Step 5 In the Source UDP Port field, or the SrcPort front panel menu, enter the source UDP port number (0 to 65535).
Note Set the Source UDP Port to 0 to use the default UDP port (49162).
Step 6 From the Announce Type drop-down list, or the Send SAP front panel menu, choose RFC 2327 to send the Session
Announcement Protocol (SAP) messages according to the RFC 2327 standard. Otherwise, choose None to not send SAP
messages.
Step 7 From the Announce Title Source drop-down list, or the SAP ID front panel menu, choose User String to use the SAP
string as the channel name, defined in the Announce User's Title below. Otherwise, choose SDT Channel to use the
SDT string as the channel name.

Configuring the Transcoder Settings
The Transcoder Setup page is available on multi-stream units only. The transcode feature, with the appropriate
licenses, allows you to convert MPEG-4 HD services to MPEG-2, for use in CATV headends.
Step 1
From the D9800 web GUI, choose Transport Stream > Transcoder Setup. Or, from the Main Menu of the D9800
front panel, choose Setup > Outputs > TS Out > Transcode > Transcode.
Step 2 From the Action on Loss of Input drop-down list, or the LO1 Action front panel menu, choose the action the transcoder
takes when there is a loss of input signal (No Output or Black Output).
Step 3 From Transcoder 1 Output to Transcoder 16 Output drop-down lists, choose the video format of the transcoded
output. The number of transcoder outputs depends on the transcoding licenses available. Or, from the PE front panel
menu, choose the transcoder index, as referenced by the DPM, and then choose the video format of the transcoded output
from the Video Mode front panel menu. The table below describes the options.
