Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Consider these recommendations for managing inband data carousels on the DBDS:



The data rate for the carousel should be either 1 or 2 Mbps (megabits per second).



The block size should be 4000 bytes.



The indication interval should be 100 ms (milliseconds).



Depending upon your QAM modulation mode, the sum of your inband data carousel rates (including the

OSM carousel), plus any additional audio-visual content that is combined on the modulator should not
exceed the following totals:



If using 64-QAM modulation, 26 Mbps



If using 256-QAM modulation, 37 Mbps


