backup port. The default Redundancy Mode is Off.
To use Input Redundancy you must configure the Primary Input port and the Backup Input
port.
There are 5 modes:
■
Off
■
Manual – you can manually switch between the primary and the backup ports.
■
Manual Revert – the device switches from the primary port to the backup port when the
primary port fails on one of the redundancy triggers and the backup port has no active
alarms. You can revert from the backup port to the primary port manually using the Active
Input menu.
■

Setting Multiplex Cross Connections
The ProView 7000™ device features multiplexing any input stream to different outputs of the
device. The EMS makes it easy to cross connect an input stream, any program in the input
stream or any EMM in the input Conditional Access Tables (CAT). You can cross connect any
program from any input multiplex to any output multiplex as long as there are no programs
from another input multiplex already cross connected to the same output multiplex. You can
cross connect up to four transport streams from the RF and four (4) ASI inputs. You can
connect any physical input to as many multiplex inputs as you want.
Furthermore, the EMS enables multiplexing any input PID, including PIDs in the received
programs, as unreferenced multiplex output PIDs.

10BASE-T
An IEEE standard, sometimes called “Ethernet,” that uses a twisted pair cable, with RJ-45 connectors,
often connected in a star configuration through a hub. The maximum allowable cable length is 328
feet. A 10BASE-T system operates at 10 Mbps. See also 100BASE-T.
100BASE-T
An IEEE standard, sometimes called “Ethernet,” that supports data rates up to 100 Mbps, also known as
Fast Ethernet. 100BASE-T uses twisted pair cable. See also 10BASE-T.
3:2 pulldown
A method that converts 24 frames per second motion picture film frame rate material to 30 frames per
second interlaced video frame rate. This process is normally done by a telecine. It refers to using two
film frames to generate five video fields of interlaced video (1080i or 480i). The first frame is scanned
three times to generate three video fields, the second frame is scanned twice to generate two video
fields, and the cadence continues. Note that every fifth frame will have images from different film
frames. These are termed “dirty frames” as there may be significant differences in the two fields of
video. The 3:2 process can also be applied for 720P progressive video, this results in a 2:3 cadence of
video frames, without the “dirty frame” artifacts.
4:2:0
A component digital system that subsamples chroma components both vertically and horizontally by a
factor of two with respect to luma.
A
AAC LC
Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity.
AC-3
Also known as Dolby Digital.
ACM
A card for the MN20 multiplexer. The ACM supports DES and DVB protocols.

AFD
Active Format Description. Signaling describes certain spatial characteristics of a high definition or
standard definition video image. AFD and Bar Data are intended to be broadcast with the video signal
that they describe. AFD information is intended to assist DTV displays in optimizing the displayed
images. AFD may also be used by intermediate professional video equipment in conversion of video
images of one aspect ratio into an image of another aspect ratio. Bar Data information is used to signal
the precise unused areas of active video when the active image does not completely fill the picture
area, in particular widescreen cinema material carried letterboxed in a frame with bars top and
bottom. AFD is documented by SMPTE 2016 (multiple part document) and its carriage in compressed
video is documented in DVB/ETSI TS 101 154, ATSC A/53 Part 4, ATSC A/72 Part 1, SCTE 128, and other
standards.
AGC
Automatic Gain Control. Keeps the output signal of a circuit constant while the input signal amplitude
varies.
Alarm Indicator
Displayed in the title bar of each web client page of the device. It appears in red when an alarm is
issued and notifies of a fault and of its nature.
AMOL
Automated Measurement of Lineups
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol. Used for communications between network devices. See BOOTP.
ASI
Asynchronous Serial Interface. A DVB-defined electrical interface for carrying MPEG-2 transport
streams at a defined transmission rate within a 270 Mbps carrier.
ATSC
Advanced Television Systems Committee. Establishes standards for digital terrestrial television system
in the US and other countries.
B
balanced audio
Audio that is transmitted differentially, that is, sending the positive and negative signals of an audio
waveform so that the audio arrives undistorted because noise is cancelled out. See also unbalanced
audio.
bandwidth
The maximum amount of data that a transmission device (cable, fiber-optics link, satellite feed, and so
on) is capable of carrying.
BER
Bit Error Rate. The ratio of bits transmitted in error to the total bits sent. For example, a BER of 106
means 1 bit in a million is received in error.
