Overview
The 8ASI DVB-S2 (S) Processor is a multifunction device intended for multichannel DVBS2 (S) broadcasting. It provides TS re-multiplexing, scrambling, modulating and Up-converting.
· The processor re-multiplexes up to 8 input Transport Streams(TS) and forms a
spectrum in the DVB-S2(S) format transmitted at Radio frequency.
· Standard SD/ HD DVB-S2(s) receivers can be used as subscriber receivers.
· IP output can be used to transport one of the packages via IP network or monitor
one of the packages chosen from output or input stream at your PC.
The single Processor allows you to organize DVB-S broadcasting of ~8 programs,
as well as a system for monitoring of channels on your PC. The Processor can replace the remultiplexer, scramblers, DVB-S2 Modulator and UP-converters.

OVERFLOW - Built-in multiplexers has an indicator showing the maximum allowable
stream is exceeding.
This is due to the fact that the input streams typically have a variable bit rate, and at the
Processor settings time the forming steam may be correct, but during a broadcast time either of the input streams may increase and cause spillage of the subscriber images. To
avoid this on the important channels, it is possible to assign one channel as the one that
may be subject to restrictions.

Operation common information
Processor must be connected to the PC for the settings, control and Update and Upgrade.
(The rear panel RJ45 connector)
The Processors have built-in system time synchronization. The control computer is
synchronized from the source time signal and in turn synchronizes the Processor. The
processor provides a timing signal that is synchronized receiver. In case of loss of signal
synchronization whole system will work, but showing the wrong time. DVCrypt program will
write this in the server log.
Environment Requirement
Environment Temperature 5~40 (sustainable)，0~45 (short time)，
Installing air-conditioning is recommended
Power Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are
independent to each other. Device power requires AC power 220V 50Hz. Please
carefully check before running.
Machine Hall Floor Electric Isolation, Dust Free, Ground anti-static material.
Grounding Requirement
Good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Good grounding are the
most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection.
Coaxial cable’s outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting
with the metal housing of device.
Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less than
25mm2.

Click “Next” and follow the wizard prompts
NOTE!
New Device connected to the system will be searched, their MAC and IP addresses will be
listed. Search can be repeated by pressing Refresh button. If there are a few Devices, it is
difficult to determine the Device among others. In this case you can select the Device in
the list and press Blink button. The selected Device will flash red LED (built in Ethernet
connector) three times. Next step is entering IP address of selected Device.
Select the Processor (Module) and click next.
6) Next step is the IP address of the selected Processor setting.
Select any free IP address in the range of this local network (for example, we use addresses from 92.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200) and enter it. Network mask and Default gateway should be set only if the Device will work in other subnetworks for the new Device and
add it to the system.

The server will set the IP address for the new processor and add it to the system:
The IP address and MAC will be shown in Devices window in Control Software. It will be
impossible to change the Device IP address hereafter. To change the Device IP address it
is necessary to delete the Device from the system and add it again.

After adding the Device it should be set. Double click on the Device number and it will appear Converter setting window,
Notes
If the distance between the Server and Devices is rather long and there are routers, and
automatic search doesn't work - in this case it is necessary to do the following:
Connect the new Device to the local network or to the Server directly and set the IP address as described above. Not waiting that the system will find and add the Converter, interrupt the adding procedure.
Connect the new Converter to remote network. Run adding procedure and select the option “The module is not listed here. Enter IP address of the module directly”
Enter IP address of the Processor (Module).

Attention!
All Devices are delivered set to the IP address 192.168.0.254 or 192.168.0.253, network
mask 255.255.255.0.
The Devices should have different IP addresses when you add them to the system. The
delivery set includes EthernetSetup.exe utility which makes it possible to change Device
IP address and network mask. The utility doesn't require installation. Before changing the
IP address connect the Device to Ethernet hub/switch, connect to it also a PC having installed network board (network board IP address should be in the Device IP address range.
For example, the Device IP address is 192.168.0.254, then network board IP address can
be in 192.168.0.1.. 192.168.0.254 range, network mask 255.255.255.0). Then run Ether-
netSetup.exe, the program will find the Device.
Select the device and press Setup button
The Network parameters window will appear, where you can change the Device IP address and network mask. The procedure of assigning IP address should be performed for
all Devices before adding them to the system. Pressing Ping button you can check connection between the PC and the Device. If you press Blink button, the selected Device will
flash red LED (built in Ethernet connector) three times.
Attention!
It is not recommended to change the Device IP address after the Device has been already
added to the system as it will cause connection failure. To re-establish connection it is necessary to repeat procedure of adding the Device to the system again.
After finishing the new Processor will added to the main window.
