• Audio output consists of two stereo pairs. When the programmer provides multiple
audio choices, the audio pair can be selected. Programmers can tag audio channels with
a language so the receiver selects the audio material based on the specified language.
• MPEG-2 video and Dolby
®
Digital/MPEG Layer 1 audio are employed for video
decode/decompression and audio compression respectively.
• Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI).
• ASI input that decrypts and decodes the selected service.
• Ethernet port for SNMP control and/or IP data pass through.
• Memory to recall the operating configuration when power sags or is removed.
• Security features include Motorola DigiCipher
II security technology.
• A two line, 40-character front panel with a time-out backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
• The DigiCipher II system allows for retune events in which a programmer sends
over-the-satellite messages to specified receivers to change the service they output for a
specified time period, then return to a specified service. During a retune event, the user
is locked out from editing this menu to ensure that the receiver does not get lost when
returning from the retune event.
• 8PSK (Phase Shift Keying) modulation with turbocodes for matched transponders.
• Support of GigE Transport Stream and GigE Digital Storage Medium Command and
Control (DSMCC).
• Disaster Recovery for L-Band signal loss.
• Decrypts up to 64 Services.
• ASI input and output supports rates up to 54 Mbps. Other rates will be supported in a
future firmware release.
