmission quality. -

the DVB-T transmission. The delayed signals of other synchronized DVB-T senders or reflections have no effects on the decoding of the useful signal if they arrive during the guard interval. The period of the echoes must be shorter than the duration of the guard interval. Changing the guard interval adjusts the ratio between the transmission duration of the useful symbols and the duration of the guard interval. -
