Page 23: Overview
The APEX1000 offers a feature set that is based on the existing SEM V8/V12 products. To allow for full use of all 48 QAM output streams, however, the APEX1000 allows each output to be configured separately. In addition, you can apply many configuration settings without rebooting the system (changes to the QAM Transmission Mode require a reboot before taking effect).

Page 31: 8Qrm/Rf Redundancy
8QRM/RF Redundancy Each APEX1000 unit contains up to three RFPM QAM modules, and each RFPM QAM module consists of two Octal QAM modules (8QRM) sub modules. There are, as a result, six 8QRM sub modules in a fully loaded APEX chassis. The APEX1000 includes support for 8QRM/RF port narrowcast redundancy, provided by the REM1000.
Page 32: 1:1 Chassis Redundancy
L2TPv3 support will be offered in a future APEX1000 release.) CAUTION The APEX1000 does not allow you to change the operating mode or PID remapping mode of QAM output that has any active service or stream mappings. To perform these modifications, you must first delete all service and stream mappings to that output.

Page 36 The ERM1000 uses D6 to discover the Edge QAM (the APEX1000) and its capabilities. • R6 routes individual VOD sessions through the APEX1000, from an SPTS input at the GigE interface to a program in an MPTS QAM output. The other interfaces shown above relate to other functions and components in the RTSP/MHA network, from the STB client, to the VOD streaming server, to the encryptor.
Page 37 RPC architecture. Therefore, as shown in the preceding graphic, the Network Encryptor (NE) is positioned to perform the encryption. The APEX1000 then takes already encrypted SPTSs at its input and routes them to the appropriate output per the Edge Device Interface Specification (EDIS).
Page 38: Mc Encryption And Access Control
Encryption FPGAs. Each FPGA can support the encryption of 24 full rate MPTSs (48 MPTSs in total). Using this architecture, the APEX1000 is able to support the encryption of up to 768 services across all 48 QAM outputs.
Page 39 While in all cases the APEX1000 internally creates the ECMs, the access requirements (Rights Meta Data) for a given stream are determined by the APEX1000 by the DAC (through its RDS interface), by the session controller setting up a VOD session, or through configured defaults on the APEX1000.
Page 40: Broadcast Encryption
You must convert all ASI outputs from IRDs or encoders to GigE before sending them to the APEX1000. As shown in the preceding graphic, you can perform this conversion using a SEM v8. Additionally, the Motorola AGB240 (ASI to GigE Bridge) can also be used to convert ASI into GigE.
Page 41: Common Tier Encryption (Cte)
The APEX1000 can remux services, but does not support trans-rating • The APEX1000 will (or will not) encrypt each individual stream based on the data for that service received from the DAC using the RDS. The APEX1000 will also insert the appropriate copy protection data (CCI, APS, CIT) •...
Page 42 APEX1000 will only support this exact scheme. Additional Notes: 1. To apply a basic level of encryption (mostly for privacy) to each stream, the APEX1000 is typically configured for CTE (common tier encryption). 2. Incoming streams may already be encrypted (perhaps using the OLES for pre-encryption), in which case the APEX1000 muxes the stream as is, without disrupting the encryption or ECMs.
Page 43 In a typical switched digital headend, the encryption and modulation functions are separated. The APEX1000 can perform both of these functions. While operating in RTSP mode, the APEX1000 can encrypt switched content using Common Tier Encryption. In this mode, all switched QAMs in a service group will have the same configured RMD and encryption settings.
Page 44 SDV architecture. Therefore, as demonstrated in the preceding graphic, the Network Encryptor is positioned to perform the encryption. The APEX1000 receives already encrypted SPTSs at its input, and routes them to the appropriate output according to the RPC control. This encryption procedure may also be performed at the edge level through the APEX1000 using CTE.
Page 45: Maximizing Throughput In Sdv Operation
Maximizing Throughput in SDV Operation RTSP/MHA Paired Port Assignment Prior to APEX1000 2.0, the APEX1000 could report a single pair of GigE ports to the ERM. Users could then enable all 48 QAMs for SDV mode, allowing the ERM to map streams from any enabled GigE input port to any enabled QAM output port.
Page 46 ERM. RPC Mode When configuring the APEX1000 for RPC mode, you must provide the input-to-output mapping through the EM or SDM configuration screens. As is the case with RTSP mode, you should avoid assigning more than 24 QAMs to a single GigE input pair.

Page 48: Other Required Items
Mounting the APEX1000 Mount the APEX1000 in a standard 19-inch rack. It is not necessary to provide an open space above and below the unit for air flow. If the equipment operates continuously in a closed cabinet, use forced air circulation to ensure maximum equipment life and optimum performance.
Page 49: Rack Mounting
The correct equipment rack mounting instructions for the APEX1000 are provided below: • Elevated Operating Ambient — If the units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tmax) specified by the manufacturer.
Page 50: Figure 3-1 - Apex1000 Rack Mounting
3. Insert the APEX1000 into the rack by sliding the side support rails through the rear mounting brackets. 4. Secure the front of the APEX1000 to the front rack angles with the four #10 (32 x .50-inch) long screws and plastic washers.

APEX1000 Verification The following procedure is a quick and simple method to determine if the APEX1000 is operating properly. CAUTION Verification requires the use of the APEX1000 EM. If you have not yet downloaded the EM Java applet, see Initiating an EM Session for additional information.
Page 58: Setup And Operation
JRE. Establishing Network Connections At power up, the operating configuration of the APEX1000 is determined by data stored internally in flash memory, or by data that is downloaded from a bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) server; the particular method used to set up initial operation depends on the system configuration.
Page 59: Verifying The Network Connection
Verifying the Network Connection Ping the APEX1000 OAM&P interface to confirm that the IP address was assigned. At bootup, the OAM&P interface (ENET1) should be connected to the local network. The APEX1000 always attempts to auto-negotiate at bootup, and sets the duplex and data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) according to the results of the auto-negotiation process.
Page 60: Operating System
APEX1000 under the following conditions: • Data is read from the APEX1000 using SNMP get and getnext functions, and sent to the APEX1000 using SNMP set functions. • When configuration data is set on the APEX1000 using the Element Manager, it is read back by the EM so that the EM window stays synchronized with the APEX1000 database.

Loss of PSI is used to determine when a service that was previously received is no longer on the input stream. For a service to be remultiplexed by the APEX1000, the input PAT must reference the applicable service number. In addition, the input PMT must be received.

Page 123: Ordering Information
Ordering Information When ordered by itself, the APEX1000 chassis includes two RFPM fan filler modules and one power supply fan filler module. Because unit operation requires at least one RFPM module and one power supply module, it is not necessary to provide three RFPM fan filler modules or two power supply fan filler modules.

SimulCrypt Overview To allow integration with third party CA providers, the APEX1000 supports DVB SimulCrypt. SimulCrypt is a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standard that defines specific interfaces to support interoperation between two or more conditional access systems at a digital video head-end or satellite uplink, and purposed to protect a service (or range of services) sharing a common scrambling code.
