Installation:
From left to right:
DVB S/S2 RF Inputs 1…4 to be connected by F-male 75 Ohm coming from Multiswitch or SAT-Matrix.
We recommend not using the LOOP-OUT ports because of their additional attenuation. But if you loop the
input to another RF Input please consider, that only the first one in a serial looping should be configured
to serve the multiswitch with 13/18V/22KHz/DiSEqC signals. Disadvantage is logical:
The following and looped RF Inputs can only make use of the same SAT- parameters as used for the first
one. Example: RF IN 1 is set to High-band, Horizontal, and DiSEqC used SAT 2: 18V, 22kHz, DiSEqC 2.
The looped next Inputs can only use same band (High), same polarization (H) and same Satellite position
(DiSEqC). 75 Ohm terminating Resistor are recommended to be used for unused open RF loop-ports.
Actual listings about the SAT-Transponders and Satellites can be obtained from:
http://satbeams.com/ and https://www.lyngsat.com
CAM-Slots:
Be careful when inserting the CAM's! The TOP of the CAM's should be like the TOP of the unit.
To get it out there is a tool to press.
ASI-Outputs:
4x dual ASI-outputs can be used to deliver the configured max 4 TS either as pass-through or
remultiplexed to the next units you might use.

ASI-IN:
Can be used to input another TS where you might use some services from and remux or stream as well as
decrypt by an inserted CAM… or simply stream selected content.
DATA and NMS Ports:
DATA –port = GbEthernet, for streaming in and out.
NMS: Management port and SNMP port for the Web-IF.
PSU:
Power supply C14 inlet connector with ON/OFF switch.
Grounding connector:
Please use this to establish ground/earth contact with your electrical installations according to
international norms and rules. If a central grounding is used in a 19'' Rack, please connect the unit to it
accordingly.
Let's start with the Web-Interface:

Left frame is the menu-panel to select the different sub-menus. The Status page gives an overview:
System information, Input status and output bitrates configured and used. You are seeing the numbering
of Inputs and they are corresponding with the left Input-numbers: 1-4 = Tuner, 5=ASI IN, 6-9 = IP-Input
streams.
We start with the Network settings of NMS- management port:
We assume that the user is familiar with IP settings and already knows his own system to connect the unit
to. We recommend using 2 separate Switches: At least a 100BaseT for the Management NMS RJ45 port
and a second Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000BaseT with at least Layer 2+ with IGMP V2 features.
Otherwise you might flood your IP-Streaming network with unnecessary Data, which might overload
connected IPTV STB's because they almost have only 100BaseT capacity. If you need to select a Switch, we
recommend HP Procurve 2530 24G or 48G which are cost effective, easy to configure, can be trunked and
supporting IGMP V2. If the switch needs routing functions, the bigger brother of this series might be the
right choice.
Adjust the settings to your need and Apply.
Note: The GbE DATA Streaming port has a secure feature and cannot be set to the same IP address range
like the NMS port to avoid accidently flooding the NMS port and your Laptop/PC would not be able to
reach the Web-IF.

Like explained above, the IP-Range must be in a different Subnet
than the NMS port. It automatically avoids that… already explained … Maybe we will change that
"securism" in a future release to give the user the chance to use one switch and use IGMP or port
isolation / Multicast blocking setup methods to avoid flooding…
The reason why the streaming port definitely needs an IP address is simple: W/o any obligatory IP
Address, the connected network would not be aware of this port. Also - it's mandatory if you want to
stream in Unicast mode. Destination and Sender must be defined properly.
Select streaming mode UDP or RTP/RTSP. We skip an explanation of these protocols. Please Google for it
if necessary.
Input configuration
For CBR usage, a fixed Bitrate can be chosen. Note:
Calculate 10…15% overhead for stream – data peaks

Pretty easy and self explaining for the SAT-Tuners:
13/18/0 Volt setting, High-Band 22KHz support, and DiSEqC to chose from which SAT 1…8 the connected
Multiswitch should operate. If using splitters we recommend to serve the Multiswitch with power / 22KHz
just by one of the combined Input RF-ports!!! The other ones should be set to 0V and no 22KHz.
incoming ASI and Bit rate will be shown.
Same for a received MPTS from the GbEthernet DATA Input port. We recommend switching IGMP to ON:
The version should harmonize with your used GbE Switch (Layer 2+
or better). UDP or RTP can be chosen as well depending on your Streaming Source configuration.

CI- Modules:
A log –message window gives status information…
If a CAM is inserted, the Stream selected, the Search program need to be started and will finally list the
input content:
To guarantee a reliable function we recommend using professional CA modules from the following manufactures:
MASCOM (Alphacrypt Family) - PANACCESS
ASTON
SMiT
NAGRA / SMARTV
XCRYPT (might have some timing issues)
Please pay attention to use the latest software- / hardware version. Note: There are Consumer CAM's and
professional CAM's on the market. Consumer CAM's often can only decrypt up to 2 TV Services.
The CA module diversity of other manufactures is increasing permanently, the using of them might be possible but
BLANKOM / IRENIS is not able to guarantee for faultless operating in all cases. Because there are so many good and
bad CI modules, we are not able to test them all and do workarounds for special cases.
Similar settings can be considered for the embedded
TS Limits according to
different available CA-
Module capabilities can be
set and need to be
considered: 48… 108 Mbps
As well as source selection

TS Configuration:
Set the ASI outputs and MPTS bitrates for the ports:
Self explaining isn't it? ASI is always CBR, so the TS need to
be considered with at least a recommended overhead of 10% - 15% (null-packet insertion PID 8919 dec)
to not disturb all TV/Radio Services in a stream if the peaks of the cumulated services would exceed the
configured Megabit per second. ASI can be used up to 213 Mbps but that’s slightly too much for the GbE
output if using all 4 to this… So balancing and considering the physical limits should be always in your
mind.

Once the configured and selected
Inputs are shown on the left, you need
to select each Input TS in particular
and execute "Parse program" to read
in the services and PID's of each Input.

Open the tree shows detailed information:
Finally select and configure the MPTS and SPTS you want to stream:
bitrate setting should calculated and
set when CBR (w/o null packet filter) should be streamed !
Remark: NIT and EIT (EPG) will not be processed
by this simple remultiplexing functions. Same for
single PID-Filtering: not supported. There are
some external tools for some models available ->
Just ask please.

Installation Notes
All types of the IRENIS-BLANKOM 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 RF-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 100-230V AC; a manual adjustment of the
voltage is not necessary.
For some models the second power connector is feeding another independent power supply for internal
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.
Suggestion: CAT 6E Ethernet cable for GbEthernet
Note:
IPv4 global scope sessions use multicast addresses in the range 224.2.128.0 - 224.2.255.255 with SAP
Announcements being sent to 224.2.127.254 Port 9875 (note that 224.2.127.255 is used by the
obsolete SAPv0 and MUST NOT be used).
IPv4 administrative scope sessions using administratively scoped IP multicast. The multicast address to
be used for announcements is the highest multicast address in the relevant administrative scope zone.
For example, if the scope range is 239.16.32.0 - 239.16.33.255, then 239.16.33.255 is used for SAP
Announcements.
