Getting Started
General
International Datacasting Corporation (IDC) would like to thank you for purchasing the SFX Series SuperFlex Satellite
Receiver (herein referred to as the “satellite receiver”). This Addendum provides the information required to configure
and operate the Pro Audio (1R), or Pro Audio EXP (2R) option in your satellite receiver only. The installation, set up,
control and configuration of your receiver is described in the SFX Series Satellite Receiver User’s Guide.
The illustrations that are provided in this chapter identify indicators and connectors on the satellite receiver in both the
Pro Audio EXP double height and the Pro Audio single height rack mount configuration. Acquaint yourself with these
parts as illustrated, and refer to the physical unit itself. Throughout the remainder of this Addendum, reference will be
made to these parts.
Front Panel
Once you have removed the satellite receiver from the box, please familiarize yourself with the front panel. Refer to
Figure 1- 1 or Figure 1- 2 for the location of the indicators. The differences between the standard SFX receiver’s front
panel and the Pro Audio front panels are described in the table under the figures.

Controlling the Pro Audio with the Front Panel LCD
Display/Keypad Interface
The SFX Series Satellite Receiver Users Manual describes how to set up the receiver using only the keypad and front
panel display. This addendum describes how to set up the receiver Pro Audio items only.
Table 1- 1 lists the items in the display item group of a SFX Series Satellite receiver with the Pro Audio option installed.
Table 1- 2 lists the unique items only appearing in a SFX Series Satellite receiver menu item group with the Pro Audio
option installed. Display item 1 or 2 will generally be displayed during normal operation. From there, you can press the
arrow keys to navigate around the various other display items, or enter the menu item group, as shown in the table by
the item number references and notes for each of the arrow keys.
Pressing the check mark button is generally the same as pressing Enter on a keyboard and commits an action or
selection. Pressing the X button is generally the same as pressing Esc on a keyboard and aborts an action or
selection. The X button is also used to exit from the menu item group back to the to the display item group. When you
are in the display item group, you can press X twice to return to display item 1.
When power is applied to the unit, you will always start the cycle at Menu main item 1 (Carrier A). You are able to
cycle through the main items by using the vertical arrow keys ( ˆ ) or ( ˇ). To examine or change one of the main item
parameters press the check mark button ( √) to enter the sub menu. You can move through the sub menu
parameters by using the horizontal arrow keys (< for back or > forward). If you wish to change a parameter, press the
check mark button ( √) to enter the edit mode or use the vertical arrow keys ( ˆ ) or ( ˇ) which will select it. In the case
of a numeric value, a flashing cursor will appear over one digit. To change that digit, use the vertical arrow keys ( ˆ ) or (
ˇ). To change another digit in this parameter, use the horizontal arrow keys (< for back or > forward) to select it and
repeat. When you have finished, commit your changes by pressing the check mark button (√). If the sub menu item is
not numeric, using the vertical arrow keys ( ˆ ) or ( ˇ) will allow you to cycle through the available settings. Commit your
choice as above. A * beside a displayed selection indicates that this is the current configured value being used by the
receiver.

Live Assist
Selecting the Trigger List menu item from the Audio main page shows a list of all events (see Figure 2 - 3) that are
scheduled to be triggered in the receiver, together with their trigger type and description. This list of events and the
actual triggered actions are made up from triggers provided by your Service Provider.
Triggered Action Types
The triggered actions shown can be to play file, change to a different audio stream or channel on the satellite or to
return to the live stream. The local content played can be organized into Single, Timed Playlist or Percent events and
may be either with or without throwing relay contacts.
1. Single – The receiver executes a single action. Actions may be one of:
•Play File – the receiver plays a file stored on the hard drive and then
returns to the live stream.
•Relay Only – adjust the relay settings for the selected channel.
•Play File and Relay – the receiver executes a combination of the Play Local
Content and Relay Only.
•Return to Live – the receiver returns to the live satellite stream, aborting the
local content playback (if necessary). Note: if the receiver is currently
outputting a satellite channel, RTL will have no effect.
•Set Channel – the receiver tunes the selected player to a new audio
channel.
2. Timed Playlist – The receiver executes a sequential list of actions using their specified start time for control.
The individual actions available are described above.
3. Percent – The receiver executes a single action from a Playlist. The action is selected according to a
percentage chance allocated to each Playlist action. Over the number of times that the receiver is to execute
the action it will only do so the specified percentage of times.
Relay contacts are shown (in Error! Reference source not found.) as ON, OFF, N/A or as a numeric value. This
numeric value is the time in milliseconds that the contacts are activated. Note that NO and NC contacts are available
for all actions and states.
NOTE:
Some choices will
effect changes to
linked
parameters.
e.g. Selecting
PES under Type
will disable the IP
Address and Port
options.

The LiveWire™ Option
About Livewire
Livewire is an Audio-over-IP communications protocol developed and marketed by the Axia Audio division of Telos
Systems. Livewire allows transport of real-time,“live” uncompressed digital audio, plus program associated data (PAD)
and machine remote control over a switched Ethernet network. The same network can also carry file transfers,
messaging and other routine traffic.
Because Livewire makes use of existing Ethernet cabling, an entire facility can be wired in hours, instead of weeks.
Expanding or modifying your system is simple, thanks to Livewire’s inherent scalability and modularity.
How Livewire Works
In a Livewire IP-Audio network, every audio source has a text name and a unique numeric ID. When a source is ready
for use, its presence is “advertised” over the network, and added to the global list of audio sources from which users
can select.
Livewire networks employ two types of audio streams: Livestreams, with small, fast packets for high-priority live audio,
and Standard Streams, with bigger packets for audio file transfers and other non-critical audio. There is no inefficiency
from having both available because all streams stop at the Ethernet switch and take no system network bandwidth
unless they are subscribed to by a receiver. Each receiver takes only the stream it needs, taking the low-delay version
if available, or the standard version if not. The selection happens transparently with no user action needed. Users just
select the channel they want and audio is delivered to the equipment they are using.
To utilize the Livewire outputs, click the Channel Guide main menu tab, select Edit and then select “Audio Player“
under “State” and leave the “Forward” boxes unchecked as shown in Figure 2 - 6. Then under the Configuration main
menu tab, click Livewire Configuration to show the current configuration as shown in Figure 2- 7.
