IRD-2600 / IRD-2800 Integrated Receiver Decoders

1.1.2. Applications

The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 Integrated Receiver Decoders can be implemented in a wide range of applications. The following is a list of some of the typical uses for the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800:

• Satellite Receiving

• Cable Head-end Receiving

• Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG)

• Telecommunication, SDH or microwave

• Network / Professional Video Distribution

• Distance Learning

• Business TV

• Radio Reception

• DVB-CI Decryption for transport stream re-multiplexing

• Bilingual audio transmission

The following sub-paragraphs provides detailed description on various applications.

1.1.2.1. Broadcast Redistribution

The primary application of the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 is reception and distribution of DVB broadcast signals for cable or local broadcasting.

1.1.2.2. Stand Alone Decoder

The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 may be utilized without an input receiver as an online decoder for a DVB signal. This may be utilized for monitoring purposes within a broadcast center, for editing components of the DVB bit stream, and for redistribution of local line input such as prerecorded video programs.

1.1.2.3. Internal Corporate Distribution

A growing application for DVB redistribution is internal corporate training and communications. Both training and internal communications can greatly benefit from the decoding and redistribution of DVB signals originating from a central broadcast point within a company.

1.1.2.4. Data Transfer

The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 can be implemented as a solution for remote locations requiring data links, where no proper line communications exist. In this role, the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 decodes data from a DVB signal broadcast via satellite or other Telco interfaces.

One of the advanced features of the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 is simultaneous high-speed and low-speed data transfer. Data transfer from the encoder is one directional. The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 has no feedback, response, or acknowledgement capabilities.

P/N 2349-72784-00 Page 1-5

User Manual

Chapter 1. Overview

Low Speed Data

The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 enable Low Speed Data (LSD) transfer rates up to 115.2 Kbps over a serial RS-232 port. The LSD interface supports filtering of the data encapsulated in PES packets (stream types “0xBD”-private_stream_1 and “0xBF”-private_stream_2). In addition, data filtering level can be according DVB Asynchronous Data streaming (EN 301

192) which includes additional 3 bytes of header information in front of the data information.

The following filtering levels are provided:

• Entire Transport Packet

• Transport Payload (184 bytes if no adaptation field, else adaptation is also stripped).

• PES payload (PES header stripped).

• DVB streaming (PES header and 3 byte pes_data_packet header stripped).

High Speed Data

a. The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 enable High Speed Data (HSD) transfer rates up to 20

Mbps over a balanced RS-422 port. The high-speed transfer rates are limited by the maximum rate supported by the RS-422 interface and cable lengths.

b. IRD HSD rates should be set slightly higher than those on the encoder (5% higher).

Optimal rate is best determined by trial and error. Too low a rate yields increased bit errors. Conversely, too high a rate yields a stream that is too bursty. This is not a problem if the target equipment (usually a PC) has a large enough buffer to compensate for incidental burst size. To adapt the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 to work with a variety of encoders, bit-order can be reversed.

c. The following packetizing methods of data are provided:

• Entire Transport Packet

• Transport Payload (184 bytes if no adaptation field, else adaptation is also stripped).

• PES payload (PES header stripped).

1.1.2.5. Descrambling

The IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 are equipped with internal DVB descrambler and two independent DVB-CI Common Interface slots.

The internal DVB Descrambler is usable for:

• Scopus CAS-5000 Encrytion system (CODICrypt

• DSNG-CA (BISS) fixed Key Encryption system and BISS-E.

The DVB-CI deciphers encrypted signals from a DVB signal source, by means of an authorized Smart Card and a CA-specific CAM (Conditional Access Module).

The encryption standards supported by the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 are:

• CA Method: Multicrypt, Simulcrypt

• CAS: Irdeto

3.1. Introduction

This chapter describes the procedures required for the operation of the IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 Integrated Receiver Decoders.

In addition to the Operation Guide, the following manuals are available for Terminal Control of the IRD:

Basic Terminal Control Protocol (P/N 2349-72175-03.1) Advanced Terminal Control Protocol (P/N 2349-72175-03.2) Master-Slave Terminal Control Protocol (P/N 2349-72175-03.3)

3.1.1. IRD Operation and Management

Both IRD-2600 and IRD-2800 Integrated Receiver Decoders can be manually managed from the IRD Front Control Panel, locally by a PC Terminal or remotely, from the Uplink through the incoming Bit Stream.

Manual management of the IRD is provided from the IRD Front Control Panel by the keypad on the panel, or by using an optional Infrared Remote Control. The LCD on the panel displays the menus and options of the IRD embedded software. The Infrared Remote Control can be ordered through a local SCOPUS Network Technologies Ltd. product supplier.

Management from the Uplink is achieved with the CODICO

NMS-4000 Network Management System. Management from the PC Terminal requires a serial line (RS-232) communication cable to be connected between the IRD and a communication port on the PC. The Terminal Control software is a command line prompt accessible via any PC with Terminal Software installed. For details, refer to Chapter 2 above.
