A typical HD Transcoder System with MUX/MOD functionality includes: An MUX/MOD feature card. One CodePlus HD transcoder card (Example: ) for each HD program offered in the facility s MATV system up to eight programs supported. A CodePlus series card frame (Example: HCS6150R) specifi ed for both the and the transcoder card(s). DIRECTV service. * A DIRECTV COM 23 satellite STB for each transcoder card. * A 19-inch rack for mounting. * Miscellaneous cables and installation hardware. * The integrated elements of the Transcoder System: Receive up to eight HD programs from DIRECTV. Transcode the received digital video and audio streams to MPEG-4 (HCS6700 transcoders) or MPEG-2 (HCS7700/ transcoders) transport streams. Encrypt the transcoded digital data streams with Pro:Idiom content protection. Multiplex the encrypted streams into four streams of two programs each. Modulate and upconvert the multiplexed streams in four contiguous RF channels. A Pro:Idiom compatible television with a QAM/VSB tuner is required to view premium HD content. A proper session ID must be set at the TV in order for Pro:Idiom decryption to be enabled. LG s Pay-Per-View (PPV) partners can set up this session through their interface. LG s Free-To-Guest (FTG) Mode of operation also enables Pro:Idiom decryption. Note: The RF output from the can be combined with other channels in the site s distribution grid. * Purchased separately. Note: Design and specifications subject to change without prior notice

4 Card Description System Setup Typical System Installation (see also Typical Setup Flow Chart on following page) 1. Verify that the individual transcoder cards are installed and set up as described in the appropriate Installation & Setup Guide. 2. Plug in the power to the CodePlus card frame containing the newly installed feature card and transcoder card(s). The green LED on the front panel will blink approximately once every second while the card boots up. The boot-up process for an may take up to one minute. When the boot-up is complete, the LED will be lit continuously. 3. Once the LED is lit continuously (no longer blinking), use the FTDI TTL- 232R-5V-AJ cable to connect a PC to the Service Port. 4. Using HyperTerminal or an equivalent terminal emulation program on the PC, confi gure the serial port as follows: Bits per second/baud = ; Data bits = 8; Parity = None; Stop bits = 1; Flow Control = None. Then, initiate communication with the. Once the connection is established, press Enter to refresh the screen and display the Main Menu. 5. Set the RF start channel: a) At the [Main] Command > prompt, type rf, and press Enter. b) At the Enter the start channel number [2-132] > prompt, type the appropriate start channel number and press Enter. The remaining channels will be automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards. Once you set the start channel number, the system will display the channel assignments for the card slots. 6. (Optional) Set the IP address: a) Connect an Ethernet cable from the institution s IP network to the ETHERNET port. b) At the [Main] Command > prompt, type setip and press Enter. c) Follow the system prompts to set the IP address (see the extended Installation & Setup Guide for further information).

5 Setup Connections (Cont.) Setup Information Functional Blocks default settings assign the inputs of each channel MUX to specifi c slots in the CodePlus card frame, where the RF start channel is assigned to card frame Slots 1 & 2, the second channel is assigned to card frame Slots 4 & 5, etc. Transport Streams from Transcoder Cards Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 4 Slot 5 Slot 8 Slot 9 Slot 11 Slot 12 MUX Blocks Service Port MOD Blocks Ethernet Upconverter Block Upconverter RF Out 4 Contiguous Cable Channels Out Check the following items before you begin installation and setup procedures. The feature card must be installed in a CodePlus card frame with one or more CodePlus series transcoder cards. Refer to the Installation & Setup Guide for the card frame to verify that the chassis is installed properly. Note: All cards must be used in an LG-approved card frame for this product. The must be installed in the card frame CONTROLLER slot. If another CodePlus feature card is currently installed in the CONTROLLER slot, the will replace it. The ships with an HCS6400 fan card. In an HCS6100R card frame, the HCS6400 fan card must be installed in Slot 7. If another CodePlus card is currently installed in Slot 7, the HCS6400 will replace it. For Service Port connections, you must use an FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ). Channel Assignments Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to incorporate the RF output of the. Ensure that up to four contiguous CATV channels are allocated for the RF output. The uses a modulation format, thereby occupying approximately 24 MHz of frequency spectrum. The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup, and the remaining channels are then automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards. For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel 2, the three remaining channels will be 3 4 and 5. However, if the RF start channel assignment is 6, the three remaining channels will be and 97. Refer to EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation tables for further information as required. The highest available RF channel number for the is 135. Thus, to allocate all four channels available for RF output, the RF start channel must be set no higher than 132. Transcoders For MUX/MOD functionality, transcoder cards should be inserted in the following slots: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12. Refer to the Installation & Setup Guide for the transcoder cards to verify that the cards are installed properly. In a CodePlus HCS6100R card frame, it is possible to install up to three additional transcoders in the following slots: 3, 6, and 10. These additional transcoders must be connected to external modulators and upconverters. Refer to the Installation & Setup Guide for the transcoder cards for further information. Refer to the CodePlus Series MUX/MOD Feature Card Installation & Setup Guide for further installation and configuration information and complete safety instructions.

6 Installing a CodePlus Feature Card Setup Connections Note: The CodePlus series products are NOT designed to be hot-swappable!!! Power must be removed to the card frame before any CodePlus transcoder cards are inserted or removed. Note: All cards used in the card frame must be inserted and removed by qualified service personnel only. Note: Use extreme care when handling an card. Always observe proper precautions with respect to static electricity and mechanical shock. When not installed in a card frame, return the card to the anti-static bag in which it was shipped. Note: The card slots in the card frame are NOT all identical!!! An card can only be installed in the CONTROLLER slot. The connector arrangement of Slots 1 to 6 and 7 to 12 is incompatible with the. Note: When installing cards, remove blank cover plates and insert new cards as applicable. For ports that will not be used, leave the blank cover plates in place for proper ventilation and FCC and safety agency compliance. Follow the procedure below to install the CodePlus feature card. 1. Unpack the unit and the supplied HCS6400 fan card. Note: If you are installing the in an HCS6150R card frame, an HCS6400 fan card is pre-installed in Slot 7. In this case, the HCS6400 fan card shipped with the is a spare. 2. Remove the AC power cord for the card frame from the power outlet. 3. Prepare the CONTROLLER slot in the card frame by removing either the blank cover plate or the CodePlus card currently in the slot. If installing in an HCS6100R card frame, also prepare Slot 7 for the HCS6400 fan card. 4. Without using force, slide the card into the CONTROLLER slot, and ensure that it is fully inserted. If applicable, then slide the HCS6400 fan card into Slot 7, and ensure that it is fully inserted. 5. Engage and tighten the top and bottom thumbscrews of the card(s) securely. Note that the thumbscrews should only be fi nger tight; overtightening may damage the assembly. 6. Refer to the diagrams on pages 7 and 8, and complete the system installation procedure on pages 9 and 10. in CodePlus Card Frame Chassis Note: ASI output is NOT required from transcoder cards for which modulator functionality is provided by the. If additional transcoder cards are to be installed in Slots 3, 6, and/or 10 (HCS6700 transcoders in HCS6100R card frame only), refer to the Installation & Setup Guide for HCS6700 cards for further system setup information.
