  • Page 27: Transport Stream Inputs/Outputs

    Transport Stream Inputs/Outputs Transport Stream Inputs/Outputs DVB-ASI Output The D9824 receiver has one DVB-ASI output. This output can be used as an input for a DVB-T transmitter or other types of DVB-ASI reception equipment. MPEGoIP Output The MPEGoIP output provides a number of output modes including the capability of carrying a decrypted program for digital tier distribution.
  • Page 28: Mpegoip Input

    Chapter 1 Introduction The diagram below shows an example of the D9824 receiver used in an MPE application. MPEGoIP Input The MPEGoIP input allows a decoder to process User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)-encapsulated MPEG transport streams (protected streams) from the IP/Ethernet network.
  • Page 29: Disaster Recovery

    A DR symbol is displayed on the front panel, and the D9824 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 receiver will tune to channel 11, as defined on the Backup 1 transport.
  • Page 31: Uplink Profile Settings

    Disaster Recovery Uplink Profile Settings Once the receiver 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.
