OVERVIEW

DVB Master Quad/i

 

datasheet for DVB Master Quad/i

 

 

Worldwide the television industry is currently in the process of changing from analog to digital technology. MPEG-2 has now been universally adopted as the main standard for video compression. Since MPEG-2 must be decoded at the same rate it was encoded at an information layer needs to be added to the MPEG in order to transmit it to end users. Standards have been created by industry to provide for the methodology of packetizing MPEG-2 streams and adding encoding information in tables via data packets to the video packets The DVB standard has been approved by the European Community and other industry and government groups as the standard to accommodate the need for satellite and terrestrial originated digital television. This product complies with the DVB ASI specifications as defined in ETSI TR 101 891 and provides for the ability of computers to capture, process, and transmit DVB ASI compliant streams.

 

THE DVB ASI STANDARD

 

DVB ASI defines a method of digitally transmitting MPEG-2 Transport Streams at 270 mbps and is designed to be transmitted via QPSK modulation via a satellite-based router to the home receiver. It is usually composed of a many standard definition 4-6 Mbps streams Multiplexed together with associated audio streams in various languages into a multi Program Transport Stream . . This is the standard that is usually used to feed most brands of DVB Modulators. Our DVB Master Quad input device can be used to create multiple inputs for Video Servers or test equipment that is compatible with the DVB ASI standard.

 

Clock Issues: The DVB ASI standard specifies a very accurate 30 ppm clock. The cabling for DVB requires a 75 ohm Coaxial Cable with BNC connectors.

 

Standard Features

  • Multiple boards can be used for more inputs

  • Bandwidth can be divided as required between the ports

  • Looks like four separate DVB Master™ III Rx's

  • Uses highly efficient Bus Master Link List DMA for data transform (saving CPU resources)

  • Provides an interface for Layer-0 and Layer-1 of the DVB ASI standard

  • Uses the proven Cypress™ HotLink® interface chip

  • RoHS compliant (2002/95/EC)

  • Advanced Receiver Capabilities –

    -- Synchronizes incoming packets to byte boundaries

    -- Automatic 188 and 204 packet size detection

    -- Interrupt on in/out of sync

    -- Software selectable option to strip 16 bytes from 204 byte packets

    -- Unlimited PID filtering (any number of PIDs may be selected)
