Front Panel Display Layout
Front Panel Display Layout
The following figure shows a typical screen on the front panel. Several important
features have been circled and noted below. These features are common to all
screens and assist when navigating, viewing, and editing unit information. The
Home button will return the user to the home level while in any screen. To edit a
selected parameter, press the Enter button. Once a parameter has been changed,
press the Enter button again in order for the change to take effect on the unit. Press
the Exit button to leave the edit mode without changes taking effect.
1 Icons indicate which control buttons are currently valid for entry.
2 Screen title.
3 Cursor shows which line is active.
4 When editing, active character or item is highlighted.
Front Panel Indicators

The D9887B receiver has four internal error parameters: INPUT, DECODER, FAN,
and TEMPERATURE. These parameters can be monitored locally or remotely.
Locally, the unit’s status can be checked by visually looking at the INPUT LED and
the ERROR LED on the front panel, then use the "Error List" under the Menu button
to pinpoint the error. Remotely, the unit’s status can be checked by using the web
client and looking at the status icons on the top of the main window. To see a
detailed list of errors, click on the Unit tab from the web client.
78-4043743-01 Rev A 9

The INPUT LED indicates the presence of a stream at the user-selected input.
“Stream present” is represented by a green INPUT LED while “stream NOT
present” is represented by a dark INPUT LED.
The ERROR LED represents the combined status of the unit’s error indicators. If
INPUT, DECODER, TEMP, or FAN status is in the error state, the LED will be red. If
all error indicators are good, the LED will be dark.
10 78-4043743-01 Rev A

Error Logic
Error Logic
Input Error Logic
The input status is based on the selected input card’s status and the transport error
indicator bit in the transport stream being decoded. For example, if the current input
is VSB, the input status is based on: VSB receiver lock, RF channel level, and the
MER level. The RF channel and MER thresholds can be set by the user. If the unit
detects the presence of the transport error bit in a transport packet header, the input
status will be an error for 0.5 seconds each time the TS error bit is set. The system
must detect a constant cadence of sync bytes (0x47h) every 188 bytes and detect a
valid PAT at least every 500 ms in order for the INPUT LED to illuminate.
Decoder Error Logic

The decoder error indicator is based on the decoder’s ability to decode what the user
has requested. The input status will be alarmed differently depending on the current
decoding mode:
 In "Auto Mode," the decoder status will be good unless the Video or Audio
decoders cannot decode a stream. For example: a stream defines program 4 to
have video on PID 52. If PID 52 is not actually present in the stream, or is un-
decodable, the decoder status will be in the error state. This is true for all modes.
 In "PID Lock Mode," the decoder status will be good if all of the PIDs entered by
the user, for video and audio, are being decoded by the unit. If the user wants
nothing to be decoded, the PID should be set to 0. If the user enters a PID which
is not present or cannot be decoded, the decoder status will be in the error state.
 In "Program Priority Mode," the decoder status will be good if any priority is
currently active and the Audio and Video represented by that priority are being
decoded. If the PMT for a selected program lists a video or audio PID, but the
decoder cannot decode that PID, the indicator will be in the error state. If the
user enters an index for a priority that does not exist in the PMT, the indicator
will still be good because the decoder will be set to decode nothing on that audio
output.
Temperature Error Logic

The temperature error indicator is based on the correct operation of the unit. If the
unit’s internal temperature exceeds 70 °C, the temperature status will be in the error
state.
78-4043743-01 Rev A 11

Fan Error Logic

If the fan in the unit fails, the fan status will be in the error state. The fan status will
be good as long as the fan is spinning at the proper RPM.
12 78-4043743-01 Rev A

SNMP Traps
SNMP Traps
The unit contains separate SNMP Traps for Fan Status, Temperature Status, Decoder
Status, Input Status, and IP Receive Group. Whenever any item changes state, a trap
is sent to the configured host.
78-4043743-01 Rev A 13

Input/Output Slot Organization

The D9887B receiver’s modular design allows many different input/output
configurations. An indexing system is used to identify module slots for
configuration and monitoring reference. The bottom row of slots is numbered 1-1
through 1-4 (left to right). The top row is numbered 2-1 through 2-4 as shown.

VSB/QAM Receiver Option

This card will receive a TS that is demodulated from an 8 VSB signal or it will
demodulate a QAM 64B or QAM 256B RF input. With an 8 VSB input, the card will
tune to channels 2 – 69. With a QAM input, the card will tune to channels 2 – 134 in
three cable frequency bands (FCC, IRC, and HRC). The D9887B receiver will show a
valid input if the following conditions are met: the receiver equalizer and the FEC
are locked. If the RF level is lower than the "Low Warning Setting" or the MER is
lower than the "Low MER Warning Setting," the red "Error" LED will illuminate on
the front panel and there will be an error recorded in the Error List.
Serial Transport Stream I/O (DVB-ASI/SMPTE 310M) Option

This card will receive a TS from either a DVB-ASI input or a SMPTE-310M input.
Only one format may be selected at a time. For an ASI input, the bitrate of the TS
must be between 1.5 Mb/s and 160 Mb/s. For a SMPTE-310M input, the bitrate of
the TS must be 19.392658 Mb/s. The selected input format will also be the output
format. It can also be used as a TS output for any of the other input cards.
Video Output (1 RGBHV/YPbPr, 1 Composite) Option

An analog only video output card that can output either high definition or standard
definition formats. Two outputs are on the card: one BNC for composite (NTSC &
PAL) and one 15-pin D-sub for component (RGBHV or YPbPr). The card outputs an
SD or HD signal, one at a time. Closed caption (NTSC), detected in the transport
stream, can be inserted on line 21 of the composite (NTSC video) output.
Audio Output (Dolby E, AES Digital, Analog) Option

This card allows the output of both Digital-AES and analog audio. Each digital audio
output can be set to either Raw or PCM. In Raw, the compressed audio for the
selected PID is passed through to the digital output. Typically, this setting is used to
pass-through the Dolby AC-3 compressed digital signal. When the digital audio
output is set to PCM, two-channel linear coded PCM AES/EBU audio is output to
the digital output. The analog output provides two-channel (L, R) decoded analog
audio from the selected audio processor. The two audio processors on the decoder
board, feeding the two digital outputs, can process or decode Dolby AC-3, MPEG
Layer 1, or MPEG Layer 2 formats. The audio processor will self-sense which type of
audio is in the TS. It also has a Dolby E parsing feature.

CA Decryption Option
General Information
Install Location: Factory Installed Option (Not Field Upgradeable)
I/O: Two external slots in the front of the unit. The transport stream is input and
output through the various other option cards.
Description: The D9887B receiver can be configured with this option to be able to
decrypt a Conditional Access transport stream. In Config 1, the dual CAM
functionality can be used to decrypt multiple services to send out ASI, essentially
looping the stream through the D9887B receiver for decryption.
This option also provides BISS decryption.
Note: The dual CAM functionality is only available in a Config 1 when the "CAM
Operation Mode" is set to "Use Decoded Stream." In Config 2, each slot links to its
respective RDS.
CAM Decryption Setup

To setup the D9887B receiver to decrypt Conditional Access Streams, use the
following steps.
1 Press the Home button to bring the display back to the RDS status screen.
2 Press the Left button to access the RDS 1 Decoder Menu.

Note: For Configuration 2 units, all of the following instructions apply exactly
the same except, use the Right button to access the RDS 2 Decoder Menu.

the Enter button.
2 Use the Up and Down buttons to change the setting ("Enabled" or "Disabled"),
Setting the CAM Operation Mode

1 Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to "CAM Operation Mode,"
2 Use the Up and Down buttons to change the mode ("Use Decoded PIDs" or "Use
Selected PIDs"), then press the Enter button to save the selection.
Note: Depending on the mode selection, the menus below the mode options will
have changed.
Use Decoded PIDs

In the "Use Decoded PIDs" operation mode, the CAM will decrypt the audio and
video programs that are decoded by the D9887B receiver. The Service Selection
tuning determines the program that is sent to the CAM for decrypting before the
decoding takes place. Only the program used for decoding is sent to the CAM no
matter how many programs the CAM is capable of decrypting. If programs other
than ( or in addition to) the one being decoded is to be sent to the CAM for
decryption, the "Use Selected PIDs" mode should be used.
78-4043743-01 Rev A 93

Use Selected PIDs

The "Use Selected PIDs" operation mode allows the selection of individual video and
audio PIDs to send to the CAM for decryption. There is no restriction on which PIDs
can be selected (audio and video PIDs need not be in the same program). The PIDs
are selected from the PIDs that are available in the PMT of the input. If there is no
input PMT available, the selection of PIDs will not be possible. If a selected PID is no
longer listed in the input PMT, the Service that contained the PID will be listed
followed by a "*" indication. The Services with PIDs that are no longer in the PMT
can be found on the bottom of the Service list.
Once "CAM Operation Mode" has been set to "Use Selected PIDs," use the following
steps to configure your D9887B receiver to decrypt selected PIDs.
Note: It is only possible to decrypt more than one program at a time, if the CAM
module supports multiple program decrypting.
1 The Services that are sent to the CAMs are listed under the "CAM1" or "CAM2"
(with the CAM name if available).
2 Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to the program (Service)
which contains the PIDs to be selected, then press the Enter button.
3 The video and audio PIDs that are available for that Service in the PMT are
listed.
4 Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to the PID to be selected or
deselected, then press the Enter button.
5 Press the Enter button to edit the selection.
6 Use the Up and Down buttons to change the selection status.

Note: The short name is listed (if available) with the Service. The PIDs video type
and audio language information is shown along with the PID.
94 78-4043743-01 Rev A

Note: The symbol "♦" denotes that the PID is a selected PID (being sent to the
CAM). The symbol "◊" denotes that the PID is not selected (not being sent to the
CAM).
PIDs No Longer in the Input PMT

The selected PIDs that are not listed in the PMT are listed followed with a "*" under
the associated CAM. The list contains the Services, with PID selection available after
selecting the Service. These PIDs can be selected or deselected. If they remain
selected and appear in the PMT, those PIDs will be sent to the CAM for decryption.
1 Use the Left and Right buttons to move the cursor to a "*"’ed Service, then press
the Enter button.
2 Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to the PID to be selected or
deselected, then press the Enter button.
3 Use the Up and Down buttons to change the selection status.

Group Selection Settings

This section allows the user to specify which Receive Group is active (Receive 1 or
Receive 2), if one of the receive groups acts as a backup for the other receive group
(setting the "Active Group" to "Auto") and then setting the backup options.
The backup options assign a primary receive group, what is used to trigger the
switchover to the backup receive group, when the Primary should be restored and
the timeout before switching to the Backup or restoring to the Primary.
The D9887B receiver is usually configured to have either the MPEG/IP backup
enabled or the Input Option backup enabled, not both.
Selecting the Active Receive Group

1 Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to "Active Group," then press
the Enter button.
2 Use the Up and Down buttons to select "1", "2", or "Auto," then press the Enter

Note: Using "Auto" will enable the backup functionality.

Note: When the backup functionality is being used, the user can choose which
Receive Group is being used as follows: setting the "Pri Group" to the desired
group or by setting the "Active Group" to the desired group, and then activating
the backup functionality again by setting the "Active Group" to "Auto."
Setting the Primary Receive Group

Note: The Receive Group that is not selected as the Primary Receive Group, will be

Setting the Switchover Trigger

This sets the failure that is used to initiate a switchover to the backup. It is either a
failure of the Receive Group reception ("TrigTSErr") that is detected by a lack of TS
Presence in the Receive Group, or when the video cannot be decoded ("TrigDecErr").
When "TrigDecErr" is used, the "Pri Rest" (Primary Restore) will be set to "Never"
and the "Pri Rest" option is not presented. This is done because the Primary restore
uses the TS Presence ("TrigTSErr") to detect when the primary is present, and
unstable operation could take place if the switchover triggers are not consistent.
1 Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor to "SwtchOver," then press the
Enter button.
2 Use the Up and Down buttons to select "TrigTsErr" or "TrigDecErr," then press
Note: Using "TrigDecErr" sets "Pri Rest" to "Never" and it does not need to be

Appendix E
D9887B Receiver Audio Explanation
Audio Setup
There are three primary modes of audio down mix operation for the MPEG-
2/MPEG-4 4:2:0 decoders (1 Video, 2 Audio). These settings only affect the signal if
the digital output is set to "PCM." It will also affect those embedded audio channels
that are set to a PCM down mix.
The modes are "Monitor" (the default setting), "Transmission", and "User."
Note: There are no gain changes if the digital or embedded outputs are set to Raw.
The first mode is "Transmission." It allows no changes by the customer. It is intended
to provide a limited dynamic range signal to drive a set-top box or a transmitter. The
"Transmission" mode does respond to dialog normalization data. It provides a gain
boost of 11 dB and has compression to prevent the signal from overdriving a
modulator. The 11 dB gain boost is applied to the analog outputs, AES digital
outputs set to PCM, and any embedded outputs set to PCM.
Note: It will not affect the gain of digital outputs or embedded outputs set to Raw.
It is intended to provide a similar audio level as a broadcast TV station signal
through an RF modulator. The down mix includes the "center" and "surround"
channels if they are present, and is represented as Lt/Rt. (left total/right total)
The second mode is "Monitor." It has moderate processing, no gain boost and its
down mix involves left and right channels only (L/R). The compression setting is
"Line" mode as the default, but may be changed to "RF", "Custom 0", or "Custom 1."
In "Line" mode, the Dolby dialog normalization data is followed. No other
parameters may be set by the customer. It is intended for monitoring of sources with
only some peak limiting protection. Selecting "RF" as the compression setting will
add 11 dB of gain and the same processing as the "Transmission" mode to the analog
outputs, AES digital outputs set to PCM, and any embedded outputs set to PCM.
The down mix is L/R (left only/right only).
The third mode available is "User." It allows all parameters to be set by the operator.
The compression choices are "RF", "Line Mode", "Custom 0", and "Custom 1." RF and
"Line Mode" essentially duplicate the first two modes of audio mix down described
above. The "Custom 0" and "Custom 1" modes have no audio processing or gain
boost. "Custom 1" does enable gain changes called for by the dialog normalization
data. It allows the operator to enable or disable the dynamic range (peak limiting)
and select the channels to downmix "Lt/Rt", "L/R", "Auto", "Mono L", and "Mono
R". Mono left or Mono right applies that signal to both left and right channels of the
digital service, left and right channels of the analog outputs, and left and right
channels of any embedded stream set to PCM. "Auto" was introduced with Dolby
Digital Plus and will select the downmix of Lt/Rt or L/R based on the received
audio metadata. If the metadata is not present or Dolby Digital audio is received,
Lt/Rt down mixing is used.
242 78-4043743-01 Rev A

Audio Setup
"Custom 0" disregards the Dolby dialog normalization data and runs at a fixed gain.
Choosing "RF" as the compression mode will increase the gain by 11 dB for the
analog outputs, AES digital outputs set to PCM, and any embedded outputs set to
PCM.
If you want to run with no processing, set "User / Custom 1 / L/R / Dynamic
Range" to disabled. This will still allow gain changes called for in the Dolby
metadata.
78-4043743-01 Rev A 243

Appendix E
Audio Output Settings

The digital audio services may be set to "PCM" (AES) or "Raw" as an output. This
applies to all available sources. The "PCM" setting will pass an AES stream, or
automatically down mix an AC-3 Dolby stream to two channels. "Raw" simply
passes thru the Dolby AC-3 data stream to be decoded by an external decoder such
as the Dolby 569. The analog channels can be assigned to any of the digital services.
The analog gain may be adjusted for the desired level. The gain setting does not
affect the level of either the embedded audio or the digital services. A setting of 7
provides an output of approximately 0 dBu for a digital signal level of -20 dBFS. To
check the audio output level, set "User / Custom1 / L/R" to disabled. This will
remove any signal processing in the down mix. Set the digital service to be measured
to "PCM." A test stream of -20 dBFS will output from the digital services as -20 dBFS.
If the analog channels are set to a gain setting of 7, the output should be -0.7 dBu
plus or minus 0.5 dBu. Each gain number increments or decrements approximately
2.5 dBu per step. When you are setting the output levels, it is suggested that an AC-3
stereo tone (2.0) be used as the source. Do not use a Dolby AC-3 5.1 tone source as
your test signal. The five channels of equal tones will down mix such that one
channel will be more than twenty dB greater than the other.
244 78-4043743-01 Rev A

Digital Audio Measurements
Digital Audio Measurements

Digital measurements are made in dBFS, decibels related to Full Scale. The normal
operating level of a digital audio system is 20 db below the full digital signal. This
full digital signal is the point where there are no more bits to describe a higher level.
This would be analogous to clipping in the analog world. Since test tones are set to -
20 dBFS, there is 20 dB of headroom in the digital system before the system runs out
of bits. To test for maximum level, a 0 dBFS test tone is used.
The dynamic range is read directly by reading how many dBFS below 0 dBFS is the
noise. If the signal plus noise is -85 dBFS, then the dynamic range is 85 dB. The same
method is utilized for THD measurements. Again, the THD reading in dBFS is read
directly on the analyzer. If the amount of distortion is wanted in per cent, it can be
calculated from the value in dBFS. For example, -84 dBFS would be equivalent to
.0063% distortion.
If there are analog outputs that are delivering the same signal as the digital outputs
for a digital source, the normal digital level must be compared to a resulting analog
level out of the system. In the D9887B receiver, for a -20 dBFS test tone, the D9887B
receiver analog audio outputs deliver a -0.78 dBu level. If a 0 dBFS test tone is used,
the analog outputs deliver a +19.98 dBu level. The analog level is adjustable and the
levels above result if the analog gain control is set to "7". This is the setting Sencore
uses for testing.
The signal to noise in a digital system is measured by stimulating the system with a
test tone at -60 dBFS, notching out the tone, and measuring the noise that is left. This
measurement is made with the bandpass set by a low pass filter that is slightly
below ½ the sampling frequency. In the case of the D9887B receiver, that is ½ of 48
kHz or 24 kHz. Practically, the filter in the analyzer cuts off about 22 kHz. The tone
is necessary because the system mutes if it is not receiving a digital signal.
Analog Audio Measurements

The analog audio measurements utilize the same test signals as the digital test with
the exception of the THD measurement. The longer setting time of the analog THD
analyzer requires a slower frequency sweep test signal. The analog audio signals in
the D9887B receiver are derived from the decoded digital audio in the D9887B
receiver.
78-4043743-01 Rev A 245

Appendix E
General Audio Setup for Measurements

The D9887B receiver has three primary operation modes that affect the quantity of
compression with decoded Dolby Digital signals. All tests are made with the "user"
mode of operation. This eliminates any signal compression on Dolby Digital signals
downmixed in the D9887B receiver. This mode has no effect on PCM encoded audio
(AES). The analog output gain is set to "7" for all tests. This results in a level of
approximately -0.7 dBu for a digital input level of -20 dBFS. This would be the
operating level of the D9887B receiver's analog outputs for a standard digital signal.
