Chapter 1 Product Outline
1.1 Outline
NDS356xC SD IRD is DEXIN‟s all-in-one device which integrates demodulation, de-scrambling
and decoding in one case to convert RF signals (DVB-C, T/T2, S/S2 optional) into analogue
video (CVBS) output.
It is a 1-U case which supports 2 tuner inputs. 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, NDS356xC is also equipped with ASI and IP input,
and output with 2 ASI ports and IP port.
1.2 Features
Demodulation + descrambler + decoder modules in one box
2 Tuner inputs (DVB-C, T/T2, S/S2 Optional)
1 ASI & 1 IP (UDP) input for re-mux
One CAM can decrypt multiple programs from Tuners/ASI/IP
Separate 4*CVBS video output
IP (1 MPTS & 8 SPTS) over UDP and RTP/RTSP output; ASI out
Support maximum 128 PID mapping per input
Pluggable and changeable demodulator and decoder modules
Support BISS descrambling (Up to 120Mbps)
LCD display, Remote control and Firmware, web NMS management
Updates via web
Best quality and breakthrough price

Chapter 2 Installation Guide
2.1 Acquisition Check
When user opens the package of the device, it is necessary to check items according to
packing list. Normally it should include the following items:
NDS356xC SD IRD 1pcs
User‟s Manual 1pcs
ASI Cable 1pcs
Power Cord 1pcs
If any item is missing or mismatching with the list above, please contact our company.
2.2 Installation Preparation
When users install device, please follow the below steps. The details of installation will be
described at the rest part of this chapter. Users can also refer rear panel chart during the
installation.
The main content of this chapter including:
Checking the possible device missing or damage during the transportation
Preparing relevant environment for installation
Installing modulator
Connecting signal cables
Connecting communication port (if it is necessary)

AC power 100-240V 50-60Hz. Please carefully check before
running.
2.2.3 Grounding Requirement
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.

NDS356xC SD IRD User‟s Manual
9 / 41
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.
2.2.4 Frame Grounding
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.
2.2.5 Device Grounding
Connecting the device‟s grounding rod to frame‟s grounding pole with copper wire.
2.3 Wire’s Connection
The grounding wire conductive screw is located at the right end of rear panel, and the power
switch, fuse, power supply socket is just beside ,whose order goes like this, power switch is
on the left ,power supply socket is on the right and the fuse is just between them.
Connecting Power Cord
User can insert one end into power supply socket, while insert the other end to AC
power.
Connecting Grounding Wire
When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent way,
say, share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the
grounding resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting power cord to NDS356xC SD IRD, user should set the power switch
to “OFF”.
2.4 Signal Cable Connection
The signal connections include the connection of input signal cable and the connection of
output signal cable. The details are as follows:
