Operation instructions | MIP 8-00 | MIP 16-00 | MIP 8-06 | MIP 16-06 1.3. Inputs/multituner Devices with multituner can receive DVB-S/S2/S2x, DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C. 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 16)! Direct connection to the LNBs The devices have a remote supply voltage for the LNB and DiSEqC 1.0 functionalities at the inputs.
Feeding-in a redundant input signal (function on request) The AXING MIP-headend series can be fed from an additional redundant input signal source. Switching can be be triggered through various selectable criteria (input level, bit error rate etc.). In the example the DiSEqC command is used to switch from the main antenna to the redundant backup antenna. Both satellite antennas must be aligned to the same satellite reception position.
1.6. SMARTPortal The AXING SMARTPortal connects each AXING headend device with a cloud-based portal and thus provides worldwide access to the devices. The connection is password-saved and scrambled. The only requirement on site is an internet connection of the device e. g. via LAN, EoC, EoC-WLAN-Bridge, 3G/LTE-Router.

Operation instructions | MIP 8-00 | MIP 16-00 | MIP 8-06 | MIP 16-06 Specify a special PID of the Service Description Table (SDT). The Service Description Table (SDT) contains information about the transmitted programmes (services). It is usually transmitted with the PID 17.
4.2.3. MPTS If MPTS (Multi Program Transport Stream) is selected as the transport stream output (see 5.2.1 on page 33), then the programs can be assigned to the 8 or 16 output transport streams. All lines of the programme table have colored buttons M1, M2 …. The buttons correspond to the MPTS. The allocation of the buttons is given in the COLOR CODES legend.
Operation instructions | MIP 8-00 | MIP 16-00 | MIP 8-06 | MIP 16-06 Assigning programmes Every tuner is assigned to an MPTS. The programmes of the tuner can only be assigned to the associated MPTS. For example, click in table TUNER 1 on M1. The program is assigned to MPTS 1.
Page 23
Assigning programmes to the MPTS In the cross multiplex mode, the tuners are no longer assigned to one MPTS. Programs, which are assigned to MPTS 1 Click e.g. in the table TUNER 2 to TUNER 3 on M1. The programs are assigned to MPTS 2. Spliting the programmes of a transonder If there are to much programms transmitted in one transponder, they can be splitted to several MPTS.
