Explanation

Navigation/Selection Keypad

The navigation keys (LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN) and the SELECT key are the
primary controllers. Each navigation key performs various functions, depending on
the current state of the menu system (i.e., sometimes the left navigation key
backspaces over an entry and sometimes moves the cursor to a different menu
item). Once the cursor is over the desired function, pressing the SELECT (center
key) key selects the current item. Pressing the SELECT key stores any entered
values.

Parameters: 0.0 to 15.0 GHz.

Description: This is the name of the satellite currently selected. Choose the

satellite you want to use to receive the signal from the list of
satellites available. When you select a satellite, the orbital position
(OrbPos) is displayed. This is important for automatic switching
from one RF input to another in the event of loss of the signal,
allowing the transcoder to acquire an alternate signal.

Parameters: When the satellite is not listed, enter the known orbital position

(OrbPos) of the satellite you want to use to receive the signal.

Description: This is the location in orbit of the satellite currently being used. The

satellite position (in degrees) in combination with the direction
(either E (East) or W (West)) denotes the satellite position the dish
connected to the current RF Input should point. This is used when
the satellite is not available in the look-up menu list.

Parameters: For manual configuration, simply enter the location of the satellite

using the numerical keypad. The transcoder will not recognize the
satellite name and identify it as Unknown. This setting is required
to resolve any ambiguity between RF inputs during automatic
disaster recovery.

In single-band LNB applications, set this value to 0.0.

Parameters: Degrees.

Description: This is the Input signal inversion setting, which allows the operator

to track and select inverted and non-inverted digital signals.

Parameters: When set to Auto, received digital signals are tracked and inverted

for correct selection, as required. When set to Inv (inverted), the
received digital signal is always inverted. Conversely, when set to
NonInv (non-inverted), the received digital signal is never inverted.
Normally set to Auto, Inv and NonInv are typically used to
automatically reject or filter out unwanted signals.

Note: Active Format Descriptor (AFD) - normally it is necessary to set both the TV
Aspect Ratio and Conversion to correctly display the video program on the TV
system. The Auto AFD option enables the transcoder output to automatically match
the display format of the video program to the TV system based on specific (uplink)
program information carried in the transport stream. In this case, the transcoder
performs the conversion based on the TV Aspect Ratio setting combined with the
program-specific uplink information to provide the “best fit” for display of the
program material on the TV. This feature is primarily used in 16:9 and 14:9 (wide
screen) applications.
