Operating instructions
The name of the CAM in the slot is shown at the top. If there is no name or it is not correctly initialized the message “No Module” appears.
The ASSOCIATE TO field enables associating the selected CAM slot to the required input: if the INPUT 1 / INPUT 2 / INPUT 3 / INPUT 4 is selected,
the list of received programs will be displayed: if the CAM slot is associated to the FLEX mode, the list of all programs coming from the 4 input will
be displayed. For each of the received programs, the icon in the “free to air” column shows whether the program is free to air or encrypted; by
flagging the “decrypt” column box the program can be enabled for decryption.
The CAM advanced functions can be selected by clicking the relevant keys, as follows:
• RESET CAM: to reset the CAM module in the slot;
• COMMON MENU INTERFACE: to access the common interface menu (only enabled if the CAM supports the menu) (see fig. 6);
• SHOW CAM MESSAGES: shows the CAM messages (only enabled if there are pending messages);
• ADVANCED SETTINGS: change the advanced settings in the CAM module (see fig. 7)

The figure 6 shows the window which opens clicking the “COMMON INTERFACE MENU” key. Information is given about the CAM module, the
Smart Card and the last release of the CAM software can be downloaded if it is available.
The figure 7 shows the window which opens clicking the “ADVANCED SETTINGS” key: this page enables changing the advanced CAM module
functions. The items, CAPMT Management and CAPMT Sending, enable changing the decrypt management for the CAM, choosing from the
options in the dropdown menu. If the third item CAPMT Resize is flagged, the CAM is set to decrypt just the audio and video of a program (in
this case, the number of decrypted programs could be higher). If it is not flagged everything is decrypted: audio, video, ttx, subtitles, MHP, etc.
The item “CAPMT Resend Attempts” sets the number of decrypting attempt of a program that the CAM will perform before starting again; by
default the value is 3. The items “TS Framing” and “TS Clock” specify if sending transport streams with a CAM with packages of 188 or 204 bytes
as well as which bitrate should be used. Modify only after checking the CAM technical specifications; incorrect setting can compromise the unit
operation. The default parameters are normally suitable for the most of the CAMS on the market.
The “Time reference” section synchronizes the CAM with the information contained in the input programs. If the CAM is set in AUTO, it will
automatically search the various INPUTS. Click APPLY and then OK to save changes.
