1.2 Summary of Features

1.2.1 Video Encoding
MPEG-2 Encoding
The Encoder processes a broadcast-standard video signal into a compressed encoded
bitstream in accordance with:
• The MPEG-2Main profile @ Main level (MP@ML) specification
(ISO/IEC 13818)
• The MPEG-2 4:2:22profile @ Main Level (422P@ML) specification (ISO/IEC 13818)
• The MPEG-2 levels Main profile @ High Level (MP@HL) and 422P@HL2

Multi-pass Encoding
Encoders having software option M2/ESO2/HD-MPASS enabled are capable of multi-pass
encoding.
An improvement in performance is achieved by using additional video compression hardware
at the front-end of the video encoder. A pre-processor analyses the incoming video signal
'ahead of time'. This enables important statistical parameters to be derived about the video
signal before the 'final' encoding takes place. This additional analysis is used to generate
more accurate bitrate predictions and so further increase the efficiency gains achieved by
Reflex.
The video signal in a Multi-pass Encoder is analysed and compressed at several
pre-processing stages before the actual encoding takes place.

Video Encoding Modes

Either the 4:2:0 or 4:2:22 video encoding modes can be selected. The coding mode selected
affects the compression techniques, encoder delay and rate control.

Video Inputs
The standard video inputs are:
• SDI - Serial Digital Interface - ITU-R BT.656-4, part 3 (D1 serial format) – SMPTE 259
(component only)
• Composite Analogue (PAL/NTSC)
• HD SDI – High definition serial digital interface (SMPTE 292M)

1
Reflex is only available when software option M2/ESO2/HDVBR is purchased.
2
4:2:2 is only available in HD in the E5782 Encoder and in SD when software option M2/ESO2/422 is purchased.

Page 1-4 Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder
ST.RE.E10135.4
 Introduction to the Basic Encoder

Video Input Types

The video input types which are supported are:
• 625-line composite PAL-B, -D, -G, -H or -I (ITU-R BT. 624-4)
• 525-line composite NTSC-M (with and without pedestal) or PAL-M (ITU-R BT. 624-4)
• Serial digital (ITU-R BT.656-4, part 3) input (D1 serial format) and (ANSI/SMPTE 259M)
(component only)
• Internal test pattern function
• 480p59/60, 576p50, 720p50, 720p59/60 (SMPTE 296M), 1080i25, 1080i29/30 (SMPTE
274M), 1080pSF/24, 1080pSF/25 and 1080pSF/23.976

Serial Digital Video Input Error Detection and Handling (EDH) (SD Only)
The serial digital video input supports error detection and handling (EDH) as defined by the
specification SMPTE RP 165-1994, ‘Error Detection Checkwords and Status Flags for Use in
Bit Serial Digital Interfaces for Television’.

Video Encoding Functions

The standard video encoding functions include:
• Support for all MP@ML and 422P@ML2 standard coding modes
• Support for some MP@HL and 422P@HL standard coding modes
• Selectable bitrate operation, <1.5 Mbit/s - 90 Mbit/s (see Table 1.3)
• Support for various video picture resolutions (HD and SD)
• An internal frame synchroniser (see Internal Frame Synchroniser on page 1-6)
• Support for Active Format Descriptor (AFD)
• Support for a variety of Group of Pictures (GOP) structures with a variable number of B
frames
• Built-in patented adaptive noise reduction circuitry3
• A logo overlay facility whereby the Encoder is able to overlay broadcasters
trademarks/logos onto the active video
• The ability to generate internal video test patterns. These can be moving, with the ability
to load two frames (SD only)
• With software option M2/ESO2/HD-MPASS enabled, a multi-pass encoding mode is
available which results in more efficient use of bandwidth
• Support for ZigZag scan which statistically produces the same or more efficient coding on
most slow moving material

Motion Estimation
For SD fully Exhaustive motion estimation is used. It takes a macro block of 16 pixels x 16
pixels and then performs an exhaustive search without subsampling.
For HD a hierarchical motion estimation scheme is used. It creates a hierarchical set of
pictures, each layer containing a vertically and horizontally sub-sampled version of the picture
in the layer above. The motion estimation search begins in the lowest layer that contains the
coarsest image. An exhaustive search of this layer produces an initial location for the best
match.

3
Noise reduction is only available when software option M2/ESO2/NR or M2/ESO2/HDNR is purchased.

Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder Page 1-5
ST.RE.E10135.4
Introduction to the Basic Encoder

This location is then used as the start point for an exhaustive search in the next layer up in the
hierarchy. This higher layer image is more detailed, so the new search acts to refine the
previous search to produce a more accurate location for the best match.
This process of locating the best match, then exhaustively re-searching about this location in a
higher layer is repeated until all the available layers have been searched. The final search is
in the original full resolution image and is at ½ picture element (pel) accuracy.

Variable Video bitrate

The MPEG-2 compression algorithm uses adaptive field/frame coding, forward and backward
predictive processing with motion estimation and compensation to reduce the bitrate to the
range shown in Table 1.3.

Table 1.3: Video bitrate Range 4

Video Encoding Mode

4:2:0 (SD) 4:2:0 (HD) 4:2:2 (SD) 4:2:2 (HD)

0.256 Mbit/s - 6 Mbit/s - 90 Mbit/s 2 Mbit/s - 50 Mbit/s 6 Mbit/s - 90 Mbit/s
15 Mbit/s For 480 and 576 the For 480 and 576
minimum is 2 Mbit/s the minimum is
2 Mbit/s

NOTE…
Lower bitrates can be achieved, in HD mode, when used in Statistical Multiplexing equipment.

Coding Resolutions
To provide optimum picture quality over the full range of supported bitrates, the encoded
picture resolution is controlled automatically according to the video bitrate. Alternatively, the
user can override this and select manual control, if desired. Coding resolutions are shown in
Annex B, Technical Specification.

Internal Frame Synchroniser

An internal frame synchroniser is provided to accommodate slight differences between the
incoming frame rate and that generated by the stable reference5 used by the Encoder.

Output on Video Loss

The Encoder can be software-configured to show, in the event of video input loss, either:
• A test pattern (with or without ident text) (SD only)
• A freeze frame (with or without ident text) (SD only)
• Display Stored OSD (Only available if the Encoder has an OSD loaded).
• Cut to a black screen (HD default)

4
The video bitrate depends on the Multiplexer bitrate which is set.
5
To ensure broadcast quality it is recommended that the studio reference is fed to HYSNC.

1.2.2 Audio Encoding

General
Audio can be encoded to:
• MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) standard (sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz).
• Dolby Digital (sampling rate 32 kHz or 48 kHz).
Output bitrate is selectable in the range 32 kbit/s - 384 kbit/s (dependent on
configuration) for MPEG-1 Audio (layer 2) and 56 kbit/s - 640 kbit/s (dependent on
configuration) for Dolby Digital coding mode selectable between 1/0 and 2/0.
• Dolby Digital pre-encoded audio (IEC 61937 specification) in pass-through mode is also
available (it only operates at 48 kHz). This is where an audio stream has already been
encoded externally, prior to entering the Encoder.
• Linear PCM (Direct) [SMPTE 302M].
• Linear PCM (Via SRC) [sample rate converter]
• Dolby E Pass-through.
• DTS Pass-through.

NOTES…
1. See Annex F, Audio Modes for details of setting up the audio.
2. MPEG-1 audio sampling rate is fixed at 48 kHz when controlled from the front panel.

Audio Inputs
The standard audio input is:
• AUDIO IN – 15-way male D-type - software selectable balanced analogue or digital
AES/EBU, with AES/EBU on left only. A break-out cable is supplied which plugs into this
connector and provides a more convenient means of connecting the audio inputs via five
connectors. There are four XLR female connectors, with the fifth cable being a BNC
which provides an AES/EBU 75 Ω digital reference output.
• Alternatively, audio can be input embedded as AES/EBU on the serial digital interface
(SDI – HD or SD). In this mode a maximum of four stereo pairs can be extracted from any
two Data Identifiers (DIDs). Audio may be converted to either of the standard output
sampling frequencies, 32 kHz or 48 kHz, by use of the built-in asynchronous sample rate
converters. This applies only to audio which is not pre-encoded.

Audio Channels
The Encoder Base Board is capable of processing two stereo pairs, from any of the following6:
• SDI Embedded source (HD or SD)
• Digital source AES/EBU
• Analogue source, termination impedance 600 Ω or 20 kΩ
These signals may be processed using the encoding modes in the following section.

6
See Annex F, Audio Modes for details of setting up the audio.

Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder Page 1-7
ST.RE.E10135.4
Introduction to the Basic Encoder

MPEG Encoding Modes

The two stereo pairs may be configured in various encoding modes:
• Single mono: either the left or the right channel is encoded.
• Dual mono: the left and right signals are encoded and carried in the transport stream as
a single Packetised Elementary Stream (PES) data stream. The way that the left and
right signals are output from the Receiver is dependent on how the routing is set-up on
the Receiver. Both the left and the right may be output, or the left only, or the right only.
This is typically used for multilingual services. Available in MPEG-1 (layer 2) and Linear
PCM.
• Stereo: A stereo pair is coded as two mono signals - the two signals are output as stereo
at the receiving end.
• Joint stereo: A stereo pair is coded taking advantage of the stereo nature of the
channels - the two signals are output as stereo at the receiving end. Available in MPEG-1
(layer 2) only.
• Audio Description Service

Dolby Digital Encoding Modes

• 1/0: centre
• 2/0: left and right

Test Tones
The equipment can be configured to generate a test tone for alignment purposes. Refer to
Annex B, Technical Specification for level and frequency.

Audio Variable bitrate

MPEG-1 audio output bitrate (see Annex B, Technical Specification) is selectable in the range
32 kbit/s -384 kbit/s (dependent on configuration).

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital audio encoding incorporates digital normalisation, pre-processing (filtering),
dynamic range compression and the addition of bitstream information. Dolby Pro Logic audio
can be carried as stereo audio through the Encoder as long as a suitably high bitrate is
selected (see Annex B, Technical Specification).

1.2.3 Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) Line Processing Modes (SD)

Introduction
The Encoder has three modes for processing VBI lines.

NOTE…
A maximum of eight VBI lines per field may be extracted. This limit does not apply to Teletext.

VBI in Picture
By selecting the VBI in Picture extended active picture format available in the MPEG 4:2:2
specification the Encoder compresses and transmits the VBI data as part of the active picture.
This requires up to 3 Mbit/s of extra bitrate, depending on the amount and complexity of the
VBI present.

Page 1-8 Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder
ST.RE.E10135.4
 Introduction to the Basic Encoder

NOTES…
1. VBI in Picture transmits the VBI waveform as part of the picture and as such will be subject to
some distortion. Most analogue VBI types are robust against this type of distortion but others,
e.g. video index, are intended for SDI transmission and will not survive MPEG coding/decoding
in VBI in Picture mode. VITS test signal and ghost cancellation signal will become corrupted.
2. VBI in Picture is not supported when 3:2 Pull-down is active.

VBI User Data

Closed Caption data, together with other formats such as VITC and AFD, can be transmitted
in the user data field of the video or relevant part of the video stream.

VBI in PID
The Encoder has the ability to extract and transmit a wide variety of VBI line formats. Circuitry
on the front-end of the equipment incorporates a number of general purpose line grabbers so
that known formats of VBI data can be extracted.
The following VBI data formats are supported:
• Line 21 (fields 1 and field 2) data Services EIA-608 (Closed Caption and V-chip)
• Neilson AMOL 1, Neilson AMOL 11
• VITC7 (EBU and SMPTE)
• Programme Delivery Control (PDC), via ITU-R system B Teletext extension data packets
of type 8/30, format 2 and Line 16 Video Programme System (VPS). Video Programming
Teletext (VPT) and VPS are trade names
• Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) (line 23) ETS 300 294
• Video Index (for Pan Scan, Aspect Ratio and Active Format Descriptor) (SD-SDI input
only)
• The supported VBI line number range is 10-22 and 272-285 for 525 lines and 6-22 and
318-334 for 625 lines

Teletext Extraction
The Encoder supports internal Teletext data extraction (Teletext drop) from the VBI of a video
input and formats this data into a transport packet, as specified in the DVB specification
EN300-472. The Encoder can extract up to 18 lines of Teletext from each field of the video
frame.
Line filters can be invoked to selectively disable any individual lines in this range. The filters
are provided to allow the user to ensure that non-Teletext lines (e.g. ITS lines) are not
erroneously extracted. The extracted Teletext lines are formatted into PES packets according
to the DVB specification. The Teletext PES packets are time stamped to allow correct
alignment of subtitling captions with decoded video.
The following Teletext services are extractable:
• Sytem B (WST) Teletext
• Video Programming Teletext (VPT), PDC (Packet 8/30 format 2)
• Inverted Teletext

1.2.4 High Definition (HD) Closed Captions and Teletext

High Definition mode only supports Closed Caption and Teletext insertion. AFD information
can also be signalled in the video user data – signalled by contact closure.

7
VITC (EBU and SMPTE), only timecode extracted.

Introduction to the Basic Encoder

1.2.5 Data Channels

The basic Encoder supports two data channels, an asynchronous RS-232 and a synchronous
RS-442. These are provided as data pipes only, they are not time stamped.
A menu entry is available which ensures transport stream formatting conforms to the Wegener
RS-232 data format for carriage of general data.
The Encoder supports, via a menu option, the carriage of DCIIText packets and ensures
transport stream formatting is in accordance with the Motorola specification.

1.2.6 Outputs
Three ASI-C (copper) outputs supplying a DVB and ATSC MPEG-2 transport stream are
supplied as standard.

1.2.7 Control and Monitoring

Remote control of the Encoder is via the Ethernet network running the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) protocol or via the RS-232/RS-485 remote control port.
Alternatively, Local control is implemented through the front panel keypad and display.

2.6.6 Audio Inputs

Connect the audio cable to the AUDIO IN connector. The 15-way,
D-type male connector is used in different ways according to the
audio input and the encoding configuration selected.
The connector provides two stereo pairs. They may be independently configured as either
analogue or digital. The left channel is used to input digital audio.
The Encoder is supplied with a break-out cable which plugs into this connector, and provides
a more convenient means of connecting the audio signals via five connectors. There are four
XLR female connectors, with the fifth cable being a BNC which provides an AES/EBU 75 Ω
digital reference output.

2.6.8 Control Interfaces

Connection
Operation of the Encoder from a TANDBERG Television control system is via the Ethernet
network running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) protocol. Connect the
ETHERNET connector to the controller (for example, MEM). Local control is implemented
through the front panel keypad and display. See Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally
for details of how to access the front panel menus.

Ethernet #1 and #2
An 8-way, RJ-45 connector provides a 10BaseT Ethernet interface
for communications with the MEM for control and monitoring. The
Encoder has a single switched Ethernet channel. Ethernet#1 is
selected as default at power-up. If a carrier is not detected on
Ethernet#1 then the input switches to Ethernet#2. This gives a
redundant Ethernet control via two hubs.

Alarm
If required, connect an external status monitoring device to the
ALARM connector.
A 9-way, D-type male connector provides an alarm relay interface
which can be used to send a signal to remote equipment.
When there are no active alarms or fails, the relays are energised. They are de-energised
when there is an active alarm or active fail. Thus, a loss of power will be signalled as an alarm
and fail.

3.2 Basic Interoperable Scrambling System - BISS

(M2/EDCOM2/BISS)
With the appropriate configuration, the Encoder can use the Basic Interoperable Scrambling
System (BISS3) to scramble the outgoing transport stream. This system has been developed
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as an open scrambling system.
BISS has three main levels of operation: Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode 3. Mode 0 corresponds to
no scrambling. BISS-E is also available.
BISS Mode 1 operation uses a fixed value for the control word to scramble the services in the
transport stream from the Encoder. To descramble the transmission, the Decoder needs to
have the matching control word value.
The BISS Module (M2/EDCOM2/BISS) comprises Assembly S12284 and Card S11484.

NOTES…
1. This option module is installed as a daughter card to the Base Board, with no external
connectors and does not use an option slot.
2. The BISS software must also be enabled in the Encoder (see Customer Services).

BISS scrambling (when fitted) is enabled and controlled via the Setup/Mux Menu (see
Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally, Section 4.9).

3.3 Additional Audio and Linear PCM Option

(M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2)
3.3.1 Overview
The Additional Audio option module supplements the audio encoding functionality of the
Encoder. This module supports audio standards MPEG-1 (layer 2), Dolby Digital (AC-3),
Linear PCM, Dolby Digital (AC-3) Pass-through, Dolby E Pass-through and DTS Pass-
through. The module can take in audio as either stereo analogue or digital AES/EBU (on left
channel only) via a 15-way D-type connector provided on its rear panel.
Alternatively, any two of the four pairs of embedded AES/EBU channels extracted from the
video can be routed to the module for encoding. This option supports all the standard bitrates
and encoding modes associated with each compression standard.
M2/EOM2/AUDLIN2 supports 12 dB, 15 dB, 18 dB and 24 dB audio clip level.
The Audio Menu associated with this option is described in Chapter 4, Operating the
Equipment Locally, Section 4.7.5. In the Audio Setup Menu additional options are
displayed for Audio XA and Audio XB, where X is the option slot number where the module is
fitted.
Refer to Annex F, Audio Modes for details of Encoder locking to ensure correct performance.

3.4 Advanced Audio Coding Option (M2/EOM2/ADVAUD)

3.4.1 Overview
The Advanced Audio Coding option module supplements the audio encoding functionality of
the Encoder to enable it to be used as a drop-in replacement for other Encoders. It can
encode four stereo audio pairs (two-channels) or one multichannel (six-channels -
multichannel
MPEG-2 AAC (ISO/IEC 13818-7) (LC)) and one stereo pair (two-channels). No other
combination of channel inputs is permitted.
The module can receive up to four simultaneous, independent AES3-2003 inputs on four 75 Ω
BNC coaxial AES3 inputs (compliant to AES-3id-2001) located at the Encoder’s rear panel. It
can also accept four AES3 inputs from the Encoder’s backplane to permit the use of
embedded audio. Each input supports 16, 20 and 24-bit resolutions and 48 kHz sampling and
is capable of passing 16, 20 and 24 bit samples to the audio encoders. 24 or 20 bit input
samples can be rounded to 16 bits.
The module accepts a PCR clock of 27 MHz in the form of a 3 wire serial interface. The inputs
are synchronised to the system reference clock through the use of phase locked sample-rate
converters prior to encoding.

3.13 IP Output Card (M2/EOM2/IP)

IP Card Pro-MPEG FEC (M2/EOM2/IP/PROFEC)
3.13.1 Overview
See Table 3.1 for the slots that it can be installed in.
The IP Output card provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, out of which the transport stream
generated by the Encoder can be output in UDP packets at up to 80 Mbit/s.
The mapping of MPEG-2 transport stream packets into IP data frames is done according to
the protocol stack shown in Figure 3.10.

NOTE…
More support has been given in V2.8.x of the IP Output Card in V3.6.x of the Encoder. This is
accessed using menu items on the IP menu tree from the front panel, telnet and web interfaces.
● The IP output can be turned off using the “IP Output” menu item.
● A “Line Mode” menu item allows the setting to be either “Fixed” or “Auto”.

3.14 Dual Output IP/Ethernet Option

(EN5900/HWO/IPTSDUAL)
3.14.1 Read This First!
The Single Output IP/Ethernet Option (EN5900/HWO/IPTS) option has been superseded by
this dual output version. However systems with a mixture of the two options are not supported
due to the differences in operation.

3.14.2 Overview
The Dual IP/Ethernet card provides two separate 100/1000 BaseT Ethernet ports to allow
direct connection to a redundant IP/Ethernet network. The transport stream generated by the
Encoder can be encapsulated into UDP/IP packets according to RFC2250 with an optional
RTP header and transmitted at up to 65 Mbit/s. Additionally the card is capable of splitting the
multi-program transport stream into its individual constituent services and transmitting each
service with its own set of parameters.
The mapping of MPEG-2 transport stream packets into IP data frames is done according to
the protocol stack shown in Figure 3.11.

This menu appears if the card EN5900/HWO/IPTSDUAL is installed in the encoder. This
allows direct connection to a redundant IP/Ethernet network as it has two separate Ethernet
connections. The menu structure is shown in Figure 3.13. The menu is in two parts:
• Dual IPNIC control: specifies the parameters associated with the card such as the IP
address of the ports.
• Dual IPNIC TS: there is a menu associated with each Transport Stream output. At the
moment, there is only the capability for a single Transport Stream output but dividing the
Transport Stream into its component services is on the roadmap.

4.1 Introduction
The front panel display and keypad may be used to configure, control and monitor the
Encoder when an evolution 5000 Multiplex Element Manager (MEM) is not used.

4.2 Local Control

4.2.1 Introduction
At power-on the Encoder runs through a boot sequence (boot time without any option modules
is approximately 45 seconds). An initial Input Monitor screen is shown.

4.2.2 Navigating the Display and Menu Screens

Each of the menu items on the display has a connection to a softkey (see Figure 4.1). Press
the associated softkey to select the required option. Use the + and – softkeys to scroll through
the choices in the option or use the keypad on the far right of the display to change options
(unless indicated otherwise in the display).
The last item in the right-hand corner of each menu is Quit. This causes the display to revert
to the previous menu in the hierarchy. The screens displayed in this Reference Guide are only
representations - there might be differences between equipment, depending upon the options
chosen.

NOTE…
In the Encoder menus when it states that you may “update using softkeys” you can use both softkeys
and keyboard keys for some options.

In SD mode, high bitrates in low resolutions cannot always generate sufficient bits to match the requested
bitrate. However, a valid picture will still be produced.

CAUTION…
When using the Encoder with a PRO IRD M2/PSR/3/422BAS in 4:2:2 SD mode the upper
video bitrate limit of the IRD is 25 Mbit/s.

bitrate Tracking: If the bitrate option is set to its maximum then bitrate Tracking is automatically
switched on. In this mode, any changes which cause the mux bitrate to
increase or decrease will cause the video rate to always fill the available mux
bitrate. Changes which cause the mux rate to change include varying audio
bitrate, RS-232 data bitrate, changing symbol-rate (on Voyager units).
bitrate tracking is switched off by manually setting the video bitrate to any
value lower than the maximum.
On an Encoder fitted with a Remux card, only changes to the Host bitrate will cause the video rate to track.
Increasing the final bitrate (e.g. by changing the symbol=rate) will NOT cause the video=rate of the local
service to increase. This is to allow the final rate to be increased to accommodate more Remux services.

If this is set very high then the generated bitrate clips at the Bmax value. If it is
set very low then the bitrate clips at Bmin. Somewhere in-between the bitrate
varies, depending on the picture material being encoded. Simple pictures use a
lower bitrate than complex pictures.
When in this mode the main encoder output remains at the bitrate set within
the Mux menu and any spare unused bitrate is filled with stuffing packets.
These could optionally be removed and reinserted by some equipment
between the Encoder and Decoder.

The structure length determines how regularly an I frame is transmitted. The I frame provides a regular

wildly inaccurate.
Some of the settings may not be available if they are not valid for use with other current encoding parameters.
Also, changing the GOP structure automatically changes the GOP length if the current GOP length is not

MPEG-2 encodes video at the field/frame level in what are known as pictures. These are coding units within the
hierarchy of the spec. Pictures can be used in two ways, frame pictures and field pictures. With frame pictures
a frame of a field 1 and field 2 is encoded as a single unit. With field pictures each individual field of video is
encoded as a single unit, but must be followed or preceded by another field picture relating to its matching

Scene Cut Detection: In SD mode, this is a status only option. The Encoder detects that a scene
change has happened and so intra-codes some or all of the blocks. That is, the
picture is coded without any reference to previous frames.
In HD mode, the Encoder also detects that a scene cut has occurred but, in
this mode, inserts a complete new I frame to change the GOP structure to start
on the new scene. This, again, stops any references to previous frames.
However, changing the GOP structure may cause problems with older
generation receiving equipment. Hence, Scene Cut Detection can be turned off
in HD Encoder mode.

Wegener ASYNC data are transmitted as private stream 2 type data. This
stream conforms to ISO13818. The adaptation field is used to add stuffing
bytes if needed to complete a TS packet. Stuffing bytes are set to a value of
0xFF. Payload data bytes follow the packet length field and do not include a
CRC field.
On(Motorola) If On (Motorola) is selected, the stream is identified in the PMT as a
component of type 0xC0 with no descriptors. The RS232 data is encapsulated
directly into the full 184 payload bytes of the transport packets (i.e. no PES
layer).
The RS-232 data-stream is expected to contain complete DCIIText packets.
These packets must be preceded by the sequence (0x7F, 0xFE, 0x7F, 0Xfe)
followed by 2-bytes which contain the length of the DCIIText packet. Once this

Buffer Data: Send immediately This option is only available in Tandberg mode.
Whenever data is available at the RS232 port it is sent in the output transport
stream. This can result in wasted bandwidth due to low packet occupancy.
Also results in a higher packet rate which may cause some receivers to
overflow.

entered corresponds to the PID of the packets being received over Ethernet.
On(VRNav Data) The Encoder accepts data, as DCIIText messages containing VRNav data
packets, coming in as UDP datagrams on its Ethernet port.
The Encoder will packetise the data into Transport Packets and set TS header
bits – Packet Start is set for each TS packet containing the start of a DCIIText
packet.
On (TSPkt Data) When selected, the Encoder expects pre-formed transport stream packets, one
per UDP packet.

4.8.7 Output Format = IP Streamer

(M2/EOM2/IP/PROFEC Option Module)
Table 4.26 shows the options for the IP Streamer Output Format.

Table 4.26: IP Streamer Output Format Options

Selected Item Options Description

Own IP Address: The IP address associated with the 100 Mbit/s Ethernet video output interface.
Network Mask: The network mask setting corresponding to the Own IP address.
Router IP Address: If the Destination IP Address setting indicates an IP address not residing on
the local net segment, the video traffic is forwarded to this gateway.
IP Output: Allows the User to switch off or on the IP streamed video output.
Protocol/ProMPEG FEC: UDP
RTP/FEC0
RTP/FEC1 This sets the protocol to be used for the IP Frame. It establishes the IP frame
structure to be either: UDP, UDP plus the RTP Header or UDP, the RTP
RTP/FEC2
Header, the FEC Header and 16 Reed-Solomon Bytes after each 188 byte
RTP/FEC3 payload packets.
RTP/FEC4
RTP
TS Pkts/UDP Frm: 1-7 Configures how many 188-byte MPEG-2 Transport Stream packets are
mapped into each UDP frame. For bitrates in excess of 15 Mbit/s it is
recommended to use the maximum setting of 7 and limit the minimum to not
less than 2.
Nbr of Cols: Configures the number of Columns in the matrix, and determines the number
of MPEG packets used when calculating the Row FEC packets.
Nbr of Rows: Configures the number of Rows in the matrix, and determines the number of
MPEG packets used when calculating the Column FEC packets.
Destination x IP Address: In Smallcasting mode, up to four separate destination IP addresses can be
assigned.This is the IP address to which the video stream should be sent. It
can either be a unicast IP address or it can be a class D multicast address
(224.0.0.1-239.255.255.255). Choosing a multicast IP address enables
IGMPv2 support. Configuring a normal IP address turns off the IGMPv2
support again.
The maximum multiplexer output rate, which can be reliably streamed to each IP address, is reduced for
each extra destination address that is added. i.e. if two destinations are specified, the maximum rate for
each address is half of that for one address, and so on.

Destination x UDP Port: Up to four separate UDP Ports can be assigned.

This configures the UDP destination port field in the outgoing UDP frames.
Time To Live: A value greater than This is the Time-to-Live setting as specified in RFC-791. The Time-to-Live
one is recommended setting is decremented by one for each Router hop the IP frame does. When 0
(zero) is reached, the packet is discarded by the network..
Type of Service: The byte value of the Type-of-Service (TOS) field in the IP header as specified
in RFC-791. It is used for Class-of-service prioritisation. It depends on the
Router honouring this field.
Line Mode: Auto (default and Allows the IP Streamer card to automatically negotiate the port speed and
preferred setting) mode as the port automatically advertises its maximum capabilities.
Fixed If set to Fixed, the line speed is fixed to 100 Mbits/s Full Duplex mode.

4.8.8 Output Format = G.703 Output Menu

Introduction
The G.703 Output Menu is selected from the Output Menu. The G.703 Interface Module
enables a Broadcast Application to interface an Encoder to a G.703 Telecommunication
Network. The card only provides a transmit source of a DVB service over a G.703 network.
See Figure 4.12 for the menu structure.

NOTE…
The G.703 card is only compatible with TANDBERG Television’s MkII G.703 Input card.

receive the transmission. The same Session Word must be used at the receive end.
If the Session Words are the same, then the IRDs are able to decrypt the broadcast. If the Session
Words are different, the broadcast is not received.

CAUTION…
Take precautions to avoid general knowledge of the Session Word.

4.11.1 Option Availability
This option is only available from the Systems Menu when the M2/ESO2/DPI licence key is
purchased. DPI can be triggered either by GPI contact closure or by the DVS525 protocol.

4.11.2 Overview
Splicing is used to insert Digital Programme (e.g. advertisements) into an MPEG-2 transport
stream. SCTE-35 has been written to support splicing information for Cable systems.

4.11.3 DPI Initiated by GPI

Only one of the card’s eight inputs is used. This is configured to be a straight Open/Close
switch. The switch is then able to activate/deactivate the splicing message insertion.
The GPI card is used as an interface between the Encoder and an Automation System. The
System dictates when the Encoder is to send SCTE-35 messages by changing the state of the
GPI card’s input switch. Before the command can be executed, some Encoder parameters
need to be set.

4.11.4 DPI Initiated by DVS525

The number of options available through this method are shown in Table 4.46. In this mode,
the Encoder responds to messages received via Ethernet adhering to the DVS 525 protocol.

to enter all parameters individually. The default configurations can be used as they are, or
loaded as the active configuration and edited as required.
The Encoder normally holds the following configurations:
One Active Configuration (it runs the Encoder)
Sixteen user configurations (in the User FLASH)
Sixteen backup configurations (in Backup FLASH)
Sixteen HD factory default configurations

Active Configuration
This is the configuration that the Encoder is currently using. It is loaded from one of the 16
user configuration locations (Load Active Config). It can be edited at any time and also
stored back as one of the user configurations (Store Active Config).

User Configurations
Configurations loaded into the user FLASH become user configurations. Any one of the user
configurations can be loaded as an active configuration (Load Active Config). A modified
active configuration can be copied back into one of the user FLASH locations (Store Active
Config) where it can be password write-protected. A user configuration that is write-protected
cannot be overwritten. The 16 user configurations can be saved in the backup FLASH (Store
Configs in Backup).

CAUTION…
Any user configuration that is not write-protected, will be overwritten
when Factory Default or Backup configurations are loaded to the user FLASH.

Backup Configurations
Backup FLASH stores a copy of each of the 16 user configurations when you select Store
Conf igs in Backup, you will be asked for the password here.
If unsure of the user configurations or they become inadvertently modified, the user
configurations can be returned to a known state at any time by the command Load Co nf igs
from Backup. This loads the 16 backup configurations to the User FLASH, overwriting all
user configurations that are not write-protected. Individual configurations cannot be selected
for loading to the User FLASH.
The active (current) configuration is unaltered when you select Load C onf igs from Backup.

There are 16 default configurations. They are provided as examples and can be used as they
are, if their settings suit your needs. They are non-editable. The 16 default configurations can
be loaded to the user FLASH at any time by selecting Factory HD Defaults. This overwrites
all user configurations that are not write-protected. Individual configurations cannot be
selected for loading to the User FLASH.

Configuration, Write-Protection
Any or all of the 16 user configurations can be write-protected by selecting Write Protect
Configs. A password is asked for. With the correct password entered, the question Write
protect Which Configs? appears.
Select which configurations to protect by pressing the associated softkey in each case. This
toggles the write-protect condition (On or Off) for each individual configuration. The letter R
when shown to the left of the config number, indicates that the configuration is read-only
(write-protected).
Any configuration that is write-protected will be displayed as read-only if attempting to
overwrite it.

5.6 Cloning a File

A particularly useful feature of the Encoder is the ability to extract a clone file. This can be sent
to TANDBERG Television and used to configure other Encoders to exactly the same
specification. It is very useful when trying to reproduce a fault and also for restoring a machine
after repair. The file is extracted using TFTP protocol (see Figure 5.6).
To extract the file, open a Command Prompt window and type:
tftp –i `IP address of Encoder’ get clone
For instance, tftp –i 172.16.197.245 get clone
The cloned file will be stored on the PC drive in the same directory that the command prompt
is set to.

 Preventive Maintenance and Fault-finding

6.7 Fault-finding
6.7.1 Fault-finding Philosophy
It is the objective of this chapter to provide sufficient information to enable the operator to
rectify apparent faults or else to identify the suspect module, where possible. Some basic
procedures are provide to follow in the event of a suspected Encoder failure. It is assumed
that fault-finding has already been performed at a system level and that other equipment units
have been eliminated as the possible cause of the failure (see relevant System Manual).

WARNING…
DO NOT REMOVE THE COVERS OF THIS EQUIPMENT. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT
WITHIN THIS EQUIPMENT AND MAY BE EXPOSED IF THE COVERS ARE REMOVED. ONLY
TANDBERG TELEVISION TRAINED AND APPROVED SERVICE ENGINEERS ARE PERMITTED TO
SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.

CAUTION…
Do not remove the covers of this equipment. Unauthorised maintenance or the use of non-approved
replacements may affect the equipment specification and invalidate any warranties.

This manual does not include any maintenance information or procedures which would require
the removal of covers.
If the following information fails to clear the abnormal condition, call a Service Engineer or
contact Customer Services using the information given in the preliminary pages of this
manual.

6.7.2 Preliminary Checks

Always investigate the failure symptoms fully, prior to taking remedial action. Fault diagnosis
for the equipment operator is limited to the following tasks, since the operator should NOT
remove the covers of the equipment:
1. Check the front panel Power LED. If this is not lit:
a) Replace the fuse in the power connector at the rear panel (see Section 6.7.3, A.C. User
Accessible Fuse Replacement).

NOTE…
Only replace the fuse once. If it blows again contact Customer Services.

b) Replace external equipment, power source and cables by substitution to check their
performance.
2. Confirm that the equipment hardware configuration is suitable for the purpose and has
been correctly installed and connected (see Chapter 2, Installing the Equipment).
3. Confirm that inappropriate operator action is not causing the problem, and that the
equipment software set-up is capable of performing the task being asked of it. If the
validity of the configuration, set-up or operation is in doubt, check it (see Chapter 4,
Operating the Encoder Locally).
4. Check that the fans are unobstructed and working correctly.
When the failure condition has been fully investigated, and the symptoms are known, proceed
with fault-finding according to the observed symptoms. If the fault persists, and cannot be
rectified using the instructions given in this manual, contact Customer Services. Switch off the
equipment if it becomes unusable, or to protect it from further damage.

Problem What to do
Video input lock error Check video input.
Video - wrong line standard Check which video format is selected.
VCM stopped Reboot.
Bad parameters Check set-up.

Breaks in Transmission
If a transitory break in transmission occurs then check the encoding mode option of the
Encoder (see Chapter 4, Operating the Equipment Locally).
In the standard delay, low delay, very low delay and mega low delay the following are not
seamless: encoding modes, bitrate and GOP changes. This is because the Encoder tries to
maintain minimal end-to-end delay (latency) and that means buffer sizes must be as small as
possible. In the standard delay, low delay, very low delay and mega low delay encoding
modes the buffer size is selected by the video bitrate. Changing the bitrate changes the buffer
size, requiring a reset of the coding process.
For reflex operation video bitrate changes must be seamless as the bitrate varies
continuously. All the seamless modes are seamless only for video bitrate changes. However,
for some GOP changes operation can be seamless, but this aspect is not guaranteed.

Noise Reduction
Where incoming picture material is corrupted by high frequency noise (such as white noise) it
is advisable to make use of the noise reduction process. Noise reduction can be selected at
either the front panel or by the MEM.

6.7.6 Audio Fault-finding

If having problems when using the Dolby E Pass-through coding mode then refer to Annex F,
Audio Modes, for information about using this mode.

6.7.7 Mux Fault-finding

If there is no output from the ASI connectors, check the following:
1. The bitrate - if it is too low then the video etc. is automatically switched off.
2. The packet length - should be 188 or 204 bytes depending upon configuration.

6.8 Rate Buffer Setting (SD Only)

The Encoder, when running in 4:2:21 mode, has two software selectable rate buffer modes;
small and medium.
When transmitting 4:2:21 mode into systems using the earlier System 3000 PRO IRD
M2/PSR/3/422BAS then the rate buffer mode of the Encoder must be set to 'small'.
However, when operating into an Alteia the rate buffer mode of the Encoder must be set to
‘medium’ (default size).
When operating in mixed environments, both the Alteia and the Encoder must be changed to
small buffer mode.

NOTE…
Contact Customer Services for advice about changing the settings (see Preliminary Pages).

 Glossary

Channel Coding A way of encoding data in a communications channel that adds patterns of redundancy into the transmission path
in order to improve the error rate. Such methods are widely used in wireless communications.
Chrominance The colour part of a TV picture signal, relating to the hue and saturation but not to the luminance (brightness) of
the signal. In a composite-coded colour system, the colour information (chrominance, often referred to as
chroma) is modulated onto a high frequency carrier and added to the monochrome-format video signal carrying
the luminance (Y). In a component-coded colour system, the two colour-difference signals (R-Y)(B-Y) usually
referred to as CRCB (digital) or PRPB (analogue), are used to convey colour information. When CRCB (PRPB) is
added to the luminance (Y), the complete picture information is conveyed as YCRCB (YPRPB).
Closed Captioning A TV picture subtitling system used with 525-line analogue transmissions.
CODE Create Once Distribute Everywhere.
Codec The combination of an Encoder and a complementary Decoder located respectively at the input and output of a
transmission path.
COFDM Coded OFDM: COFDM adds forward error correction to the OFDM transmission consisting of Reed-Solomon
(RS) coding followed by convolutional coding to add extra bits to the transmitted signal. This allows a large number
of errors at the receive end to be corrected by convolutional (Viterbi) decoding followed by RS decoding.
Compression Reduction in the number of bits used to represent the same information. For the purposes of a broadcast system,
it is the process of reducing digital picture information by discarding redundant portions of information that are not
required when reconstituting the picture to produce viewing clarity. Compression allows a higher bite-rate to be
transmitted through a given bandwidth.
Compression System Responsible for compressing and multiplexing the video / audio / data bitstreams, together with the authorisation
stream. The multiplexed data stream is then ready for transmission.
CRCB Digital Colour difference signals. These signals, in combination with the luminance signal (Y), define the colour
and brightness of each picture element (pixel) on a TV line. See: Chrominance
CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check: A mathematical algorithm that computes a numerical value based on the bits in a
block of data. This number is transmitted with the data and the receiver uses this information and the same
algorithm to ensure the accurate delivery of data by comparing the results of algorithm and the number received. If
a mismatch occurs, an error in transmission is presumed.
CVCT Cable Virtual Channel Table (ATSC).
dB Decibels: A ratio of one quantity to another using logarithmic scales to give results related to human aural or
visual perception. dB is a ratio whereas dBm, for example, is an absolute value, quoted as a ratio to a fixed point
of 0 dBm. 0 dBm is 1 mW at 1 kHz terminated in 600Ω. 0 dBmV is 1 mV terminated in 75Ω.
DCE Data Communications Equipment: Typically a modem. It establishes, maintains and terminates a session on a
network but in itself is not the source (originator) or destination (end receiving unit) of signals (e.g. a computer, see
DTE). A DCE device may also convert signals to comply with the transmission path (network) format.
DCT Discrete Cosine Transform: A technique for expressing a waveform as a weighted sum of cosines. Raw video
data is not readily compressible. DCT is not in itself a compression technique but is used to process the video data
so that it is compressible by an encoder. DCT processes the picture on an 8x8-pixel block basis, converting the
data from an uncompressible X Y form (as displayed by an oscilloscope) to a compressible frequency domain form
(as displayed by a spectrum analyser). Can be forward DCT or inverse DCT.
DDS Direct Digital Synthesiser.
De-blocking Filter An in-loop deblocking filter is designed to smooth out artefacts introduced by the compression process in the
reconstructed image in both the encoder and decoder. Then the motion estimation and compensation should
produce better quality for the same bitrate.
Decoder The unit containing the electronic circuitry necessary to decode encrypted signals. Some Decoders are separate
from the receiver but in satellite TV broadcasting, the term is often used interchangeably as a name for an
Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD). The term IRD, or IRD / Decoder, is usually associated with satellite TV
broadcasting while Cable systems are based on Converters or on Set-Top Boxes / Converters.
Decoding Time stamp A field that may be present in a PES packet header that indicates the time that an access unit is to be decoded in
the system target Decoder.
DID Data Identifier for embedded audio within the HD-SDI signal.
Differential Coding Method of coding using the difference between the value of a sample and a predicted value.

FIFO First In, First Out: A data structure or hardware buffer from which items are taken out in the
same order they were put in. Also known as a shelf from the analogy with pushing items onto

Interframe Coding Compression coding involving consecutive frames. When consecutive frames are compared, temporal redundancy
is used to remove common elements (information) and arrive at difference information. MPEG-2 uses B and P
frames, but since they are individually incomplete and relate to other adjacent frames, they cannot be edited
independently.
Intraframe Coding Compression coding involving a single frame. Redundant information is removed on a per frame basis. All other
frames are ignored. Coding of a macroblock or picture that uses information only from that macroblock or picture.
Exploits spatial redundancy by using DCT to produce I frames; these are independent frames and can be edited.
IP Internet Protocol: The IP part of TCP/IP. IP implements the network layer (layer 3) of the protocol, which contains
a network address and is used to route a message to a different network or sub-network. IP accepts packets from

ISDN Integrated Services Digital Network: The basic ISDN service is BRI (Basic Rate Interface), which is made up of
two 64 kbit/s B channels and one 16 kbit/s D channel (2B+D). If both channels are combined into one, called

(28.8 kbit/s).
The ISDN high-speed service is PRI (Primary Rate Interface). It provides 23 B channels and one 64 kbit/s D
channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. When several channels are bonded together,
high data rates can be achieved. For example, it is common to bond six channels for quality videoconferencing at
384 kbit/s. In Europe, PRI includes 30 B channels and one D channel, equivalent to an E1 line.

B.8.7 Materials Declarations

TANDBERG Television products are designed and manufactured in keeping with good
environmental practise. Our component and materials selection policy prohibits the use of a
range of potentially hazardous materials. In addition, we comply with relevant environmental
legislation.

For the European Union

For product sold into the EU after 1st July 2006, we comply with the EU RoHS Directive. We
also comply with the WEEE Directive.

For China
For product sold into China after 1st March 2007, we comply with the “Administrative Measure
on the Control of Pollution by Electronic Information Products”. In the first stage of this
legislation, content of six hazardous materials has to be declared together with a statement of
the “Environmentally Friendly Use Period (EFUP)”: the time the product can be used in normal
service life without leaking the hazardous materials. TANDBERG Television expects the
normal use environment to be in an equipment room at controlled temperatures (around 22°C)
with moderate humidity (around 60%) and clean air, near sea level, not subject to vibration or
shock.
Where TANDBERG Television product contains potentially hazardous materials, this is
indicated on the product by the appropriate symbol containing the EFUP. For TANDBERG
Television products, the hazardous material content is limited to lead (Pb) in some solders.
This is extremely stable in normal use and the EFUP is taken as 50 years, by comparison with
the EFUP given for Digital Exchange/Switching Platform in equipment in Appendix A of
“General Rule of Environment-Friendly Use Period of Electronic Information Products”. This is
indicated by the product marking:

50
It is assumed that while the product is in normal use, any batteries associated with real-time
clocks or battery-backed RAM will be replaced at the regular intervals.
The EFUP relates only to the environmental impact of the product in normal use, it does not
imply that the product will continue to be supported for 50 years.

 Creating and Downloading a Logo

D.1 Introduction
The Encoder includes a logo overlay facility whereby an image can be overlaid onto the active
video prior to encoding. This enables broadcasters to trademark or brand their material with a
logo.
To overlay the material with a logo, the logo must first be downloaded into the equipment
using the Ethernet TFTP protocol. Once this has been done the logo can be enabled or
disabled. Contact TANDBERG Television for further details.

D.2 Summary of Features

Up to 13 logos can be overlaid onto the active video. The space each logo occupies is
referred to as a region. If two logo regions share a horizontal line they may interfere with each
other, so this should be avoided, (see Section D.7.5). i.e. logos may be placed adjacent
vertically, but not horizontally. Logos cannot be overlapped.
One logo can be downloaded into Flash memory and will still be present after the Encoder has
been powered OFF. All other logos are stored in volatile memory and will be lost when the
Encoder is powered OFF.
To create and download logos to the Encoder, two Windows applications are required, Osd
Creator and Osd Loader. Once a logo has been downloaded to Flash it can be
enabled/disabled from the front panel menu: Setup/Video/Video source/Stored OSD.
Logos downloaded to volatile memory can only be controlled by the OSD Loader application
running from a PC.
Logos are defined at pixel resolution and include a red, green, blue and transparency
component. Logos can be positioned anywhere in the active video and can be any size from
1x1 pixel to the full size of the active picture. Logos are limited to a maximum of 256 colours,
including different levels of transparency.
The logo is overlaid onto the active picture prior to horizontal and vertical down-sampling,
noise reduction and video bandwidth filtering, if these are used.

NOTE…
In HD, large OSDs can take a very long time to download due to the data size.

D.3 OSD Programs Built Into the Encoder

Two Windows applications are required for creating and downloading logos to the Encoder,
namely Osd Creator and Osd Loader. These programs are stored permanently in the Encoder
where they can be downloaded via the Web Browser Interface. Further information is
available in Chapter 5, Web Browser Interface. These applications must be unzipped and
saved to a PC prior to use. This requires WinZip to be installed on the PC.
Using the Web Browser interface, see Figure D.1, select Option 2 Tools, OSD Toolkit.

Figure D.3: Files for OSD Creator and Loader

D.4 Creating a Logo Using OSD Creator

Osd Creator (creator.exe) is an application for creating logo files (.osd format) for use with the
Osd Loader application (osd.exe) to download them to the Encoder. It accepts Windows
Bitmap (.bmp) format files as input. It includes the facility to introduce a mix component into
the image, so that when the image is superimposed onto video, some areas appear to be
transparent.
The application also includes the facility to downsample the image to the desired size.
The application runs under Windows NT.

NOTE…
The OSD Creator program only has limited features for the manipulation of images. It is wise to carry
out any complex image editing using dedicated graphics software prior to importing the .bmp image file
into the OSD Creator.

D.5 Using OSD Creator

D.5.1 Overview
To create a logo (.osd) file:
1. Load a Bitmap (.bmp) file.
2. Add transparency in the desired areas.
3. Downsample to the desired size.
4. Save as an .osd file.
An example of a logo is shown in Figure D.4.

D.5.2 Loading a .bmp File

Select File/Open from the menu, and choose a file with a .bmp extension. The image is
displayed in its own window. The application does not accept compressed bitmaps or multi-
planed bitmaps. If a 24-bit colour bitmap image is loaded into Osd Creator it will be
automatically converted down to a 256 colour palette.

D.5.3 Creating Transparency

Overview
Each pixel in a .bmp file is represented by a red, green and blue component, each with a
value 0 to 255. Osd Creator adds a fourth component for the transparency of the pixel. This is
referred to as a mix or transparency (T) value and is displayed in the bottom right status
panel. The transparency component also has a range of 0 to 255, where 0 is fully transparent
and 255 is fully opaque.
Osd Creator uses a colour palette with a maximum of 256 entries. Each pixel in the image is
mapped to an entry in the palette, which holds a value for the red, green and blue and
transparency component. The transparency (or mix) is treated as a colour component, so for
two colours with identical red, green and blue values, but different transparency levels, two
entries will be generated in the palette.
When a bitmap image is loaded, all colours have a transparency value of 255 (opaque).

Page D-6 Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder
ST.RE.E10135.4
 Creating and Downloading a Logo

The area of the image that is to remain opaque is referred to as the active area. The area of
the image that is to be made transparent is called the inactive area. Transparency can added
manually, with a brush, or by using a key file.

Adding Transparency Manually

The background colour within Osd Creator can be changed with the black, red, green and
blue buttons on the toolbar. This changes the background colour of the editor window on
which the logo is overlaid and not the logo itself, which remains unaffected. This facility is
useful to show the transparency of different colours. It is best to start with a background colour
that contrasts sharply with the whole of the source image.
Using the options immediately below the toolbar, the mouse pointer can be used as a brush to
add transparency to an area. The left mouse button will apply the transparency value set for
the LButton Mix and the right mouse button will apply the transparency value set for the
RbuttonMix. At start-up these are set so LButton Mix is 0, to make an area transparent, and
RButton Mix is 255, to make it opaque.
Different mix levels can be entered for intermediate levels of transparency. Selecting a brush
size from the drop-down list determines the size of the area that is changed.
If the Changes Affect Palette box is checked, changing the transparency of a pixel on the
image also changes the palette entry on which the pixel is based, and all the pixels that share
that palette entry.
If the inactive area is mainly one colour, check the Changes Affect Palette box, and left-click
in the inactive area. All pixels of that colour should become background-coloured. Repeat until
the whole of the inactive area is transparent. If parts of the active area have become
transparent, uncheck the Changes Affect Palette box, and paint with the right button to
correct these areas. Zoom in if necessary.
If there is no general colour for the inactive area, uncheck the Changes Affect Palette box
and paint the inactive area manually with the left mouse button. Use the right button to correct
mistakes. Trace around the edge of the area with a medium brush, then use the large brush
for wide areas. Zoom in to do the fine corrections.

Adding Transparency Using a Key File

A key file is a Bitmap (.bmp) file of the same size as the source file, with the active area of the
image coloured white, the inactive area coloured black, and intermediate levels of
transparency coloured grey.
Create the key file using a drawing package. Colour the active area white, and the inactive
area black. Save as a .bmp file.
Click the Key File toolbar button. Select the key file. The inactive area of the image should
now be transparent (background-coloured). Change the background colour to verify that the
correct area is transparent.

Editing the Palette

The palette may be displayed alongside the image by clicking the Show/Hide Palette toolbar
button. The transparency of each palette entry may be altered in the same way as the image
itself, using the left and right mouse buttons. Changes to the palette are shown immediately
on the image.
The Red, Green, Blue and Mix component of the pixel or palette entry under the cursor can be
seen on the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder Page D-7
ST.RE.E10135.4
Creating and Downloading a Logo

Palette Reallocation
When the level of transparency of a pixel in the image is changed, a new colour is effectively
created. Whenever the image is downsampled or saved, the palette is rebuilt to reflect the
actual colours in the image. As part of this process, pixels which have a mix value of zero are
mapped to palette entry zero, which is defined as Red = Green = Blue = Mix = 0. The original
colour information is lost and the right mouse button will not change the pixel back to its
original colour.
To rebuild the palette during editing, click the Reallocate Palette toolbar button.

D.5.4 Downsampling
Click the Downsample toolbar button. A dialog box appears asking for a downsampling ratio.
This can be specified directly, or by entering the desired image size. Click OK to downsample
the image. The downsampling algorithm includes a filter, so the boundary between the active
and inactive areas softens slightly. Zoom in and check that the correct areas are transparent,
and make corrections if necessary.

NOTE…
Once the image has been downsampled, the process cannot be reversed to change the image back to
its original size.

D.5.5 Saving the .osd File

Select File/Save As/OSD file from the menu. Saving is possible at any time, and it is
advisable to save the image often while editing is in progress. The file may also be saved in
.bmp format, but this file will not contain transparency information.

 Creating and Downloading a Logo

D.6 Downloading a Logo Using OSD Loader

The Osd Loader application (osd.exe) is used for downloading logo (.osd) files to the Encoder
and controlling which are displayed.
The application runs on a PC with Windows 95 or Windows NT. A network connection is
required. The target Encoder's IP address must be visible from the host PC.
The application uses the .osd file format for images. These can be derived from Windows
.bmp files using the OSD Creator application (see Section D.4, Creating a Logo Using OSD
Creator).
An example of an OSD Loader screen is shown in Figure D.5.

Figure D.5: OSD Loader Screen Showing Example Logo

D.7 Using the OSD Loader

D.7.1 Start-up
Activate the application (osd.exe). The application attempts to connect to the last known
Encoder address. If the address is not correct, click the Abort button and enter the IP address
of the target Encoder. This can be found on the Encoder front panel by selecting
Setup/System/Remote Control. To test the connection, click the Remove All button (you will
be prompted for confirmation – Remove all OSD Regions Yes/No). The communications box
(at the top of the screen) should read Transfer Completed OK.
The Resolution Mode must be set to match the video resolution being used. This adjusts the
preview screen to the dimensions of the active video.

D.7.2 Download an .osd File

Choose an On-screen Display file with the Choose File button. You will be prompted for a file
with an .osd extension. The image will be displayed in the OSD File box.
Position the image on the screen by dragging the white cursor box around the main placement
window. The position can also be adjusted by editing the co-ordinates boxes.
A logo can be overlaid anywhere in the digital active picture. When a logo is positioned in the
main placement window, the co-ordinates are shown for the top left corner of the logo. The
co-ordinates that the Osd Loader uses include an offset. Figure D.6 and Figure D.7 illustrate
how these co-ordinates relate to the active picture for SD mode.
When the logo is correctly positioned, click the Download button. Transferring Data…
appears in the communications box. The image will be displayed in the main window. Wait for
Transfer Completed OK to appear in the communications box. After a short delay, the image
should appear on the output from the Receiver.
If the Auto Store box is checked, when the logo is downloaded to the Encoder, it will be
stored in Flash memory and will still be present after the Encoder has been powered off. Only
one logo can be stored in Flash at any time. The maximum logo file size that can be stored in
Flash is 65 279 bytes. The file size will be affected by the size of the logo and its complexity
(number of colours and levels of transparency). For example this is roughly equivalent to a
logo 200 x 145 pixels with 256 colours (62 567 bytes).
If the Auto Store box is left unchecked, the downloaded logo will be stored in volatile memory
and will be lost when power is removed from the Encoder.

D.7.3 Show and Hide Regions

The Download button defines a Region in the Encoder, which remains until the Encoder is
turned off, the Remove button is clicked, or the Region is Downloaded again. The Region
may be in the Shown or Hidden state, which determines whether it appears in the video
stream. If the Auto Show box is checked, the initial state is Shown. Use the Show, Hide,
Fade Up and Fade Down buttons to change the state of the region. Shown regions have a
green border in the main window, Hidden regions have a red border.

NOTE…
Remove or Remove all does not erase a logo that has been stored in Flash memory. It will be
removed from the video picture, but will still be available from the front panel Stored OSD On/Off
menu option.

D.7.4 Multiple Regions

Multiple Regions may be displayed. To define an additional Region, change the Region
Number at the top of the Region Operations box, and repeat the Download procedure.
Buttons in the Region Operations box only affect the current Region number (with the
exception of Remove All). The current Region can also be changed by double-clicking on the
image in the main window. The current region has a brighter border in the main window.
Uncheck the Images box to display the Region number in the main window instead of the
image.

D.7.5 Region Interference

If two Regions share a horizontal line, they may interfere. This means that when both Regions
are Shown, only one actually appears in the video stream. The application warns if this is the
case. When one of the Regions is Hidden, the other may be Shown as normal.

 Creating and Downloading a Logo

D.8 Fault-finding
If there appears to be a problem creating or downloading a logo check the following:
• If the Communications box reads "Error Creating Socket", there may be a problem with
the PC's network set-up, or another application may be using the TFTP socket number.
• If the Communications box reads "Waiting For Response" for a long time, the target
Encoder is either busy or not visible on the network. Abort the transfer before changing
the IP address.
• Large images take time to appear due to network transfer rates and image processing.
• If the download completes, but the OSD image does not appear on video, the image may
be too near the edge of the screen – try moving it towards the centre. Make sure the
correct line standard is selected.
• Make sure the image is visible on a typical domestic television. Make a note of the co-
ordinates where the image is required.
• If precise timing is required, Download the image in advance with Auto Show off, then
click Show when display is required.
• To move the current Region, reposition the white cursor, check that the OSD File box
has the correct image, and click Download.

 Audio Modes

F.1 A Brief Introduction to Coding Standards

Where appropriate, the output transport stream can be made compliant with ATSC A53(E)
ATSC Digital Television Standard and DVB 101-154 v1.7.7.

F.1.1 MPEG
The Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) was formed in 1988 to generate compression
techniques for audio and video. In the first version, ISO/IEC 11172-3 MPEG-1 audio, has a
selection of two separate algorithms. MPEG-1 Layer I and II were implementations of the
MUSICAM algorithm and MPEG-1 Layer III (mp3) was an implementation of the ASPEC
algorithm. The algorithms have since been improved and extended with other versions of
MPEG.

MPEG-1 Layer I/II

This algorithm is similar to MUSICAM and only really differs in the structure of the frame
headers. Layer I is a restricted version of the full algorithm to allow a reduced decoder to be
developed. Hence, over time as the processing power of decoders have increased by orders
of magnitude, Layer I is no longer used for broadcast.
The algorithm creates 3 frames of 384 samples. Each small frame is divided into subbands
and these subbands can be coded for each frame or for all 3. There is limited ability to
allocate bits to different bands and there is no entropy coding of the encoded samples so a
relatively high bitrate is required to obtain a reasonable quality.
This is selectable from the Audio A and B menu.

MPEG-2 AAC-LC (Advanced Audio Coding)

Further audio research after the completion of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standard allowed the
development of a significantly improved coding standard that was not compatible to the
previous standards. The target was to achieve good audio quality at 320 kbit/s for a 5.1
channel system. It has a different frame size that more closes represents the frequency
response of the error, more stereo encoding tools and advanced entropy coding of the
encoded samples.
There are 3 profiles or versions available:
• Main (MP): includes all of the tools that improve encoding efficiency.
• Low complexity (LC): some tools are not allowed and others are restricted to enable this
algorithm to fit into the broadcast space.
• Scalable Sample Rate (SSR): maximises temporal resolution (getting the high frequency
sounds at the right time) at the expense of coding efficiency. This is similar to Sony’s
ATRAC.
If licenced, this is selectable from Advanced Audio 4A – 4D menus. The minimum allowable
delay is 100ms.

F.1.2 Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is an algorithm from Dolby that forms part of both the ATSC and DVB standard
for digital broadcasting. It is marketed under the name of Dolby Digital.

Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder Page F-3
ST.RE.E10135.4
Audio Modes

The encoder includes a psychoacoustic model to improve the quality. The signal is divided
into 32 multiple subbands, which correspond to the critical bands of the human ear. The
number of bits is fixed for each subband but there are additional bits that can be allocated to
any subband where encoding quality has suffered. Dolby recommends stereo signals may be
coded at
192 kbit/s, and 5.1 at 448 kbit/s, but other rates can be used if required.
The encoders have the ability to encode stereo and equivalent modes, and will also
pass-through pre-compresses Dolby Digital (both stereo and multichannel). This can be
selected in menus Audio A and B, which includes the choice of pre-encoded or uncompressed
inputs.
Advanced Menus 4A-4D include the option for pass-thru mode with optional glitch
suppression mode. When in this mode, the coding module monitors the encoded bitstream
and if the framing structure is incorrect, a valid silence frame or the last good frame is inserted
in its place. If this state occurs for more than a second, the encoder signals that the Dolby
Digital bitstream is corrupted.

F.2 Audio Coding Modes

F.2.1 Mono
This mode has a single audio channel that is encoded independently. It is seldom used in
broadcast as most viewing devices now have stereo speakers or headphones.

F.2.2 Stereo
This mode treats the incoming audio signal as a left and right channel that the viewer will
listen to simultaneously. Practically, these stereo signals can be uncorrelated where they are
coded separately or related where they combined into a sum and difference channel and each
is coded separately. Another stereo coding tool called Intensity Stereo uses the fact that the
human ear locates high frequency sounds by amplitude rather than phase. So this tool
removes phase differences between the channels at high frequency.

F.2.3 Dual Mono

This was introduced to allow two mono channels to be carried in the same bandwidth as
stereo signal. The main use for this mode is for multilingual transmission where decoder
selects which language to decode on left or right.

F.2.4 Multichannel Sound/5.1

A stereo signal produces a very focused audio field so unless the viewer is sitting in the
correct position, the audio reproduction suffers. More audio channels are required to generate
a larger audio field in which the viewer can listen. The current standard for the multichannel
configuration is 5.1 where:
• 1st audio pair: Left front and right front, coded as a stereo pair and can be used when
there is only stereo speakers.
• 2nd audio pair: Centre channel for speech and low-frequency enhancement (LFE)
channel to be feed to a bass speaker for good low frequency reproduction, these are
coded as mono channels with restricted frequency on the LFE channel.
• AES 2: Left surround, Right Surround.

 Audio Modes

F.3 Audio Coding Modules

The EN5900 High Definition Encoder has two physically separate audio coding modules:
• Advanced audio encoding: this module is controlled through menus called Advanced
Audio 4A – 4D. The functionality is currently restricted to up to four services of Dolby
Digital or Dolby Digital pass-thru but more functions will be included in the future.
• Standard audio encoding: this module includes stereo MPEG-1 Layer II and Dolby Digital
encoding functionality and is controlled using the menus called Audio A and B.

F.3.1 Digital Audio

There are two connections available. ‘Audio In 2’ connects to the Advanced Audio modules,
while ‘Audio In’ is associated with the standard module. Audio in 2 can be used for surround
inputs.
When a digital audio source is used, consideration must be given to the choice of clock source
used by the Encoder. To ensure correct operation the Encoder and the audio may need to be
genlocked to the studio source. Table F.1 and F.2 show the coding methods that may be used
with the digital audio inputs.

F.3.2 Digital Audio on AUDIO IN 2

AUDIO IN 2 connector. This input method is selected as “Digital” in the Advanced Audio
4A - 4D menus. The input format for this input is linear PCM or Dolby Digital bitstreams.
When the digital audio source is used with the AUDIO IN 2 connector, consideration must be
given to the choice of clock source used by the Encoder. To ensure correct operation, both
the Encoder and the audio source may need to be genlocked to the studio source by selecting
the video clock as external. Then the encoding clock is derived from the signal at the H SYNC
input.

F.3.3 Digital Audio on AUDIO IN

The Encoder can receive up to 2 sets of digital audio stereo pairs on the AUDIO IN connector.
This input method is selected as “Digital” in the Audio A and B menus. The input format for
this input can be either per-encoded Dolby Digital bitstreams or linear PCM.
When the digital audio source is used with the AUDIO IN connector, consideration must be
given to the choice of clock source used by the Encoder. To ensure correct operation, both
the Encoder and the audio source may need to be genlocked to the studio source by selecting
the video clock as external. Then the encoding clock is derived from the H SYNC input.

When a digital audio source is used, consideration must be given to the choice of clock source
used by the Encoder. To ensure correct operation the Encoder and the audio may need to be
genlocked. Figure F.1 shows the clock source that is appropriate for a given audio coding

F.4 Detail of Encoder Operation

F.4.1 HD SDI Embedded Audio
The Encoder has the capability of de-embedding up to 4 groups of audio data from 4 different
Data Identifier (DID) in the HD-SDI video input. Each group contains two stereo pairs.
• Up to 4 sets of pre-encoded Dolby Digital bitstreams or linear PCM as controlled as
Advanced Audio 4A – 4D.
The standard DIDs that are used for the extraction are:
• Group 1 = 0x2E7
• Group 2 = 0x1E6
• Group 3 = 0x1E5
• Group 4 = 0x2E4
Other DIDs can be selected and valid values are described in the SMPTE 299 specification.

 Audio Modes

F.4.2 HD SDI Input Selection

There are 8 audio de-embedders in the HD-SDI module. Each can de-embedded one
AES/EBU stream that contains 2 audio streams, left and right or Dolby Digital pre-encoded
stream. The maximum number of audio services that the encoder can handle is dependant on
the coding mode and audio standard required (see Table F.3).

The Encoder can de-embed any four two DID’s at any one time, thus giving a total of eight
embedded audio sources: embedded audio 1-8. The default DIDs are shown in Table F.4: HD
SDI Default DID’s.

NOTE…
Default DIDs are selected when a DID value ≥1024 is set.

F.5 Analogue Audio

On the encoder there are two sets of analogue audio stereo analog-to-digital converters
available that are fed directly into the standard encoding module. The converters have been
fixed to operate at a sampling rate of 48 kHz but the encoding level can be set from the audio
input menu. These converters are high quality and are calibrated in terms of incoming voltage
to number as part of the production process.
Figure F.3 shows the coding methods that may be used with the analogue audio input.

F.5.1 Input Impedance

The analog input can have an input impedance of either:
• 600 Ω to minimise the noise figure associated with the energy transfer from the source to
the encoder but it does require the source to be able to generate significant amounts of
current. The operator should only select this when connecting to professional equipment.
• 20 kΩ to minimise the amount of current that the audio source needs to generate at the
expense of increased noise in the digitisation process. The operator should select this
when it is not clear that the source can source sufficient current or that the source is a
consumer device such as a DVD player.

ST.RE.E10135.4
 Audio Modes

F.5.2 Clip Levels

When analogue audio is selected then it is possible to set a clip level between 12 and 24 dB
inclusive, which is used in the A/D conversion. It refers to the maximum audio level that is
expected on the input, and if the detected level goes above this, then the audio clip alarm will
be raised.
The values below give an indication of how this clip level relates to voltages
(dBu is referenced to 0.775 V).
12dBu = 3.08 Vrms = 4.36 Vpeak
18dBu = 6.16 Vrms = 8.71V peak
24dBu = 12.28 Vrms = 17.37 Vpeak

NOTES…
1. The analogue input is balanced, so, connecting an unbalanced output causes the level to drop by
6dB.
2. If impedance is incorrectly set this could lead to an unexpected audio level.

 Annex G
G. Accuracy of Frequency Sources
This equipment is based around ISO/IEC 13818 specifications (commonly known as MPEG-2)
and within these specifications all timing is derived from a 27 MHz system clock. The system
clock is required to have an accuracy of better than ±30 ppm.
An oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) within this equipment achieves the ±30 ppm
accuracy within five minutes of applying power. This accuracy is maintained over the specified
operating temperature range for the life of the product without further adjustment.
Composite television systems such as PAL and NTSC have traditionally used high precision
oscillators for colour subcarrier. Many different specifications are in common use and a
required accuracy in the range ±0.2 ppm to ±2 ppm is common. Typically an entire TV studio
runs from a central frequency standard, with all equipment being fed with a Black and Burst
reference signal.
Generally, individual items of equipment are not capable of the required accuracy in the
absence of this reference. Where a suitable reference is not available (e.g. outside broadcast
or intercontinental programme exchange) the specifications allow a relaxed accuracy.
When this equipment is used to source a timing reference which is used to generate a
composite video output (for instance the PAL or NTSC output of a TANDBERG Television
Receiver/Decoder) the accuracy of the resultant subcarrier is directly traceable to the 27 MHz
system clock in this equipment.
To ensure continuing accuracy, the system clock in this equipment can be locked to an
appropriate frequency reference by feeding a Black and Burst signal to the H SYNC input.
Alternatively, the system clock can be locked to the video input. In either case, the system
clock is frequency-locked to the source sync pulses, and hence the composite video
subcarrier is as accurate as the frequency reference.
Where an accurate reference signal is not available, the OCXO in this equipment must be
used. The OCXO is adjusted to better than ±0.2 ppm during manufacture, but due to natural
ageing of the OCXO, regular calibration is required to keep the OXCO within ±0.2 ppm if
composite video accuracy is to be maintained. Calibration intervals depend on the
requirements of the particular composite video specification in force. Please contact
TANDBERG Television Customer Services for advice.

H.1 Remux Card In ATSC With Internal PSIP

The Encoder automatically remuxes ATSC streams arriving at its inputs, as in DVB. The
Encoder uses the PAT (Program Association Table) and PMT (Program Map Table) to work
out all the associated PIDs (Packet Identifier), and attempt to extract the short name, the long
name, and the Service Type from the VCT (Virtual Channel Table).

NOTE…
If more than one program is present on any input the Encoder may be unable to extract any
information from the VCT on that input.

The Encoder then maps the PIDs using the program paradigm based upon the program
number. If possible, the program number of the input is preserved. In Intelligent mode the
Encoder automatically remaps the program number/PIDs if a clash occurs. If an active
program is overwritten by another, the program number/PIDs of the first program are changed
to non-clashing values. In Dumb mode the Encoder requires a user to remap clashing
program numbers/PIDs to prevent overwriting an active program.
The Encoder generates all PSIP (Program System Information Protocol) tables for the output
stream. It generates a minimum set of tables containing a minimum amount of data. The
tables constructed are the:
• MGT (Master Guide Table)
• CVCT (Cable Virtual Channel Table) or
• TVCT (Terrestrial Virtual Channel Table)
• STT (System Time Table)
• RRT (Rating Region Table)
• EIT (Event Information Table) 0, 1, 2, and 3
• PAT
• CAT (Conditional Access Table)
• PMT
The program paradigm is applied to any input program which has a program number of less
than 256. If the program number is greater than 255 any PID may be used for each stream. If
a non-ATSC service is detected then that may also be passed through the Remux card as an
ATSC program. The program paradigm will be applied to such a service if possible and if the
program number is less than 256.

H.2 Remux Card In ATSC With External PSIP

The Encoder only provides a minimum amount of information within the PSIP tables. If more
sophisticated tables are required then the PSIP may be fed in externally using an ASI input on
the Remux card. The user is able to specify a PID range via a minimum and maximum PID.
The user then selects a port to use and chooses a Service Info level of ‘On (Ext. PSIP)’. All
PIDS between the maximum and minimum are then mapped directly to the output.
In this configuration the Encoder generates the PAT, CAT and PMT for all programs but it is
the responsibility of the user to provide all the PSIP for the associated programs. Any
programs present on the same input as the external PSIP are not detected and are not
referenced in the PAT.
This mode may be also be used for passing data through the Remux card.

ST.RE.E10135.4
Use of Remux Card in ASTC

NOTE…
It can take a long time to map a range of PIDs using the Remux card, and for usability the range
should be kept to a minimum. For instance, it takes approximately 80 seconds to map 4000 PIDs.

If the External PSIP input port is changed, the Encoder may fail to correctly map the PIDs on
the new port. This can be resolved by rebooting the Encoder.

 Setting of the Remux Card for Data/PSIP and DVB-Subtitles Input

J.1 Setting the Remux Card Inputs

All the required settings are applied from a single menu, the Service Info sub-menu on the
System menu.
Each input mode of one Remux card is selected independently using: Remux input # in
mode (where the character: “#” is a placeholder for the numbers: 1, 2 and 3).

NOTES…
1. The transition between “SERVICE” and data modes (namely: “DATA”, “PSIP”, “Off” and “DVB-
Subtitles”) requires that the Encoder’s PID-mapping features are fully operational. The same is
required by a change of: SI Level. In such circumstances, the value of: PID Remap (under the
Remux module sub-menu on the Mux menu) cannot be: “Lock PID Mapping”
2. It is not possible to set all remux inputs to “Off”. This setting is reserved for the special “SCPC”
mode available in Voyager units.

J.2 The DVB-Subtitles Input Mode

J.2.1 Overview
The DVB-Subtitles input mode allows adding a maximum of four DVB-Subtitles elementary
streams to the Encoder host service.
Each DVB-Subtitles elementary stream will be linked to one stream-identifier descriptor and
one subtitling-descriptor in the PMT table of the Encoder host service.
Also one component-descriptor will be added in the EIT table for each DVB-Subtitles
elementary stream.
The content of the descriptors must be manually specified.

CAUTION…
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the DVB-Subtitles elementary streams match the content of
the descriptors.

Table J.1: DVB-Subtitles Descriptors

Input: Description:
DVB-Subt. PID # The PID value for the elementary stream.
Subt.Lang.# The ISO 639-2 three-characte r language code for the elementary stream.
Type # The subtitling type for the elementary stream.
DVB-Subt. Tag # The DVB component tag for the elementary stream.
Comp. page ID # The composition page ID for the elementary stream.

NOTES…
1. The “DVB-subtitles” input mode will be available only when the syntax is: DVB.
2. Only one Remux card input can be in “DVB-Subtitles” mode at any time.
3. The “DVB-Subtitles” elementary streams will be output only if every configured PID value differs
from 0. The set of the allowed PID values includes 0 and the range of values from 32 to 8190.
4. The “stream identifier descriptor” will be generated only if the value of: “DVB-Subt. Tag #” differs
from 0.

Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder Page J-3
ST.RE.E10135.4
Setting of the Remux Card for Data/PSIP and DVB-Subtitles Input

By default, the Ancillary page ID for each DVB-Subtitles elementary stream equals the value
of the Composition page ID.

J.2.2 The Setting Sequence

1. Identifiy the Remux card input which will supply the DVB-Subtitles elementary streams
2. For the selected input, change Remux input # in mode to Off.
3. Configure the value of DVB-Subtitles (up to four streams are possible).
4. Configure the descriptors for all the selected DVB-Subtitles elementary streams.
5. Finally, change Remux input # in mode to DVB subt.

J.3 The DATA Input Mode

J.3.1 Overview
The DATA input mode allows the mapping a set of elementary streams directly to the output of
the Remux card.
The set of elementary streams is defined, for each Remux card input, by a range of PID
values.

NOTES
1. The “DATA” input mode will be available when the syntax is: DVB and ATSC.
2. Any Remux card input can be in DATA mode at any time.
3. The set of the allowed PID values ranges from 0 to 8190.
4. The Encoder will not reference any data streams in its internally generated PSI. If this is required,
switch internal PSI off by setting SI Level to Off

CAUTION…
It is the user’s responsibility to supply PSI on a Remux input.

ST.RE.E10135.4
 Setting of the Remux Card for Data/PSIP and DVB-Subtitles Input

J.3.2 The Setting Sequence

1. Identify the Remux card input that will be used to supply the DATA elementary streams.
2. For the selected input, change: Remux input # in mode to Off.
3. Configure the values of DATA # Min PID and DATA # Max PID to include the set of the
supplied elementary streams.
4. Finally, change Remux input # in mode to Data.

J.4 The PSIP Input Mode

J.4.1 Overview
The PSIP mode can be used to source PSIP and PSI tables from an external generator via a
remux input, rather than the Encoder itself generating these tables. If this generator also
produces other elementary streams, these too can, optionally, be passed through the
Encoder.
The relevant menu entries in the Service info menu are:
• Remux input <X> in mode: the particular remux input chosen to source the stream must
be set to PSIP.
• SI Level: This defines which PSIP and PSI tables are sourced from the Remux input and
which are generated internally by the Encoder, as shown in Table J.2.

Table J.2: Sourcing the PSIP/PSI Tables

SI Level value: Input source for the PSIP tables Input source for the PSI tables
(MGT, STT, TVCT, CVCT) (PAT, CAT, PMT)
On (PSIP). Encoder motherboard Encoder motherboard
On (Ext.PSIP) PSIP input Encoder motherboard
Off (Ext.PSIP/PSI) PSIP input PSIP input

• PSIP Min PID/PSIP Max PID: These two entries define what additional elementary
streams are passed through. Any streams with PIDS falling within this range are passed
through.

NOTE…
When sourcing PSI from the PSIP input this range must include the PMT and EIT PIDs.

• PSIP PID Status: This shows the PIDs which are actually passed through and would
normally correspond to the min/max range set, once the SI Level has been set to one of
the ext.PSIP modes.

NOTES:
1. The “PSIP” input mode will be available only when the syntax is: ATSC.
2. Only one Remux card input can be in “PSIP” mode at any time.
3. The set of the allowed PID values ranges from 2 to 8190.
4. The mapping of the PSI/PSIP elementary streams does not take place until “SI Level” is
configured.

ST.RE.E10135.4
Setting of the Remux Card for Data/PSIP and DVB-Subtitles Input

J.4.2 The Setting Sequence

1. Identify which Remux card input will supply the PSIP elementary streams.
2. For the selected input, change Remux input # in mode to Off.
3. Change the value of SI Level to Off.
4. Configure the values of PSIP Min PID and PSIP Max PID to include all the externally
supplied PMT, EIT tables and elementary streams.
5. Change the value of Remux input # in mode to PSIP.
6. Finally, change the value of SI Level to On (Ext.PSIP) or Off (Ext.PSIP/PSI) according to
Table J.2.

J.4.3 The Setting Sequence when an Encoder is Upgraded from an

Earlier Build Version
If the Encoder was running a version prior to V3.8.0 and was already set-up to source PSIP
via the Remux card, it is necessary to make some minor adjustments once the software
upgrade is complete.
The entry Ext. PSIP Source has been substituted by the three entries Remux input # in
mode. All that is required is to set the appropriate input in the menu.

NOTE…
If the Encoder is not behaving as expected, a complete re-setup can be done by following the
sequence in Para J.4.1.

ST.RE.E10135.4
 Setting of the Remux Card for Data/PSIP and DVB-Subtitles Input

J.5 Examples of Complex Setups

J.5.1 Example 1 - Everything on One ASI Input
In this example, an external generator provides both PSIP, PSI tables and other data on other
elementary streams on one ASI input.

NOTE…
This was already possible on Encoder builds prior to 3.8.0. where the SI level setting
Off (Ext.PSIP/PSI) was available.

Assume the PID map shown in Table J.3.

Table J.3: Example 1 - Everything on One ASI Stream

PSI data PMT PID = 0x20 (program number 2 is being used) The Encoder’s SI is switched off to
allow external PSI insertion.
Video PID = 0x21
Audio 1 PID = 0x24
Audio 2 PID = 0x25
PSIP EIT, ETT, MGT, VCT follow the ATSC standard.
Other data PID range from 500 to 1300, typically only 5 active
PIDs at a time but the PID values change regularly.

In this case, the setting sequence is as follows:

1. The host service is configured in order to match the requested PID values for: PCR,
Video, Audio-1 and Audio-2.
2. Assuming that the Remux card input number 1 is the only active input, set Remux input
# in mode to PSIP and the other two input modes to Off.
3. Set the SI Level to Off.
4. Set the value of PSIP Min PID to 32 and the value of PSIP Max PID to 8147.
(The data PID range is from 500 to 1300 and the PMT pid value and the default EIT
range is from 8144 to 8147.)
5. Set the SI Level to Off (Ext.PSIP/PSI).

J.5.2 Example 2 – PSIP and data on different inputs

This example can be considered an evolution of the previous one in para J.5.1.
The Remux card input number 1 is used for PSI/PSIP data, number 2 and 3 are both used for
other data.

NOTE…
This was not possible on Encoder builds prior to 3.8.0.

Assume the following PID map:

Reference Guide: evolution 5000 E5780 and E5782 Encoder Page J-7
ST.RE.E10135.4
Setting of the Remux Card for Data/PSIP and DVB-Subtitles Input

Table J.4: Example 2 - PSI on one ASI Input, Data on Other Inputs

Port 1 PSI data PMT PID = 0x10 (program number 2 is being used) The Encoder’s SI is switched off to
allow external PSI insertion.
Video PID = 0x11
Audio 1 PID = 0x14
Audio 2 PID = 0x15
PSIP EIT, ETT, MGT, VCT follow the ATSC standard
Port 2 ACAP data PID range from 8000 to 8100, typical use of 5 active
PIDs at a time. The PID values change regularly.
Port 3 Net data PID range 6656-6911 and bandwidth is 200 k –
500 kbit/.

In this case, the setting sequence is:

1. Configure the host service to match the requested PID values for: PCR, Video, Audio-1
and Audio-2.
2. Set the SI Level to Off.
3. Set the value of DATA 2 Min PID to 8000 and the value of DATA 2 Max PID to 8100.
(The ACAP-data PID range is from 8000 to 8100.)
4. Set the value of DATA 3 Min PID is set to 6656 and the value of DATA 3 Max PID is set
to 6911.
(The Net-data PID range is from 6656 to 6911.)
5. The value of PSIP Min PID is set to 16 while the value of PSIP Max PID is set to 8147. It
is assumed that ETT, MGT, VCT are on the PID number 8187.
6. Set the entry Remux input 1 in mode to PSIP.
7. Set the entry Remux input 2 in mode to DATA.
8. Set the entry Remux input 3 in mode to DATA.
9. Set the SI Level to Off (Ext.PSIP/PSI).

CAUTION…
In this example, the pid values of port-1 and port-2 are partially overlapped.
Care must take to avoid any conflict.

 ProMPEG FEC Support for IP Streaming in E57xx Encoders

K.1 Introduction
With the V3.8.1 software release of the E57xx encoder, IP streaming corresponding to the
ProMPEG FEC protocol is possible.
This Annex provides supplementary information on setting up ProMPEG FEC only.

NOTES
The current IP streamer option card is NOT capable of being upgraded to support ProMPEG FEC. A
new card must be installed (M2/EOM2/IP/PROFEC).
Only one IP streamer card may be installed in an E57xx encoder.

K.2 ProMPEG FEC

K.2.1 Introduction
The ProMPEG Forward Error Correction(FEC) scheme is designed to recover lost or
corrupted packets caused when transferring MPEG-2 transport streams, or newer MPEG
standards encapsulated as an MPEG-2 transport streams, over an IP network.
The ProMPEG FEC scheme has been implement to the ProMPEG Code of Practice #3
release 2.
FEC packets are generated for every column and optionally for every row. To generate the
FEC packets, RTP frames based on their Sequence Numbers are arranged in a rectangle of
dimensions D * L. The Payload of the FEC packet generated is the ExOR of the row/column it
protects.

ProMPEG FEC Support for IP Streaming in E57xx Encoders

K.2.2 Configuring ProMPEG FEC

Protocol/ProMPEG FEC Option
When ProMPEG FEC is enabled this setting allows the IP output of the E57xx to be
configured to work in FEC Column only mode or FEC Row and Column mode.
When either of these settings is selected the MPEG transport stream is set to operate in RTP
mode.
If FEC Column only mode is selected a FEC stream is sent out on the same IP address as the
MPEG transport stream but with the UDP destination port set to + 2 from the MPEG transport
stream.
If FEC Row and Column mode is selected two FEC streams are sent out on the same IP
address as the MPEG transport stream but with the Column FEC stream’s UDP destination
port number set to + 2 and the Row FEC stream’s UDP destination port number set to + 4
from the MPEG transport stream.

Nbr of Columns (L) Option

This setting configures the number of Columns in the matrix, and determines the number of
MPEG packets used when calculating the Row FEC packets.

Nbr of Rows (D) Option

This setting configures the number of Rows in the matrix, and determines the number of
MPEG packets used when calculating the Column FEC packets.

K.2.3 ProMPEG FEC Constraints

Matrix Limitations in Columns only mode:
L * D ≤ 100
1 ≤ L ≤ 20
4 ≤ D ≤ 20
Matrix Limitations in Rows and Columns mode:
L * D ≤ 100
4 ≤ L ≤ 20
4 ≤ D ≤ 20
Column only Overheads:
Overhead = L + (D * L) = 1 + 1
(D * L) D

Worst case is 4 rows = (1/4) + 1 = 25%

Best case is 20 rows = (1/20) + 1 = 5%
Row and Column Overheads:
Overhead = D + L + (D * L)
(D * L)

Worst case is 4x4 = (4+4+16) / 16 = 50%

Best case is 10x10 = (10+10+100) / 100 = 5%

K.2.4 Recommendations for use of ProMPEG FEC

Overview
There are no official recommendations within the ProMPEG Code of Practice #3 release 2
regarding which parameters give the best results.
The first decision to be made is which Encapsulation mode to use, as this has a large effect
on the added overhead. Column only or Row and Column mode, this decision will be
determined by the packet loss characteristics of the network and the importance of data
integrity over the network. This information will be different for every network and service
provider, therefore TANDBERG Television cannot offer recommendations in this reference
guide.
The following information has been added to help demonstrate the difference in data
protection provided by each FEC scheme.

Column-Only Mode Performance

For every 10 fold improvement in Channel Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) there is approximately a
100 fold improvement in the outgoing PLR.

Row and Column Mode Performance

For every 10 fold improvement in Channel PLR there is approximately a 1000 fold
improvement in the outgoing PLR.

Size of the Matrix

The final decision to be made is the size of matrix to be used. Simply by adding a Column only
FEC scheme, irrespective of dimension reduces the Mean Time To Failure (MTBF) massively.
The difference in coding gain between a small matrix and a big matrix is small compared to
the massive gain of actually adding a FEC scheme. A large matrix would therefore probably
be preferred for most service providers as the IP packet overhead is lower. However using a
large matrix means that the latency to decode the transport stream is increased. Using a small
matrix will reduce the latency of the system but will obviously significantly increase the
overhead.
