Figure 3.4: Installation of the modules: finish the installation If more than one modules are installed in the rack, connect the next module, and again press PROGRAM. Repeat this step untill all modules are programmed. Press FINISH Press OK 12
Now, all the installed modules appear in green (Figure 3.5). Inside the green boxes, the temperature of the modules is shown. Figure 3.5: Installation of the modules: all modules installed Notes: Figure 3.5 gives an overview of the complete system. After the installation, an USB hub may be used to control all modules at once. Be sure you connect the USB hub AFTER the installation! If the modules don t appear as green right after installing them, please wait a moment until all modules are reinitiated. 13
3.2 Setup of the modules In this step, we will configure the inputs (LNB/AV settings) and outputs (MUX settings) of the modules. Go to the SETTINGS menu. You get an overview of the installed modules (Figure 3.6). Click the module to setup. Figure 3.6: Setup of the modules: choose the module Follow one of the following steps, depending on the type of module: 14

Select the MUX to be configured. Drag and drop the programs in the desired MUX. Figure 3.16: Configuration of the modules: drag and drop the programs The programs that are streamed will be highlited in green. If you check the CAM field next to a stream, this stream will pass trough the CAM module. If the stream is scrambled, the icon appears. icon appears next to it. If the stream is descrambled, the To stop the streaming of a certain program, click OFF, next to that program. The program will stay in the list, but will not be highlighted in green anymore. To remove a program from the list, press on the clear button next to it:. Notes: - Depending on the bandwith of the chosen streams, you can select up to 8 streams per MUX. Some streams use a lot of bandwidth and reduce this number... - You cannot drag and drop 2 times the same program. - T1, T2, T3, T4 before the name of the streams indicates the number of the chosen tuner. 24
The number of programs depend on the bandwidth of the chosen streams. The total bandwidth of the streams is shown in the Output Bitrate bar graph. When the bar is green, other streams can still be added (up to 8). When the bar is orange, we are on the limit of a bitrate overflow: Figure 3.17: Output bitrate on the limit of overflow. When the bar is red, there is a bitrate overflow. Remove a program to stabilize the system! Figure 3.18: Output bitrate overflow. 25
