NOTE: The unit can carry IP “data” in one direction for addition of data to the
internal video. Data is presented on a separate PID.
NOTE: IP IN (the extraction of ASI from an IP Video stream) and IP OUT
(encapsulation of ASI into Ethernet), and IP data are chargeable licensed
options.
Licenses are field upgradeable. You can enter additional licenses in the field –
please contact factory for further information & pricing.
IP IN can be used as an external source to the modulator or multiplexed with the
internal encoder to form a multiple service.
IP OUT function enables ASI transmission over Ethernet networks rather than RF
over satellite or microwave.
The source for the IP output can independently come from either the internal
encoder (after multiplexer, so could be two or more services) or the external ASI
connector.
The unit supports multicast and, if the destination address is set in a multicast
address range 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 inclusive, automatically

5.6. RF1 Output
The RF1 Output connector is a 50ΩN-type connector that provides the prime RF
output at L-band.
Maximum output is +5dBm.
For systems with high gain, you can configure the maximum output to -5dBm
for a 0dB reading from the front panel.
The control range is 40dB. You may adjust this continuously during transmission.
The recommended system operation level is -10dB, read from the front panel, to
ensure an adequate control range and the best linearity of the system.
You can add a 10MHz precision reference signal to the L-band output, set using
the RF OPTIONS > BUC DC menu. This provides a reference HPAs or SPPAs.
Ensure this option is disabled when not in use.
WARNING: The RF1 connector can have DC present.
5.7. RF2 Output
This 50ΩN-type connector provides an L-band –30dB+/-3dB reduced output,
relative to the L-band at the RF connector.
This monitor connector provides connection to a local IRD or spectrum analyser.
NOTE: No DC or 10MHz reference is present at this connector.
5.8. ASI Input
This 75ΩBNC enables the multiplexing of an external ASI stream with the
internal “service” of the exciter.
The internal service (encoder) may be turned off from the REMUX menu option.
This allows you to use the DVE6100 Exciter as a ‘modulator’, but has a
multiplexer overhead.
For true modulator only mode, purchase a “modulator” licence. This license
reduces the overhead.
See multiplexer option in “Operation Guide” section of this manual.
5.9. Combiner IN
This 50ΩTNC connector provides a 950 - 2150MHz input port. This allows the
internal encoder / modulator / L-band up-converter to combine the signal or
signals.
The combiner is “passive” to prevent corruption of the combined signal should
the DVE6100 Exciter fail.
The combiner has a loss of approximately 6dB. Allow for the loss in the settings
of any external additional carrier(s).
The L-band monitor output comes after the combining process.
No DC or 10MHz pass-through is available on this connector.
NOTE: Terminate the combiner input with 50Ωwhen not in use.

5.10. Ethernet/USB Ports
Use the Ethernet port to remote control the DVE6100 Exciter. Access to the
service is via the internal web server using a standard web browser or SNMP.
Use the USB port for licence and software upgrades. License upgrades enable
additional functionality for the DVE6100 Exciter.
Section 8 provides upgrade information and contact details to buy additional
licenses directly from Vislink or from your local representative.
5.11. IP Video (future option)
This Ethernet port is used for “IP encapsulated” ASI transport streams.
The port is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet.

The menu option ASI SRC defines the source of the ASI for encapsulation. This
can be either from, the external ASI connector EXT ASI, the output of the
internal encoder MUX O/P or OFF.
A defined destination address is required to direct Ethernet packets. This is
entered at DEST IP.
As the source of the IP encapsulator could be the output of the internal encoder.
This, in turn, could be a multiplex of several ASI signals. You can stream multiple
ASI channels over one IP path. You can decode separate ASI signals at a remote
location using service names to extract the various services in the same manner
as if it was a direct ASI connection.
Depending on the amount of FEC applied, you can stream approximately 80Mb/s
total over 100M Ethernet.
Encapsulation type ENC TYP the choices are UDP only or RTP/UDP.
You can configure the IP video to cross networks using the default gateway and
sub-net mask setup parameters.
The unit supports Multicast and automatically enables it if the destination
address is set in a multicast address range 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255
inclusive.
5.11.2. IP to ASI
The DVE6100 can de-encapsulate ASI from an incoming RTP IP stream by
selecting the appropriate PORT number.
The external IP source should have its destination address set to that of the
Ethernet PHY of the receiving DVE6100 Exciter; this is set on the IP Ethernet
menu.
IP IN takes the de-encapsulated ASI and multiplexes with the internal encoder(s)
to form a multiservice stream. For multiplexing information, see Section 7.1.5.
You can convert IP Video independently of the encoding functions of the
DVE6100 Exciter. Achieve this by selecting the units ASI output source selection
to be IP.
