4.3 Serial Transport Stream Input/Output (DVB-ASI/SMPTE
310M) – Option 8702
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).
