1.2.1.2. RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver

Figure 1.1 RX8200 Advanced Modular Receiver

The advanced modular design of the RX8200 enables many
configuration possibilities allowing it to cover a broad range of
applications. It can be tailored to your precise needs, resulting in
a unit with only those features that are necessary without the additional
expense of superfluous functionality or connectivity.

The RX8200 can be tailored to standard definition or high definition
uses with MPEG-2, MPEG-4 or HEVC decode technology in both 4:2:0
and 4:2:2 modes as well as JPEG-2000. Connectivity into the receiver is
achieved with DVB-S2 satellite, DVB-S2 Extensions (DVB-S2X), IP and
ASI options.

The high powered processing capabilities of the RX8200 enable the unit
to be simply and easily upgraded in the field with additional software
options to increment the functionality at any point after initial
installation.

1.2.2. RX8300 Distribution Receivers

The RX8300 Distribution Receivers provide off the shelf model functionality designed to provide a
cost conscious unit to fit specific market areas / use case. For example the RX8320 is specifically
designed for 8VSB distribution applications and offers a set of targeted features specifically for
this market.

These basic market focused products can be customized to add extra functionality as required by
the broadcaster, however they do not allow the same level of customization that is offered by
the RX8200 flexible platform.

1.2.2.1. RX8310 Distribution Receiver

Figure 1.2 RX8310 Distribution Receiver

The RX8310 combines a DVB-S2 demodulator with MediaKind’s Director secure content delivery
and over-air receiver control solution as a standard feature.

The RX8310 provides the option to decrypt multiple services, allowing decryption of a complete
multiplex of channels with a single unit.

Single-service decoding options for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:0 SD video, and HD service
down-conversion means the RX8310 can provide a simple and cost-effective route to hand-off
video into an analog network or for service monitoring.

1.2.2.2. RX8315 Distribution Receiver

Figure 1.3 RX8315 Distribution Receiver

The RX8315 enables video distribution for both analog and digital networks.
The RX8315 provides compatibility with DVB Common Interface CA systems, offering both single

service and multi-service decryption capability. Decrypted transport streams can be handed off
into digital networks through a choice of ASI or IP output interfaces.

The RX8315 can optionally decode any MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:0 video standard,
down-converting from HD to SD where necessary to provide an SD composite video output for
interfacing to analog networks or for low cost monitoring.

1.2.2.3. RX8320 ATSC Broadcast Receiver

Figure 1.4 RX8320 ATSC Broadcast Receiver

The RX8320 is specifically designed to enable a simple, reliable solution to the ATSC broadcast
transition for cable, telco or satellite operators who re-transmit the local broadcast channels.

The RX8320 provides both ASI and 8-VSB inputs for reception of the broadcast services over
terrestrial or fiber links. It then provides a pass-thru capability so that operators can carry the
digital signals all the way to a subscriber’s home.

To support analog TV delivery, the RX8320 also provides video decode capability with high
quality composite output and audio decode capability, including 5.1 multi-channel to stereo
down-mixing, to allow easy interfacing into the existing infrastructure.

High Definition (HDTV) digital TV services can be down-converted for analog SD delivery.
Automatic picture aspect ratio conversion is performed based on any active format description
(AFD) and bar data present on the incoming digital TV service.

Legal and regulatory requirements are also fulfilled by the RX8320 for the transition of ATSC
broadcast services into analog TV delivery, with the extraction and insertion of Closed Captions,
Nielsen data, TV Guide data, and V-Chip program rating information into the analog video
outputs.

1.6. Serial Number Identification

Beginning in 2014, MediaKind began a process of transitioning from numeric serial numbers to
an alphanumeric scheme. As part of this process, all receivers will display the serial number
using the new format.

For further details on the serial number scheme used, contact MediaKind Customer Services.

1.6.1. Chassis Ident SN

The Chassis Ident SN can be found printed on the left side panel of the RX8000 unit towards
the rear panel. It can also be found in the web browser interface under the Device Info Tab in
the Device Info > Unit Chassis Ident section.

This uniquely identifies the RX8000 unit and is the serial number that should be used in all cases
when communicating with MediaKind Customer Services so that it can be tracked. All
components fitted to your RX8000 unit will be tied to the Chassis Ident SN.

Refer to Chapter 3 on how to use the web browser interface.

in the Device Info > Modules section. The Board Serial Number will be listed in the RX8000
row (Board Type 1900) under the Serial Number column.

Refer to Chapter 3 on how to use the web browser interface.

1.6.3. Customization Serial Number

The Customization Serial Number can be found in the web browser interface under the
Customization Tab in the Customization > Parameters > Serial Number section. This
number should be used when Custom Keys or License Keys need to be activated.

Refer to Chapter 3 on how to use the web browser interface.

1.6.4. Unique Hardware ID

The Unique Hardware ID is a unique identifier used for addressing the receiver in an
MediaKind Director system. It is the same as the Customization Serial Number described above.

Figure 3-1 Front Panel Controls (RX8200)

3.3.1. USB Connector

This connector is for factory/service use only.

3.3.2. Status LED

This multi-colored LED provides a visual indication of the summary status of the unit. The LED can be
any one of three colors:

•

Red (CRITICAL Error) – Indicates that the unit has lost lock
with the Transport Stream.

• Amber (MAJOR or MINOR Error) – Indicates that the unit is

locked to a Transport Stream but an error has been detected
signifying incorrect conditions or system functioning.

• Green (NO Errors) – Indicates that the unit is locked to a

Transport Stream and correct conditions and system
functioning are detected.

To assist with unit identification, it is possible to configure the LED to flash

on and off for a period of 20 minutes. Refer to section 3.9.2 Device Info

3.3.3. LCD

A 2-line x 40-character, back-lit, dot-matrix, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides menus and settings
that vary depending on which IRD model is being used and which options have been enabled
through the purchase of a suitable license.

All menus are numbered to aid navigation.

3.3.4. Arrow Pushbuttons (Up, Down, Left, Right)

Four arrow pushbuttons (or keys) are used to navigate through the front panel menus. A pushbutton
will be illuminated to indicate that a further choice or action is available by pressing that
pushbutton.

 = Up

 = Down

 = Left (Back)

 = Right (Forward)

3.3.5. Edit and Save Pushbuttons

The Edit and Save pushbuttons (or keys) are used to modify and store user settings within the
selected menu. The Edit pushbutton is illuminated when the current menu contains an editable
setting. The Save pushbutton is illuminated when a change has been made that requires saving.

3–12

To edit a user setting within the selected menu:

5. Press the Edit key. A cursor appears (flashes) on the first line of the

display.

6. If a numerical value is to be entered, use the  (Back) and 

(Forward) keys to move the cursor along the line and select each
digit in turn, and use the  (Up) and  (Down) keys to increment
or decrement the digit.

7. If a non-numerical (mode or feature) menu item is to be selected,

simply change the selection using the  (Up) and  (Down) keys.

8. Press the Save key to save the new setting or press the Edit key to

abandon the operation and return to the original setting.

3.3.6. Menu Structure

The IRD’s menu structure is divided into “section headings” for example: System, Alarms, Input, etc.
Each of these is accessible by scrolling up and down the “root level” of the menu tree. The root level
of the menu tree is accessed by selecting the  (Back) key until the menu can go no further. At this
root level the pages will be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

Each of these section headings then has sub-menus which can be accessed by scrolling  (Forward)
and  (Down). The further into the sub-menus, the longer the page number will get, e.g. 1, 1.1,

1.1.1, etc.

This structure is currently as follows:

3.4. Using the Web Browser

The Web Browser interface is available as a standard feature on all models of the IRD. As of software
version 8.0.0, the IRD can be configured to present one of two web interface modes:

•

Dashboard View – A simplified view showing the most
common options on a single page that is compatible with most
modern web browsers. This feature available when the
RX8XXX/SWO/DASHBOARD license is enabled.

• Advanced View – The classic web interface that exposes all

the options across a number of tab views. This mode is
compatible with the browsers listed in section 3.4.1.

The Dashboard View will be presented by default but both modes have a button in the top right
corner of the web interface to allow the user to switch between them.

3.4.1. Setting Up Web Browser Remote Control

A personal computer (PC) running a Web Browser can be used to configure, control and monitor the
IRD remotely. The following web browsers have been tested:

•

Microsoft Internet Explorer (This is the only browser supported
by MediaKind)

• Mozilla Firefox (Functional but unsupported)

• Google Chrome (Functional but unsupported)

To set up Web Browser control:

RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoders
1553-FGB 101 759 Uen K

www.mediakind.com

3–19

1. Connect the PC to either of the two IP control interfaces on the rear

of the IRD (labelled ETHERNET 1 / 2 or CONTROL 1 / 2).

2. Enter the settings for the relevant control port (IP Address, Subnet

and Gateway) via the front panel Network Settings menu.

If the IRD is connected to an existing network, or is not on the
same subnet as the control PC, assistance from the network administrator may
be required in modifying the network settings.

3. Open a Web Browser application on the PC.

4. Enter the IP address of the IRD into the address field of the Web

Browser. The Status page from the Advanced View or the single
page from the Dashboard View will appear in the Web Browser.

To assist with troubleshooting, the IP control ports will respond to ICMP
PING request messages.

3.4.2. XPO Password Protection

XPO Password Protection forces the user to enter a username and password in order access and
configure the IRD through the web browser interface. If this feature has been enabled
(RX8XXX/SWO/PW) then the user will be confronted with the following prompt.

Figure 3-8 Windows Security

The default settings from the factory are:

User Name: username

Password: password

RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoders
1553-FGB 101 759 Uen K

www.mediakind.com

3–20

When access has been granted for the first time, it is recommended that the XPO password is
changed immediately. This can be changed by navigating to the Device Info > XPO Password
Protection option from the Advanced View:

Figure 3-9 XPO Password Protection Settings

Enable/Disable Password Protection

Enable Password Protection – This control overrides the

•

password protection control. When enabled, the user must
enter their password credentials every time a new web
interface session is connected to the IRD device before being
able to modify its configuration. When disabled (the default),
anyone can gain access to the web interface and modify its
configuration.

Change Password

User Name – Used to enter the new desired user name.

•

• Old Password – Used to enter the current password.

• New Password – Used to enter the new desired password.

• Confirm New Password – Used to confirm the new desired

password.

In order to change the XPO password, all four of these fields must be populated before clicking on
Apply Changes.

If the username or password has been forgotten then please
contact MediaKind Customer Services for steps to reset the password.

3.5. SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network protocol used to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. SNMP consists of a
set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database
schema, and a set of data objects.

The IRD supports SNMP Versions 2C and 3 as a standard feature.

3.5.1. Setting Up SNMP Remote Control

SNMP remote control is enabled by default.

To set up SNMP remote control:

1. Ensure the Web Browser Interface is connected and working and

switch over to the Advanced View mode.

RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoders
1553-FGB 101 759 Uen K

www.mediakind.com

3–29

2. From the browser SNMP tab, select the version of SNMP required

(V2C or V3).

3. Ensure the trap community, read-write community, and read-only

community are configured as public or private in the same way as
the MIB browse or SNMP application being used.

3.5.1.1. SNMP > Parameters

Figure 3-15 SNMP Web Page

• MIB Format – Selects between RX8000 (Default) and RX1290

mode. Setting to RX1290 mode causes the unit to respond to
a subset of the RX1290’s MIBs rather than the standard full
RX8000 MIBs. For further information and advice regarding
this setting contact MediaKind Customer Services

The IRD must be reset for these changes to take effect.

• Version – Enables selection of the SNMP version from a drop-

down menu.

• Sys Services – Enables input of a value for MIB-2 services

that this device primarily offers (MIB-II RFC1213). See MIB-2
for definition.

• System Name – Enables input of a MIB-2 sys name, which

should be an administratively-assigned name.

• Trap Community – Enables input of type of trap community.

• Read Write Community – Enables input of type of read write

community.

• Read Only Community – Enables input of type of read only

community.

RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoders
1553-FGB 101 759 Uen K

www.mediakind.com

3–30

• Location – Enables input of a MIB sys location which is the

physical location of this node.

• Description – Enables input of a MIB sys description which

should be a textual description of the entity.

• Contact – Enables input of a MIB sys contact which should be

a textual identification of the person to be contacted.

• Boot Count – Displays the number of times the unit has been

restarted.

3.5.2. Downloading the MIB

SNMP exposes management data in the form of variables on the managed systems, which describe
the system configuration. The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) stored on each unit
defines which information (variables) should be monitored. The MIB may be downloaded from the
unit as a zip file using the Web Browser interface. These variables can then be queried (and set) by
managing applications.

Please refer to the managing application documentation for compiling third-party MIBs.

The ZIP file is no longer password protected. If an older version of the ZIP

file is downloaded, this may be protected with the password “Stoneham”.

3.6. Director

MediaKind’s Director Over-Air Control (OAC) system is available either as a standard feature or as an
option on all of the RX8000 range IRDs, except for the RX8320 and RX8330C. OAC is a subset of the
Director facility and is a remote control protocol which is used to access the units using MediaKind’s
nCompass Control System. An Over-Air Software Download facility is also provided which allows the
IRD software to be upgraded without a network connection.

For more detailed information on MediaKind Director remote control, contact MediaKind.

3.6.1. Setting up Director Remote Control

For the unit to be controlled via OAC, the control mode of the IRD needs to be set to Director OAC
control mode. This can be achieved either via:

•

The front panel, using menu 5.2 DIRECTOR and sub-menus.

• The web interface using the CA tab page from the Advanced

View mode.

3.6.2. Over-Air Control (OAC) Lockout

When the unit is in OAC control mode, it is possible for the remote control operator to issue a local
lockout command to the IRD. This will effectively deny the local user access to configuring the unit.

However, if a situation occurs whereby the local user needs to regain control over the unit without a
local lockout relinquish command being sent from the OAC control PC, a four-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN) may be entered through the front panel.

RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoders
1553-FGB 101 759 Uen K

www.mediakind.com

3–31

CAUTION: If the PIN is unknown it is possible to recover the PIN from the front

panel. For more details on reseting the local lock out PIN, contact
MediaKind.

The user creates the PIN at lockout time. To obtain the PIN, please consult the person responsible
for the administration of the unit.

3.7. RS232/485 RCP

RS232/485 Remote Control Protocol (RCP) is only available as an option card on the RX8200 IRD.

This enables control of the unit through the RS232/485 serial connector on the rear panel of the
unit, using MediaKind’s proprietary remote control protocol. This feature allows customers, who
may be upgrading their current systems to the RX8000 series, to continue using their current scripts
for IRD control.

For more detailed information about RS232/485 RCP remote control protocols, contact MediaKind.

3.8. Local Control Lockout

Common for all control methods is that the equipment can still be controlled locally from the front
panel interface unless the front panel is disabled. This can be achieved either:

•

Locally using the front panel menu 1.8.1 FRONT PANEL
LOCKOUT to prevent local control from being re-established.

• Remotely using the appropriate remote command, depending

on the remote control method being used.

When front panel lockout is set to ON / ENABLE, the user can still browse and navigate the front
panel menus. However, none of the menu items can be edited (except for Menu 1.8.1 to
enable/disable front panel lockout). The LCD will continue to display summary information screens.

3.9. General Web Browser Pages

The web interface served by the IRD will be one of two modes: the Dashboard View or the
Advanced View.

All references to accessing the web interface throughout this manual are via the Advanced View only
unless specified.

3.9.1. Status

datagrams on specific IP addresses; they are used to provide the current health of the unit / network

RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoders
1553-FGB 101 759 Uen K

www.mediakind.com

3–38

and to indicate whether the unit is ‘spare’ or ‘live’. For more information about system redundancy
within nCC please contact your system administrator.

The controls for this are:

DSM IP – The IP address of the DSM IP packets to be placed

•

on the network.

• DSM Dest Port – The destination port for the DSM packets.

• DSM TTL – User configuration for the time to live filed in the

DSM packets.

• DSM TOS – User configuration of the type of service

(differentiated services field) within the packet.

• DSM TX Interval – Interval in ms between each DSM packet

placed onto the network.

• CSM IP – The IP address of the CSM packets within the

network.

• CSM Dest Port – The destination port for the CSM packets.

• CSM Timeout – Timeout in ms before CSMs are considered to

be absent from the network.

3.9.2.3.5. MAC Address Configuration

This permits the overriding of the MAC addresses used by the Control Ethernet ports and the IP
Input Data Ethernet ports of the IP Input card (1914) and Combined Satellite/IP Input card (1931).

The first 3 octets of the MAC address are the MediaKind OUI, followed by 1 octet identifying the
MediaKind product, and a final pair of octets derived from the serial number of the Base unit.

It is recommended that these settings not be adjusted unless advised
to do so by MediaKind Customer Services.

• EUROCARD MAC Serial - This allows the lower 2 octets of the

IP Input card (1914) and Combined Satellite/IP Input card
(1931), if fitted, to be changed to a manually specified value.

• Default EUROCARD MAC Serial - This is the default value

that will be used for the EUROCARD MAC Serial.

mode to apply to the Remote Control port:

• Half-Duplex

• Full-Duplex

• Serial Remote Protocol Version – This selects which of the

serial remote protocol versions to use:

• RX8000 –This is the default serial remote control protocol to

use which controls most of the functionality available to the
IRD.

• RX1290 – This configures the IRD to follow the RX1290 serial

remote control protocol where possible. Some of the RX1290
functionality may not be available on the IRD and the RX1290
protocol cannot access all of the features supported by the
RX8000, so controlling the IRD using this protocol version will
