Installation Notes
All types of the DRD/DRP family are 19“ devices with 1 RU height designed for installation in 19” racks. In
addition to the front panel screws an internal module support is required at the rack.
Depending on the Frontend used and the operating adjustments, the input port carries DC voltage (13V /
18V, max. 400 mA).
By connecting a mains cable, the device can become functional without any auxiliary appliances. The power
supply units are designed for the wide range of 100-240V AC; a manual adjustment of the voltage is not
necessary.
The second power connector is feeding another independent power supply for redundancy. For a maximum
of redundancy both power supplies should use different circuits.
All the outputs are decoupled from one another. Thus, the circuit does not have any effect on the functioning
of the device. Connections that are not required need not to be terminated.

General description
DRD 700 is an DVB-Quad receiver. He can be user defined equiped with 2 Twin DVB frontend boards
(DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/C or DVB-T/T2). The four independent MPEG-2/MPEG-4 SD/HD input signals are
demodulated, descrambled and are available as 4x2 ASI interfaces.
For the descrambling, DRD 700 has four DVB-CI slots, which enables appropriate CAM modules to decode
the complete transport stream. Multidecryption is available by default.
The DVB-S/S2 twin frontends allows the receiving and demultiplexing of transport streams regarding
EN 302307 Annex H.2. By using two twin frontends four transport streams can be provided at the ASI
interfaces. In total there exist 4 x 2 ASI output interfaces, two interfaces provide the same signal.
Max. four transport streams as 4 x MPTS can be provided by the IP-GbE-SFP interface. In addition the
DRD700 is able to provide 60 x SPTS data streams, in total 64 transport stream channels are available
via IP interface.
Optionally the IP-GbE-SFP interface can be used as IP input. For redundancy applications the second IP-
GbE-SFP interface is available. For both options a license key is necessary.
An additional option is Processing, inclusive Service- and PIF filtering as well as multiplexing of max. four
new transport streams from the input signals with table generation.
The device is operated locally, either via a LCD display and an additional wheel or with the implemented
web server via a web browser. A SNMP agent with the corresponding MIB is built in for the integration in
a network management system. The device is controlled via a separate LAN connection, which has a
separate IP address; thus, the device can also be accessed from a distance.
The basic version of the DRD 700 comprises:
2 internal slots for Twin-DVB-x frontend boards
2 x ASI input
4 x 2 x ASI output
4 DVB common interface for the CAM modules
2 x IP-GbE SFP interface for IP input or IP streaming
oDual configured for signal redundancy
oSFP-interfaces to 100/1000BaseT Half-/Fullduplex manuell configurable
10/100 Mbit LAN interface for web browser and SNMP
Isolated / potential-free switching contacts
LCD display with wheel and status LEDs
2 Wide-range power supply units (Redundancy)
The basic device can be extended with additional hardware / software options:
DVB-S/DVB-S2 Frontends (with LNB supply and 22kHz switch signal) design, SCPC filter
DVB-S/DVB-S2 Twin-16APSK-/32APSK-Frontends, SCPC filter
DVB-T/C Frontend
DVB-T/T2 Frontend

Input
Different DVB Input Frontends can be implemented.
ASI interface
There are 4 x 2 equivalent ASI outputs on the back side of the device. If a fault occurs, the ASI operating
outputs can be switched off. Depending upon the (software) configuration and option, the originally received
TS or the TS with one or more descrambled services can be maintained on the ASI outputs.
As a standard, two ASI inputs are provided on the back side of the device. If an additional frontend is
implemented, it is possible to switch between the ASI and frontend input.
Wide-range power supply unit:
DRD 700 has two wide-range power supply units for redundancy purposes. A failure of a power supply will
be indicated The input voltage range is 100V AC – 240V AC. In the event of an operational disturbance or a
fault in the mains supply the configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory. Upon restart the operation
automatically continues with the last setting.
Test Equipment
Devices delivered for demonstration and test purposes might have a limited duration of functionality. After
exceeding the test period the main functions are shut off.

Common Interface
This menu gives an overview of the programs included in the transport stream (TS). Moreover the user
procures information as to whether the transport stream is encrypted and how many elementary stream
PIDs of a service are in the transport stream.
Multiple Service Decryption (also called Multi-decryption or Bulk Descrambling) is supported. Depending on
the CAM in operation up to 16 PIDs can be decoded in general. Professional CAMs are supporting up to 32
PIDs.
There are a lot of different CAMs with different hardware and software option on the market please contact
your CAM vendor for more information about the number of services the CAM can descramble. Please use
officially supported CAMs only to avoid decryption problems.
The menu item Common Interface provides information about the used CAM and the supported CA System
ID of the encoding system. With the CA PMT List, you can select from different initialisation methods during
the Multi-Decryption function. Some CAMs do not support all the methods.
only-add: The CA-PMT list is activated via ‘only’ and ‘add’ commands.
first-more-last: The CA-PMT list is activated via ‘first’, ‘more’ and ‘last’.
If you click on No the Descrambling Monitoring System (DMS) menu will open. Here you can select
individual elementary PIDs for decoding via the common interface. After finishing all entries the
configuration must be transferred to the device by clicking Set.
The Reset button allows a targeted resetting of one CAM.
A click on CAM MMI gives the access to more information about CAM and Smart Card via an additional

BISS Decryption
Basic Interoperable Scrambling System, usually known as BISS, is a satellite signal scrambling system.
Using BISS the transmission is protected by a 12 digit "session key" that is agreed by the transmitting and
receiving parties prior to transmission. The key is entered into both the encoder and decoder, this key then
forms part of the encryption of the digital TV signal and only receivers with the correct key will decrypt the
signal.
BISS Decryption with DRD700 is realized with Alphacrypt Classic Pro.
Select the appropriate slot > “CAM MMI” > “5” for Module Options > “5” for BISS Settings:
