1 About This Product

1.1 Introduction

This product is a new generation integrated receiver decoder to support the growing
demands for multi-format, multi-standard video delivery and distribution. It can receive
digital signals from several of inputs (DVB-S/S2, DVB-C (optional), DVB-T/ISDB-T (optional)
and ASI), decrypt, and process/select programs to various outputs including CVBS, HDMI,
SD/HD SDI and ASI. It supports multi-channel descrambling, multiplexing, external
table/data insertion, transcoding and transmodulating. It also supports video decoding with
two audio channels. With remote web-based management interface, it is ideal to support
advanced application such as content distribution, real-time signal conversion and
transmission.

1.2 Safety

 To avoid electric-shock hazards, do not open the receiver; refer service to qualified

personnel only.

 Do not expose the device in the sunlight, and keep it away from the heat source.
 Do not block ventilation holes of the device so that air can circulate freely.
 Switch the device off whenever it remains out of service for an extended period.
 Be sure to turn the device off and disconnect the AC power cord before cleaning the

receiver surface.

 The apparatus shall be connected the mains socket outlet with a protective earthing

connection

 The appliance coupler used as the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
 This product has gone through regulated EMC test and meets with EMC safety

requirement.

( Such tests are conducted in a controlled EMC environment. A controlled
EMC environment exists in a building where the installation has been designed

5

having special regards to EMC, and where technical personnel are present with
experience of EMC technology.)

man-machine interface, and with less limits in space. WEB Management is recommended.

3.4.1 WEB Management Connecting

Connection Instruction for UMH 160R-Base:

PIC-3.4-1

Connection Instruction for UMH 160R-AD:

PIC-3.4-2

1. Connect the “MANAGEMENT” port of the IRD to a network switch and connect the
management PC/server to the same network switch.

20

2. The IRD default IP address is 192.168.1.16. Please modify the management
server’s IP address or IRD IP address to be in the same IP section. To ensure that
the equipment is smoothly connected to the network.

3. Open any web browser (e.g. Mozilla, internet explorer, safari and etc.), input the
equipment’s IP address in format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx refers to
IRD’s IP address) and press ENTER button to confirm. The browser will attempt to
connect to the device. If succeed, a login page will appear. (see PIC-3.4.2)

Note: Through WEB browser, you can manage several pieces of HD IRD at the
same time, as long as those equipments are connected to the server via Network

Switch. Make sure that the equipment and server’s IP address should be in the

same section. Nevertheless, Subnet Mask and Gateway should be the same both
the server and the equipment.

frequency, every transponder has one frequency, and you can get this
parameter from the satellite program provider.

 SYMBOL RATE (KBaud): every transponder has one symbol rate; you can

get this parameter from the satellite program provider.

 LNB Power Supply: LNB voltage is the power that supply to the LNB in order

30

to receive satellite signal with different polarization. Generally 18V is for
Horizontal while 13V is for Vertical.

 LNB 22 KHz: Generally this is used to control 22KHz switch, typically used for

LNB with double L.O. in Ku band. “ON” is for high L.O and “OFF” is for low

L.O.

 LNB LO. Type: this is the type of LNB, including Ku band, C band, universal

and wide band, which also can be obtained from the LNB provider. It usually
stays the same with Frequency Range.

 LNB LO. Frequency: this is the LNB’s local oscillation (LO) frequency, every

LNB have one or two oscillation frequencies which can be obtained from the
LNB provider, or you can check on the LNB label. The value is between 5000
and 6000.

Sometimes the parameters may change; it is advisable to check through

www.lyngsat.com for the updated satellite parameters.

 SATELLITE FREQUENCY (MHz): this is the satellite down conversion

frequency, every transponder has one frequency, and you can get this

31

parameter from the satellite program provider.

 SYMBOL RATE (KBaud): every transponder has one symbol rate; you can

get this parameter from the satellite program provider.

 LNB LO. Frequency: this is the LNB’s local oscillation (LO) frequency,

every LNB have one or two oscillation frequencies which can be obtained
from the LNB provider, or you can check on the LNB label. The value is
between 5000 and 6000.

 LNB Power Supply: LNB voltage is the power that supply to the LNB in

order to receive satellite signal with different polarization. Generally 18V is
for Horizontal while 13V is for Vertical.

In this page, user can manage the configuration setting related to the device decryption and
descrambling capability.

PIC-3.4-32

 COMMON INTERFACE is used to interface between the pay-per-view card and

the receiver. This is a defined standard that enables the addition of Conditional
Access Module (CAM) in a DTV receiver to adapt it to different kinds of
cryptography.

39

o CI MULTIDECYPT MODE:

 CombinedPMT: convert the PMTs of all selected programs together

to a CAPMT and then send this CAPMT to CAM for processing. This
setting is in order to let the IRD work more compliantly with some
special CAMs. If the CAM can’t decrypt programs normally, user can
try to select this option.

 MultiPMT: convert PMTs of the selected programs to corresponding

CAPMT respectively, and then send each CAPMT to CAM module
for processing. This is the default setting.

o CI Bitrate Mode: Set the max output bit rate of the CAM.

 BISS (Basic Interoperable Scrambling System): is a satellite signal scrambling

system developed by the European Broadcasting Union and a consortium of
hardware manufacturers. There are two types:

o BISS-1, transmission are protected by a 12 digit hexadecimal “session key”

that is agreed by the transmitting and receiving parties prior to transmission.
The key is entered into both the encoder and decoder, this key then forms
part of the encryption of the digital TV signal and any receiver with
BISS-support with correct key will decrypt the signal.

o BISS-E (E for encrypted), is a variation where the decoder has stored one

secret BISS-key entered by for example a rights holder. This is unknown to
the user of the decoder. The user is then sent a 16-digit hexadecimal code,

which is entered as a “session key”. This session key is then mathematically

combined internally to calculate a BISS-1 key that can decrypt the signal.

o BISS-E ID, an identification ID given prior to transmission and reception.

Usually a standard CAM can support Max. 72Mbit data processing unless it

has instruction for higher bit rate support. Selecting a wrong CAM output bit rate will
cause video mosaic issue because the actual processed data exceeds the CAM Max
handling capability.
