About This Manual About This Manual Objective This manual describes how to install, use and maintain the Cisco D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver. Note: The manual describes all available options for the D9824 receiver. Your D9824 receiver may only have some of the features described in this manual.
Chapter 1 Introduction Overview This chapter is a general introduction to the Cisco D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver. It describes the most common applications and interfaces of the receiver. In This Chapter D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver ........2 ...
Chapter 1 Introduction D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver The D9824 Multi Decryption Receiver is designed for satellite content distribution applications requiring Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite (DVB-S) and Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2) reception capabilities with advanced digital outputs for digital tier program distribution. A built-in decoder can decode an MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) high definition (HD) program is also available for analog.

Chapter 1 Introduction On Screen Display support on baseband output NIT Retune Recovery ...
Transport Stream Inputs/Outputs Transport Stream Inputs/Outputs DVB-ASI Output The D9824 receiver has one DVB-ASI output. This output can be used as an input for a DVB-T transmitter or other types of DVB-ASI reception equipment. MPEGoIP Output The MPEGoIP output provides a number of output modes including the capability of carrying a decrypted program for digital tier distribution.
Chapter 1 Introduction The diagram below shows an example of the D9824 receiver used in an MPE application. MPEGoIP Input The MPEGoIP input allows a decoder to process User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)-encapsulated MPEG transport streams (protected streams) from the IP/Ethernet network.
A DR symbol is displayed on the front panel, and the D9824 web GUI displays a D/R in progress status. During a disaster, the receiver will attempt to tune to a different backup transport, based on the search path configured.
Page 30
Chapter 1 Introduction For example, the disaster recovery is configured as follows: Program Origin Transport Backup 1 Backup 2 Backup 3 Entry Channel Number Transport Transport Transport Channel Channel Channel Number Number Number – 1005 When disaster occurs, the receiver will tune to channel 11, as defined on the Backup 1 transport.
Disaster Recovery Uplink Profile Settings Once the receiver detects a failure after the configured signal loss timeout (defined by the uplink), it will initiate a disaster recovery using the PNC uplink Disaster Recovery Profile settings. If the PNC uplink is set to allow local disaster recovery, the disaster recovery profile setting on the unit determines the disaster recovery setting to use (local or uplink).
Chapter 1 Introduction NIT Retune Recovery The Network Information Table (NIT) retune recovery occurs when the tuning parameters on the uplink do not result in a successful tuning lock (for example, modulator settings or transponder signal strength). The receiver will try to tune to the new signal (NIT), and if it does not lock to the new signal during an initial engagement delay of five minutes, it will revert back to the original signal.
Chapter 2 Quick Setup - Read Me First! Overview This chapter provides a quick setup for the Cisco D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver. If you are unsure about which receiver settings to use, contact your local service provider for assistance.

Cisco D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver. Qualified Personnel Only appropriately qualified and trained service personnel should attempt to install, operate, or maintain the D9824 receiver. WARNING: Allow only authorized and qualified service personnel to install, operate, maintain, and service this product. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur.
AC power, see Appendix B - Technical Specifications (on page 349). As Cisco units are designed for continuous operation, some products do not have a power switch. In this case, the mains cord and/or DC power supply cable serve(s) as the mains disconnect device.
Cooling The D9824 receiver is cooled by the use of internal fans. The air intake is from the front and the air outlet is on the rear. Note: Adequate cooling must be provided equaling 107 W (ma ximum) at 25°C per unit to avoid overheating.
Make sure that the power cable is connected to protective ground. See Grounding (on page 21) for more information. The D9824 receiver is equipped with one power supply located in the rear of the chassis. Note the location of the power supply in the event of alarms/warnings resulting in replacement of a power supply.

MPEG forum is a unique technology to enhance the robustness of video traffic over IP networks. The D9824 supports Pro-MPEG FEC Code of Practice (COP) #3 release2 and SMPTE-2022, which is based on the exclusive or (XOR) boolean operator applied to a number of data packets.
Page 253
Configuring Transport Stream Information Choose 1D to use the 1D FEC profile. The 1D FEC profile maps the RTP packet stream across columns (matrix of data packets). The following is an example: Choose 2D to use the 2D FEC profile. The 2D FEC profile maps the RTP packet stream across both the column packets and row packets.
Page 254
Chapter 5 Web GUI Setup and Monitoring The generation of the FEC packets is based on the use of a matrix. The matrix size is defined by the Length (L) and Depth (D) parameters. In the FEC Columns (L) field, set the spacing between non-consecutive packets used to calculate the FEC packet (1 to 20).
Configuring Transport Stream Information Viewing the MPEG over IP Output Status The MOIP Output Status area (MPEG over IP Output Main and Stream pages) displays the actual output bit rates (including FEC) for each data port, the combined user rate for all the configured streams (including FEC), MPEG over IP TS overflow status, and whether there are critical MPEG over IP engine errors.
