ASI Input
ASI Input Remultiplexer ( option )
If you do not plan to use the ASI Input, skip this step
The purpose of the ASI Input is to inject to the modulator outputs external channels from tuners or other encoders,
together with the built-in video encoders.
You can feed external channels from our PVI MTRX multi tuner receivers, adding as example off air local channels
to the qam cable modulation out of this unit.
IMPORTANT: when adding an external channel to the output the total bitrate shall not exceed the maximum allowance
of each modulator ( a b c d ) otherwise all channels with that modulator will not be receivable.
To check the current bitrate status of each modulator, check on the welcome web page on the menu,
the maxout bitrate and the current bitrate, as well the overflow green/red dot alarm
On the web interface select ASI Input
Connect the ASI Feed to the ASI input BNC connector, max rate is 214 Megabit/s
1) A B C D E = Select the modulator A B C D or the ASI OUT ( E ) you want to work with
2) PASS THROUGH / MULTIPLEX = In PASS-TRHOUGH, all the data from the ASI will be sent to the selected output on
top ( A B C D E ) with no remultiplexing, nor ADD/DROP selective selection.
In MULTIPLEX MODE you will be able to select from the list of available services on the left which ones you want to
output to the selected modulator ( A B C D )
Default = MULTIPLEX
3) REFRESH INPUT = Scans the ASI signal to find available pids and services, EAS, Dynamic PSIP
