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]).
