Setting Up MPEG Source Connections
After you set up the basic parameters for an MPEG source, complete these steps to
set up the connections from the MPEG source to its associated SCS/MQAM
modulator.
1 On the Set Up MPEG Source window, click the Connectivity tab. The
set up the connections from the MPEG source to its associated SCS/MQAM
modulator.
1 On the Set Up MPEG Source window, click the Connectivity tab. The
Connectivity tab information moves to the forefront with an illustration of any
devices already connected to this MPEG source. (If no device is connected, the
illustration field will be empty).
devices already connected to this MPEG source. (If no device is connected, the
illustration field will be empty).
2 Click Create Port. The Port Number Prompt window opens.
Note: If multiple ports are created on the SCS (when a DCM is used as the SCS),
corresponding ports must be created and modeled accordingly.
corresponding ports must be created and modeled accordingly.
3 Click in the Port Number field and type the first available port number.
Important:
When the output port on the D96xx Re-multiplexer is logically connected to
the input port on the SCS, enter a value of 1 (one) in the Port Number field.
the input port on the SCS, enter a value of 1 (one) in the Port Number field.
When the output port on the D96xx Re-multiplexer is physically connected to
the input port on the MQAM modulator, enter a value of 0 (zero).
the input port on the MQAM modulator, enter a value of 0 (zero).
4 Click in the Transport Stream ID field and type the number that identifies the
transport stream going from this MPEG source to the associated simulcrypt
synchronizer (SCS) or MQAM modulator. This number must correspond with
the ASI input (usually on your network map) on the associated SCS or MQAM
modulator. See Appendix A, Sources and Services Naming Conventions (on page
191) for the correct naming and numbering conventions.
