5.2 About FAST Options
The FAST options are linked to three option registers:
• Register 1 is for Data Rate, ACM, and CnC options;
• Register 2 is for Modulation and Demodulation types, Optical Interface, and AUPC options.
• Register 3 is for the K4 GZip lossless compression and decompression, Net Spec (DVB-S2,
