Typical HD Transcoder System Overview

The LG HCS6300 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 HCS6300 MUX/MOD feature card.

•One CodePlus 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 HCS6300 and the transcoder card(s).

•DIRECTV ® service. *

•A DIRECTV COM 23 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 DIRECTV.

•Transcode the received digital video and audio streams to MPEG-4 (HCS6700 transcoders) or MPEG-2 (HCS7700/HCS7710 transcoders) 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/VSB 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 HCS6300 can be combined with other channels in the site’s distribution grid.
