Transcoder Product Description

Typical HD Transcoder System Overview

The LG HCS6320 MUX/MOD feature card, when used with LG CodePlus series transcoders in a CodePlus card frame, represents an eight-program HDTV solution for commercial and institutional MATV systems (hotels, hospitals, etc.).

A typical Transcoder System with MUX/MOD functionality includes:

•An HCS6320 MUX/MOD feature card.

•One CodePlus HCS7720 HD transcoder card for each HD program offered in the facility’s MATV system—up to eight programs supported.

•A CodePlus series card frame specified for both the HCS6320 and the transcoder card(s).

•DISH Network ® service. *

•A DISH Network ViP ® 222k satellite STB for each transcoder card. *

•A 19-inch rack for mounting. *

•Miscellaneous cables and installation hardware (see also setup information on page 6). *

The integrated elements of the Transcoder System:

•Receive up to eight HD programs from DISH Network.

•Transcode the received digital video and audio streams to MPEG-2 transport streams.

•Encrypt the transcoded digital data streams with Pro:Idiom content protection.

•Multiplex the encrypted streams into four streams of two programs each.

•Modulate and upconvert the multiplexed streams in four contiguous RF channels.

A Pro:Idiom compatible television with a QAM tuner is required to view premium HD content. A proper session ID must be set at the TV in order for Pro:Idiom decryption to be enabled. LG’s Pay-Per-View (PPV) partners can set up this session through their interface. LG’s Free- To-Guest (FTG) Mode of operation also enables Pro:Idiom decryption.

Note: The RF output from the HCS6320 can be combined with other channels in the site’s distribution grid.

* Purchased separately.
