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.
