Modes 0 and 1 are supported as standard on this release. The
scrambling mechanism, as defined in the DVB-CSA specification, is applied at
the Transport level only. This is configured using nCompass Control.
- Mode 0: No scrambling.
- Mode 1: All components are scrambled by a fixed Control Word (CW),
derived from a clear Session Word (SW). The MX8400 accepts the session
word is via an XML control interface. Any invalid session words will be
rejected (it must be a 12 character hex string).
• Individual transport streams can be scrambled simultaneously with either
DVB CA or BISS but not individual components. The MX8400 will only support
one scrambling method on a single PID.
1.3.5 Single Frequency Networks Functionality
The MX8400 Multiplexer supports up to eight output transport streams with SFN
data. The SFN data for each output transport stream can be configured
independently via nCompass Control.
Note: Please refer to Annex H Setting up the SFN Functionality for further
information.
