Configure Channels 3 & 4
Audio Format = Compression format for the Audio. You can select between the regular DOLBY STEREO AC3 and
MPEG2 / AAC, or PASSTHROUGH in case you feed the unit with dolby 5.1 or THX 7.1 so the original compressed
bitrsteam passes through as is.
– default = AC3
NOTE : if your video source is only outputing compressed bitstreams ( 5.1 / 7.1 / stereo ) you might need to
change this to AC3 PASS HDMI if from HDMI or AC3 PASS SPDIF if from the audio optical input
Dialog Normalization = Level of audio for Dolby Compression
– default = -24
Audio Source = Select the input connector for the AUDIO, as HDMI digital, or OPTICAL or L/R Analog
– default = AUTO
Audio Bitrate = Select the quality for the Audio
– default = 192 kilobits
Audio Gain = Adjust the level for the L/R ANALOG audio input. No effect on the optical or hdmi digital audio as it is
digital and goes from 0 to 100% values
– default = 100
OUT Enable = Address the output of this encoder channel to the wanted frequency modulator out ( A B C D )
Each modulator out has its own frequency on your coax.
If you check A, this video encoder will be sent to the frequency A output
Usually you will check ONE encoder per each of the A B C D frequency modulators out, so there will be one tv service
only per each frequency on the coax, with the maximum quality.
Where needed, multiple encoder channels can be selected to the same frequency out, making a multiplex of more tv
services within the same frequency modulator out. In this case, the video bitrates of each encoder will need to be
decreased as necessary, so the sum of all the videos sent to the same frequency out will not exceed the maximum
bitrate allowed by the frequency ( 36 megabit/s for USA QAM 256 )
The default is selecting A for the first channel, B for the second channel, C for the third channel and D for the fourth
channel, so each frequency will do 1 full quality channel
The Checkbox E send the encoder channel to the ASI data output ( OPTION ) and the default is selected on all
channels, so the ASI out will have the sum of all the encoders ( multiplex )
– default = COPY THE SELECTION AS ON THE PICTURE Here above
Service Provider = The name of the Headend ( any id , or the name of the company ).
– default = PVI for the first channel on the left
– default = PVI for the second channel on the right
Program Name = This is the Program name Lable to recognize this channel. This is Not the channel name which
pop up on the tv screens. The on screen pop up name is set in the SHORT NAME field ahead on this page.
You can set this Program name the same as the Short Name.
As example “ DIRECTV1 “
– default for the left column = HD3
– default for the right column = HD4
SERVICE ID = Is the ID number of this stream.
- in case you use one single frequency out for the two channels, this number must be set differently fro the two channels
– default for the left column = 3 ( displays 0x when saved )
– default for the right column = 4 ( displays 0x when saved )
PMT PID = Id of the PMT Descriptor Stream – do not change unless your application requires it
– default for the left column = 200 ( displays 0x when saved )
– default for the right column = 204 ( displays 0x when saved )
VIDEO PID = Id of the Video Stream – do not change unless your application requires it
– default for the left column = 201 ( displays 0x when saved )
– default for the right column = 205 ( displays 0x when saved )
