Overview
This chapter is a general introduction to the Cisco D985 9 Advanced
Receiver Transcoder. It describes the most common applications and
interfaces of the transcoder.
The Cisco D9859 Advanced Receiver Transcoder extends the distribution options for
MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) high definition from solely MPEG-4
environments to existing MPEG-2 networks. Support for up to eight simultaneous
high-definition or standard-definition (SD) channels of decryption and transcoding
provides the advantage of density for locations requiring more than just a single
channel. The D9859 can provide up to 8 down-converted MPEG-2 standard
definition programs or MPEG-2 high-definition transcoded programs. Video and
two audio outputs are available for analog down-conversion for one of the
decrypted incoming MPEG-4 high-definition programs.
Digital Program Distribution
The Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) and MPEG over IP (MPEGoIP) transport
outputs are individually configurable and provide the capability of carrying up to
eight decrypted transcoded programs for digital tier distribution. This helps the
compressed video programs to be efficiently distributed to subscribers equipped
with digital set-top boxes. Digital audio passthrough is synchronized to the
transcoded program output. Compliant program-specific information and service
information (PSI/SI) regeneration provides integration into a digital tier distribution
network for eight transcoded programs.
Key Features
The D9859 Advanced Receiver Transcoder provides the following key features:
Four L-Band inputs
DVB-S Demodulation for QPSK
DVB-S2 Demodulation for QPSK and 8PSK
Cisco PowerVu
descrambling
Supports Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) conditional access
Decryption and transcoding of up to eight programs for digital transport output
Two digital transport outputs available (ASI and MPEGoIP)
Support for up to eight simultaneous high-definition or standard-definition
channels of decryption and transcoding and passthrough of the original channel.
Total of 16 regenerated outputs (8 transcode + 8 passthrough)
Program transcoding to support down-conversion of a MPEG-4 HD program to
a MPEG-2 SD program

Transport Stream Outputs
DVB-ASI Outputs
The D9859 transcoder has three DVB-ASI outputs. These outputs can be used as
inputs for multiplexers, groomers 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. 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 adinsertion in compressed digital format.
The diagram below shows an example of the D9859 transcoder used in an ASI or
MPEGoIP application.
Transport Stream Outputs
OL-31980-01 5
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.
The diagram below shows an example of the D9859 transcoder used in an MPE
application.

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)
Once the receiver detects a failure after the configured 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 D9859
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 63) for the front panel, and Setting up the RF Input (on page 141) 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:
When disaster occurs, the receiver 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
receiver will set PE 1 to channel 11 and PE2 to channel 12 and declare that the
disaster is over.
