Page 21: About This Guide
About This Guide About This Guide Objective This guide describes how to install, use and maintain the Cisco D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder. Note: The guide describes all available options for the D9858 transcoder. Your D9858 transcoder may only have some of the features described in this guide.
Page 23: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Overview This chapter is a general introduction to the Cisco D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder. It describes the most common applications and interfaces of the transcoder. In This Chapter  D9858 Advanced Receiver T ranscod er ..........2 ...

Coding (AVC) HD from solely MPEG-4 environments to existing MPEG-2 networks. Support for simultaneous dual-channel transcoding provides density for locations requiring more than just a single channel. The D9858 can be used to provide a down- converted standard definition (SD) MPEG-2 program instead of one or both of the available HD transcoded programs.

Page 26: Software Update
Chapter 1 Introduction Software Update All software in the D9858 transcoder is stored in non-volatile memory that can be electrically programmed. New software releases for the D9858 transcoder can be downloaded via the Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T Management interface.
Page 27: Transport Stream Outputs
Digital Program Insertion (DPI) information will also be available along with the video and audio PIDs (Packet Identifiers) for external ad - insertion in compressed digital format. The diagram below shows an example of the D9858 transcoder used in an ASI or MPEGoIP application. MPE Output The Multiprotocol Encapsulation (MPE) output provides a means to carry packet oriented IP protocols on top of a transport stream.
Page 28 Chapter 1 Introduction The diagram below shows an example of the D9858 transcoder used in an MPE application.
Page 29: Disaster Recovery
A DR symbol is displayed on the front panel, and the D9858 web GUI displays a D/R in progress status. During a disaster, the receiver will attempt to tune to a different backup transport, based on the search path configured.
Page 30 Chapter 1 Introduction For example, the disaster recovery is configured as follows: Program Origin Transport Backup 1 Backup 2 Backup 3 Entry Channel Number Transport Transport Transport Channel Channel Channel Number Number Number – 1005 When disaster occurs, the transcoder will tune to channel 11, as defined on the Backup 1 transport.
Page 31: Uplink Profile Settings
Disaster Recovery Uplink Profile Settings Once the transcoder detects a failure after the configured signal loss timeout (defined by the uplink), it will initiate a disaster recovery using the PNC uplink Disaster Recovery Profile settings. If the PNC uplink is set to allow local disaster recovery, the disaster recovery profile setting on the unit determines the disaster recovery setting to use (local or uplink).
Page 32: Nit Retune Recovery
Chapter 1 Introduction NIT Retune Recovery The Network Information Table (NIT) retune recovery occurs when the tuning parameters on the uplink do not result in a successful tuning lock (for example, modulator settings or transponder signal strength). The receiver will try to tune to the new signal (NIT), and if it does not lock to the new signal during an initial engagement delay of five minutes, it will revert back to the original signal.

Page 41: Chapter 3 Installation
Cisco D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder. Qualified Personnel Only appropriately qualified and trained service personnel should attempt to install, operate, or maintain the D9858 receiver. WARNING: Allow only authorized and qualified service personnel to install, operate, maintain, and service this product. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur.
Page 42: Power Connection
AC power, see Appendix B - Technical Specifications (on page 331). As Cisco units are designed for continuous operation, some products do not have a power switch. In this case, the main cord and/or DC power supply cable serve(s) as the main disconnect device.
Page 43: Installing The D9858 Transcoder
Cooling The D9858 transcoder is cooled by the use of internal fans. The air intake is from the front and the air outlet is on the rear. Note: Adequate cooling must be provided equaling 107 W (maximum) at 25°C per unit to avoid overheating.
Page 44: Connecting The Ac Power To The D9858 Transcoder
Make sure that the power cable is connected to protective ground. See Grounding (on page 21) for more information. The D9858 transcoder is equipped with one power supply located in the rear of the chassis. Note the location of the power supply in the event of alarms/warnings resulting in replacement of a power supply.
Page 45: Rear Connector Panel
Rear Connector Panel Rear Connector Panel The following diagram show the rear connector panel of the D9858 transcoder: The following table describes the function and type of the various connectors. Connector Description Type RF Inputs Each input accepts an LNB signal input.
Page 46 Chapter 3 Installation Connector Description Type Composite Video CVBS 1 and CVBS 2 provide two identical SD composite video outputs for monitoring Outputs applications. Balanced Audio Outputs Audio 1 and Audio 2 provide two stereo Terminal Blocks pairs or four mono channels. Ground Screw.
Page 47: Connecting The Input/Output Signals
Connecting the Input/Output Signals Connecting the Input/Output Signals Connecting the RF Inputs Connect up to four LNB RF cables to the RF connectors labeled RF1 through RF4 on the rear of the unit. Use 75-ohm (braid/foil or braid/braid), low insertion loss coaxial cable. Each input accepts an LNB signal input.
Page 48: Connecting The Ethernet Management Interface
D9858 transcoder directly to another Ethernet device without using a hub or switch. Set up the IP address on the D9858 transcoder (via the front panel display). For information on setting up the IP address via the front panel, see IP (on page 70).
Page 49: Connecting The Asi Outputs
Connecting the ASI Outputs Proceed as follows to connect to the ASI outputs: Connect the output signal from the D9858 transcoder ASI OUT connectors. All three outputs, ASI OUT 1, 2 and 3 are identical. Use a Belden “Brilliance” cable with foil/braid construction. The shield must provide 99% or better shielding effectiveness.
Page 50: Connecting The Rs-232 Data Interface
38.4 kbps (default). These outputs are user-configurable via the Setup Menu on the front panel. The interconnect cable from the D9858 transcoder to a PC should be straight through (for example, no handshaking), shielded and equipped with a DB -9 male connector at one end to mate with the rear panel RS-232 Data interface, and a female DB-9 connector to connect to the PC.
Page 51: Configuring Open-Collector Outputs
Configuring Open-collector Outputs The D9858 supports decoding of SCTE-35 messages with DTMF descriptor. The D9858 outputs tones or sets the open collector contacts according to the content of the DTMF descriptor in the Cisco D9054 HDTV Encoder and the Cisco D9036 Modular Encoding Platform.
