Modulation/FEC: The modulations and supported code rates are shown in Figure 31. The
supported modes are selectable in the drop down list in the Modulation/FEC field. The listings will
depend on unit licensing and the selected mode in the Modulation Mode field at the top of the
menu.

The remaining settings include (Bold indicates default):
Pilot Insertion (Only available in DVB-S2 Modes)
- Enable
- Disable
Description: When enabled, every 16 slots of 90 symbols the modulator will insert 36
non-modulated symbols to aid in receiver synchronization. The use of a pilot allows the
receiver to maintain carrier recovery, even when the user data payload cannot be
decoded.
Frame Size (Only available in DVB-S2 Modes)
- Normal (64,800 bits)
- Short (16,200 bits)
Description: Short frames introduce more overhead but give a shorter encapsulation
delay. Short frames are 4 time shorter than normal frames.
Spectral Inversion
- Normal
- Inverted
