PowerVu Satellite receiver D9850 The Cisco PowerVu Model D9850 Program Receiver (Figure 1) is designed for satellite content distribution applications requiring 4:2:0 video decoding. The receiver can receive digitally encrypted video, audio, utility data, and vertical blanking interval (VBI) data. Analog Cable Program Distribution Composite video and balanced audio outputs can be connected to analog modulators for analog cable distribution. Four mono audio channels or two stereo pairs are available for primary audio programs, as well as secondary audio programs (SAP). For example, primary program audio could be carried on one of the stereo pairs, while SAP audio is carried on the other stereo pair. Digital Cable Program Distribution Uplink-addressable transport output provides MPEG program streams for digital tier program delivery, so quality video programs can be distributed efficiently to households equipped with digital set-top boxes. Digital Program Replacement Digital program replacement (DPR) allows programmers to transparently switch their primary service to an alternative service in the digital domain in blackout applications for cable digital tier distribution. This feature remaps the packet identifier (PID) information from the primary service to an alternate service, allowing downstream devices to continue to operate seamlessly. This helps make alternative programming available in the digital tier without operator intervention. Cable Headend Advertisement Insertion For flexible advertisement insertion configurations, this receiver provides four types of outputs: Dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) cue tone Cue trigger support, with eight open collector outputs One programmable contact closure Digital program insertion (DPI) messaging using Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) output Low-Speed Data Output Asynchronous utility data (up to 38.4 kbps) is available through an RS-232 interface. IP Data Output IP data can be received and output at rates up to 50 Mbps. Main Features Four L-band inputs PowerVu conditional access with Data Encryptions Standard (DES) or Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) descrambling Support for Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) conditional access 4:2:0 NTSC and PAL (B, G, I, D, M, and N) video decoding Aspect ratio conversion (4:3, 16:9 and 14:9) with Active Format Descriptor (AFD) control MPEG and Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio decoding Four audio outputs providing either two stereo pairs (four mono channels) of balanced audio each with the ability to use part of their output for applications such as SAP, DTMF, etc. Line 21 closed caption and V-chip support Utility data via RS-232 IP data output up to 50 Mbps over Ethernet DVB VBI (WST, WSS, and VPS) PowerVu VBI, including North American Broadcast Teletext Standard (NABTS) and World System Teletext (WST) DVB or Imitext subtitling DTMF cue tone and cue trigger outputs for advertisement insertion Fingerprint trigger Field upgradeable software and security Front panel liquid crystal display (LCD) for control and monitoring 64 user-editable preset configurations Uplink addressable decoder output control (VBI, audio routing, DPI, and ASI output) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for setup, control, and monitoring Web browser interface for easy setup, control, and monitoring Digital program replacement providing uplink control of program replacement in blackout areas Optional Features ASI input (up to 68.5 Mbps) SDI video output with embedded audio AES-3id digital audio output
