Chapter 1
Introduction
1. WHAT ARE THE SDR400, DEC400, and DTR400?
The OmniDigital 400 Series of models share a common hardware platform, common software, and similar options and features. The basic models, before considering their options, vary by the type of input hardware installed.
The SDR400 receiver is an MPEG-2 and Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standards-compliant QPSK satellite receiver/decoder. The SDR400 receiver accepts satellite signals provided by standard LNBs used with C- or Ku-band satellite reception or other QPSK modulated signals (such as S-band), provided they are in the input range of 950 to 2150 MHz. The SDR400 receiver comes with a silicon tuner for superior sensitivity that demodulates the carrier to a digital baseband signal.
The DEC400 model includes a primary input using a DVB-ASI coax input capable of supporting transport streams to the decoder limit of 150 Mbps, plus a user selectable secondary input using SPI parallel input.
The DTR400 model includes an ATSC compliant 8VSB (8 level Vestigial Side
B
and) Terrestrial DTV broadcast tuner from 50 to 860 MHz. The DTR400 decode process can manage SDTV digital signals but cannot decode the High
Definition video. The DTR400 includes, in the basic model, the ability to decode the ATSC audio scheme, Dolby Digital audio, into one analog stereo pair.
[Optional in the SDR400 and DEC400.]
Regardless of which model is chosen, the OmniDigital receiver or decoder is intended to be a cost effective solution to which the purchaser adds options to configure his or her unit as needed. All receiver/decoder models output analog video and one stereo pair of analog audio. All models handle NTSC and PAL video formats. All models will decode both MP@ML 4:2:0 video (normally used in distribution on cable and for SDTV terrestrial signals) and the 4:2:2P@ML video format, used by broadcasters, needed for post-processing. None of the models will decode and output the MP@HL 4:2:0 video commonly referred to as
HDTV. (Note that 8VSB local broadcasts may or may not contain MP@ML
SDTV video format. Check with your local television broadcaster.)
All models offer an option that outputs a second stereo pair of analog audio.

Introduction
See the following pages for specific features.
The OmniDigital unit is installed and controlled by the operator. The front panel has its own dedicated microprocessor. Your input is made using front panel liquid crystal display (LCD) menus, knobs, and pushbuttons. The receiver provides an
EIA232 or EIA422 interface to a local network controller, such as a local PC, that allows electronic duplication of the commands and queries available to your on the front panel.
1.1 What are MPEG-2, DVB-S, and ATSC?
The Motion Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) generated standards for defining compressed digital video, compressed digital audio, and a scheme to transport multiple video, audio, and other data programs. It is published as ISO13818. All models are compliant with the –1 transport standard and –2 video standard, and the –3 audio standard, sometimes referred to as DVB audio. DVB standards extend the MPEG-2 standards defining methods to implement additional features. The features implemented in the SDR400 meet DVB-S requirements for Satellite delivered signals. The SDR400 and DEC400 can also use the optional D
OLBY
D
IGITAL
™ AC-3™ audio scheme selected by ATSC for North
American broadcast, and will output the data stream containing 5.1 channel audio. (The D
OLBY
D
IGITAL
™ AC-3™ audio scheme is standard in the DTR400.)
The 400 Series units can be operated manually on a stream that is MPEG2compliant but not DVB-compliant or ATSC-compliant by directly entering the PID numbers for video, audio, data, and PCR (program clock reference) if needed.
Additionally, the SDR400 QPSK tuner is designed to receive Digicipher
®
II to allow reception of unencrypted DCII signals. [“Universal key” “open” encrypted
DCII cannot be decrypted. Check your program provider before attempting this application.]
The MPEG-2 standards provide for a serial stream of digitized video or audio to be cut into 184-byte payloads and included in a 188-byte packet. The four bytes of header include a Packet ID (PID) number to identify members of that data stream. The 188-byte packet may be Reed-Solomon encoded for delivery over noisy channels such as a satellite, to guard against transmission errors making it a 204-byte packet. The SDR400 and DEC400 handle either 188- or 204-byte packets. The DTR400 handles the packets specified by ATSC (and adds bytes to make a 204 byte DVB-ASI compliant packet for the ASI Out option). Video is carried in one data stream using packets with one PID number label; audio (and other elements of the service) is in other data streams under other PID number labels. Multiple streams are multiplexed together, and then transmitted. A program, or service, can be demultiplexed out of a multiple service stream or single service transport stream by selecting the PID numbers in manual mode.

Introduction
The DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) consortium generated and documented methods that extend the MPEG-2 system to allow standardization of the supporting elements of a digital transmission scheme, including critical elements such as channel (service) definition tables (e.g., PID tables) for networks, channels, programs, events, and ancillary elements such as Teletext handling, program guides, and more. These DVB definitions allow naming services and identifying audio or subtitle streams by language, for example. In auto mode, the
SDR400 and DEC400 will display service name and other DVB provided information to assit your use. Similarly, the ATSC standard A65 includes PSIP
(Program and System Information Protocol) data to identify channel information, program names and similar. The Service (Channel name) is displayed when present.

Figure 1-4. What the DEC400 Does
The decoder can process either 188- or 204-byte packets, no error correction is supported at the input of the unit, and so a level of Quality of Service should be negotiated with the Network Provider.
The DEC400 is configured to select a single video service and other audio/data components from the multiple services on the incoming transport stream and present them at the outputs.
6. THE DTR 400 8VSB TERRESTRIAL RECEIVER
The DTR400 8VSB terrestrial receiver provides off-air reception of digitally transmitted standard definition television signals. The DTR400 is designed t o receive 8VSB (vestigial side band) modulated terrestrial signals that meet ATSC standards. The DTR400 includes a more sensitive tuner and demodulator tha n typical consumer receivers that can allow reception sites such as cable headends to process the 8VSB into re-transmission quality video and audio for use in their analog cable plant, as well as provide SAP (secondary audio program) when multilingual programm ing is transmitted. The DTR400 may also be used as a broadcast quality receiver for monitoring. See Figure 1-5 for a typical terrestrial transmission system.
An important application is to provide the transport stream output on ASI (option ) to allow real-time monitoring or re-transmission while supplying he transport stream to other ASI input local equipment that uses the transport stream, such a s a remultiplexer.
C onnections
The DTR400 receiver interfaces directly to existing VHF-UHF broadcast receive antennas. Generally, existing anten nas that can receive suitable analog from the same transmit location and with similar signal strength will perform satisfactorily as an input of 8VSB modulated signals.

Introduction
6.2 What the Terrestrial Receiver Does
The DTR400 receiver accepts terrestrially broadcast ATSC compatible 8VSB signals and d emodulates the transport stream to baseband. That transport stream may be output on ASI if the ASIOUT option is installed, for use in adddrop groomers and transraters or QAM modulators, if desired. The transport stream received in the one RF channel may contain multiple services. The receiver may be configured to select a SDTV single video service and other audio/data components, and present them at the output.
The DTR400 will not decode the HDTV formats used by the major networks.

HDTV (High Definition) signals are typically 1920 pixels x 1080i lines or 720p lines and demand more meory and a larger decoder than is included in the DTR400. The DTR400, when tuned to an
8VSB signal that is HDTV or moves from SDTV to HDTV formats will rema in locked to the 8VSB signal, but present a black screen video output. If the
DTR400 is locked to the signal and outputting the correct audio, check that the video is SDTV, not HDTV fromats.
7. GUIDED TOUR
7.1 Constr uction
T he Receiver is constructed, using a screened, self-ventilated modular system.
A ll operational inputs and outputs are via rear-panel connectors (monitor outputs are available at the front panel). The unit may be operated freestanding or mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack. 2 U rack height is recommended, 1 U for the equipment and a 1 U ventilation panel above it. Fan failure and thermal alarms are included and users are advised to hook up a contact closure based annunciator (alarm) or use the remote control protocol to remote monitor for thermal alarms that may precede loss of output.

Introduction
7.2 Front Panel LEDs
There are four LED to the left of the main Display that are important in setting up and monitoring the 400 OmniDigital unit. The Alarm LED indicates one or more alarm condition exists when the LED is red. See later chapters on the alarms, how to set their limits and how to mask unwanted alarms. The remote control
LED flashes when the rear panel is communicating, and remains lighted red after a command is received and implemented, and extingushes after your begin to use the front panel Edit/Save functions. Authorized indicates he transport stream is not encrypted. Lock LED shows the tuner/demod has found a siganl and is makign it available to the decode function.
7.3 Front Panel Audio and Video Monitoring
Three connectors provide monitoring points for the analog video and the two analog audio output channels.
Inputs to and outputs from the unit are connected via the rear panel. Figure 1-8
and Figure 1-9 show the Series 400 Receivers and Decoder rear panels.

Installation
1. UNPACKING THE UNIT
Please inspect the carton on receipt and note damage to the carton and inspect for possible unit damage. Please open the carton and unpack carefully. Locate the owner’s manual, power cord, and the alarms Quick Disconnect (male) terminals (two) and the two or four audio connectors (snap-together XLR).
2. BEFORE MOUNTING
The 400 Series chassis provided for two remote control configurations. By changing internal jumpers, the rear panel DB-9 connector can be either EIA232or
EIA485. Factory default is EIA232. To change to EIA485, please place the unit on a static dissipative technical workbench and remove the top cover. Remove three screws on rear top cover, two main screws on side at rear, the rearmost of the three “ear” mounting screws on each side and loosen the remaining ear mounting screws. Left slight at rear and pull back and off. The jumpers are to be set as in this table for either EIA2323 or EIA485. After setting the jumpers, top assembly is the reverse of disassembly. Make sure the top cover lip is under the front panel extrusion before installing rear panel screws, then install side screws and tighten ear screws.

Installation
3. MOUNTING
The unit is designed for installation in an EIA standard 19-inch (480 mm) equipment rack. When mounting it in the rack, use pan or round head screws and washers in all four front panel mounting locations. This ensures a secure mount for the size and weight of the unit. You must supply screws matching your rack.
4. POSITIONING
To prolong service life, pay special attention that the environment in which the unit is being used is free of dust and other airborne particles.
Make sure the unit is operated in a temperature-controlled environment. Never place a unit near a heat source. Do not install a unit in areas of high humidity or where there is any danger of water or condensate dripping into or on the unit.
Allow a 1.75-inch (44 mm) air gap above and below receivers for cooling purposes, or alternate receivers with low-power consumption equipment that does not block the top-to-bottom air flow of the receiver chassis. Never install multiple units in such a way that the air intake from one unit aligns with the outlet of another.
The 400 Series chassis includes a temperature sensor that can trigger alarms if it is over-temperature. This is intended to allow you to observe a fan failure, if it occurs, and not a suggested ‘limit’ for temperature operation. Long-term reliability is best obtained with consistently cool environments.
5. ALARM MONITORING
Note that the rear panel relay is normally open with power off.
Fan failure and thermal alarms are included. We recommend hooking up a contact closure based annunciator alarm (or use remote monitoring) for thermal alarms that may precede loss of output.
Additional alarm conditions that you wish to monitor are outlined in Chapter 7, menu group 4
6. CONNECTORS
Inputs to and outputs from the unit are connected via the rear panel. The figures showing the 400 Series receivers/decoder rear panels are in section 7-4.
Also, see Chapter Two, Specifications, for a Table of Connectors

Quick Start Initial Set Up
1. INITIAL RECEIVER SETUP
The procedure for first-time setup is outlined here. These steps should get basic video and audio outputs as a first step. Once basic audio and video outputs are operating, you may fine-tune the receiver/decoder operation to your needs. If
you have difficulty, reset the unit to factory defaults as noted under Restoring
Factory Defaults on the following pages, and begin again.
ALL Models:
•
Plug in the receiver’s AC power cord. The front panel will go through a turnon sequence for approximately 5 seconds and then become stable. The receiver may flash brief messages as it starts but a delay in displaying the first menu page of more than 10 seconds indicates a fault. See menu #8, page 8, to note error messages and call for support.

•
After the receiver/decoder locks onto the incoming signal and the L
OCK
LED becomes green, the receiver will automatically look for MPEG-2 and DVB tables in the stream, and attempt to output a service from the transport stream. The timing depends on the transport stream but all data will in the receiver in a matter of tens of seconds from a cold start. The receiver will remember this data during signal loss and power interruptions to quickly restore video and audio outputs; to erase it, use the Restore Factory defaults.
•
To output the service you desire, rotate the Menu knob to Menu #2-1,
CURRENT
[
SERVICE
]
. Press the Edit buttons and use the Select knob to scroll through the list of Services carried in that stream. If the program provider has included a text name, it is displayed. If the program provider has not listed the services by name, the receiver identifies them by service number. If this is a non-standard transport steam, you may select by the PID number. (See special application note on MPE G-2 only applications). After scrolling to the name/number of the service, press Save and the video should appear. If not, check the Authorized LED on the front panel to determine if the stream is encrypted. Contact program provider for information on decryption authorization of their services. The basic receiver/decoder does not include decryption.
•
To output the audio you desire, rotate the S
ELECT
knob to Menu #2-4 to display
AUDIO

. Press the Edit buttons and use the S
ELECT
knob to scroll thro ugh the audio languages offered in the stream, then press Save. Repeat for audio 2 output in menu 2-5.
If you h ave difficulties, check the Alarm LED and the alarms status by rotating the
Menu k nob to menu page #4-1. This page is a summ ary of the items that have ac ve alarm condition. No active alarms show a line of dashes and the LED should be extinguished. If the unit is not in alarm, check the installation wiring, then re store factory defaults before attempting another quick install. (The factory reset will ensure any masking of alarm conditions is removed.)
• Alarm conditions show as a line wi th numbers included, and the numbers shown are references to the follow ing display pages where an alarm is active. For example, 2-----5—7-8 indicates that the input (shown on pa ge
4-2), video (shown on page 4-5), audio1 (shown on page 4-7), and au dio
2 (shown on page 4-8) are in alarm condition.
• Alarms may be masked. Masked Alarms will not show on menu page #4-

2. CONFIGURING SDI VIDEO OUTPUT
When using the 400SDI option, the 400 Series chassis has functions to insert information in the VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) or keep it blank. For NTSC, there is the choice to switch the receiver output to CCIR656 (VBI inserted) or to
SMPTE125 (blanked) compliance. For PAL, there is the choice to switch th e receiver output to CCIR656 (blanked) or to full VBI insertion. Some downstre am equipment may experience difficulty using the SDI video output with informa tion in the VBI. The default is V BI insertion in both NTSC and PAL. If you will use the SDI video output, please check Appendix 14 to determine the configuration that matches your needs. If not, there are user selections in menus #5-10 and
#5-1 that are switches to configure the digital video output’s VBI.
3. RESTORING FACTO RY DEFAULTS
If the receiver has been used in another application or you are having difficulty in the initial set-up, it is best to restore the factory default conditions and proceed from this configuration. The receiver may retain prior global receiver selections or r emember last operating conditions, including service information, audio selection and more. This can cause confusion during the new installation or during troubleshooting and should be cleared. Before re-installing the unit, perform the factory reset:
•
Rotate the Menu knob to the System menus (#8) and rotate the Select knob to page #8-5.
•
Press the Enter button. Note that the menu reads
ACTIVATE
.
RESTORE SYSTEM DFL T
,
•
If you wish to exit without restoring the factory defaults, press the Edit button.
•
If you wish to restore the factory defaults, press the Save button. You may see messages such as
INITIALIZING NVRAM
or similar messages that indicate internals action. The receiver will reset itself and restart with the factory default values in 5-10 seconds.
Restoring factory defaults will erase all prior service information, erase all presets, restore levels to factory settings, return port to port one, erase language selections for both services and global defaults.

4. RECEIVING MPEG-2 (ONLY) or DIGICIPHER II STREAMS
Most MPEG-2 based encoders also support enhancements to MPEG-2, either
DVB or Digicipher II. The 400 Series will use MPEG-2 and DVB tables to identify se rvice names and provide other features. When you desired to receive a signal that is MPEG-2 only, you may set the receiver to Manual mode and select the service elements by PID number. PID numbers must be o btained from the program provider or publis hed listings such as Lyingsat.com or Satcodx.com and may change from time to t ime. When you desired to receive a signal that is
Digicipher II, you may set the receiver to Manual mode and select the service elements by PID number as above, but may also use the Auto mode in many list of “ service 1”, “service 2”, … , “service n”. Note also that the Digicipher II signals uses a different FEC and you must select the FEC type in Menu #1-2 as
DC II C mbined, DCII I quadrature, DCII Q quadrature. Hint: 19.51 Msps or lower clear c an be received; Digicipher “Fixed Key” mode is encrypted with a shared key kno wn only to Digicipher II receivers.
5. CHOOSING M ANUAL MODE
Ch i receive r. In Auto mode, when the 400 Series receiver/decoder locks onto a signal and processes the transport stream’s internal tables, it will make a best attempt to output video and audio:
• It will attempt to output the last valid serv ice (unless you selected a different power-on default service in Menu #2-3.)
• Otherwise, if there is only one service, it will be output.
• If there is more than one service, it will output the first in the list of services.
The receiver will change PIDs used for video and audio as required to get these outputs.
When you choose Manual mode, the receiver will not make such attempts and will wait for the selected PIDs to be present, and then output them.

How To Use The Menus
1. MAKE THE DISPLAY EASY TO VIEW
The front panel display can be optimized for your installation. The contrast of an
LCD varies depending on the viewing angle, so a receiver installed low or high in a rack needs to be optimized. Rotate the Menu knob to display Menu page 8,
Systems parameters, and page #8-1,
CONTRAST
.
Press the Edit button and rotate the Select knob for best contrast at your viewing angle. Press the Save button to retain that setting.
2. PRESETS QUICKLY RECALL YOUR FAVORITE CHANNELS
The receiver can maintain a 20 record database of your frequent or favorite services. Once the receiver is setup for a service, whether the service is actually being received at the moment or not, you can save the operation to a preset number. Once saved, you can quickly flip to the preset menu, select the desired preset, and make changes to all service-related parameters in two buttons presses and a scroll through the saved presets list. If you have several common feeds, you may save each as a preset and change them quickly using presets. If you don’t remember the symbol rates of all your services, store them with a few knob turns and button presses, and let the preset records recall them for you.
To use the presets, set up the receiver to the desired downlink signal, service, video, audio and other outputs, then rotate the Menu knob to Menu group #3, and rotate the Select knob to page # 3-2,
STORE
, where you save the preset by pressing Edit, then Save. The receiver shows the first empty slot to use, or allows you to scroll to a slot to over write with a new preset.
To recall the preset, rotate the select knob to page # 3-1,
SELECT
, where you press Edit, rotate the Select knob the desired preset, and press Save.
The receiver will remember and restore the following service data:
• RF Parameters needed to lock to the signal:
Input port (if more than one in the model)
Downlink Frequency and search range or Channel Number
LNB LO and LNB power requirements
Symbol Rate, FEC rate, DVB or Digicipher II type Reed-Solomon
Modulation type or ASI-mode
• Service information to restore the outputs once locked:
Service Name (Video and PCR PID)
Audio1 language and levels, Layer II or Dolby Digital Audio
Audio2 language and levels, Layer II or Dolby Digital Audio
Video Level and Aspect Ratio, PAL/NTSC
VBI functions
Teletext (Language)

How To Use The Menus
Lastly, you can make any preset the “home” service so that power interruption automatically returns the receiver to the home service. This is Menu page 3-4.
The default is to restore the “Last Valid Service” output again as quickly as power returns. We recommend you leave the receiver in this mode unless your programmer has a specific emergency signal loss plan developed that calls for a
Home service.
2.1 DETAILED MENU PAGES ALLOW COMPLETE CONTROL
The detailed menus groups allow you the ability to focus on the particulars of each function. These menus allow the new unit to be configured precisely, inputs and services selected for the first time before saving as presets, and adjustments to current operating conditions such as language changes, level changes and more.
The menu groups are listed here. Please turn to Chapter 6 where each field is described and the range(s) of possible values are given:
• #1 Input Set up for QPSK or ASI or 8VSB
• #2 Service Selection and stream name information
• #3 Pre-sets to retain favorite channels/services
• #4 Alarm Conditions and User selected Masks
• #5 Video modes and outputs
• #6 Subtitle and VBI modes
• #7 Audio Output modes and adjustments for Audio #1 and Audio #2
• #8 System data that reflects receiver global parameters and defaults and the receiver hardware and software version. o
Includes LCD Contrast setting and Restoring Factory defaults
• #9 Conditional Access configuration and status (if option is installed).

NAVIGATING THE FRONT PANEL
1. FRONT PANEL OVERVIEW
The front panel contains the three-line LCD main display, surrounded by two knobs that have two pushbuttons each located beneath them. The front panel also includes four LEDs: one red signal Lock LED, one dual green/red
Authorization LED, one red Alarm LED, and one red Remote Control LED.
•
The Lock LED will be lit when the input circuitry has locked onto the Input signal (QPSK L-band, for example).
•
The Auth LED lights RED to indicate the access control system has recognized the stream and service you have selected is encrypted, but you are not authorized to decrypt it. If the service you selected is unencrypted, the LED will be off.
•
The Global Alarm LED will light based on user-defined limits or conditions.
You may define an alarm condition to merely light the LED and report alarm condition via remote control or to also trigger rear panel relays that could sound a station alarm or activate external switches or other equipment. All parameters can be masked to prevent an unwanted Alarm condition except for temperature and fan failure alarms
•
The Remote LED of all units on the network will flicker when the network is active. A receiver receiving and processing messages addressed to that unit will flash brightly at about one second intervals and remain lit when a message was received correctly and actions were taken in response to a remote command. The LED will go out when you make any input at the front panel. In the event you are editing a menu field, receipt of a remote message cancels the edit without saving your changes, and responds to the remote message. Once the remote message processing is complete, you can resume editing, even reversing the effects of the remote message, if desired.
Additionally, the Remote LED wi ll be lighted when the front panel has been password protected and locked.
2. Front Panel Operations: A Quick Spin
The Front Panel User Interface has two primary modes of operation: Normal (or browse) mode and Edit mode. In addition, during power-up only, the front pane l
LCD may also display fault messages if normal startup cannot be completed.
Menu Knob -
In Normal mode, the Menu knob allows you to select a group of menu, for example, the primary Audio output parameters. When in Edit mode, rotating the Menu knob cancels the Edit mode without saving the changes and selects the next menu group.
Select Knob -
The Select Control selects the pages of the menu group chosen by the MENU control. In the EDIT mode, the SELECT control is used to scro ll through options or increment values in an editable page of a menu group.

Navigating the Front Panel
Edit Button
- The EDIT and SAVE pushbuttons are located under the MENU knob. Upon pressing the Edit pushbutton, a cursor appears below the currently selected menu item. Pressing the Edit button a second time reverts the unit to
NORMAL mode without saving any changes you have made. If there is no activity in this mode for several minutes, the unit reverts to NORMAL mode without saving the changes.
Save Button
- Pressing the lighted SAVE pushbutton (when in the edit mode) will save any changed parameters, and the unit reverts to the NORMAL mode.
The button has no effect in the normal mode.
Left/Right buttons -
The LEFT and RIGHT pushbuttons are located under the
SELECT knob. In the local EDIT state they move the cursor to the left / right to select the parameter to change with the Select knob.
3. The Menu Page Groups – A Summary
By rotating the MENU knob scrolls through the local control and status menus. A quick overview of the menus can be seen:
• #1 INPUT:
You may check the status of and configure the input interface used in the unit.
The layout and operation of this menu will depend on the input interface fitted.
(Determined at power up). If the unit locks to a transport stream that only contains one service then the unit will automatically select this service. If the stream contains more than one service, it will automatically select the first service in the transport stream, or you may select a service using menu group #2. If the front-end input is locked and a valid transport stream is found, then the locked
LED will be green. If the front-end input is unlocked, the LED will be red.
• #2 SERVICE:
This menu allows you to scroll a list of services within the stream (if the stream is
DVB compliant) and select the program desired. The receiver will select a stream based on the last service output or will select the first service in a new stream. If you select M
ANUAL
mode, you can force the receiver to output only the
PIDs you enter directly.
• #3 PRESETS:
The receiver may be set-up for your desired program, and the receiver configuration may be saved into one of 20 preset ‘slots’. It is possible to set up and save the preset in advance of receiving the program to support quick changes from changes from one signal to another. Presets can be written via the remote control port while the unit is operating without interruption. The receiver may be configured with one of the preset slots as the power-on condition; factory default is to power on with using the last valid service.
This menu includes two timers to pre-program relay closure to control external equipment as well as change the service selection to a preset channel. The 400
Series receives system time (day/date) from the transport stream and displays it here, running on its internal clock when no signal is present. Provision for inputting the local time zone is included.

Navigating the Front Panel
• #4 ALARM:
You may select from a range of parameters that can be monitored and have that parameter set the Global Alarm status ON. The Alarm lights the front panel LED, operates rear panel contacts if selected, and will be reported in Alarm status in the remote control messaging. You may assign one of six rear panel contacts for a specific parameter. You might, for example, assign one contact to be closed upon over-temperature to control environmental equipment, while another may be assigned to loss of RF lock so its closure switches to alternate feed material.
• #5 VIDEO:
This menu allows you to check status of and configure the video decoder module. When you are in this menu the words [FAIL] or [OK] will be added to the top line of the display depending on whether or not the video decoder module is running.
• #6 SUBTITLES/VBI:
This menu allows selection of the default language used by the DVB subtitle decoder module. It allows you to monitor and enable the re-insertion of vertical blanking data into the outgoing video.
• #7 AUDIO:
This menu controls the principal audio channel output, “Audio #1”, and the optional second stereo audio pair output, “Audio #2”. Each may, independently, be selected to be left/right or mono analog, or to be uncompressed IEC956
Professional format (similar to AES3) when the digital audio option is installed.
Each may be adjusted for Level. A default language for each may be selected that will be used when Service Selection is in Auto mode.
When the D
OLBY
D
IGITAL
option is installed (and when DOLBY DIGITAL coded audio is included in the transport stream), the both audio #1 and #2 can be downmixed to Stereo or ProLogic outputs; the digital output may selected to be either downmixed stereo/Prologic as IEC958 or an uncompressed data stream for decoding in external D
OLBY
D
IGITAL
decoders.
Note that the same audio channel selected for Audio1 may not be selected in
Audio2.
• #8 SYSTEM:
This menu displays status and allows editing of parameters that affect the overall configuration of the receiver. Parameters such as front panel lockout mode, password, display contrast (angle), remote control address, and firmware versions are accessible.
4. MENU ARCHITECTURE ON THE LCD DISPLAY
Menus are layered as follows:
Menus
Field Name
Parameters
(the field content, i.e., the data associated with the field names, including default values, the inputs selected by you, and the data and status displayed for you to read.)
Menu information appears on the LCD as follows:

F I E L D N A M E H E R E
Additionally, the Menu line (first line) contains the Menu number at the left and the submenu or page number at the right, as in the above example.
The menus consist of a series of submenus, or pages, through which you may scroll. In addition to reporting status, most pages have fields used for making parameter changes.
If an asterisk is present on line 1, the front panel has been locked. (Refer to
Menu 8–9).
5. RULES OF NAVIGATION
•
The EDIT, SAVE, LEFT, and RIGHT pushbuttons must be pressed once for every increment. They do not scroll continuously when the pushbutton is held.
•
Absolute position of the MENU and SELECT knobs has no meaning.
•
When scrolling through a submenu or page list, counterclockwise (CCW) rotation moves the screen to lower numeric values, characters earlier in the alphabet or to the beginning of a list. When scrolling through a list, clockwise
(CW) moves to higher numeric values, characters later in the alphabet, or away from the beginning of a list.
•
Lists are typically dis played in the order determined by the programmer who creates the stream.
•
Numerical parameters of greater than one digit may be selected by two me d
•
First, the cursor may be moved to the leftmost position in that parameter and the value of that position scrolled up or down within the parameter's limits. The cursor is moved v ia the RIGHT pushbutton to another position, and the scroll repeated.
•
Second, the cursor may be located at any position and the knob rotated to increment that position. Within the limits of the parameter, when the position displays “9” and the number is incremented, the display scrolls to a “0” for that position and the next left position will increment by one, e.g., “9” becomes “10”, “19” becomes ”20”, etc.
Decrementing operates similarly. Within the limits of the parameter, when the position displays “0” and the knob decrements the position, the display scrolls to a “9” for that position and the next left position will decrement by one. If the cursor is located at the units position, a “10” becomes “9”, “8”…”1”,”0”, “–1”,”–9”, “–10”, “–11” etc. If the cursor is located at the tens position, a “104” becomes “94”, “84”…”14”, “4” “–14”, etc.

Page 6-4 Owner’s Manual OmniDigital 400 Series
Navigating the Front Panel
Where limits to numerical parameters are specified, the unit limits values when you attempt to exceed the limit. For example, consider a parameter that has a lower limit of 950. With the cursor in the hundreds position and the display at “1130”, decrementing causes the unit to display “1030”, then “950” (not “930”).
•
The cursor does not wrap horizontally within a menu display. In a menu, the cursor, when located in the leftmost position of the leftmost accessible field, remains in that position when the LEFT pushbutton is pressed. The cursor, when located in the rightmost accessible field or position in a menu of width
20 characters or less, remains in the rightmost position when the right arrow pushbutton is pressed. The LEDs in the LEFT and RIGHT pushbuttons are lit when that pushbutton may be used.
•
The entire display blinks “off” for less than 0.5 seconds when you attempt a disallowed action and then returns to that same menu.
•
When unattended for longer than 90 seconds, the receiver will return to a default display, Menu #2-1, showing current service.
5.1 Menu Knob Function
The M
ENU
knob has two principal functions
•
In Normal mode, rotating the M
ENU
knob moves you to the next or preceding menu group, i.e., from #1 Input menu pages to #2 Service menu pages. If you rotate the MENU knob while in a submenu, then reverse the M
ENU
knob and return to the menu group just vacated, the menu sub page last viewed will be displayed again. Observe the page numbers in upper right of the display for easiest navigation.
•
In Edit mode, rotating the M
ENU
knob additionally exits edit mode as if you pressed Edit button, then moves you to the next or preceding menu group without saving the e dits you have made.
5.2 Select Knob Functions
The S
ELECT
knob has two main functions:
•
In Normal mode, the S
ELECT
knob is used only when there is menu “pages,” i.e., submenus below the main menu. An example is Menu #2, S
ERVICES
, entered via the M
ENU
knob. Rotating the S
ELECT
knob CW displays pages 2
(of 6) through 6 of 6. The S
ELECT
knob does not cause a wrap from the last page to the first page or v ice versa. You must rotate the S
ELECT
knob CCW to return to the first page.
•
In Edit mode, the S
ELECT
knob is used to select/scroll through the list of options for that parameter or through the allowable numbers and/or letters at the character where the cursor is located , per the scrolling schemes described in section 1.4 Rules of Navigation.

6. OPERATING MODES
Typical operation of the unit and the state of the unit after power is applied. Both
M
ENU
and S
ELECT
knobs may be rotated to display any menu or submenus without affecting the output of the receiver. The S
AVE
, L
EFT
, and R
IGHT pushbuttons are not active in Normal mode.
The EDIT pushbutton may be pressed in any page, to change the operation from
Normal mode to Edit mode (providing that the page has an editable parameter).
The LCD in the EDIT pushbutton remains lit while in Edit mode. A blinking cursor, as an underline, appears in the third row of the LCD (the Parameter line) under the first editable character.
In Edit mode, the LEFT and RIGHT LEDs are lit if it is possible to make a move in that page. Pressing the LEFT or RIGHT pushbuttons moves the cursor along the LCD line 3, skipping display-only (non-editable) positions. The cursor does not wrap at the left and right ends of the editable positions. When the last editable position on the page is reached in either end of a page or submenu, you must return to Normal mode and rotate the SELECT knob to display another page.
In Edit mode, the SAVE LED lights after the first change is made, and remains lit even if you change a parameter back to its original value.
Return to Normal mode from Edit mode occurs:
•
When the SAVE pushbutton is pressed
. Pressing the SAVE pushbutton in
Edit mode causes any changes made to be stored as current values. Some parameters (items in a list, for example) are selected and made active when
SAVE is pressed. Some parameters are real-time adjustment (video and audio levels, for example). When SAVE is pressed, the prior value of that parameter is erased and the adjusted value is written in its place. Changes are put into the ‘last valid ‘slot’ effect at the time the SAVE pushbutton is pressed; i.e., the power-on configuration (when last valid is set) will be the data just entered.
•
When the EDIT pushbutton is pressed a second time
. Any changes made while in Edit mode are forgotten, no change is made to the current configuration in memory, and no change in receiver operation occurs and no
“glitch” is present in video or audio. The exceptions are the few real time adjustments suchas Video level and ACTIVE CHANNEL. After changing real time adjsutments such as Video Level and the ACTIVE CHANNEL, pressing
EDIT reverts to the previously stored setting or channel.
•
When the MENU knob is rotated
. Effectively this is the same as pressing the
EDIT pushbutton a second time, as above.
•
When no input has been received for 90 seconds
. Effe ctively the same as pressing the EDIT pushbutton a second time, as above.

6.3 Remote Network Control LED Display and Editing Conflicts
The receiver has “remote priority”. When in Normal mode, any message(s) addressed to the unit from the rear panel remote port causes the receiver to store and/or execute the message(s). The REMOTE LED on the front panel flashes slowly during message reception for messages addressed to that receiver only, including both command-and query-type messages.
The LED flashes rapidly if any invalid data or address is detected at the input, including valid messages addressed to another unit. This way, you are able to tell if the network connections are functional or not. If the message type causes a change in configuration or current operating conditions, i.e., is not a query, the
LED remains on until you operate a front panel knob or pushbutton.
If in Edit mode, and a remote message is received, the receiver acts as if the
EDIT pushbutton was pressed, exiting Edit (without saving the changes), the unit will then follow the Normal mode process; the REMOTE LED flashes during the message and the LED remains lit until you access the front panel.

MENU OPERATIONS
Each Menu group and all of the submenus for that group are displayed below, along with any special menus that give warnings or clarification messages. Each field in a menu page is named and described, and the possible selections for parameters in that field which can be selected in line 3 are listed..
Not all menus will be in all units. Menus will vary by model and menus will be present or absent based on whether a particular option is installed. Check menu group #8, page 7 to check if an option is installed, or check rear panel for the presence of the appropriate connectors.
1. INPUT Menus
These menus allow you to configure the input interface used in this OmniDigital and check its status. The layout and operation of these menus will depend on the Model. The OmniDigital unit reads the input hardware present at power on and displays the menu required for that model.
If the input module is locked to the input signal, the LOCK led will be GREEN. If the input is unlocked, the led will be RED.
DEC400 Decoder Input menu pages
Page #1-1 Input
Only one input menu page is provided for the DEC400. All other parameters are automatically determined by the input module based on the ASI stream input to the unit. This page allows you to modify which source the decoder will use to derive its transport stream input and set the ASI stream type to be input. DVB-
ASI operates at 270mbps; transport streams included in ASI up to 150 Mbps may be decoded.

Detailed Operation
When you enter this menu the source will display the currently selected source inpu e you e stream input.
ASI-Mo de
- can be selected as one of the following:
•
NORMAL - This mode handles most streams that are non-contiguous or contiguous, with either 188 or 204 byte packet lengths. When NORMAL is used, the decoder will have fastest acquisition and reacquisition after interruptions. Normal is the default setting.
•
BURSTY – ASI Steams with highly erratic packet or data byte rates may overflow buffers and w ill not lock or will not stay locked. If NORMAL fails to lock, try this mode that bypasses the buffer and will have bursty TSO as well. ATM-to-ASI Network adaptors and similar applications may need this mode. Note that contiguous streams (specifically, streams that do not have at least one K28 byte between each data byte) will not operate in this mode.
•
CI-FORCED204. This mode operates as NORMAL, but may ad just packet length. If the incoming packet length is 188, the ASI NIM pads the packet to 204 to support the BISS options which may r packet size provided by satellite signals. Note that the equire the longer
ASI TSO (output option) is forced to 20 4 byte packets output in this mode as well.
When the Decoder locks to the ASI stream, the front panel LOCK LED turns green.

FEC Rate
- One of the following: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 8/9 (and 5/11 with DCII modes). The receiver will automatically search the FEC choices to find the correct rate and lock to it, then display the result. With low symbol rates or poor signals, you m ay enter the FEC rate for quicker acquisition.
Symbol Rate
- An 6-digit number, ranging from 01.0 Msps to 20.0 Msps (Mega symbo ls per second) The symbol rate is roughly analogous to the RF input filter bandw idth which is adjsuted to allow the entire signal to be input without exces sive noise. When you enter this menu the symbol rate displays the curren symbo l rate. t
Hint
: Incorrect Symbol rate is the most common probl em when you cannot get the signal to lock. Recheck with the program provider that you are using the correct symbol rate. Most symbol rates multiple-service QPSK signa ls are between 20.0 and 30.0 Msps and would be entered as, for example ,
“26.6667” Msps. Single Service signals would be typically 3-8 Msps entered as “03.0000
Msps” with a leading zero.

Detailed Operation
• If the LNB is set to “NONE”, then the LNB LO FREQ value will be set to “-
----”. With this selection, the FREQ field in menu 4-1 will expect value from 950 to 2150 MHz., the direct L-band input frequency. The factory default is "NONE".
•
If the LNB is set to “NORMAL”, then the receiver expects a C or Ku Band
(but not both) type of LNB. You must enter a LO FREQ value between
4300 to 6000 or 9000 to 13000 MHz in increments of 1 MHz. With these selections, the FREQ field in menu 4-1 will allow downlink frequencies values from 2150 to 5050 MHz. and 9950 to 15150 MHz. The receiver will calculate the L-band frequency by FREQ from the LO in the lower rang and subtracting the LO FREQ from FREQ. Spectral inversion, if need e ed, is automatic.
•
If the LNB is set to “DUAL”, then the receiver expects a LNB system with two LO frequencies and two bands. Typical is a combination C or Ku
Band application. You must enter both a LO FREQ value and a LO-
FREQ2 (second L.O.) value and the SW-OVR-FREQ (frequency at w hich the second L.O. becomes active). An example: your system has one coa x to the receiver that is switched from various C or Ku LNB signals. You enter LO FREQ as 5150 and LO-FREQ2 as 10750 and the SW-OV ER-
FREQ as 10000. When you enter FREQ in menu 4-1 as a C band frequency (i.e., below 10000 MHz.) the 5150 MHz. LO will be used.
When you enter a Ku band FR EQ (i.e., above 10000 MHz.), the 10750
MHz. LO will be used. Spectral inversion, if needed, is automatic.
• If the LNB is set to “AUTO”, then the receiver expects a C or Ku Band
(but not both) type of LNB, as in NO RMAL, but enters the LO FREQ fo r yo u per the following table.

Detailed Operation
Switch Over Frequency
- A 5-digit number ranging from 04300 to 13000 MHz in increments of 1 MHz. The first LO will be used if the FREQ in Menu #4-1 is less than or equal to this number; the Second LO will be used if the FREQ is greater than this number. The receiver will not check for illogical combinations, such as the Second LO lower than the first LO. See example in description of page #4-4, above, for correct usage.

LNB Power
– can be one of the following:
•
DISABLED - No DC output on RF input connector. This selection isolates (blocks) the internal power supply from any other power sources on the L-band coax, such as powered splitters or other receivers.
•
ENABLED - Normal DC output on RF input connector. This allows this particular receiver to provide power for the LNB via the input coax center conductor. Note that ONLY the currently selected 1 of four F-connectors is powered.
This will have a factory default of “DISABLED”
When you press SAVE, then the currently selected LNB parameters will be stored and used by the unit in attempting to acquire a signal lock.
Polarity
- this is “Horizontal” or “Vertical”. When you enter this menu the polarization mode will be set to the current polarization mode being used.
You can select from VER or HOR polarization modes to control dual polarity
LNBs. When HOR is selected, LNB Power output will use 18.5 V; when VER is selected, LNB power output will be at 13.5 V DC. For normal, single polarity
LNBs, this setting is irrelevant.
Modulation
- This is “QPSK” for all currently offered SDR400 models.
Page #1-6: Search Range
This establishes the upper and lower search limits that will be imposed on the signal acquisition process. The frequency you input may not exactly match the downlink frequency and the receiver searches over a selected range to find the exact frequency lock.

Detailed Operation
This search range directly affects acquisition time. Large Symbol rate signals
(greater than 12 Msps) work best with a wider search range and the SDR400 defaults at 5000 kHz. If you are attempting to acquire signals of 6 Msps or less, a suggested search range would be 1000-2000 kHz if acquisition times are more than a few seconds. With signals in the 1-2 Msps range, the SDR400 may not lock unless the search is reduced to 1000 kHz or below, depending on other signal quality parameters.

The 3-digit number under LEVEL is the AGC value from the tuner/demod circuitry. The display immediately to the right of the word LEVEL is a scale representation of this signal level value, displaying a range of acceptable signal levels. The range represented is APPROXIMATELY from –20 to +10 dBmV.
This meter is illustrative only, not a precise calibrated device.
A note of caution: the DTR signal level is the sum of both 8VSB signal, if any, and noise levels. The values presented are the total power in the signal bandwidth. If the antenna is pointed at an analog signal source on the selected channel or there are reflections on the selected channel, the level display may be
OK or higher without any 8VSB signal or without a useable 8VSB signal.
2. SERVICE Selection Menus
Once the receiver/decoder is locked onto its incoming signal, these menu pages allow you to select from any of the currently available SDTV services in that signal and to provide a status of which elements associated with this service are being decoded. In the case of multiple audio elements present, these menus also allow you to select which element is being decoded.
Page #2-1: Current Service
This is the main service selection menu. It is active when the OmniDigital unit is set to Auto (default) mode. See information on Auto mode in Page #2-2, below.
When you enter this menu page, the currently selected service is shown, with a service number (from the MPEG-2 SI tables in the transport stream) and the service name text if the provider has put this text in the SI tables. Also shown is the total number of services in the transport stream. In the Auto mode,
• This menu will list services available on currently input transport stream when you press Enter and rotate the Select knob. Press Ave to select or Edit again to exit without making a change.
• If there is only one service available on the current transport stream, then the unit automatically selects this service and display the video associated with that service, if any.
• When you select a service in Auto mode, the Audio channel 1 will be set to decode the language which best matches your preferences as defined in the audio menu #8-1. If no match can be found, then the audio language will be set to the first audio stream (PID) to be found in the service descriptor tables.
• Audio channel 2 (if the option is installed and also supported in the transmitted signal) will be set to decode the language that best matches your preferences as defined in the audio menu #9-1. If no match can be found, then the audio language will be set to the second audio stream (PID) to be found in the service descriptor table.

Detailed Operation
You can choose Auto Service Select or Manual PID Select mode. (PID is Packet
ID
entifier, a number uniquely identifying a digital data stream that may contain video, an audio element, a data element, or other data.) In manual PID select mode, all efforts by the receiver to use the SI (System Information) tables in an
ATSC, DVB and/or MPEG-2 compliant transport stream will be blocked and you select the video, audio and other outputs directly by manual PID entry. This mode will force the receiver to monitor and output ONLY those PIDs when present. You may manually select PIDs without any transport stream in the receiver, i.e., ahead of time, and the receiver will output nothing until the stream is finally available and stop any or all outputs when that PID is no longer present.
The efforts of the Auto mode to follow service name and number changes in changing transport streams is defeated.
The more typical operation is Auto mode where the table are used to present names of services and to allow the receiver to attempt to follow changes in the transport stream that occur over time as the programs and the transport stream changes its content.
In Auto mode, the receiver will look for the internal System Information table and try to output a service. First, the receiver will recall the name of the last valid service number, even if the receiver has been powered down for an unknown amount of time and look for that service name in the current SI Tables. If there is a match, the receiver will make that the service selected. Otherwise, the receiver will output the lowest service number in the table (or the only one in a single program transport stream) when it first locks to a stream. You may select any of the available services and it will remember your selected Service Number. If the stream changes, it will attempt to follow the service number and use the new
PIDs for that service number. If the service number is no longer valid, the receiver will revert to the lowest service number in the new stream. The receiver, in Auto mode, will endeavor to output a video and at least primary audio service.

PID is displayed for information and is not editable.) If no Video PID is available in the selected service in Auto Mode, the value will be “NONE”. PID values entered in Manual mode may range from 0001 to 8191.
The Program Clock Reference (PCR) is used to ensure proper timing of the video and audio. The many systems use the Video PID for PCR. If Audio and
Video are not synchronized, or video is erratically displayed, consult your program provider to ensure the correct PCR PID is being used.

When you enter this menu (in Auto mode), the selection will display the language, which is currently being decoded by audio channel 1. The PID number is displayed at the right for troubleshooting purposes. The PID is editable only in Manual mode.
• If no audio streams in the selected service are available at this time, then the audio language will be set to “NONE AVAILABLE”.
• If the selected audio stream is dual language, then both languages are shown (Left/right outputs, respectively). Language names are truncated to
7 characters if Dual.
• If the audio streams have no language names associated to them, a number (starting with AUDIO1, assigned by the receiver in order listed in the SI Tables) will be displayed instead of a language name.
• If the stream is identified as D

Detailed Operation
The receiver also automatically selects the DOLBY DIGITAL decoder if the SI tables indicate it is needed and this option is installed. (DOLBY DIGITAL is installed in all DTR400 units.) If not installed, the receiver output is muted.
When the Transport Stream changes or a new Transport Stream is acquired:
• The receiver will attempt to follow your language selection in this menu if it is in the new stream in the same service.
• If the language is no longer available, the receiver will attempt to output the Global Language Default you have entered in Menu #7-1.
• If the Global Language Default is not available, the unit will revert to the first Audio PID number in the SI table for the service selected.
In Manual Mode, you select by PID
–If you are setting up the receiver without a valid signal, information about the audio streams in the service will not be available and you must enter by PID to force the receiver to not follow the default tree listed in Auto mode, above, when the signal becomes available. The receiver will not vary from the selected PID and will not attempt to follow
Transport Stream changes when in Manual mode.

Detailed Operation
These menu pages allow you to select and store up to 20 individual services for quick recall at a later time. Selecting a Preset service automatically configures the receiver to decode the selected service, as you stored it. Configuration includes the RF input, RF frequency, and much more: everything needed to return the unit your stored operating configuration is written in the menu pages as if you edited Input, Service, Video, Subtitles, and Audio menus.
Preset menu page 3 also allows you to set the power-up default preset, which could also include the last valid service to have been decoded before powerdown.
Two timers are provided that can automatically recall a Preset and make it active on a day and time you enter.
Manual mode PID entries can be stored as a preset without actually decoding a stream.

The last valid service is stored automatically every time you change the receiver operation or if remote commands dictate a change in OmniDigital operations. When this menu page displays “Last valid service”, the unit will power-up, then automatically restore the “last valid service” that was decoded prior to power-down. The factory default setting is “Last Valid Service”.
Unless your program provider has arranged specific emergency recovery plans,
we recommend this remain set to Last Valid Service
. Before selecting a default preset, consider the conditions of both long-term (intentional) and momentary (unplanned) power outages.

Time
- This is a 24-hour clock, with settings from 0000 to 2359. The factory default is 00.00.
Date
- This is made up of a 4-digit number. The first two digits represent the month and the second two digits represent the day. If you chose a date of
“00/00”, the action will repeat daily at the time selected.
Preset
- This is made up of a 2-digit number ranging from 01 to 20 that corresponds to that specific preset number. When the timer is triggered the unit will tune to the service and signal defined in that preset.
To “turn off” the timers, select Preset value as “00” and the OmniDigital takes no action at the time displayed.
The OmniDigital units have a summary page showing which, if any, alarms are active, and individual functional alarm pages where you may mask off active alarms, if desired. When any non-masked alarms are active, the front panel LED will light red and the rear panel relay will be activated. (The rear panel relay is energized when no alarm condition is present, and de-energizes on alarm or if power is lost.) The relay will remain activated until the alarm is resolved or the alarm is masked.

Detailed Operation
The alarm masks will need to be used when a feature is not being used. For example, when using a service with no Audio2 included, you should mask that functional alarm so other alarms will be noticed.
The layout and operation of this menu group will depend on the input interface fitted. At power up, the OmniDigital unit determines the menu pages needed based on installed options.
Page #4-1: Summary Alarm Status
This menu item is common to all input interfaces. It provides a GLOBAL view, summarizing of the status of the alarm status of each functional module.

Note that there may be more than one page number shown. Masked alarms will not trigger an alarm and will not appear here. When an alarm is present, this menu page will direct you to the following pages that should be checked for
“FAIL” conditions.
Subsequent Alarm Pages
Each subsequent alarm page will have the following format given below. The number of pages will depend on the type of input module installed in the unit.

Item
(Display only field, not editable) - the ITEM can be any function that is able to generate an alarm (e.g. Video, Audio, etc). The status of this item is given as either FAIL or OK. This parameter is will be dynamic and always reports the current status of the function. It may change rapidly in the face of marginal operating conditions.
Mask
- the mask parameter allows you to mask off the alarm item from contributing to an alarm. It can be “YES” or “NO”. Each individual alarm item will have a factory default of “YES”. Over Temperature and Fan Status alarms cannot be masked from the Alarm Status on page #4-1 and from activating the front panel alarm LED and the rear panel relay.
The following is an example of a specific alarm function page, in this case, the input alarm. See the Alarm tables, below for details by function for each type of input.

The Temperature alarm page reports the actual internal temperature of the unit in both Centigrade and Fahrenheit. The alarm trigger limit is fixed at approximately
60 degrees Centigrade. Operating the unit near this limit will reduce impair reliable operation and reduce overall life. The OmniDigital units with operating fan in the environment specified will not reach this limit, so an excessive temperature alarm desires immediate attention. The Temperature Alarm in NOT maskable and will trigger the alarm and be reported as an alarm condition in the remote control status. The remote control can also read the actual temperature, whether in alarm or not.

If the status of the video decoder is FAIL, then the display will be set to “----“.
Page #5-3: Fail mode Selection
This allows you to control how the video decoder will react if the video decoding process is stopped due to signal loss. The receiver will use internal error concealment techniques for marginal signals and impulse noise interruptions that may generate ‘tiling’ but a seriously degraded signal or total loss will exceed the error concealment and the decoding will stop, even if momentarily. The Fail mode can be “FREEZE” (frame freezes) or “BLANK” (goes to black). Freeze is recommended as least objectionable in margin signal conditions.

When the aspect ratio of the transmitted video is 16/9, the receiver can output this as either 16/9 which will present on a 4/3 monitor with side areas cutoff or reduce it to aspect ratio video to fit normal NTSC video displays by making objects narrower than normal. Both use the full frame height. The factory default is 4/3.

Level Marker
- an asterisk ("

") is used to provide a visual indicator of video output level on the “bar” scale. The Level number and asterisk’s position move together when you press EDIT then rotate the SELECT knob. The marker will track changes with a resolution of approx. 5 percent per segment. Moving to the right of the center marker will increase the amplitude of the video signal. Setting the marker to center marker ( 0 Level) will provide a video level that equates to unity system gain. This is a real time adjustment: as you change the level marker, the output is changing. Press Save to store the currently selected level or the level will revert to the previous setting when you exit the menu page.

This menu allows you to enable or disable the Presentation Time Stamp and

OmniDigital unit normally carries information that provides for synchronization of video with audio relative to a PCR (Program Clock Reference). Some early multiplexers did not readjust the PTS (Presentation Time Stamp) when restamping the PCR, resulting in lip-sync problems. In this unusual cases, disabling PTS STC Sync, which defeats the OmniDigital’s tracking algorithms, may result is better lip-sync.

Detailed Operation
When you enter this menu page, the selection will display the current audio routing method. After pressing Edit, you can scan through the list of routing methods and press Save to make that selection active.
Clipping Level
– This is the principal analog audio output level adjustment.
The Clipping Level refers to the maximum analog signal output level and can be a value from 12 dBm to 24 dBm in 1 dB increments. The following menu page allows for approximately +3 dB fine tuning. The factory default Clip Level is 24 dBm. When you enter this menu page, the current audio clipping level is displayed.
Notes on Clipping Level and Loudness:
Clip Level:
An analog audio signal may (theoretically) be unbounded in lou dness and dynamic range but a digital audio sample is represented by a finite number of bits and cannot exceed a maximum level. When the programmer’s equ ipment encodes analog audio into digital, the maximum analog level in the program should be matched to the clipping level to prevent distortion and maximize audio signal level. When the receiver is set to the same clip level, the end-to-end au dio gain is 1:1: For reference, historical equipment design practices set the maxi mum analog level as 18 dBm, or for some broadcast situations, 24 dBm. A clip level of
24 dBm is the maximum output specification. To ensure no distortion of analog output when the clipping level audio is transmitted, the OmniDigital has the ability to handle an extra 1-2 dB of headroom, or 25-6 dBm, output.
The first reason you may select a lower clipping level is that downstream equipment handling the OmniDigital unit’s audio output may demand audio that does not exceed a lesser value. In this case, all audio is shifted in level, attenuated, without compression, by the amount you select. For example, if select Clip Level at 15 dBm, an audio passage that was output at-4 dBm whe
you n clipping w as set to 24 dBm, will be output at a 9 dB lower level, or -13 dBm.
Loudness:
You may exper ience apparent ‘average’ loudness changes from service to service. This is a result of the program provider decisions on average loudness and how far below clipping level they chose to set the average loudness. Premium movie channels may be delivered with average loudness at
–3 dBm to provide thea dB) , wh ere a ne ws br o terad c like dyna ast m a y mi ha v c range for loud passages (for example, 21 e co pr se d a ic ra ge o f 3 o r 6 dB, and ave rag e lo ud be t 1 2 to 5 Bm rel tiv to 8 li eve l.

Level
– Audio output level in this menu can be adjusted within a -3.0 to +3.0 range in 0.1 dB increments. This setting is real time: After pressing the Edit button, rotating the Select knob allows you to adjust the level out of the receiver as you turn the Select knob.

Level Marker
– A graphical representation of the adjustment being made to the system gain is shown. An Asterisk indicates the audio level setting on the scale and moves every 0.5 dB of change. Moving to the ri ght of the center marker will increase the amplitude of the audio signal with reference to the audio level when entering the programmer’s encoder. Moving to the left of the center marker w ill decrease the amplitude. Setting the marker to ce nter marker will provide a system end-to-end gain of unity, (assuming the same Clip Level is used in the encoder and receiver.).

Level
– Audio output level in this menu can be adjusted within a -3.0 to +3.0 range in 0.1 dB increments. This setting is real time: After pressing the Edit button, rotating the Select knob allows you to adjust the level out of the receive r as you turn the Select knob. Press Save to record your selection, or press Edi t to revert to the last saved setting. The factory default for this setting will be 0 with reference to the system gain set above.
Level Marker
– A graphical representation of the adjustment being made to the system gain is shown. An Asterisk indicates the audio level setting on the scale and moves every 0.5 dB of change. Moving to the right of the center marker will increase the amplitude of the audio signal with reference to the audio level when entering the programmer’s encoder. Moving to the left of the center marker will decrease the amplitude. Setting the marker to center marker will provide a system end-to-end gain of unity, (assuming the same Clip Level is used in the encoder and receiver.).

retains the Layer I and Layer II (DVB) audio capability and will automatically select the correct type of audio decoding if the audio type information is included in the DVB SI tables by the program encoder.
2. 400AUD2 - SECOND STEREO PAIR ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT
This option provides hardware to enable the OmniDigital to process and output a second analog audio program (a second audio PID) that will be synchronized with the video output. That program may be D
OLBY
D
IGITAL
downmixed mono, stereo or Prologic if the Dolby Digital option has been installed for Audio1. All units (with or without D
OLBY
D
IGITAL
option) will decode MPEG-2 Layer II audio.
This option may be installed at time of order (free of labor charge) or installed in the field by qualified bench technician capable of opening and making connections (no soldering) internally.
3. 400DIGAUD - DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
This option allows the OmniDigital units to output up to four channels (2 stereo pairs) in IEC958 consumer formatting, a digital audio format similar to AES-EBU,
AES3, and IEC956 Professional. This audio is output separately from video.
While most professional equipment accepts all digital audio formats, some professional equipment may not and you should check with your downstream equipment supplier (especially Sony) to confirm compatibility with digital audio tables with IEC consumer bit set to “1”.
422Dolby option may be required --separately--for your application.
This option may be installed at time of order (free of labor charge) or installed in the field by qualified bench technician capable of opening and making connections (no soldering) internally.

Options
4. 400SDI -DIGITAL VIDEO OUTPUT
This option allows the OmniDigital units to output SDI (Serial Digital Interface) digital video output with embedded digital audio in the video (one or two stereo pairs). The 422DOLBY option is required if the audio Dolby 5.1 format. It includes one BNC rear panel connector for 75-ohm coax as one consolidated signal. The 400SDI can embedded only 48 kbps sampled audio; audio sampled at 44 or 32 kbps will not be embedded. The digital audio outputs are not available separate from the video; use 400DIGAUD option for separate digital audio outputs. See comments under 400DIGAUD regarding digital audio format.
This option may be installed at time of order (free of labor charge) or installed in the field by qualified bench technician capable of opening and making connections (no soldering) internally.
5. 400ASIOUT - ASI TRANSPORT STREAM OUTPUT
This option provides for the transport stream that is input to the SDR400,
DTR400 and DEC400 to be passed out for the OmniDigital using DVB-ASI formatting and includes a rear-panel on 75 Ohm coax BNC connector. In he
DEC400 model, it is effectively a loop-through of the input signal. In the SDR400 and DTR400 units, it is the RF signal demodulated to the baseband digital transport stream and formatted for ASI out on 75-ohm coax. Using this option, other equipment that accepts DVB-ASI formatted transport streams may further process the stream that was input to the OmniDigital unit.
This option may be installed at time of order (free of labor charge) or installed in the field by qualified bench technician capable of opening and making connections (no soldering) internally.

Remote Control Connections
1. INTRODUCTION
The OmniDigital receivers and decoders allow control and configuration from the front panel and remote network commands delivered via the rear panel control port and in over-the-air messages in the transport stream. This chapter refers to the rear panel remote control connections and gives a basic overview of the commands.
The remote control uses an EIA232 or EIA485 electrical interface in a DB-9 connector.
The internal jumpers should be configured for the desired interface before installation. The factory default is EIA232. To change to EIA485, please place the unit on a static dissipative technical workbench and remove the top cover. Remove three screws on rear top cover, two main screws on side at rear, the rearmost of the three “ear” mounting screws on each side and loosen the remaining ear mounting screws. Left slight at rear and pull back and off. The jumpers are to be set as in this table for either EIA2323 or EIA485. After setting the jumpers, top assembly is the reverse of disassembly. Make sure the top cover lip is under the front panel extrusion before installing rear panel screws, then side screws.

Remote Control Connections
The 400 Series command protocol will provide the ability to change all parameters that you may read or change while standing at the front panel. The one exception is that the remote network control may not change the remote control address of a unit. The host will initiate communication using that address. Units without the matching address will ignore the command while any unit(s) with that address will respond. You must select a unique fourdigit address on the front panel for each unit on the network to prevent network collisions.
The front panel Remote LED will flicker while there is traffic on the network and will remain lit when a message was received correctly and actions were taken in response to a remote command. The LED signaling unit addressed messages were acted upon will go out when you make any input at the front panel. In the event you are editing a menu field, receipt of a remote message will cancel the edit without saving the your changes, and respond to the remote message. Once the remote message processing is complete, you can resume editing, even reversing the effects of the remote message if desired.
The following information introduces the protocol. If you intend to write remote control network programming for your PC, please contact Standard Communications at 800 745-
2445 or 310 532-5300, x264, or by email at [email protected]
, or at the address on the rear cover. Ask for SatCom Technical Service and a copy of the OmniDigital 400
Series Programmer’s Guide.
The protocol used in Standard products remains the property of Standard Communications
Corp. All rights reserved
2. REMOTE CONTROL PROTOCOL
The OmniDigital 400 Series units have the following communication protocol. The receiver has the ability to read and respond to a single or batch of commands. You are able to selectively request a single or batch of parameters in a single computer/receiver transaction. Some command mnemonics may be batch com mands by defi m ra to “read” and “ write” commands.

The defective product must then be returned to SCC freight prepaid, identified with that RMA. SCC will examine the product and respond to the Purchaser in approximately four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of the product claimed to be defective.
This limited warranty does not extend to any product which has been subjected to misuse, neglect, accident, improper installation, or subject to use in violation of the maintenance or operating instructions, if any, furnished by SCC; nor does this warranty extend to products on which the serial number has been removed, defaced, or changed.
SCC reserves the right to make changes or improvements to its products during subsequent production, without incurring the obligation to install such changes or improvements on previously manufactured or sold products.
This warranty gives you specified legal rights that vary from state to state.
Because some states do not allow limitations on the duration of the warranty, limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

II. SEVEN-YEAR SUPPORT PROGRAM
During the next six years following expiration of the original warranty, the product will be repaired or replaced with equivalent product for a service and handling fee to be determined from time to time. Whenever possible, SCC will attempt to upgrade performance of the features purchased to the latest improved specifications as part of that repair, but reserves the right to charge for new or additional features should they be requested. Qualifying merchandise must be assigned an RMA number by Standard's Customer Service administrator. The equipment then can be shipped to SCC, freight prepaid. SCC will return the equipment, freight prepaid, via FedEx
Standard Air, unless otherwise specified, at the customer's expense. Repair charges will be applied at the out-of-warranty rate in the event of physical or electrical abuse to in-warranty equipment.
III. LIFETIME LOANER PROGRAM
This program has been established to minimize downtime resulting from SCC equipment failure in critical service situations. The program is available in the
U.S. and Canada only at this time due to issues with Customs handling, fees, and delays. The program is provided FREE (excluding freight) for the life of this
Commercial Integrated Receiver Decoder
. In the event that any SCC-manufactured equipment covered under the loaner program fails during normal operation, SCC will provide a compatible SCC loaner unit to the customer to sustain present operations for the duration of time it takes SCC to repair and return the customer's unit. To qualify for this program, the customer must have a current open-terms account in good standing with SCC, and provide a purchase order for the estimated freight costs. A special 24-hour shipping program has been arranged with FedEx.* All shipping arrangements are taken care of by the SCC
Customer Service Administrator. The customer will receive a package consisting of: (a) a special shipping case; (b) SCC-specified loaner equipment; and (c) shipping and agreement documents.
A purchase order number must be provided for the estimated shipping costs before the loaner equipment is delivered (customer pays shipping). The customer must return the defective equipment to SCC, freight prepaid, in the supplied shipping case, within 48 hours of receiving the loaner equipment. SCC will return the repaired equipment freight prepaid. The customer must then return the loaner equipment to SCC, freight prepaid, in the supplied shipping case within 72 hours of receiving the repaired equipment. If the loaner equipment is not shipped within 72 hours, a daily rental fee, not to exceed five percent of the net cost of the equipment, will be charged to the customer's account until SCC's loaner equipment is returned. Please call our Customer Service Administrator for additional information on qualifying equipment and procedures.
(* SCC will do its best to ship a complete unit within 24 hours. In the event of power failure, natural disaster, or any other circumstance beyond SCC's or shipper's control, the Lifetime Loaner Program could be discontinued. The Gold
Standard Support Program is subject to change or modification without notice.)

Serial Digital Video Out Formats
The major standards for SDI (Serial Digital) video formatting have minor differences that most equipment tolerates well. However, to insure maximum interop erability, the OmniDigital 400 Series receivers/decoder has user control of the
VBI formatting should it be necessary. Menu pages 5-10 and 5-11 control the digital video output formats, to be used if your downstream equipment is sensitive to these differences.
