§1 Introduction
§1.1 Functionality
LAVISION-868FTA is a new generation ofRF-to-IP adapter, which can receive and demodulate eight
channels of DVB-S/S2,DVB-C and ISDB RF input signals, and then multiplex, scramble and process it
with channel coding. It adopts our newly developed functions such as “Module Management”, device
scrambling, and channel modulation. The flexible customization and high expansibility can satisfy the
user‟s current and future DTV system requirements.
The module management opens the scrambling function and configures the numbers of output
modulation channel through software authorization, as shown in the table below:

§2 Before Use the Device
§2.1 Operation Requirements
In order to ensure proper operation of LAVISION-868FTA, there are some requirements for other digital
TV and network devices, which will connect withLAVISION-868FTA. Please see below for details:
§2.1.1 Requirements for Digital TV Devices
The RF output signals of the devices, which will provide signal source to or receive signal from
LAVISION-868FTA should comply withDVB-S/S2 modulation standard, and the input frequency range is
from 950MHz to 2150MHz.. The device which will receive output signal from LAVISION-868FTA, should
comply with
the following standards:
Transport Stream (TS): This means that the TS stream with one or more channels of digital TV, digital
audio broadcasting or any other digital TV services should comply with DVB standard; it must contain
PAT and PMT tables, which can completely describe the services.
The TS stream could be transmitted through ASI/Ethernet interface. For output IP interface, the TS
packets must be encapsulated into UDP datagram. Each output TS should have unique destination IP
address (unicast or multicast) and port number. The length of the UDP payload must be 7*188Byte (TS
packets), and the payload must be synchronized by sync byte 0x47.The TS stream (except the stream
with UDP format) also can be output fromASI interface, with standard format of 188 byte.
LAVISION-868FTA may be able to receive multiple transport streams from any devices with the TS
format complies with the above-mentioned format.
§2.1.2 Requirements for Network Devices
The switch used for the LAVISION-868FTAdata output and its destination devices (the IPQAM modulator
shown in figure 3)must be a Layer 3 gigabit switch, indispensability to support IGMP2.0. The backboard
exchange speed must be higher than 10Gbps; the maximum data exchange speed of each port must be
higher than 1000Mbps.
The switch for the LAVISION-868FTA and the managing workstation should be a 100M or gigabit switch,
the maximum data exchange speed of each port must be higher than 40Mbps. Normally, It can be the
same switch of data output,the two ports need to be configured to different VLANs.
Any hosts that may worsen the network traffic, such as some workstations or servers installed real-time
communication tools, streaming media server or WEB server, must not be located at the LAN switch of
the output of LAVISION-868FTA. These additional signals may cause packet loss, network jitter
worsening, and hence due to audio/video distortion at the audiences.
§2.2 System Requirements
Management workstation must have network connection and support TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft
Windows 2000/XP (or higher versions) and Internet Explorer 6.0 (or higher version) are the
recommended operating systems of the management workstation, and JavaScript must be supported by
the web browser.

§3 Operating the Device
§3.1 Quick Start
Please follow the procedures below if it is the first time for you to useLAVISION-868FTA for
constructingDTV head-end system:
1、Construct your hardware environment, including chassis installation, power supply system
deployment, and connecting switches, LAVISION-868FTA, the source device(s)(e.g. satellite
modulator or LNB module installed on satellite receiving antenna etc.), the destination device(s),
management workstation, and CAS server (refer to Fig. 3)
2、Plan for the IP addresses of management port and data output port, the cable connectors of
each source/destination devices; as well as number of digital TV transport streams. It is strongly
recommended to take note of device addresses, port numbers and other configurations and
keep them safely for checking purposes in future
3、Boot up each source devices of LAVISION-868FTA and configure the operating parameters, in
order to ensure the proper signal receiving/decoding of RF signals. Please refer to the user
manuals of source devices provided by their suppliers for detailed configuration.
4、Boot up LAVISION-868FTA. If you have known the management port IP address of the
LAVISION-868FTA you are currently using, and when it is in the same subnet with the
management workstation, you may also start configuring LAVISION-868FTA from the
management workstation directly. Otherwise you will need to configure the IP address of
management port using front panel control (refer to section §3.2.10.1)
5、Login to the web browser from the management workstation, key in the default user name
“admin” and password “000000”; add and configure usernames and passwords of users allowed
to access the device (refer to section0)
6、Configure the port number and IP address of LAVISION-868FTA data output (refer to section
§3.2.10.2)
7、Search for input programs tree (refer to section §3.2.5.1), configure the output program settings
of LAVISION-868FTA, including: select input program for output stream(refer to section, output
mode), output program parameter; configure the PID mapping parameters if needed (refer to
section).
8、If there are scrambled programs in the system, you need configure the CA operating parameters
as well. (refer to section).
9、Configure the destination devices of LAVISION-868FTA, to adjust the network settings, multiplex
& scramble settings and modulation settingsof IPQAM. Please refer to the user manuals of
succeeding devices provided by their suppliers for detailed configuration.
