Introduction
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
General Instrument DSR-4800 digital satellite receivers are integrated
receiver/decoders (IRD) designed for broadcast networks, cable systems and
other commercial satellite operations. They are simple to use as they allow the
program provider to perform many of the complex setup tasks. The receivers can
then receive these instructions from the satellite as part of the downloaded digital
signal. They can be configured to your exact needs using the front panel menus.
WHAT ARE VIRTUAL CHANNELS?
It is important to understand how virtual channels work before using the
front panel menus.
When you manually tune to a transponder and select a programmer’s VCT
number and channel designation, the receiver will download the VCTs
available on that transponder. For example, a programmer may have one
VCT for his consumer network and a different VCT for his commercial
customers. You can accept several VCTs in memory. When you download
more tables, the table that is not used for the longest period of time is
discarded first. The number of VCTs retained depends upon table size, but
there is typically room for five or more commercial network tables.
The DigiCipher® II network and its VCT can be limited to part of one
transponder, one entire transponder, many transponders on one satellite or
many transponders on several satellites. The units have four antenna satellite
input ports that can connect to antennas aimed at two different satellites.
Since the VCTs include satellite and transponder (frequency) information,
the receiver will change satellite and transponder as needed when the virtual
channel on the front panel is changed. The receiver will give an error
message on the front panel LCD if the VCTs prompt it to change to a
satellite/transponder that it cannot find on the input ports.
At most, each virtual channel has only one video data stream. Some virtual
channels have audio or data-only services. The virtual channel may have
many audio elements, and they are selected by language: English (stereo
implied) and French-Portuguese (mono-mono) are just a sample of the 256
possibilities. The IRDs have enough memory to accept a download of 64
languages in a network. In the case of mono-mono (French-Portuguese for
example), the left output is the first mono (French), and the right output is the
second mono (Portuguese). If you specify a language that is not available, the
audio defaults to the first in the VCT list–usually selected by the programmer
because it matches the video lip movements.

The DSR-4800 Series
CHAPTER 2
THE DSR-4800 SERIES
The General Instrument DSR-4800 series of digital satellite receivers
includes the DSR-4800, DSR-4810 and the DSR-4850. The aforementioned
products are hereinafter referred to as “unit.”
DSR integrated receiver/decoders are designed for broadcasters and other
professional, contribution-quality commercial satellite operations. They can
be very simple to use as they allow the program provider to perform many of
the complex setup tasks. The receivers can receive instructions from the
satellite as part of the downloaded digital signal, or you can configure it to
your exact needs using the extensive front panel menus.
All units contain the following key features:
, The microprocessors and memory built into each unit decodes and
decompresses the MPEG-2 video, audio, data and other information in
the signal. This significantly decreases the amount of information to be
transmitted thereby reducing bandwidth requirements. Broadcasters and
programmers can transmit on one carrier any number of channels,
limited only by the material transmitted and their particular network
needs.
, Delivery of the best possible video and audio quality by using forward
error correction (FEC) techniques that make allowances for poor signal
quality. FEC determines which information is corrupted, then corrects it.
As a result, the digital signal remains clear until the signal quality
degrades to a level where FEC can no longer restore the information.
This threshold is below an analog receivers’ ability to provide
recognizable video.
, Based on MPEG-2 standards, we use virtual channel mapping to select
the desired video, audio and other data streams out of the overall
transmission.
, Virtual channel information can be determined over the satellite at any
time, allowing for dynamic changes in the network without requiring you
to reconfigure the receiver.
, Automatically handles fixed, limited-statistical and full-statistical
multiplexing to provide the best video performance.
, For audio compression, we use the Dolby
techniques chosen by the North American Grand Alliance for High
Definition Television and for the newest digital videodisk systems. The
DSR-4800 Operating Manual 2

The DSR-4800 Series
receiver automatically adjusts to the compression rate used for the audio.
In the DVB mode, the unit is capable of processing DVB Musicam
audio.
, Non-volatile memory to indefinitely recall the operating configuration
when power fluctuates, is interrupted or removed altogether.
, Security features, including General Instrument’s proven security
system. Even though the unit does not require a TvPass™ Card to
operate with security, in the unlikely event that the code is compromised,
security can be renewed by simply inserting a card with a new code into
the receiver.
, A low profile, single rack unit design – only 1.75” EIA rack space.
, Able to process and provide the broadcast engineer with a 4:2:2 Studio
Profile @ Main Level digital video output from a DigiCipher® II or DVB
signal.
, The front panel display and edit/select control are formatted to provide
optimum resolution, execution and the most effective display of
information necessary for operation.
, Controllable or status monitored via either of two separate data interfaces
or by way of satellite network control.
, The unit’s EIA232/485 rear panel control interface can be configured to
directly plug and play with your existing network control system.
, A complete set of extended commands allow for remote control of all the
receiver’s additional controls and functions.
, Ability for network monitoring and control via a 10Base-T Ethernet
connection.
, All units offer output of ASI, digital video (i.e., SMPTE259 with
embedded four-channel audio), digital audio, analog video, analog audio,
VBI lines and closed caption.
THE DSR-4800
The General Instrument DSR-4800 receives both HD and SD signals. Both
HD and SD streams are reprocessed to the Digital Video Broadcast
Asynchronous Serial Interface format at 270 Mbps. The ASI signal is output
through a BNC connector.
SD transport streams can be processed at 4:2:2 P/ML and 4:2:0 MP/ML
decompression.
The unit receives QPSK modulated signals at L-band frequencies of 950 to
2150 MHz through one of four input ports.
3 DSR-4800 Operating Manual
Page 12
The DSR-4800 Series
The DSR-4800 performs demodulation and FEC decoding of all standard
DigiCipher® II symbol and convolutional coding rates, at information rates
up to 40.46 Mbps. It also performs demodulation and FEC decoding of all
standard DVB convolutional coding rates, at information rates of 3.25–45
Msps. Within the resulting transport stream, a single DigiCipher® II service
designated by the user can be decrypted.
The DSR-4800 will automatically tune to of four L-band inputs based on the
Virtual Channel Tables sent from the UCS. The unit will use the Virtual
Channel Tables for tuning between services.
THE DSR-4801
The General Instrument DSR-4801 is a more economical version of the fullfeatured DSR-4800 designed for the studio monitoring, video processing and
satellite turnaround markets requiring 4:2:2 digital video output.
DSR-4801 receives both HD and SD signals. SD transport streams can be
processed at 4:2:2 P/ML and 4:2:0 MP/ML decompression.
The unit receives QPSK modulated signals at L-band frequencies of 950 to
2150 MHz through one of four input ports.
The DSR-4801 performs demodulation and FEC decoding of all standard
DigiCipher® II symbol and convolutional coding rates, at information rates
up to 40.46 Mbps. It also performs demodulation and FEC decoding of all
standard DVB convolutional coding rates, at information rates of 3.25–45
Mbps. Within the resulting transport stream, a single DigiCipher® II service
designated by the user can be decrypted.
The DSR-4801 will automatically tune to of four L-band inputs based on the
Virtual Channel Tables sent from the UCS. The unit will use the Virtual
Channel Tables for tuning between services.
The lack of a full-feature VBI board, ASI output and Ethernet control
distinguishes it from the DSR-4850.
THE DSR-4810
The General Instrument DSR-4810 includes all features of the DSR-4800
with the addition of video synchronization capability across multiple DSR4810 units. The unit will accept a primary and secondary video input
reference and synchronize the output audio and video to one of those
references. It will also provide a video output reference for other units to use
as a synchronization reference.
DSR-4800 Operating Manual 4
Page 13
The DSR-4800 Series
THE DSR-4850
The General Instrument DSR-4850 includes all features of the DSR-4800
with the following variance: An ASI input option has been installed in place
of the satellite QPSK tuner allowing the DSR-4850 to function as a decoder.
The DSR-4850 receives the MPEG-2 transport stream in DVB ASI format
through a BNC connector to an ASI input module. Once the ASI transport
stream is received either from a DSR-4800 or DSR-4810 unit, multiple DSR4850 units can be looped together.
DCII HD transport streams are processed to decrypt a service selected by the
user. The resulting transport stream is output in ASI format.
SD transport streams are processed to extract, decrypt and decompress a
service selected by the user.
The DSR-4850 will use the Virtual Channel Tables from the UCS for tuning
between common services.

current setting for that field. Below is a detailed explanation of the fields
contained within each menu item on the front panel.
STATUS MENU:
DCII VCT Mode, DCII Manual Mode, DVB Mode (Read Only):
Display (EXT 1)
SAT
, A three (3) character field showing the first three characters of
the satellite_reference_name() as defined in the
Satellite Text Message.
XPD
, A five (5) character field showing the first four characters of the
corresponding transponder_name() as defined in the
®
Transponder Name Table.
PROGRAM
, A twelve (12) character field showing the first twelve characters
of the name() as defined in the Source Name Table.
PROGRAMS MENU:
NOTE: The Programs Menu has multiple functions, which depend on the
mode of operation that the receiver is placed in. The DSR-4800 has three
modes of operation, and the function of each field as related to the mode of
operation is shown below. To receive and demodulate a signal for the first
time, the receiver must be placed into DCII Manual or DVB mode. For the
DCII VCT mode to operate, the receiver must first be locked onto the desired
Programmers transport stream, after which a Virtual Channel Map is
downloaded to the receiver. This should take about 30 seconds. After the
map is downloaded the receiver automatically follows the virtual channel for
all settings of the receiver.

Front Panel Controls and Menu Display
DCII VCT Mode :
Display (EXT 1)
VCT
, Tunes to an operator requested service by entering the VCT ID
(Dec) and the Virtual Channel Number (Dec). In DCII Manual
mode the desired VCT number and VC are directly entered. In
DCII VCT mode scrolling of the VCT-ID’s and VCT-Num’s are
available from the stored Virtual Channel Map Tables.
Corresponding Service Numbers are updated in the MPEG field.
In DVB mode the VCT and VC function is not available, so the
MPEG service number is used to select the desired program.
MPEG
, In DCII VCT mode this field displays the selected MPEG
service number updated when VCT information is entered (note
that this is a read only field in DCII VCT mode); in DCII
Manual or DVB mode this field permits scrolling to select
programming available in the selected transport stream. The
displayed program numbers are extracted from the MPEG
Program Map Table or the DCII defined Service Map Table.
, While in DCII VCT Mode, Service Numbers are actively related
to their Associated Virtual Channels. As such, the VCT is
updated when a valid VCT definition exists.
, Valid in DCII Manual mode and DVB mode.
Note: While in DVB mode, VCT information is not displayed.
PROGRAM
, A sixteen (16) character field showing the first sixteen characters
of the program name as defined in the Source Name Table.
DSR-4800 Operating Manual 16
Page 25
Front Panel Controls and Menu Display
DCII-VCT Mode:
Display (EXT 2) Menu 1
DCII VCT MODE
, Displays the current operational mode that the receiver was
placed in.
, Use the Edit button to select from three modes of operation, (i.e.,
DCII VCT mode, DCII Manual mode or DVB mode.) After the
desired mode is selected press Program to scroll the menu back.
, When placed in DCII VCT Mode for the first time, the receiver
must have been first tuned in DCII Manual mode to select a valid
RF signal and received a virtual channel map. Proceed to DCIIManual mode for instructions.
, Once the receiver has a valid virtual channel map, first scroll
through the VCT field and select the desired virtual channel table
number for the program you wish to select. The receiver will
automatically tune to the desired program and start the decoding
process.
Note: If the VCT number for the program you want is not listed,
then you must go back to DCII Manual mode and verify that the
correct VCT and VC are available from the selected RF input.
DCII Manual Mode:
Display (EXT 2) Menu 2
DCII MANUAL MODE
, Allows manual reception of DCII satellite signals. It is used for
first setup of the receiver, just after installation. The procedure
for DCII Manual set is as follows:
17 DSR-4800 Operating Manual
Page 26
Front Panel Controls and Menu Display
– Place the receiver in DCII Manual mode using the Program
Menu.
– Press the RF Menu button and select the antenna input port
number. Set the satellite number and V/H polarity for the
desired programmer's satellite feed.
– Press the RF Menu button a second time to set the RF center
frequency in L-band or RF frequency (if the default LNBC
L.O. has been set). Now set the desired symbol rate and
FEC.
– Press the RF Menu button a third time to set the RF
Demodulation mode to DC-II, LNBC voltage, LNBC Tone
and LNBC L.O.
– Verify the front panel RF Lock is lit and signal meter has at
least two LED bars lit. The BER threshold meter should
have no more than three led bars lit. If the BER threshold
meter is completely lit and the signal meter has no bars lit,
without RF Lock, then the receiver is not locked to the
desired RF carrier.
– With the receiver locked to a valid DC-II signal, press the
Program Menu and set the VCT and VC numbers to the
correct setting for the program you are selecting. As you
enter the VCT number, the receiver will indicate VCT Not
Defined. Complete the VCT number entry and wait until the
receiver indicates VC Not in Table. When the receiver
indicates VC Not in Table this means that the current VCT
you entered is a valid table and is listed in the VC Map the
receiver just received.
– Enter the VC of the program your are selecting. As soon as
any correct VC number in the map is entered the display will
change to indicate the Source Name of the selected program.
The MPEG program number will also be indicated.
– With the correct VCT and VC number entered the receiver
will proceed with decoding the video/audio and data
information. Monitor the front panel Authorize LED. If the
program is in the clear or fixed key encryption, the receiver
will automatically authorize and display the video/audio. If
the program is fully encrypted the Authorize LED will blink
until the receiver is hit with an authorization signal.

phone number and return address. If the Technical Assistance Department instructs you to return
the IRD, pack it safely and securely, preferably in the original shipping carton. Put the RMA
number on the outside of the shipping carton. Enclose a letter explaining the problem. Be sure to
include a copy of your sales receipt or other proof of purchase date, a copy of your warranty, and
your phone number and return address. Ship it insured to the authorized service center specified
by General Instrument. All packing, shipping and insurance to return the IRD to General
Instrument must be prepaid by you. General Instrument Corporation shall pay return shipping
charges.
NOTE: If the warranty on your IRD is expired, voided or inapplicable as determined by General
Instrument Corporation in its reasonable discretion, General Instrument will not repair the IRD
until You agree to pay for quoted charges. If You do not agree within 30 days to pay the quoted
charges, the IRD will be returned to You unrepaired. You are responsible for transportation
charges both ways on IRDs, which are not under warranty or on which the warranty has been
