Connecting the DSR-6400 Series

To connect a DSR-6400 Series to the GigE signal, see "GigE Input" on page 31. To connect a DSR-6400 Series to an ASI signal, see "ASI Input" on page 31. To connect a DSR-6400 Series to an RF signal:

1.Determine which satellite, transponder, Virtual Channel Table (VCT) number, and Virtual Channel is to be used. Contact the programmer for this system information so that the desired services can be received.

2.Connect the desired L-Band (satellite antenna LNB or LNB signal splitter) source cable to RF Input Port 1 through 8, as directed by the programmer.

Note: LNB power can be enabled for RF Input Port 1.

3.To view video and On-Screen Diagnostics (OSD) during installation, connect the OSD Video Output on the back panel to a 75-ohm video monitor or television with composite video input (standard definition).

Note: The unit generates time-specific ad insertion cue tones and relays. The programmer can include these messages in the encoded signal.

4.If cue tones are needed and made available, connect the differential Cue Tone+, Cue Tone-, and Ground terminals on the unit to the 600-ohm device receiving the tones.

Note: The unit provides an alarm relay that can be used to signal an alarm condition. To indicate an alarm, the unit provides a short-circuit electrical connection between the NC and CM terminals and an open-circuit electrical connection between the NO and CM terminals. With this configuration, the unit is able to signal an alarm, even for the loss of AC power.

5.Plug the unit into a power source. Verify that the LCD screen is lit.

6.Proceed with the installation using the front panel menus.

7.For details on web server GUI, see "Remote Operation" on page 21.
