IQMDMO MPEG-2 Decoder
with MOLE™ Output
Module Description
The IQMDMO is a full broadcast quality MPEG-2
decoder with MOLE™ output. It supports multi-
standard 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 video decoding (up to
MP@ML and 4:2:2 Profile@ML) on dual SDI
outputs. The decoder accepts both single and
multi-program transport streams (SPTS and
MPTS) on two selectable Asynchronous Serial
Interface (ASI) inputs. Frame-accurate genlocked
output synchronization is featured as standard.
Audio decoding of MPEG-1 Layer II and direct
pass-through of AC-3 streams are supported by up
to four unbalanced digital audio outputs.
Teletext received to DVB standard EN 300 472
may be inserted into the VBI of the SDI output in
accordance with ETS 300 706.
Standardized as SMPTE 319M and 327M,
MOLE™ Technology enables an MPEG-2 decoder
to pass the encoding decisions from the original
encoding to any subsequent encoder through the
SDI signal. MPEG signals decoded with the
IQMDMO can then be manipulated in the same
manner as SDI video, allowing edits, wipes,
crossfades and digital effects to be performed. It is
then possible to re-encode with a MOLE™-
compliant encoder using the original coding
decisions with no loss of quality. It also enables
transcoding to be more transparent and flexible
enough to handle any constant or variable bitrate
input, with 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 video.
The IQMDMO accepts all current standard
definition formats used by DVB, ATSC and ARIB.
Its reduced size provides a highly cost-effective
solution for both single and multi-channel video
decoding where space is limited (e.g. OB trucks).
Multi-channel capability makes the decoder fully
suited for broadcast play-out operations where
several MPEG feeds need to be switched and
mixed along with uncompressed sources using
conventional digital video studio equipment:
contribution, distribution, head-end, regional
affiliate systems, etc.
RollCall remote control and logging system is
available as standard, allowing video and audio
fault or warning conditions to be reported and
logged over RollCall.
As standard, a full frame genlocking synchronizer
allows the outputs to be locked to an external
analogue reference to allow simple installation.
Alternatively, the outputs can be locked to the
incoming MPEG time reference.
The card features four unbalanced digital audio
outputs (AES/EBU). The audio circuit is capable of
decoding up to four MPEG1 Layer I/II (ISO 13818-
3) simultaneously. It can also pass-through up to
four Dolby Digital AC-3 streams (SMPTE 340M).
Any of the four AES audio outputs can be selected
for embedding into the output video in accordance
with SMPTE 272M.
The two ASI input interfaces can be configured to
automatically select between the two inputs upon
input signal loss (e.g. broken cable) as well as
automatically invert the ASI input(s) in cases where
the ASI signal(s) has become inverted by some
external process

AES OUTPUT
These menu items independently control the type of
streams to be decoded or output to each of the 4
available AES/EBU serial digital audio outputs.
Available streams
This window displays, within the context of the “Audio
mode” selection, the available streams that can be
decoded for the currently selected audio mode. Where
manual stream selection is selected, all possible private
streams are listed to allow selection of audio streams
that may not have been properly flagged as audio.
PID
This field displays the currently selected audio stream
PID being decoded or streamed to the corresponding
AES/EBU serial output.
Language
This field displays the language, where indicated in the
stream, of the currently selected audio stream for the
corresponding AES/EBU serial output.
Bit rate
This field displays the bitrate of the currently selected
audio stream for the corresponding AES/EBU serial
output, as indicated by the stream.
Sample rate
This field displays the audio sample rate of the currently
selected audio stream for the corresponding AES/EBU
serial output, as indicated by the stream.
Delay
This function allows the output delay to be adjusted
so that video and audio signals may be
synchronized.
The delay may be adjusted over a maximum range
of ±1000 ms* in steps of 1 ms. (*Note that the
overall adjustment range will depend on the input
stream)
A text indicator shows the ‘OK’ / ‘Late’ status.
Preferred language
This field selects the language for the stream to be
selected in the auto selection modes.
Auto action
This field controls what happens on the
corresponding output when there is no signal
available for that output. The options are:
•Auto tone -If no signal is available then the
output produces a valid tone signal (250Hz
tone on the left channel and 500Hz tone on the
right).
•Auto mute -If no signal is available then the
output produces a valid digital mute signal.
•Auto disable -If no signal is available then the
output is disabled.
Output test mode
•Tone -Drive the output with a 250Hz tone on
the left channel and 500Hz tone on the right.
•Mute -Drive the output with a valid digital mute
signal.
•Disable -Disable the output.
Audio mode
This field controls the type of audio stream to be
decoded or streamed to the corresponding output. The
options are:
•Layer I/II auto: This mode causes the audio
decoder to automatically select an audio stream
corresponding to the language set in the “Preferred
language” field. If no such stream is available the
output behaves according to the “Auto action” field.
•Layer I/II manual: This mode causes the audio
decoder to select an audio stream that is manually
selected from the “Available streams” window. If
no stream is selected then the output behaves
according to the “Auto action” field.
•AC-3 auto language: This mode causes the
automatic selection of an AC-3 audio stream
corresponding to the language set in the
“Preferred language” field to be streamed out
to the corresponding AES output. If no such
stream is available then the output behaves
according to the “Auto action” field.
•AC-3 manual: This mode causes the audio
decoder to select an AC-3 audio stream that is
manually selected from the “Available streams”
window. If no stream is selected then the
output behaves according to the “Auto action”
field.

Audio Embedding
There are 8 slots (output pairs) available within the
video for embedding audio.
Each slot is configurable for embedding any one of
the 4 AES outputs by checking the appropriate
Output Pair/AES 1, 2, 3, 4 output box or no
embedding by checking the None box.
Enable Audio Embedding
When this box is selected the audio embedding
selections will be enabled; when unchecked audio
embedding will be disabled.
NOTE: Audio embedding is only operative when
using the MPEG lock mode (because audio must
be locked to the video).

MEMORY MENU
This allows the complete configuration of the
module to be stored or retrieved in one of 4 locally
held configuration memories.
It has the following fields:
Memory Recall
This field contains one button for each of the 4
locally stored configuration memories. Pressing
one of these buttons causes all of the control
parameters of the module to be recalled from the
selected memory.
N.B. Loading from one of the configuration
memories will cause all of the current parameter
settings to be lost. No warning is given when this
happens. If you wish to return to the current state,
the settings must first be saved in another of the
configuration memories (Memory Save).
Memory Save
This field contains one button for each of the 4
locally stored configuration memories. Pressing
one of these buttons causes the current state of all
the control parameters of the module to be saved
to the selected configuration memory.
Memory Default
This field contains one button for each of the 4
locally stored configuration memories. Pressing
one of these buttons causes the factory default
settings to be restored to the selected configuration
memory.
N.B. Restoring default settings to a memory will
overwrite any previous settings. No warning is
given when this happens.
Memory Names
This allows the naming of the four memory
locations.
To change a name, type the new name in the text
area and select ➨(return)
Selecting P(Preset) returns to the default names.
