Channel Assignments for RF Output
__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to
incorporate the RF output of the PIVD100R. Ensure that up to four contiguous CATV
channels are allocated for the PIVD100R RF output. The PIVD100R uses a 256-QAM
modulation format, thereby occupying approximately 24 MHz of frequency spectrum.
The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup, and the remaining channels
are then automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards.
For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel "2," the three remaining
channels will be "3" "4" and "5". However, if the RF start channel assignment is "6," the
three remaining channels will be "95" "96" and "97". Refer to EIA-542 STD CATV frequency
allocation tables for further information as required.
The highest available RF channel number for the PIVD100R is "135." Thus, to allocate
all four channels available for PIVD100R RF output, the RF start channel must be set no
higher than "132."
Channel Assignments for IP Output
__ The PIVD100R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution's IP network and
room receivers support IPv4 multicast and that the network is capable of selectively routing
multicast traffic. Refer to vendor equipment documentation for further information.
__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to
incorporate the IP output of the PIVD100R. Ensure that up to 16 unused and unreserved
IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are
allocated for the PIVD100R IP output.
IP channels are user-assigned during system setup. You may opt to specify an IP start
channel and enable the system to auto-increment the remaining channel assignments. For
example, if the IP start channel assignment is "227.0.0.40," the remaining channels will be
"227.0.0.41," "227.0.0.42," etc. Or, you may opt to manually specify the IP details for each
IP channel.
__ Reserve at least one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data streams.
You can use the system default (1234) or another unassigned port number for each data
stream, as required, for example, 50000, 50001, etc. The port(s) must avoid conflict with
other protocols in use.
Note: Refer to the IANA IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry and/or the IANA Service
Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry for further IP address/port information as
required.
