The
QAM-B
input module can receive up to four individual
QAM-B
input streams. To configure the module:
•
Switch to the
Inputs
node in the
Navigation
Pane
•
Select the
QAM-B
module you want to configure to display the module configuration .Services available on all
four
QAM-B
input ports will be listed in this view.
The QAM-B input window shows all configurable settings as well as the current bitrate and service information.
The following parameters are available:
Enable
Enable the corresponding input port
Input
Port on the ASI input module
Services
Number of services available on this port
Mode
Analysis mode of input port
Rate [Mbit/s]
Incoming data rate
Freq[MHz]
Specify the currently tuned frequency in MHz, valid range is 47
–
861MHz.
Modulation
Modulation of the carrier
CC Err
Continuity Counter Error
–
indicates that one or more packets are lost
To monitor any of the demodulated QAM-B input signals, one of the QAM-B input ports can be assigned to the
output ASI monitor interface. The demodulated QAM-B input signal will then be copied onto the monitor port for
further analyzing or monitoring of the transport stream. Normal operation will not be affected if the monitoring
port is used.
The above list of parameters can be configured by clicking on the pencil
icon to the right of each input.
When clicking on an input port, the status parameters for this port are available in the right hand status bar.
Depending on the version of the module, various parameters are displayed.
