connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
15 Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16 Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.

D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder
The D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder provides the ability to deliver MPEG-4
high definition (HD) services to MPEG-2 cable television (CATV) head-ends. The
D9858 transcoder extends the distribution options for MPEG-4 Advanced Video
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 downconverted standard definition (SD) MPEG-2 program instead of one or both of the
available HD transcoded programs. A video and two audio monitoring outputs are
available for analog down-conversion for one of the decrypted incoming MPEG-4
HD programs.
Digital Cable/Telco Program Distribution
The Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) and MPEGoIP transport outputs are
individually configurable and can carry up to two decrypted transcoded programs
for digital tier distribution. This helps distribute the compressed video programs
efficiently to subscribers equipped with digital set-top boxes. Digital Program
Insertion (DPI) information is also be available along with the video and audio PIDs
(Packet Identifiers) for external ad insertion in compressed digital format. Digital
audio passthrough is synchronized to the transcoded program output. Compliant
Program Specific Information (PSI) and Service Information (SI) regeneration
provide integration into a digital tier distribution network for two transcoded
programs.
Key Features
The D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder provides the following key features:
Four L-band inputs
Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite (DVB-S) demodulation for quaternary
phase shift keying (QPSK)
Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2)
demodulation for QPSK and eight phase shift keying (8PSK)
Cisco PowerVu conditional access with Data Encryption Standard (DES) or DVB
descrambling
Support for Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) conditional access
Decryption and transcoding of up to two programs for digital transport output
Program transcoding to support down-conversion of a MPEG-4 HD program to
a MPEG-2 SD program

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.
Transport Stream Outputs

Transport Stream Outputs
DVB-ASI Outputs
The D9858 transcoder has three DVB-ASI outputs. These outputs can be used as
inputs for multiplexers, groomers or other types of DVB-ASI reception equipment.
DVB-ASI Output
The MPEGoIP output provides a number of output modes including the capability
of carrying a decrypted program for digital tier distribution. This helps ensure that
compressed video programs are efficiently distributed to households equipped with
digital set-top boxes. 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. The MPE output receives IP
packets from the transport stream and the IP data can be sent through an Ethernet
switch to an IP router or directly to a receiving device.

application.
Disaster Recover y
7
Disaster Recovery
In the event of a transmission failure on the primary feed, the disaster recovery
allows for continued programming, with limited to no downtime. The failure
condition could be triggered by one of the following events:
RF Lock Loss
Unstable RF signal
Transport Loss (RF locked, but no transport stream packets and NULL packets
received)
There are two types of disaster recovery implementations: Local or Uplink. Local
uses the disaster recovery settings configured on the D9858 transcoder. Uplink uses
the disaster recovery profile settings configured on the PowerVu Network Center
(PNC). This is optional and PNC Software Version 12.5 is required.
Local Settings
The local disaster recovery settings are used if the PNC uplink is set to allow local
disaster recovery and the disaster recovery profile on the unit is set to local. Once the
receiver detects a failure after the configured signal loss timeout, it will initiate a
disaster recovery search based on the search path determined by the disaster
recovery configuration. 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.
The origin transport consists of origin transport tuning parameters and PE service
IDs, configured in the Input menus. For more information on the Input parameters,
see RF1, RF2, RF3, RF4 (RFx) Input (on page 64) for the front panel, and Setting up
the RF Input (on page 145) for the web GUI.
Note: If you perform a master PE channel change during a disaster recovery search,
the search will end, the current tuning parameters will be locked, and the current
channel will become the origin channel. If you perform a tuning change during a
disaster recovery search, the search will end, the current user tuning parameters will
become the origin tuning parameters, and the origin may be updated by any of the
NIT updates that follow.

For example, the disaster recovery is configured as follows:
Program
Entry
Origin Transport
Channel Number
Backup 1
Transport
Channel

Backup 2
Transport
Channel
Number
Backup 3
Transport
Channel
Number
PE1
101
11
101
801
PE2 2 12 – 1005
When disaster occurs, the transcoder will tune to channel 11, as defined on the
Backup 1 transport.
If the acquisition is successful on the backup 1 transport (PAT is received), the
transcoder will set PE 1 to channel 11 and PE2 to channel 12 and declare that the
disaster is over.
If the acquisition fails or there is no signal lock on the backup 1 transport, the
transcoder will continue to search for the next backup transport for PE1 (Backup 2
transport). If the acquisition is successful on the backup 2 transport, the transcoder
will set PE1 to channel 101, but leave PE2 to channel 2 because PE2 is not specified
for Backup 2 transport.
If the acquisition fails or there is no signal lock on the backup 2 transport, it will
continue the search path and set PE1 to channel 801 and PE2 to channel 1005 if the
acquisition is successful on the backup 3 transport. However, if the acquisition fails
or there is no signal lock on the backup 3 transport, the search path will continue to
the origin transport. The search path will cycle through origin, backup 1, backup 2,
and backup 3 infinitely.
The search path is shown in the Disaster Recovery Status information on the front
panel and web GUI.
By default, the disaster recovery is enabled. To set up and view the disaster recovery
parameters using the front panel, see Setup Menu: DR (on page 123) and Status
Menu: DR (on page 54). To set up and view the disaster recovery parameters using
the web GUI, see Configuring the Disaster Recovery Settings (on page 157) and
Viewing the Disaster Recovery Status (on page 161).
