Configuring Decoders 

Information about the various Decoder modules available can be found in 3.4.4 and 
3.4.5. As of end Q4 2008 all RF Decoders shipped will be the High Performance Dual 

Decoder with RF modulation described in 3.4.5.3, referred as HP RF Decoder in this 
section.  

The decoder modules are configured using the “Decoders” tab in the navigation pane. 
All available decoder modules will be listed by their slot position. The two channels for 

each decoder module are identified with ‘Channel A’ and ‘Channel B’. 

4.5.1

 

Channel Configuration 

The chassis can be configured with multiple dual decoder modules. Please follow the 
procedure below to configure the module. 

Open the “Decoders” folder in the navigation pane and the window in Figure 43 will be 
displayed

The 

Decoders

 window displays the following information:

Slot position in the chassis

 

Output 

Shows either channel A or B

 

Service Name 

Assigning a service to the output. The service list is automatically 

generated from the input modules. For an MPTS input stream, all 
available services will be listed. If Service Definition Table (SDT) 
tables are available in input streams, the service list will consist of 

service names together with the Service ID (SID) and a local input 
ID. Whenever the SDT table is not present, the services will be listed 

as service 1, service 2, etc. 

RF Ch

RF Enable 

Shows if the channel is enabled or not. If not enabled the RF carrier 

is turned off.

Detailed configuration of the output

 

Assign a service to an output by selecting it from the drop down list in the service 
name column. Figure 43 shows a possible configuration scenario where Hallmark and 
VH1 has been assigned to Decoder outputs A and B. In the service name field, 

additional information about the corresponding input module can be found just after
