The Digicipher DSR-4500X is the Motorola replacement IRD for theDSR-4000/1 models. This unit was primarily designed for a cable provider's needs. Following is a general setup guide.
This two-rack unit IRD has (8) L-band inputs, Aux bypass audio/ video inputs and four audio outputs. Data connector outputs include Cue tone, Isoc (Sync data) and Async. Three contact relay interfaces are provided. ASI and DHEI (Digicable Headend Expansion Interface) outputs are also included.
Setup steps for reception of PTV Digicipher programming:
Cable the unit for your needs. A monitor connection to the 'OSD Vid' out is helpful to view diagnostic information. The following steps presume AMC-3 Ku (V) to RF-1 and AMC-3 Ku (H) to RF-2. It's recommended that a front panel reset be done first.
