Chapter 2 Introduction The Harmonic DiviCom Electra 5400 MPEG-4 AVC Standard Definition Multiservice Encoder series uses the MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC), also known as ITU-T H.264, standard to compress its video inputs. It accepts up to four standard definition (SD) video inputs, and up to ten stereo pairs of analog or digital audio inputs. The encoder output is MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) transmitted over IP transport. This chapter describes:

Operating Environment The encoder operates under the control of NMX™ Digital Service Manager or in standalone mode using Configuration Manager. NMX manages multiple DiviCom Electra 5400 encoders and other devices. NMX provides full configuration of the DiviCom Electra 5400 platform, ports, services, and PSI, as well as alarm management. You configure a few initial network settings from the front of the encoder. The encoder operates within an IP environment; therefore, encoders and multiplexers do not need to be in the same physical location. Harmonic recommends discussing your planned network architecture with a Harmonic representative before implementation.

2.2

General Features Table 2-1 describes general features ed by the Electra 5400. See the following tables for more information about video and audio compression. NOTE: Internal Electra encoder audio boards only one audio codec at a time. The three pairs of audio channels must use AC-3, MPEG2, or AAC audio, not a mixture of both. If more than one codec is required you must use an AIC card. through can be conducted on any codec. For example, you can do MPEG L2 compression on the first pair and AC3 through on the second pair.

of bits on a frame-by-frame basis, driven by picture complexity information from the LookAhead™ analysis. By asg priorities, you can specify channels that must maintain a high quality when stress on the system increases. NOTE: DiviTrackIP is not ed on BNG multiplexers. The DiviCom Electra 5400 encoder works in conjunction with NMX and a ProStream™ 1000 to DiviTrackIP. The ProStream 1000 analyzes the complexity of all incoming video streams and sends messages to the encoders through the IP network. All streams from an DiviCom Electra 5400 encoder must be sent to the same ProStream 1000. Table 2-8 provides DiviTrack IP pool specifications.

Digital Program Insertion The DiviCom Electra 5400 encoder s digital program insertion (DPI). DiviCom Electra 5400 accepts external automation system DPI commands (triggers) via Ethernet. These commands are sent via the SCTE 104 protocol, and result in the encoder placing SCTE 35 DPI messages in the outgoing MPEG Transport Stream (TS). (The DiviCom Electra 5400 also accepts commands via the SCTE DVS/525 draft protocol.) The resulting messages carry metadata used by downstream content insertion equipment to choose and insert the proper content. When using an external automation system, that system provides the metadata values via the SCTE 104 commands. The metadata is included in the resulting SCTE 35 messages, which are placed in the outgoing MPEG Transport Stream. DiviCom Electra 5400 also s an internal DPI implementation that uses an SL-10 closure interface. The encoder uses an Omnitronix SL-10 closure device as a trigger. Each closure event triggers the DiviCom Electra 5400 to place one or more SCTE 35 messages in the outgoing MPEG transport stream. These messages comply with the CableLabs Level 1 Profile for DPI operation, and carry the following values for the these metadata fields (defined in SCTE 35): ■

out_of_network_indicator and duration_flag are both set.

■

The value of the duration field in break_duration() is 0.

■

unique_program_id and splice_event_id are set to 1.

■

avail and avail_count are set to 0.

The splicer hardware is responsible for the return to network operation after a splice event.

Chapter 2 Introduction

HHP

NOTE: Operation under the CableLabs Level 1 profile has been deprecated by SCTE DVS in the adoption of SCTE 118-2.

2.9

HHP Harmonic Heartbeat Protocol (HHP) is a proprietary Harmonic protocol used to prevent duplicate IP output after a redundancy switch and to initiate a redundancy switch in some 1x1 hot backup scenarios. HHP packets are sent over a unique multicast address on the video IP network. In some redundancy switches, NMX may not be able to shut down the IP output from the primary device. For example, if the connection between the device and NMX is lost, NMX issues a time-out alarm for the device and provisions the backup device with the circuits from the primary device. However, the primary device may still be operating normally even though it lost communication with NMX. In this case, you now have two devices sending the same output. To prevent this scenario, enable HHP. When you enable HHP, a backup device taking over in a redundancy switching event will send a command (over a unique multicast address on the video IP network) to turn off the outputs of the formerly active device. During a redundancy switch, the backup device assumes all responsibilities of the primary device, including sending HHP messages at the same multicast address. If a primary device detects HHP messages sent to its multicast IP address, it immediately backs off and stops sending output. This leaves the backup device free to operate without the primary device sending the same output. In 1x1 hot backup configurations, the HHP protocol can also initiate a redundancy switch. In this case, the backup device monitors the primary device by listening for HHP messages. If the backup device does not detect an HHP message from the primary device during a specified interval, it initiates a redundancy switch and assumes operation as the primary device.

2.10

Closed Captions The CEA-708/608 captions include space for CEA-608 data and that the encoder can receive them either via serial port (SMPTE 333M compliant, one service per chassis) or in VANC (SMPTE 334-1 compliant, one service per encoder mounted). These captions are placed into the video elementary stream per either ATSC or North American DBS methods

2.10.1

Japanese Standard Closed-Captions The Electra 7000 provides for Japanese standard captions as well as the existing for CEA-708 captions via SMPTE 333 and SMPTE 334-1 inputs. The Electra 7000 encoder s the closed-caption feature where the closed-caption data is generated within the ancillary data space and is extracted by the encoder for processing. The Vertical Ancillary Data Space (VANC) packets adhere to the ARIB STD-B37 standard (Structure and Operation of Closed Caption Data Conveyed by Ancillary Data Packets).

Audio Input Ports The Electra 5400 can be configured with a combination of onboard audio, AIC, and AHC.

2.12.2.1 AIC Adapter Each AIC has two digital audio input ports (BNC connectors). The encoder s up to five AICs. Two BNC ports AES3 or S/PDIF to provide the stereo digital audio input to the AIC module. Figure 2-3 illustrates the audio input ports on an AIC. Figure 2-3: Audio input ports

Digital Audio Input Port 1

Digital Audio Input Port 2

2.12.2.2 AHC Adapter The AHC has four connectors, but performs no audio processing itself. Rather, the AHC normally hosts a daughter card (RAC or 561) that performs audio compression processing. The AHC can also provide native AES inputs for onboard audio (also called the AHC-BASE). In this arrangement only three of its four connectors are used. Four BNC ports AES3 or S/PDIF to provide multi-channel stereo digital audio inputs to the AHC module. The daughter card is either a Harmonic RAC card or a Dolby CAT 561 card. A daughter card includes an RJ45 connector that can be used to supply Dolby audio metadata. Figure 2-4 illustrates the ports on the AHC-RAC.

Figure 2-4: AHC-RAC digital audio input ports NOTE: When the AHC BASE provides native AES inputs to the onboard audio, only three digital audio ports are available for use since onboard audio s only a single 5.1 service. Figure 2-5 illustrates the ports on the AHC-561 card.

Back LEDs

Video Input Ports The back contains up to four video input ports. These are BNC coaxial ports that standard definition serial digital video input. Each video input port connects internally to a video processing card (VPC) The video processing cards are not visible from the encoder back . See 3.5.3 Connecting the Video Input Cables on page 29 for cabling instructions.

2.12.4

IP Output Port One 100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port provides two redundant IP output channels. The two RJ45 connectors are labeled GbE PRI and BKUP. The IP output port s manual redundancy. The port also s hot/warm standalone redundancy: when the primary IP data channel detects a cable disconnection, the primary channel stops outputting, and the backup channel takes over. In manual redundancy, you can enable one channel or both channels. If you enable one channel, you must manually switch to the other channel after a service-affecting alarm. If you enable both channels, the encoder outputs the same data from both channels. See 3.5.4 Connecting the IP Output Cables on page 29 for cabling instructions. Set the IP address and other network information for the IP output ports using NMX.

2.12.5

Ethernet Management Port The Ethernet management port, labeled ETH, is 10/100 Base-T and uses an RJ-45/UTP cable to connect to an Ethernet network. See 3.5.5 Connecting the Ethernet Management Cable on page 29 for cabling instructions. See A.3.1 Ethernet Management Port on page 42 for pinout information.

2.12.6

Fault Relay Port The fault relay port connects to a Form C relay that can switch up to 0.25 amps at 30 VDC. See A.3.2 Fault Relay Port on page 42 for port pinout and additional information. The encoder energizes the fault relay during normal operation. The fault condition is indicated in the same way as the encoder’s powered-off condition, which is with the relay de-energized. You can use this method to correctly identify a power supply failure or loss of input power. The signals are normally open or normally closed. NOTE: Any alarm causes the fault relay to change to the fault state. When multiple alarms accumulate, all alarms must be active for the relay state to change.

2.12.7

Serial Data Port The serial data port can be used for serial CEA-708 captions per SMPTE 333.

3.5.2

Connecting the Audio Input Cables An encoder may have up to five audio input cards (AICs), each of which has two stereo digital audio ports , or up to five audio host cards (AHC, AHC-RAC, or AHC-561), each of which has four stereo digital audio ports. When the encoder is equipped with an AHC-RAC used to native AES input only three of the four digital audio ports on a card can be used at one time. To connect the audio cables: ■

Connect a coaxial cable with a BNC connector from the digital audio port to the audio source. On each AIC, the digital audio ports are labeled DGTL AUD1 and DGTL AUD2. On each AHC, the digital audio ports are labeled DGTL AUD1, DGTL AUD2. DGTL AUD3, and DGTL AUD4. For multi-channel audio, use three cables to connect the surround mix, connecting L/R to DGTL AUD1, C/Lfe to DGTL AUD2, and Ls/Rs to DGTL AUD3, which maps the channels to AES3 pairs as defined by SMPTE 320M. If the encoder is equipped with an AHC-RAC, then one more stereo pair can be connected to DGTL AUD4. Otherwise the fourth connector is not used.

Cabling the Encoder

Connecting the Video Input Cables Your encoder has up to four video input ports. The video input ports accept serial digital video. To connect the video cables: 1. Connect a coaxial cable with a BNC connector from the first video source to the Video 1 port on the encoder. 2. Continue connecting the additional video sources to the remaining video ports.

3.5.4

Connecting the IP Output Cables The encoder has one IP output port with two redundant channels and two RJ-45 connectors. NOTE: The network hosting the IP output traffic must be a different network from your management network and must be configured with a different IP address. NOTE: Harmonic recommends that shielded and grounded Ethernet cables be used on all Ethernet ports.

To connect the IP output cables: 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the primary IP output port to a port on a network switch or router, not a hub. 2. Optionally, connect the backup IP output port to a different switch or router to facilitate redundancy. 3. Configure the Ethernet switch to autonegotiation by setting each port to “set speed auto” and “set duplex auto.” NOTE: Failure to properly configure the Ethernet switch could result in a mismatch between the IP output and the switch. Harmonic s 10/100/1000 Base-T and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3as standards.

3.5.5

Connecting the Ethernet Management Cable The Ethernet management port allows communication between NMX and the encoder. To connect the Ethernet management cable: ■

Connect an RJ-45/UTP cable from the encoder’s back 10/100 Base-T port to a port on an Ethernet switch.

NOTE: The network hosting the IP output traffic should be a different network from your management network.

3.5.6

Connecting the AC Power The encoder AC power supply uses autosensing to adjust to different incoming voltages. CAUTION: This product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 20 A U.S. (240 VAC, 20 A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

How to maintain and replace the air filters and fuse

■

How to Harmonic

Air Filters The encoder uses two air filters to minimize dust and dirt in the circuitry and components in the chassis. These filters are made of flexible, compressed fiber spun from urethane foam. Installed in the front of the encoder, the filters are fire retardant and conform to UL 900 Class II specifications. The bezel filter is located inside the front bezel, on the left side. Figure 5-1 shows the dimensions of the bezel filter. The notches on the left side and the cutouts in the middle can fit on either side of the front bezel mounting posts.

1.64 inches 5.32 inches

Figure 5-1: Bezel filter (front view) The keypad filter is located behind the front keypad. Figure 5-2 shows the keypad filter. 0.25 inches 1.64 inches 6.45 inches

Figure 5-2: Keypad filter (front view)

5.1.1

Maintaining the Air Filters The operating environment of the encoder plays a large factor in determining the life of the air filters. Encoders that operate in dusty and dirty surroundings require more frequent inspections and filter cleaning than those operating in cleaner environments. Inspect and clean the filters with a frequency that is appropriate to the environment in which the encoder operates. Harmonic recommends inspecting and cleaning the filters every six weeks to ensure proper airflow through the chassis. To clean dust and dirt from the filters, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt, or you can rinse the filters in water. You can also use soaps or mild detergents on the filters. If you rinse the filters in water, make sure that you squeeze the excess water from them before reinstalling them in the encoder. You might need to order replacement filters if the filters become too dirty over time.

Fuse

Removing and Replacing the Air Filters You do not need to turn off the encoder when removing and replacing the air filters.

5.1.2.1

Removing and Replacing the Bezel Filter To remove the front left filter from behind the front bezel: 1. Grasp each side of the encoder’s front bezel with your hands. 2. Carefully remove the front bezel by pulling it away from the encoder. 3. Remove the filter from inside the front bezel. 4. Inspect the air filter for dirt, and clean it if necessary. NOTE: When the filter is new, its color is medium charcoal. As dust and dirt collect in the porous filter material, the filter’s color gradually changes to brown, then an ash color. 5. Replace the filter inside the front bezel. Place the filter so that the long horizontal slot is at the bottom edge. Carefully place the cutouts in the filter around the bezel mounting posts. 6. Carefully replace the front bezel on the encoder making sure the filter does not fall out of the bezel.

5.1.2.2

Removing and Replacing the Keypad Filter To remove the air filter from behind the keypad: 1. Grasp each side of the encoder front bezel with your hands. 2. Carefully remove the front bezel by pulling it away from the encoder. Note the location of the filter. The keypad is screwed onto the front of the encoder through four mounting posts. Cutouts on the filter wrap around the four posts, and the right side of the filter extends past the keyboard. 3. Remove the filter by pulling the left side of the filter up and away from the keyboard mounting posts, then pulling up the right side. 4. Inspect the air filter for dirt, and clean it if necessary. 5. Replace the filter by inserting the right side of the filter behind the keypad, with the vertical slots around the mounting posts. 6. Insert the left side of the filter, placing the horizontal cutouts around the mounting posts. 7.

5.2

Carefully replace the front bezel on the encoder making sure the filter does not fall out of the bezel.

Fuse Encoders use a slow blow 4.0 A, 250 V fuse, 5 x 20 mm. The fuse is located on the back beside the power input. A spare fuse is located in the fuse cover, shown in Figure 5-3.

NOTE: Changing from non-single-channel mode to single-channel mode provisions the transport bit rate automatically. When you change between single-channel and non-single-channel modes, the encoder automatically provisions the bit rate to the closest available bit rate. In some cases, this means the bit rate is lower because provisioning does not increase the bit rate defined for the port. Therefore, changing the coding mode from non-single-channel mode to any of the four highest bit rates causes the encoder to provision the bit rate to 192 Kbps. In the case of the three lowest bit rates, when you change from single-channel to non-singlechannel mode, because the bit rate is the lowest available, the encoder provisions to the next highest available bit rate, 64 Kbps. If you set the bit rate to 80 Kbps and then change the coding mode to non-single-channel, the encoder provisions the bit rate to 64 Kbps.

Assembling the DC Input Power Cable

E.6 Assembling the DC Input Power Cable To assemble the DC input power cable: 1. Prepare the power wires as specified in E.4 Wiring Requirements on page 55. 2. Use the disconnect device to make sure that the power supply from the DC power source to the cables is switched off. CAUTION: Turn off the power before proceeding with these instructions. 3. Unplug the WAGO power connector from the power socket on the encoder back . 4. Identify the three wires coming from the DC power source that are used in the connection to the expansion unit: ❑

–Vin

❑

+Vin

❑

GND

5. Strip up to 0.3 inches (8 mm) of insulation from each of the wires coming from the DC power source. Do not strip more than this length from each wire. Stripping more leaves uninsulated wire exposed outside the DC connector after the assembly is complete. 6. Insert a small screwdriver into the rectangular hole directly above the hole in the DC connector where you want to insert the first cable and press down on the screwdriver. This opens the cage clamp for this section of the DC plug connector. NOTE: WAGO also sells tools specifically designed to open cage clamps easily. For more information, either visit the WAGO web site at www.wago.com, or call WAGO at 1-800-346-7245 and request information about items 210-250 or 231-131. 7.

Feed the exposed section of the wire into the matching hole in the DC plug connector, as shown in Figure E-3

Figure E-3: DC power connector detail 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for the other two wires to complete the assembly of the DC input cable. NOTE: If you need to remove a wire from the DC plug connector, insert a small screwdriver into the slot directly above the wire and press down on the screwdriver to free the wire from the cage clamp.

Appendix F DiviCom™ FLEX Decoding Module F.1 Introduction The DiviCom FLEX decoding module delivers video decoding capability and is integrated into either the Electra or Ion encoder chassis. The FLEX decoding module (hereafter refer to as the FLEX module) is a decoding module only (see Figure F-1). A single FLEX module is able to decode up to two (2) incoming channels, and an appropriately configured encoder can deliver up to four (4) channels in a single rack-unit (1-RU). The FLEX module decodes MPEG2 in both standard definition (SD) or high definition (HD) formats, thereby eliminating the dependency on ingress formats. The FLEX module is a unique gateway designed with the flexibility to deliver any type of pre-compressed video to any Electra 1000, 5000, 5400, 7000 or Ion AVC SD/HD encoder. The FLEX module s both ASI and IP inputs, the most efficient interfaces used to route and transport pre-compressed video feeds. The FLEX module is controlled and configured with the NMX Digital Service Manager application or the Configuration Manager, the SAG Web-based GUI. The FLEX module also accepts decoded ATSC 8VSB signals from the DiviCom RF Input Card ( see DiviCom RF Input Card on page 63.). The FLEX module does not descramble or reconstruct all audio and ancillary data services (such as VBI) on the output port.

NOTE: . The encoder chassis configuration must include an input module for IP. The same GbE Pro card are used for both ProStream 1000 muxes and Electra encoders.

F.4 Ancillary Data Specifications A multichannel encoder equipped with FLEX is essentially receiving and outputting compressed streams. Therefore the terminology used regarding ancillary data can be incorrect or misleading. VBI data is not applicable to fully digital signals, but is used by habit. The FLEX module does not re-create any of the ancillary data, it simply es it intact as packets of bits, to the associate encoder’s TS output. Table F-3 describes the ancillary data specifications ed by the FLEX module. Table F-3: Ancillary Data Specifications Feature

F.9 Installing the Flex Decoding Module This section describes how to install the Flex Decoding Module. The module’s ports are shown in Figure F-1 on page 57. Ion and Electra encoders are typically ordered from the factory with the Flex module already installed. However, if additional Flex modules are installed, installation of the Flex module in the field would be required.

F.9.0.1

ESD Safety Precautions To protect modules from electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these safety precautions: ■

Always wear a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap whenever handling the modules.

■

Keep the module inside the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the module in a chassis.

F.9.1

Cabling the FLEX Module

Installing a Module Before installing the Flex module, you may need to upgrade the software version on the encoder. Harmonic Customer to find out which software version you need to install the additional module. There is also a C limitation of requiring that requires version 1.05. NOTE: Before installing the FLEX module make sure that the encoder has the appropriate software version installed before installing the module using either NMX or SAG. NOTE: The FLEX module must be installed in slot 4 (and an optional, second module in slot 5) of the encoder. You need a Phillips™ screwdriver to install the Flex module. To install the Flex module: 1. Turn off the encoder in which you are installing the module. 2. Remove the protective covers from slots 1 through 5 where you are going to install the module (by loosening the two screws with the Phillips screwdriver). Save the cover for future use. 3. While wearing an ESD wrist strap, unpack the module from its antistatic protective packing material. CAUTION: Unpack and handle the module away from electric motors, transformers, and other similar machinery. 4. Slide the module onto the encoder by lining up the edges of the module with the slots in the chassis. Make sure that the FLEX module goes into the encoder smoothly without binding or scraping other modules. The modules should slide easily until you feel the module engage the internal connector, and the module is flush with the back of the encoder. Do not force the module. 5. Tighten the two screws with the screwdriver. NOTE: Refer to the encoder guide or online help for information about accommodating the new Flex module in the encoder’s configuration.

F.10 Cabling the FLEX Module This section describes how to cable the FLEX module. Cabling the FLEX module is very straight forward. All video and monitor ports are clearly marked. The following table lists the ports and required connectors. NOTE: Video ports can either be used for loopback or confidence monitoring. Each firmware license ships with two video loopback cables. An optional adapter cable can be purchased for use with the monitoring ports. You must also have an IP input module installed. Figure F-3 on page 63 provides additional information on understanding the encoder’s LED color values.
