3.1.5 Advanced Configuration

NIT Insertion

1. Connect the equipment through NMS, and complete the configuration on the output module.
Here take QAM module as an example. The QAM 8TS output is set at frequencies 474, 482,
490, 498, 506, 514, 522 and 530, SR 6.875.
2. Switch to “Service Configuration” tab to configure the output channels at each QAM
channel. Here we output total 6 programs at 3 TS channels:
CCTV-1, CCTV-2 and CCTV-7 at TS1;
CCTV-10 at TS2;
CCTV-11, CCTV-12 at TS3

 
 
3. Select a TS channel, right click on it and select “SI setting” to enter the “PSI/SI” menu.

117
  
 
8. Under the new added “transport_stream”, find the item “transport_descriptor”, use mouse
right button to select to add proper descriptor base on the actual situation.
We select “Add Cable Descriptor” here because we use 8QAM module.

 
 
9. Input the TS1 channel parameter for the cable descriptor. (for the FEC_Inner option, please
always select “No Define”)

118
  

After input the descriptor, click “Add”, then user can expand the “transport_descriptor” menu
to check whether the new added data correct or not. Then repeat steps 7~10 to add other
frequencies to this NIT table.

119
10. After the configurations of the NIT, do remember to click “Apply” and then “Save” button in
the “Program Info” window to apply the settings.

If needed, you can right click ‘Transport Description→Descriptor Tag 0x44 cable delivery
system descriptor’ to modify or delete the descriptor.

LCN Insertion

In telecommunications, a logical channel number (LCN), also known as virtual channel, is a

channel designation which differs from that of the actual radio channel (or range of frequencies)
on which the signal travels.

The most common reason for a television station using a virtual channel is to minimize viewer
confusion when a digital transmission is airing on a different channel from the one the station
used in analog mode. The virtual channel thus enables viewers to tune in the station by
choosing the same channel number as they would have previously.

The equipment supports LCN feature in a DTV system. Through following a few simple
configuration steps then you can activate this feature.

1. Select the TS where your actual NIT table locates from an output module in “Output
Program Info” window. Right click on the TS, and select “SI setting” to enter the PSI/SI
editing page.
2. In the PSI/SI editing page, click + besides NIT Actual table to expand the table, find the
“transport_descriptor”, and right click on it and select “Add LCN Descriptor” to enter the
LCN editing page. 

120
  
Below example will describe the procedure to edit LCN from a QAM module.( The QAM module
in this chassis is inserted to the slot 3. So it is showing as Board3 [QAM] in the LCN editing
page)

1) In “Board TS List”, Click to check the corresponding TS (for example:

“Board3[QAM]-Port1-TS1” ) in which the programs need to be assigned with LCN. Then all
of the programs within that TS will be listed in the “Services” list.
2) Click Add in front of a program name in the Service list, the service ID, Logic Channel
Number, Visible Service Flag of this program will appear in the following LCN table. Input a
proper LCN for this program; Following above steps to assign LCN for more programs in
this TS. Then click Add at the bottom of this page to save the LCN setting. (Please keep
“visible_service_flag” as the default setting – 1).
3) Repeat steps 1)-2) to add LCN for other programs in other TS, and then click “Exit”.

121
3. After the settings on all output TS channel, do remember to click “Apply” and then “Save”
button in the “Service Configuration” window to apply the settings.

OTA descriptor Insertion

To do the OTA upgrade for STB, generally you need insert an OTA descriptor into the NIT
under the central frequency in head-end equipments.

1. Right click the TS which you set as central frequency TS and click ‘PSI/SI’.
2. Enter ‘NIT Actual→Network Descriptors’ ; right click it and select ‘Add network description’.

122
3. Input the Tag and OTA descriptor and click ‘Add’
