(NEMA 5-15P Configuration)
Cord Type SJT, three 16 or 18 AWG wires
Length Less than 2.5 m (8 ft. 3 in.)
Rating Minimum 10A, 125 V
Using this unit at a voltage other than 120 V may require the
use of a different line cord or attachment plug, or both. To
reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, refer servicing to

For the customers in the United Kingdom
WARNING
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
This wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green-and-yellow:Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter E or by the safety earth symbol Yor coloured green or
green-and-yellow.

Features
The DSM-R1 Digital Satellite Demodulator
demodulates analog video and audio input signals into
digital signals. This demodulator enables an SNG
(Satellite News Gathering) system in combination with
the DSM-T1 Digital Satellite Modulator.
The following are some of the features of the DSM-
R1.
Easy Installation
The DSM-R1 provides easy connection with an
existing SNG system via the L-band input.
High quality compression algorithm
MPEG2 4:2:2 profile at Main Level (4:2:2 P@ML)
ensures superior picture quality at 18 MHz
transmission bandwidth.
Direct digital transmission at up to twice
real time
The DSM-R1 enables transmission at up to twice real
time speed at 36 MHz transmission bandwidth with
connection of a DNW-A100/A100P digital video
cassette recorder through the SDTI 1) (Serial Data
Transport Interface). This feature contributes to
increase of news gathering productivity.
Optional interface boards available
The BKSM-R101 SDTI Output Board, the BKSM-
R102 SDI Output Board, and the BKSM-R103 Analog
Output Board provide flexible choices of installing one
or two boards to this unit.
Two-program Transmission
Two multiplexed video and audio signals can be
received and separated into video and audio signals.
This contributes to lower transmission costs.
1) SDTI is defined as SMPTE 305M.

Setting a password
Set a password for the unit so that it matches that of
the DSM-T1. If the password of the unit does not
match that of the DSM-T1, the “PASSWORD
INCORRECT” warning message appears in the
display window of the unit and no audio/video signals
are output from the unit.
If the PASSWORD of the DSM-T1 is set to “OFF” in
the menu, this unit outputs the audio/video signals
