flexible 8- to 16-program HDTV solution for system providers who provide satellite delivered

100BaseTX Ethernet interface X-Ports that connect up to eight satellite set-top boxes (STBs)

from either DIRECTV

Features

• Two output options: RF or IP (concurrent operation not supported)

− RF output: The PIVD100R generates four contiguous 256-QAM cable channels, with

up to two DIRECTV or three DISH Network program streams multiplexed on each

channel. This capability provides up to 8 HD programs of DIRECTV content or up to

12 HD programs of DISH Network content.

to 16 HD programs of DISH Network content.

(if included in the signal source)

• Remote management capability over Ethernet via either graphical user interface (GUI) or

command line interface

• Unit does not require local monitor, keyboard, or mouse connection

• Small, lightweight chassis

• 19-inch rack-mountable

• 1U height profile to minimize rack space usage

The PIVD100R converts satellite MPEG-4 HD programming to an encrypted, encoded

transport stream. A Pro:Idiom-compatible television is required to view premium HD content,

and a proper session ID must be set at the TV in order for Pro:Idiom decryption to be enabled.

LG's Pay-Per-View (PPV) partners can set up this session through their interface. LG's Free-

To-Guest (FTG) Mode of operation also enables Pro:Idiom decryption.

Multiple PIVD100R units may be combined in the head end to deliver an entire channel

lineup of HD programming.
