The TDR6 supports both single-channel-per-carrier (SCPC) and
multi-channel-per-carrier (MCPC) operations and can be deployed in either a
point-to-point or point-to-multipoint system.

If the TDR6 has been configured to receive satellite transmissions, it will accept
input from 950 to 2150 MHz at power levels between -65 dBm and -25 dBm. It
can also interface directly with satellite low noise block (LNB) downconverter
input at up to 30 Msps, -25 dBm to -65 dBm. The TDR6 will receive a DVB or
ATSC-compliant input signal, demodulate and decode the signal, and deliver
separate video, audio, and optional data (for example auxiliary data or teletext)
signals.

If the TDR6 has been configured to receive a terrestrial transmission, it will
accept a signal compliant with the acceptable formats described in the option
module section, decode the signal, and deliver separate video, audio, and optional
data signals.

Option Modules The TDR6 has a modular construction which allows for easy

expansion. The TDR6 accepts up to six option modules and can be rapidly altered
to suit your needs.

Video Processing The TDR6 can be configured to support SDTV in NTSC and

PAL formats. Video output provides both analog composite and digital D1
MPEG-2 4:4:2 or 4:2:0 formats, which are automatically sensed by the decoder.

The TDR6 can also be configured to support decoding of HDTV signals in either
1080i or 720p formats through the use of an option module. HD Video output
provides 1.5 Gbps SDI.

Audio Processing The TDR6 provides decoding of up to two stereo or four mono

channels of program audio in standard definition configuration.
A total of four additional stereo (or eight mono) channels of MPEG audio may be

decoded using one additional option slot. Audio output is digital AES/EBU. Up to
four AC3 audio channels are supported using external AC3 decoders.

Auxiliary Data Delivery The TDR6 is able to decode and deliver uncompressed

optional data streams. This data may take the form of non-specific auxiliary data,
or, depending on the transmission site, may be data such as teletext or other video
or audio specific data. The installed option modules define the data types the
TDR6 can decode and deliver to the receive site.

In its basic configuration the TDR6 supports two channels of synchronous data up
to 2048 kbps or asynchronous data up to 34.8 kbps on EIA-232 and EIA-422
ports.

Input Interfaces The TDR6 can be configured for various inputs through the

selection of input option modules. For example, a TDEM-6110
QPSK/8PSK/16QAM demodulator module allows the TDR6 to perform as an
SDTV or HDTV IRD with four switchable L-band inputs.

Auto-Sensing Decoding The TDR6 features auto-sensing of the audio and video

and monitoring functions can be efficiently performed using the front panel.

The TDR6 menu structure will vary according to the option modules installed in
your unit, however the standard menus exist in any TDR6 configuration.

At-a-glance system status can be quickly determined by checking the front panel
power, fault and status LEDs.

Remote Control A remote unit, such as a computer terminal, is easily connected to

either the EIA-232 remote control port or Ethernet port allowing the TDR6 to be
configured, monitored, and controlled using character-based ASCII protocol.

Programmable Memory The TDR6 is a field deployable unit designed with a

nonvolatile, field-programmable memory that ensures retention of configuration
parameters in the event of power outages or during transportation.

Configuration Sets The TDR6 has three default configurations and allows you to

store up to four user-specified configuration sets.

104 Mbps, on a female BNC connector, 75Ωimpedance

■ ASI OUT – outputs a DVB/ASI compliant transport stream as a loop through

of the input signal on a female BNC connector, 75Ω impedance. The output

follows the input selected, i.e., ASI or RF.
The ASI Out port provides a pass through relay; if power is lost, the input is

directly connected to the output.

■ USER DATA A and B – identical data ports that are independently

configurable for either RS-422 synchronous/asynchronous communications
up to 4.096 Mbps or RS-232 asynchronous communications up to 38.4 kbps

Both User Data ports are female, DB-9 connectors.

■ FAULT RLY (relay) – female RJ-11 connector that provides three

connections to create a form-C status relay
The fault relay indicates a non-normal, or fault, condition when power is

removed through a power failure, a power switch turned off, or an unplugged
unit. The fault relay can also report user-programmable faults.

A fault condition is indicated by contact closure between pins one and three,
and an open contact between pins one and six. Fault Relay pin assignments
are provided in the port pinout appendix.

■ ETHERNET – female RJ-11 connector that provides remote control of the

TRD6 over a network

LCD Display LCD Symbols

The front panel LCD display and buttons were designed to help you navigate
through the TDR6 menu structure quickly and efficiently.

There are four important symbols that appear on the LCD:

■ Arrow (→ ) ■ Asterisk (*)

■ Equal sign (=) ■ Colon (:)

Arrow As you are navigating through the TDR6 menus, an arrow will often

display on the LCD. Depending upon where you are in the menu structure, this
arrow denotes the following information:

■ At a menu level the arrow indicates that there are additional items available at

that current menu level

■ In a list of parameters the arrow indicates that there are additional items

available in that parameter list

Asterisk While the TDR6 is executing a command or setting a parameter, an

asterisk (*) appears on the LCD, indicating that the TDR6 is processing
information. When the asterisk disappears, the process is complete.

Equal Sign Most parameters, though not all, can be modified in order to

configure the TDR6. Configurable parameters are followed by an equal sign,
denoting that the parameter option can be modified.

Colon There are some parameters that are automatically set for your system or

that are query-only parameters. These type of parameters are followed by a colon.
When a parameter is followed by a colon, that parameter can be viewed but not

NOTE

configuration whenever the unit is reset or powered up.

Correcting Mistakes Selecting Options from a List If you are selecting a parameter from a list, and

have not pressed the Enter button, use the Up or Down buttons to scroll to the
correct option.

Using the Keypad If you are entering a value with the keypad, and you have

not pressed the Enter button, you can either:

■ Press the Up button to change the value to 0, then enter the correct value

■ Press the Down button to delete the numbers (from right to left), then enter the

correct value

Front Panel

01-0870-401B 01/03 19

Leaving a Parameter If you have not pressed the Enter button, you can leave a

parameter without modifying it by pressing either the:

■ Previous button which returns you to the previous menu level

■ Next button which advances you to the next parameter in the list

In either situation, the TDR6 will ignore any values entered and return the
parameter to its original setting.

After Pressing the Enter Button If you accidentally issue an incorrect parameter

value to the TDR6, you can correct the error by:

1. Selecting the parameter again using the Selection buttons. The parameter will
begin to flash.

2. Change the parameter option to the correct value.

3. Issue the parameter again by pressing the Enter button
