Options and Upgrades
3.1.2
Limitations on Number of Option Modules (E5720
Only)
There are six packet sources on the backplane for the use of option
modules: one fixed packet source on each of option slots one and four;
four floating packet sources for use in any of the option slots.
The additional audio (M2/EOM2/AUDLIN) and data (M2/EOM2/DAT)
options use two packet sources each, whilst the Remux option,
M2/EOM2/REMUX, uses none. However, because the Remux option can
only go in option slot 1 then the fixed packet in that slot is not used.
If the Remux option is fitted then there can be a maximum of two other
modules (any combination of additional audio and data), leaving one spare
packet source.

NOTE...
The packet sources are represented by squares for fixed packets, circles for floating ones.
If the Remux option is not fitted then there can be a maximum of three
option modules (any combination of additional audio and data).

Limitations on Use of Option Modules
Although both BISS (M2/EDCOM2/BISS) and RAS (M2/ESO2/RAS) may be
present in the Encoder, only one may be used at a time.
3.1.4
How to See Which Options are Fitted/Enabled
The Encoder has a number of hardware and software options (see Table 3.1
and Table 3.2). To see which are fitted/enabled refer to the Build Menu
(see Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally, Figure 4.9).
3.2
Bit-rate Limits With Reflex Licence and/or
Performance Upgrade
A user with a REFLEX licence (M2/ESO2/VBR) but no Performance Upgrade
(M2/ESO2/PU) will be able to get lower bit-rates than 1.5 Mbit/s. This only
occurs in Seamless modes. However, because the Performance Upgrade
has not been bought the picture quality will be reduced (see Table 3.3).
