Serial Transport Stream Input/Output (DVB-
ASI/SMPTE 310M) Option 
 
General Information 
Install Location: Any slot except 1-1 and 2-1. 
I/O: (1) 75Ω Female BNC Input, (1) 75Ω Female BNC Output 
Supported Formats: DVB-ASI, 310M 
Description: This card provides either DVB-ASI or 310M input and output. The card 
will provide 310M output only if the input TS is 19.39 Mb/sec. When the card is in 
ASI mode, the TS bitrate for both the input and output is from 1.5 Mb/sec – 160 
Mb/sec. When the card is in SMPTE-310M mode, the bitrate for both input and 
output must be 19.39 Mb/sec. The output jack on this card is an active loop-through 
(i.e. a re-serialized TS). The output will be the same type that the input is set for (e.g. 
310M or ASI). The card can be used to provide an ASI TS output from another type 
of input on the unit (e.g. 8VSB). 
 
To Edit the Input Option 
To edit this input card, use the following steps: 
1  Press the Input button. 
Note: For Configuration 2 units, select RDS1 or RDS2, then press Enter.

3  Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to the "ASI/310M" card of the 
specific slot (e.g. 2-3). Notice the location diagram in the upper right corner of the 
screen changes as the cursor moves by each card. 
 
4  Press the Enter button once to display the Status screen for the ASI/310M card. 
5  Press the Enter button again to display the Edit screen for the ASI/310M card.
