IRD1560 Decoder User Manual
IRD1560 DVB-S2 HD IRD is ASCENT’s all-in-one device which integrates demodulation, de-
scrambler, remux and decoding in one case to convert RF signals into audio/video
(CVBS/YPbPr/HDMI/SDI) output.
It is a 1-U case which supports 2 tuner inputs to receive signal from satellite. The two
CAMs/CIs accompanied can descramble the programs input from encrypted RF, ASI and IP.
The CAM requires NO unsightly external power cords, cables, or additional remote control
device.
Its pluggable structure design greatly facilitates the change of modules (demodulator or
decoder) as needed.
To meet customers’ various requirements, IRD1560 is also equipped with ASI and IP input for
remux, and output with 2 ASI ports and IP port.
 Demodulation + descrambler +remux+ decoder modules in one box
 2 DVB- S/S2Tuner inputs
 1 ASI & 1 IP (UDP) input for remux
 One CAM can decrypt multiple programs from Tuners/ASI/IP
 One channel video output with various interface option (MPEG2/H.264)
 Dual stereo audio output, or one Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus (5.1) channel output
 Support Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus Decoding and passthrough
 IP (1 MPTS & 8 SPTS) over UDP and RTP/RTSP output; ASI out
 Support CC, Subtitle and Teletext
 Support maximum 128 PID mapping per input
 Pluggable and changeable demodulator and decoder modules
 LCD display, Remote control and Firmware, web NMS management
 Updates via web

Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are
independent to each other. Device power requires AC power 100 ~ 240V
50 ~ 60Hz. Please carefully check before running.
 All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also,
they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection.
Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
 Coaxial cables outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting with
the metal housing of device.
 Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
 Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be antirust.
 It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
 The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less than
25mm2.
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding wire
should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of the conduction between
grounding wire and grounding strip should be no less than 25mm2.
