12 S2X Output Application
To launch a S2X output application, locate the
“S2X Output (Slot Number)”
application in the “Output” row on the
desktop and click the icon.
The start page of the output application lists the defined outputs.
Enabled
The enable checkbox lets the operator easily disable an output. The stream is still
defined in the system, but the data stream is stopped and the RF output is muted.
Modulator
The physical RF port where the stream is being transmitted.
Label
The label can be added during definition, and changed directly from the list view.
Alarms
Each output will get a red balloon in this column if an alarm is raised that affects this
output.
Frequency
Carrier frequency of the RF signal.
Symbol
Rate
Symbol rate of the modulated signal.
Source
The internal source of each service in the output mux.
Content
This column will display the service id + name (if available) for MPEG/DVB content.
Red Circle
Action button to remove streams from the output.
The configuration process starts by creating three types of templates that can be used many times over to configure
modulators quickly. The three templates include:
1. Port profiles define RF parameters and modulator settings to make it possible to define settings for say Hotbird
transponder 1. A second template can be built to define Hotbird transponder 2 etc. The port profiles make it easy
to predefine parameter sets, minimising the chance of human error and greatly increasing the speed of set-up.
2. Pre-correction parameter settings for amplitude linearity and group delay. These settings are normally
transponder specific and mainly defined by the satellite specific IMUX / OMUX filters.
3. Carrier ID profiles can be used to predefine operator information and apply the same parameter set to both RF
outputs.
