Introduction - About Digital Turn Around

Digital Turn Around (DTA) is a commonly required function for Terrestrial, Cable, and IPTV distribution. Adtec's DTA-3050-HW3 provides the means of receiving up to ten physical Single (SPTS) or Multiple (MPTS) Program Transport Streams and re-multiplexing, table processing, ciphering and routing to a single triplex-mirrored Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) and or Gigabit Ethernet (GIGE) interface.

Applications

∙Telco IPTV / Broadband IPTV: Cost-effective and reliable delivery of video, audio and data services to an unlimited number of consumer set top boxes or PC/MAC clients on an IP network.

∙Satellite Digital TV: Aggregate video, audio and data services, process services, inject tables, encrypt and pass them via ASI or IP to modulators supporting traditional DVBS and the emerging DVBS2 or other satellite distribution method.

∙Terrestrial Digital TV: Aggregate video, audio and data services, process services, inject tables, encrypt them and pass them via ASI or IP to modulators supporting ATSC, DVBT, DVBH, DMB, or other terrestrial distribution method.

∙Cable Digital TV: Aggregate video, audio and data services, process services, inject tables, encrypt them and pass them via ASI or IP to modulators supporting traditional DVBC (Annex A, B, C) distribution method.

Communications

LAN

The DTA-3050 incorporates two network ports for Ethernet communications over a Local Area Network (LAN) using the Internet Protocol (IP). Command and control over a LAN can be accomplished using a Web browser using HTTP.

RS-232

The DTA-3050 provides an RS-232 interface for an experienced user for advanced troubleshooting. An RJ-45 connector provides a console connection to the DTA-3050, so the unit may be connected directly to a PC’s communications port.

RS-232 Serial Default Parameters

Variable	Setting
Baud Rate	115,200
Data Bits	8
Stop Bit	1
Parity	none
Flow	none; this is required if you are using Hyper Terminal or some other simple terminal application to
Control	communicate with the DTA-3050 via command line.

Ethernet

The DTA-3050 provides an Ethernet (10/100BaseT IEEE 802.3u) interface to communicate with the unit over a Local Area Network (LAN). Use of the Ethernet port supports connecting multiple units to a single PC through the use of an Ethernet Concentrator (Hub). The only limitation is the number of ports on the hub and available IP addresses on the network. Point-to-Point Ethernet connection can be achieved with an Ethernet crossover cable. The DTA-3050 also provides a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) interface for IP Destinations. Both ports can provide web administration.

Caution: both interfaces must be on separate subnets. If both interfaces reside on the same IP network, there will be loss of communication.

Ethernet Default Parameters

Variable	Setting
eth0 10/100	192.168.10.48
eth0 10/100 subnet mask	255.255.255.0
eth1 GigE IP address	192.168.20.48
eth1 GigE subnet mask	255.0.0.0
Gateway IP	0.0.0.0 (defaulted off)
User Name	adtec

Port and Table Mode

This article compares and contrasts Port Mode and Table Mode on the DTA3050 Router. Table Mode and Port Mode are accessed using the "Mode" button on the DTA3050's front panel.

Port Mode

	Function	Explanation
		All programs and PID’s that are present at the ingress get passed directly to the Egress with no remapping
	Pass	performed.
		In this mode, no PID conflict detection is performed on the Egress, so it is the user’s responsibility to ensure
		that no conflicts exist.
		Recommended for most applications.
		Only programs and PID’s that are manually added by the user are passed to the Egress.
	Manual	PID values and program information are mapped using user-defined values.
		As a default, the incoming values are used for the outgoing values.
		In this mode, the DTA does prevent PID conflicts in the Egress as part of the auto-logic algorithm.
		All programs and PID’s present in the Ingress that are added to the Egress by the user, will be added and
	Auto	remapped by the DTA Router according an auto-logic algorithm.
		In this mode, the DTA does prevent PID conflicts in the Egress as part of the auto-logic algorithm.
	SI Injector	NIT only
		Used for inputting multiple NIT tables and appending them to NIT Other.
	MHP	Special mode used only for MHP applications.
		In this mode, MHP services present in the Ingress can be mapped and associated to services coming in
	Injector
		through other ports.

Table Mode

Table Format	Explanation
DVB	Incoming services are processed using DVB table structure
MPEG	Incoming services are processed using PAT and PMT only
ATSC	Incoming services are processed using ATSC table structure
DCII	Incoming services are processed using Digicypher II table structure
	Incoming services are processed using information in the manualpidconfigX.xml file (where ‘X’ is
None	the port number.
	These files are located in the /etc/asimux/ directory

Using the GUI Interface

Introduction

The Adtec DTA3050 features an on-board Graphical User Interface for easy operability.

To access the GUI, bring up a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or Mozilla Firefox, and type your DTA's IP address into the URL locator, and press "Enter". The DTA's on-board GUI will launch, displaying a page like this:

This page lists basic version and operating time information for the unit, and contains a login window. "USER" (in all caps) is the default login password.

Also on this screen (and repeated on every screen) is a Status snapshot window, giving current status for ASI Data, ASI Fill, IPTV, and Redundancy.

The GUI enables you to interface with the DTA3050 through 11 screens. These screens are accessed with the navigation buttons in the left-hand window. These buttons are labelled:

∙System

∙Host

∙Inputs

∙Mappings

∙Outputs

∙Tables

∙CA

∙IP Destinations

∙MPE

∙Redundancy

∙Logs

Signing in to the GUI

Each screen and its controls are detailed in individual articles which follow. Each screen can be viewed in two ways. If you are signed into the GUI, each screen has editable controls for the configuration of the router's operations. If you view the screen without signing in to the GUI, you see a summary screen of the DTA's current settings, without being able to edit them.

Important: note that signing into the GUI and being signed in from the main control panel are two separate actions.
