Model and Transcoding Capacity

•MPEG-2 HD and/or SD ASI and GigE outputs

•Web Server GUI for remote operation

•Advanced audio processing - Supports pass-through and decoding/decompression of Dolby AC-3 and pass-through of the Dolby E audio compression algorithm

•Message Mailbox - Supports text message delivery from the uplink for display on the IRD’s front panel.

•DPI support - Digital (SCTE-35) ad-splicing message support in both broadcast and unit- addressable formats

•DTMF cue tone and Form-C contact closure relay terminals for each processed service

•Scalable service transcoding - shown in Figure 1-1.

The DSR-6400 Series includes a range of products differentiated by the number of services the units are able to simultaneously receive and transcode. The DSR-6401 transcodes one service, the DSR- 6402 transcodes two, the DSR-6403 transcodes three, and the DSR-6404 transcodes four services. For setup purposes, the DSR-6400 Series introduces the concept of "processor" or PR in the user interface. A PR number in the user interface identifies the individual service processor path and the unique configuration settings assigned to (or the status information that pertains to) each program- mer service being received in a multi-service unit. Each path transcodes a single service according to its own unique configuration settings.

The DSR-6400 Series provides service transcoding that processes up to four MPEG-4 HD input services into four MPEG-2 HD/SD output service pairs (up to eight total services). Figure 1-1shows how service capacity varies by model.
