Page 6: Introduction
The PRO1Q can deliver one channel of audio received via satellite on its single output port while the PRO4Q can deliver up to four channels of audio on any one of its four balanced output ports. Additionally, content can be received and stored locally for later use. This content can originate from a real time satellite broadcast, from a high speed satellite IP distribution channel, or can be retrieved via the Internet over the Ethernet port. -
Page 7: Network Management System
XDS-PRO Satellite Receivers Network Management System The XDS-PRO satellite receivers have been specifically designed so that its output can be controlled via one central web application. This application is called the Network Management System, or NMS. From the NMS, the receiver can be monitored and managed, and the user can set a schedule of live and delayed programs for each output port. -

Page 10: Physical Installation Of The Receiver
XDS-PRO Satellite Receivers Physical Installation of the Receiver The following section will guide you through the physical installation of the XDS-PRO receiver. 2.3.1 Rack Mounting the Receiver The XDS-PRO receiver has been specifically designed for installation and operation in an EIA standard 19-inch equipment rack. -
Page 11: Dc Voltage Requirement
You may need to have the receiver supply DC voltage to either an LNB or a block down-converter (used after an LNA). For the model PRO4Q (or model PRO1Q equipped with an optional control front panel), the user must change the receiver’s LNB ON/OFF settings using the front panel display. For directions on how to use the front panel display, see Section 3.2 of this manual. -
Page 12: Connecting To The Ethernet Network
XDS-PRO Satellite Receivers If the DC Voltage is shorted during installation, transient voltage may damage the Demodulator. In the case of a short, over-current protection circuitry will shut down the LNB supply. When this occurs, it is important to disconnect the receiver as soon as possible. If there is a “dead” short in the cable connecting the receiver to the satellite dish, the unit will not function properly. -
Page 13: Proxy Server Configuration
Analog Audio Ports The four ports on the back of the PRO4Q receivers labeled Audio A, Audio B, Audio C, and Audio D output analog audio. For information on the pin-out of these ports, please see section 7.6. For the PRO1Q, the audio port labeled Audio A also outputs analog. -
