2. INTRODUCTION
The 3DGFLEX family is a modular headend equipped with a cabinet (3DG-BOX cod.283156) that can house 6 modules and a
Control Unit in order to use and program the centralised unit.
The control unit allows:
- Powering up to 6 modules
- Programming the central unit using the keypad and display on board, or through a Web interface (PC) from a local or
remote network.
- Monitoring in real time the state of the central unit and send signals via email (Controller Host).
- Importing or exporting the central unit conguration via USB.
3DG-4ASI-4T is a module to house in the 3DGFLEX central unit, that generates two pairs of adjacent Multiplexes modulated
according to the DVB-T or DVB-C standards, using the streams received from any RF or USB Input In the same module or any
other module in the central unit cabinet (POOL Technology - see Chapter 2.3).
1. SAFETY WARNINGS

English
Full band modulator: the mux can be modulated on arbitrary frequencies on VHF-S-UHF bands (114 - 858 MHz).
NB: the four mux are not totally independent, but linked to pairs (MUX 1-MUX 2 and MUX 3-MUX 4), channel (or frequency)
parameters, band width and output level: if the output channel of MUX 1 (or MUX 3) is set the output channel of MUX 2 (or
MUX) will be set automatically to the adjacent channel subsequent to the one set for MUX 1 (or MUX 3). However, If the output
channel is set for MUX 2 (or MUX 4) the output channel will be automatically set for MUX 1 (or MUX 3) to the adjacent previous
channel. In the same way, by setting a different bandwidth level or output level for MUX 1 (or MUX 3) the same value will be set
for MUX 2 (or MUX 4) and vice versa.
Each module has 4 satellite inputs (INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3 and INPUT 4) and double slot common interface associated with
any of the module inputs connected in the central unit (POOL technology - see chapter 2.3), which allows decrypting programs
from the same transport stream.
There Is also a USB port to rapidly update the rmware, download and update conguration parameters or to read and
modulate videos in .TS les.
It can be programmed in two of the following ways: base programming using the keypad and LCD display on the control unit,
or complete programming using the web interface connecting with a local or remote PC connected to the LAN port/network
of the control unit. Each 3DG-4ASI-4T module can generate, for each 14/18V input, the tone at 22 KHz and the tone-burst
DISEqC 1.0 to pilot any multiswitches or LNB, and is equipped with short-circuit protection.
The maximum remote power current for the module is 500mA@14V/18V total.

2.3 POOL Technology
The 3DG-4ASI-4T module is part of the evolved 3DGFLEX family. The main innovation is the use of POOL
technology. POOL technology enables total communications between all the EVO modules in the 3DGFLEX.
Communications are two-way and, in fact, any interactive content can be managed and used on any module.
For example: each module can modulate in output any input from any module in the central unit.
This technology enables noteworthy savings in the module resources (e.g. no input with the same frequency)
and greater exibility (the output mux can be composed from any content received in the central unit).

6 WEB INTERFACE
The 3DGFLEX can easily be programmed using the WEB interface, which can be accessed from the PC browser.
It is very important not to congure the 6 modules by using 6 different browsing boards at the same time, as
the CU does not respond to multiple parameter requests from the web, rather it takes the last window opened
as priority and the only one working.
IMPORTANT: in order to access web interface programming, the CU has to be outside the panel menu (logo
3DGex Fracarro shown on the display).
NOTE: the WEB interface could be altered depending on the rmware release loaded in the module.
6.1 WEB INTERFACE CONNECTION
This is the procedure to access the web interface:
1. Connect the PC to the central unit using a RJ-45 CAT-5E cable or passing through a switch.
2. Change the PC or central unit IP address so they are compatible in the same subnet (so they can
communicate).
Example:
a. Parameters set in the properties of the PC Ethernet card:
IP: 192.168.0.3

In this menu the MUX output parameters from the central unit can be changed.
• STANDARD: the modulation standard for the output MUX (DVB-T or DVB-C)
• MODULATOR FREQUENCY: the modulator output frequency can be set according to the frequency in MHz
or by channel according to the standard channelling in the different countries.
NOTE: the output MUX are not independent but are linked to other pairs by the following parameters: output
frequency, bandwidth and output level. Therefore, when these parameters are changed In a multiplex, the
settings of the other mux In the same pair are also Immediately changed. The 2 pairs are divided: MUX1-MUX2
and MUX3-MUX4.
• RF LEVEL: to set the output power in dBuV, in the range foreseen by the technical specication (75 - 95 dbuV).
Below are a few parameters relative to the DVB-T modulation standard:
FEC (1/2 ,2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), guard interval (1/4,1/8,1/16,1/32), constellation (QPSK,16QAM ad 64QAM), number

The left section shows the program list: received from the inputs and the modules, decrypted by the CAMS and
input to the system in a .TS le in a USB drive.
The text box and the dropdown menus at the top of the table allow ltering the program list for an easier search.
The last column is used to set the display mode for the program list: simple, automatically hide duplicated
programs in the case of CAM decryption: if a program comes from an input it Is added in decrypt, only the
decrypted version will be shown. The programs which are not added in decrypt will always be shown, while the
advanced mode shows all the programs regardless of whether they are decrypted on CAM or not.
The other input program columns show respectively: the program name, the module and input it comes from,
the program type (TV, Radio, Data), if reception is free to air or encrypted, if decryption is activated for one of the
two CAMS and the band used by the program (if the relevant box is agged). If the program is used to create one
of the 4 output MUX, the box is automatically agged and the relative band is shown.
To add programs to an output, drag and drop the program name from the input list to the output list. To
do this, click the left button of the mouse over the program in the list and keep it pressed and drag it to
the output table of the MUX and then release the button.
The OUTPUT columns in the table on the right show:
The program name, the input and module it comes from, the program priority (the lower the number the higher
the priority), the assigned LCN value (0 if not specied), the assigned LCN HD value (0 if not specied), the band
used. The position (or priority) determines the importance of the programs and, therefore, which will be cut rst
if there is a bitrate overow, for example: 1 = top priority, therefore the most Important program and the one to
save (see the paragraph Programming Indications).
The LCN and LCN HD parameters must be set so that each generated output program, including among a
number of devices, has a distinct value. If this is not to be specied, enter 0.
To remove a program from the output list click on X in the right hand column (ACTIONS).
The bottom part of the table shows the estimated band used by the programs (sum of programs, excluding the
TS and PID common tables) in output and the indication of the total viewed programs.
By clicking on the icon <properties> in the right hand column, access is given to more advanced program settings.
By clicking on <program properties>, the following window will appear
In the rst table, the program parameters can be changed by writing directly in the blank space, such as: name,
provider SID, the PMT PID. When a parameter has been changed it can be reset (returning to the original shown
in the second column) by clicking on the arrow on the right. The last parameter in the list opens a dropdown

menu to select whether the program is declared as free to air, or encrypted by the decoder:
• Always automatic: the program is declared as free to air automatically if it is decrypted by the CAM.
• Always yes: the program is always declared as free to air even If it is not decrypted by the CAM.
• Always no: the program is always declared as encrypted, even If it is decrypted by the CAM.
• Unchanged: the program is declared free to air if it is not changed or if it is not sent to the CAM for decryption.
The second table is to manage the PID list. The PID values can be changed by entering the values in the
appropriate spaces as follows: PCR video stream, audio stream, teletext, MHP, application information table.
In the last column in this table, by clicking on the symbol, certain actions can be performed on each program PID:
Delete the PID (the deleted PID line is highlighted grey), reinstate the PID, change the PID.
Note: Click on “Apply” to save the changes.
