[. . . ] DQT1000 Digital to QAM Transcoder MQM1000 Multiplexing QAM Modulator Instruction Manual TM is a trademark of R. L. Drake LLC P/N: 3852395C-09-2007 Printed in U. S. A. 2 Caution Statements WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn. The lightning flash with arrow head symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] If PRESET is selected, the most commonly used rates are set and can be viewed in the screen following this screen after exiting the `adjust' mode. If MANUAL is selected, use the right arrow to go on to the continuation of this screen and then use the up and down arrows to set the desired symbol rate. MULTIPLEX: This setting determines whether the DEMOD A input is to be multiplexed with a second input (if installed). Select DEMOD B to activate the B channel demodulator and to turn on the multiplex function. Select ASI if the second input is present at the ASI input connector and it is desired to multiplex this ASI input stream with the stream from DEMOD A. If the DQT1000 is being used as a processor of only one input at DEMOD A, select DISABLED. If DISABLED is selected, the next menu will be the QAM MODE menu, you may skip to that paragraph, below. MPEG PROGRAMS: This menu provides selections to determine which programs are multiplexed to form the new multiprogram transport stream output that will be supplied to the QAM modulator section. Choose the SELECT ALL PROGS setting to multiplex all programs from inputs A and B. It is the operator's responsibility to be sure that the total data rate of these programs does not exceed the maximum data rate for the output QAM mode that will be used. If the total input rate is too large, some programs will have to be dropped from the multiplex. Choose the SELECT PROGRAMS setting to allow the operator to pick which programs from the A and B inputs are to be included in the output multiplex. NOTE: At this point you may proceed through the remaining menus, below, before pressing the ENTER button to load the selected data OR you may press ENTER now and then come back to the rest of the menus. In any case, when the ENTER button is pressed, one of the following two actions will occur: A) If SELECT ALL PROGS has been selected, the DQT1000 will now read PAT tables from the two input streams and Gray Encoding: QAM Sym Rate: DQT, MQM QAM Sym Rate: DQT, MQM Interleaver: I128, J1 (Only if ITU-B selected. . .

The offset is not included in the MPEG program number display being discussed above but the offset will be added to all MPEG program numbers from the B input when they are added to the output multiplex. DEMOD B CHANMAP, DEMOD B CHANNEL, DEMOD B MODE, DEMOD B SYMRATE: See descriptions for DEMOD A above. These are equivalent settings for the DEMOD B demodulator input, when installed. INPUT B OFFSET: When the DEMOD B or ASI input has been installed and selected in the MULTIPLEX menu, this menu will be present. Because the two incoming transport streams are likely to have overlapping use of MPEG program numbers, the DQT861 or MQM861 will pass the program numbers from input A unchanged and an offset, equal to the value chosen in this menu, will be added to the program number of programs from the second input. This same offset value will also be added to the minor channel number in the VCT table for programs from the second input source. Usually an offset of 10 will be adequate but if you know there are programs in the signal input to input A using program numbers above 10, a higher offset may be required. [. . . ] The unit must be sent to the following address: Service Department R. L. Be sure to include your street address which will be needed for UPS return. UPS Surface (Brown Label) takes 7-10 days to reach us depending on your location, Blue takes 2-3 days. Red is an overnight service. Send the unit in a way that it can be traced if we can't verify receipt of shipment. [. . . ]
