Five options in the TSClock can be selected: 9MHz--support up to 72Mbit input TS. 9.5MHz--support up to 76Mbit input TS. 10.5MHz--support up to 84Mbit input TS. 11.5MHz--support up to 92Mbit input TS. 13MHz--support up to 104Mbit input TS. Please select default 9MHz for the TSClock if input TS is less than 72Mbit in total bitrate. CBR--the output descrambling TS bitrate is set at a bitrate which set in the ConstantRate. Mode VBR--the output descrambling TS bitrate is changeable depending on the input TS. To set a fixed output bitrate for the CI module. It will take effect when user selects the CBR mode. ConstantRate (Mbit) Please set a bigger bitrate value than the input TS rate and reserve a bit buffer. Note: for the descrambling operation on a program, please refer to Descramble Operation, page-51 of this manual for the details. After setting all the parameters, you should press Set button to save the settings.
