DSR-6402 Installation Guide

(Phase 1)

This document is provided as a quick reference for installation, signal acquisition, and authorization of DSR-

6402 Satellite Multiplex Receiver/Transcoders for use by Discovery Communications. For complete information

on conﬁguration and operation, please refer to the Motorola DSR-6400 Series Satellite Multiplex Receiver/

Transcoder Operator Guide.

The DSR-6402 must be properly grounded, and the shield of the coaxial cable is earthed in accordance with

Article 820.93 of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70:2005 or equivalent.

Installation Overview

This procedures in this guide assume that the DSR-6402 has been properly mounted in a suitable equipment

rack with access to electrical power and the required input and output signal connections. The installation

sequence described here consists of connecting the input and output cabling and using the front-panel

interface to perform initial conﬁguration for acquisition and tuning of the received signals.

Connecting the DSR-6402

The following paragraphs describe the rear-panel connections to be made to the DSR-6402 to enable the

Discovery services.

Input Connection

RF IN Port 1: Galaxy 13 C-Band at 127 West Longitude, Transponder 14 (Horizontal).

Note: There is no LNB voltage output from ports 2 through 8; if using one of these ports, and if

LNB power is needed, it can be activated for Port 1, and Port 1 can then be added to a one-port

power-passing splitter to power one LNB.

RF IN Port 2: AMC-10 C-Band at 135 West Longitude, (Horizontal).

RF IN Port 3: AMC-10 C-Band at 135 West Longitude, (Vertical).

RF IN Port 4: AMC-11 C-Band at 131 West Longitude, (Horizontal).

Output Connections

The following output ports are available at the DSR-6402 rear panel:

GIGE: If Gig-E functionality is used, it must be enabled via the TS option from the front panel

IP menu. Depending on the conﬁguration of the TS option (Off, Transcoded, Passthru,

or Transcoded+Passthru) the GIGE port may carry one or more transport streams. When

Passthru is selected, a copy of the ASI OUT 1 transport stream is routed to the GigE port.

When Transcoded is selected, a copy of the ASI OUT 2 transport stream is routed to the

GigE port. When Transcoded+Passthru is selected, a copy of both ASI OUT 1 and ASI OUT

2 are routed to the GigE port.

ASI OUT 1: The ASI OUT 1 is the “Passthru” port. This port delivers MPEG4 video without transcoding

or other processing.

ASI OUT 2: The ASI OUT 2 is the “Transcoded” port. This port delivers MPEG2 compressed video.

The transcoded output can carry HD, SD, or a combination of the two. For the Discovery

services, only the HD stream is used.

VIDEO OUT: Primarily used for analog SD-only output; also used with analog audio terminals.

OSD VIDEO OUT: Conﬁdence Video monitor (plus Fast Facts and Diagnostic video overlays of live video). This

SD output is not intended for live use, and has no closed-caption support.

Installation/Initial Conﬁguration

With power applied to the DSR-6402, the splash screen with the device name and version number will brieﬂy

appear, followed by the main menu as shown. DSR-6402 menu items that are selectable and/or conﬁgurable

are identiﬁed by the right-pointing arrow adjacent to the item. Items without the arrow are read-only.

In Case of Code Download

The DSR-6400 Series support background code download over satellite. If a newer version of ﬁrmware

becomes available, the unit automatically begins downloading and storing the new code at signal lock.Should

this occur, the front-panel Download LED will blink during download and turn solid green when the download

completes. When download is complete your unit will automatically reboot and load the new code on restart.

Gig-E Port Enable

If you intend to use the Gig-E output port, it must ﬁrst be enabled via the front-panel IP menu. If you do not

use the Gig-E output port, then skip this section and got to Manual Tune Setup, below.

1. Use the front-panel left  and right  navigation keys to select the IP option, then press Enter.

2. You can then use the up  and down  navigation keys to scroll to the Port GigE –> TS Mode display.

3. Press  and  to select TS Mode, then press Enter.

4. Use the  and  keys to scroll to the desired

Transport Stream Mode (Off, Transcoded, Passthru, or

Transcoded+Passthru), then press Enter.

5. Press  to move the cursor to the home position for this menu, then press Enter. The Main Menu

displays.

Note that full conﬁguration of the Gig-E port requires provision of an IP address, subnet mask, and

gateway address, available from your System Administrator. For more information, see the DSR-6400

Series Operator Guide.

PID Mapping

The DSR-6402 uses a PID mapping scheme for the output services on the ASI OUT 1, ASI OUT 2, and

GIGE output ports. The following two tables show the supported services and each of the individual

service components for the DSR-6402, and their assigned PID values on each MPEG program. For

multiple instances of the same component type, the unit increments the PID value by one.

Recommended

antenna diameter,

in meters, for reliable

reception of Discovery

services on Galaxy 13

(continental US)

In addition to an appropriate antenna diameter, we strongly recommend that PLL LNBs be installed for Galaxy

13. The PLL LNBs have a local oscillator stability of +/- 125 kHz or less. Less stable

(higher +/- kHz value) DRO LNBs that work for QPSK modulation (typically 26-

48 Mbps) may not produce satisfactory results with 8PSK DVB S2 modulation.

These less stable LNBs may even have labels that identify them as “digital” or

“digital ready” LNBs, but such labels are products of an earlier time, when 8PSK

DVB S2 modulation (and its higher data rates) did not exist. If signal acquisition is

problematic or marginal, then we recommend an upgrade to PLL LNBs.

Provided the DSR-6402 is properly grounded and the shield of the coaxial cable

is earthed in accordance with Article 820.93 of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70:2005 or equivalent, the output of the

PLL LNB can be connected to any of the eight RF inputs as seen in the rear connector panel diagram, below.

For the Discovery services, however, connect as described on page 1..

Note: LNB power can be activated for Port 1,

and Port 1 can be added to a one-port power-

passing splitter to power one LNB.

Antenna Considerations

Due to the complexity of 8PSK DVB S2 modulation and a satellite symbol rate of 30 MSps, the choice of an

antenna size for your location can be important. As shown in the diagram below, a 4.5 meter diameter antenna

is recommended to reliably receive the Discovery services over a signiﬁcant portion of the continental United

States.
