ASI Output Menu

Press the 56 buttons until the ASI Output menu appears. This menu allows the user to configure the digital ASI output. It is used to define the format of the ASI output and to enable PID aliasing.

Note: The DSR-6000 has the ability to output an MPEG-2 transport multiplex stream at a data rate of either 54 Mbps or 81 Mbps, depending on whether PID aliasing is enabled or not. When PID aliasing is enabled, the DSR-6000 outputs an MPEG-2 transport stream that contains only one MPEG service and at a data rate of 54 Mbps. This MPEG service corresponds to the service content that is available at the analog video and audio outputs (the monitored service). Otherwise, when PID aliasing is disabled, the DSR-6000 outputs an MPEG-2 transport stream at a data rate of 81 Mbps, which contains all of the MPEG services that the DSR-6000 receives from the uplink. Up to four services are decrypted, as selected by the Decrypt Setup menu.

Enable Field

Default: On

Note: The ASI output can be disabled by control information from the Uplink

Programmer (Broadcast Network Controller [BNC]).

When ASI output is disabled by the BNC, this field is not editable and displays Lock Off. Otherwise, if the BNC enables the ASI output, this field is editable with the default value (On). Press the 56 buttons to display the options (On and Off).

Pid Alias Field

Default: On

When this field is set On, the DSR-6000 remaps all PIDs to a constantly-set of values and incorporates the remapped value in the output transport stream. If the Uplink Programmer (Broadcast Network Controller [BNC]) enforces PID aliasing, the PID Alias field becomes uneditable from the front-panel and the PID Alias field displays Lock On. When this field is set Off, the DSR-6000 does not remap PID values. Any incoming PIDs values are retained and sent to the output transport stream.

Format Field

Default: Packet

If the PID Alias field is set to OFF, the Format field is non-editable and it displays the default (Packet).

With PID Alias set to ON, use this field to specify the transport stream packet structure (either as a burst of contiguous bytes [Packet option], or as individual bytes [Byte option]).
