PIVD100R Product Description
The LG CodePlus™ PIVD100R Pro:Idiom
®
Video Distribution Transcoder System provides a
flexible 8- to 16-program HDTV solution for system providers who provide satellite delivered
content to commercial facilities (hotels, hospitals, etc.). The PIVD100R incorporates eight
100BaseTX Ethernet interface X-Ports that connect up to eight satellite set-top boxes (STBs)
from either DIRECTV
®
or DISH Network
®
satellite service.
Features
• Two output options: RF or IP (concurrent operation not supported)
− RF output: The PIVD100R generates four contiguous 256-QAM cable channels, with
up to two DIRECTV or three DISH Network program streams multiplexed on each
channel. This capability provides up to 8 HD programs of DIRECTV content or up to
12 HD programs of DISH Network content.
− IP output: The PIVD100R provides up to 8 HD programs of DIRECTV content or up
to 16 HD programs of DISH Network content.

• Transcoded output supports Closed Captions and V-Chip (Parental Control)
(if included in the signal source)
• Remote management capability over Ethernet via either graphical user interface (GUI) or
command line interface
• Unit does not require local monitor, keyboard, or mouse connection
• Small, lightweight chassis
• 19-inch rack-mountable
• 1U height profile to minimize rack space usage
The PIVD100R converts satellite MPEG-4 HD programming to an encrypted, encoded
transport stream. A Pro:Idiom-compatible television is required to view premium HD content,
and a proper session ID must be set at the TV in order for Pro:Idiom decryption to be enabled.
LG’s Pay-Per-View (PPV) partners can set up this session through their interface. LG’s Free-
To-Guest (FTG) Mode of operation also enables Pro:Idiom decryption.
Multiple PIVD100R units may be combined in the head end to deliver an entire channel
lineup of HD programming.
