The Harmonic DiviCom Electra 1000 Multichannel Encoder provides multichannel standard definition MPEG-2 encoding and DiviTrackIP statistical multiplexing. It accepts up to four analog composite or serial digital standard definition video inputs, and up to ten analog or digital audio inputs. The encoder operates within an IP environment, allowing flexible network architectures. This chapter describes:

The environment in which you can operate the DiviCom Electra 1000 General features Video encoding features Audio encoding features Support for DiviTrackIP and DPI The front and back panels
2.1
Operating Environment
The encoder operates under the control of NMX Digital Service Manager. NMX manages multiple DiviCom Electra 1000 encoders and other devices. NMX provides full configuration of the DiviCom Electra 1000 platform, ports, services, and PSI, as well as alarm management. You configure a few initial network settings from the front panel 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.

VBR Accommodates poor quality video sources
To compensate for poor analog sources, the encoder preprocesses the area around the line sync, slightly expanding both the front and back porches to enhance timing recovery. As a result, the encoder slightly reduces the line length. When this capability is engaged, all alarm reporting is disabled.

2.5
DiviTrackIP Support
DiviTrackIP statistical multiplexing provides high-performance video compression when multiple channels share a specified bandwidth. The system maintains the overall pool bandwidth at a constant bit rate while allocating to individual channels the optimum number of bits on a frame-by-frame basis, driven by picture complexity information from the LookAhead analysis. By assigning priorities, you can specify channels that must maintain a high quality when stress on the system increases. The DiviCom Electra 1000 encoder works in conjunction with NMX and a ProStream 1000 to support 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 1000 encoder must be sent to the same ProStream 1000.

2.6
Digital Program Insertion Support

The DiviCom Electra 1000 encoder supports digital program insertion (DPI). DiviCom Electra 1000 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 1000 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.
2.7
Audio Mode Change Control Through VANC

The Electra 1000 (with AHC boards mounted) can support one 5.1 channel AAC audio stream plus one stereo audio stream maximum per encoder. Changes in the audio coding may be controlled through messages in VANC when the AHC is suitably provisioned.
2.8
Japanese Standard Closed-Captions Support

The Electra 1000 provides support for Japanese standard captions in addition to the existing support for CEA-708 captions via SMPTE 333 and SMPTE 334-1 inputs. The Electra 5000 encoder supports the closed-caption feature where the closed-caption data is transported within the ancillary data space as specified by ARIB STD-B37 and is extracted by the encoder for processing. The Vertical Ancillary Data Space (VANC) packets comply with the ARIB STDB39 standard.

2.10.5
IP Output Port
One 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port provides two redundant IP output channels. The two RJ-45 connectors are labeled GbE PRI and BKUP. The IP output port supports manual redundancy. The port also supports 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 25 for cabling instructions. Set the IP address and other network information for the IP output ports using NMX.
2.10.6
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 25 for cabling instructions. See B.3.1 Ethernet Management Port on page 42 for pinout information.
2.10.7
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 B.3.2 Fault Relay/GPI Ports on page 43 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 encoders 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.

Licensing Information
4.3
Licensing Information
Licensing is required for some encoding features, and you cannot enable those features without the appropriate licensing. You can add licenses to your system at any time using the Configuration Manager (web GUI). You must acquire licenses from Harmonic. When licenses expire, streams will continue to flow as configured, but cannot be modified or re-enabled if disabled for any reason. Streams that include features under license will raise alarms when their licensing expires. Alarms will also be raised to advise you that licensing is required for a given feature, if that feature is blocked. Also, any attempted changes after a license expires may be service affecting and other operations such as redundancy may not operate properly. For additional information on using the Configuration Manager for licensing operations refer to your encoders online help. Under the Licensing tab (on Platform Configuration page) you can:
Apply license keys that have been created and sent to you by Harmonic in a *.lic license file. The license file is unique to a specific encoder, and can be used on that encoder only once. When you apply a license, the system scans the encoder platform for the matching device/feature and binds the license key to that encoder. One *.lic file may contain multiple license keys. Every key in the *.lic file will be applied. One license key may unlock multiple instances of a feature. There is no undo for applying licenses, but you can delete them. Delete a license key and save the deletion receipt for return to Harmonic. If you want to remove a license key from one device to use it on another, you must delete it. When you delete a key, the device releases it and a unique deletion receipt is created. This receipt must be sent to Harmonic so that the deleted license can be made available in the license database for use in a different encoder. There is no undo for deletion. You must provide the deletion receipt to Harmonic to make the license available for use again. View the current licenses that are on the encoder platform.
To apply licenses: If you ordered a new license, you received a file. To install it on this encoder, follow these steps: 1. Click the Add license button. The license Loader window opens. 2. Type in the path and file name where you saved the new license file, or use the Browse button, and navigate to it. 3. Click the Transfer button. The encoder applies all the license keys that are in the *.lic file and binds them to the encoder. The new licenses appear in the license table. 4. Disable, then re-enable the affected streams, if applicable. To delete licenses:

How to maintain and replace the air filters and fuse How to contact Harmonic Support
5.1
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.

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.

Air Filters
5.1.2
5.1.2.1
Removing and Replacing the Air Filters

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

To remove the front left filter from behind the front bezel: 1. Grasp each side of the encoders 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 filters 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. Carefully replace the front bezel on the encoder making sure the filter does not fall out of the bezel.

Fuse
5.2
Fuse
Encoders with an AC power supply use a slow blow 4.0 A, 250 V fuse, 5 x 20 mm. The fuse is located on the back panel beside the power input. A spare fuse is located in the fuse cover, shown in Figure 5-3.
Fuse cover
Figure 5-3: Fuse cover and AC power input
5.2.1
Replacing the Fuse

To replace the fuse: 1. Unplug the power cord from the chassis. DANGER: You must disconnect the power cord before removing the fuse.
2. Pull down the fuse cover on the back panel. 3. Remove the old fuse. 4. Install the new fuse. DANGER: Always replace the fuse with a fuse of the same rating and type. Using a different fuse voids the Harmonic warranty and could result in fire or other electrical damage. 5. Replace the fuse cover. 6. Plug in the encoder.

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.

Fault Relay/GPI Ports

A contact closure is a physical connection between two platforms that define the state of the platform by being either on or off. Both NMX and Configuration Manager provide alarm management and redundancy for third party devices through contact closure monitoring. Additionaly the contact closure on the Electra and Ion-based encoders can also be used as DPI inputs to the encoder. A contact closure is a physical connection (Figure B-1) between two platforms that define the state of the platform by being either on or off. Table B-4 lists the fault relay pinouts. Individual wires need to be inserted into the contacts and grounded to the ground pin to activate a contact closure. When configured in the DPI properties page (of either NMX or the Configuration Manager) an SCTE35 message is sent out when that pin is set to low. Each is independent and can be provisioned to any one channel and multiple available channels. The fault relay port connects to a Form C relay that can switch up to 0.25 A at 30 VDC. .

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 51. 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 panel. 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.

F.1 Introduction
The DiviCom FLEX decoding module delivers video decoding capability and is integrated into either an Electra or Ion encoder chassis (which will be referred to as the host encoder). The FLEX decoding module (hereafter referred 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 rackunit (1-RU). The FLEX module decodes MPEG-2 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 precompressed video to any host encoder. The FLEX module supports 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 web-based GUI. The FLEX module also accepts decoded ATSC 8VSB signals from the DiviCom RF Input Card ( DiviCom RF Input Card on page 70). 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.4.1
Decoding Resource Considerations

A multichannel decode stream counts as 3 stereo decode streams. If no downmixing and no dynamic level adjustment is enabled on any stream, the absolute maximum number of audio decode streams is 8, allowed in one of these (and only these) combinations:

Up to 4 mono/stereo decode streams per FLEX decoding port Up to one multichannel audio decode and one stereo decode stream per FLEX decoding port Up to 2 multichannel audio decode and 2 stereo audio decode streams on the first FLEX decoding port Up to 8 mono/stereo decode streams on the first FLEX decoding port (with no audio on second port)
F.5 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 user habit. The FLEX module does not re-create any of the ancillary data, it simply passes it intact as packets of bits, to the associate encoders TS output.

F.10 Installing the FLEX Decoding Module

This section describes how to install the FLEX Decoding Module. The modules ports are shown in Figure F-1 on page 53. Host encoders 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.10.0.1
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.
2010 Harmonic Inc.
57
Cabling the FLEX Module
Keep the module inside the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the module in a chassis.
F.10.1
Installing a Module
Before installing the FLEX module, you may need to upgrade the software version on the encoder. Contact Harmonic Customer Support to find out which software version you need to install the additional module. There is also a CPC limitation that requires version 1.05. NOTE: Before making changes to the FLEX module, make sure the service configuration is cleared before powering down the system. Also, before installing the FLEX module make sure that the encoder has the appropriate software version installed before installing the module using either NMX or the Configuration Manager. 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 encoders configuration.
F.11 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.
2010 Harmonic Inc.

Appendix H A/B Power Input Switch Card

H.1 Introduction
This appendix contains specifications for the A/B Power Input Switch card. The A/B Power Input Switch card receives two separate AC main input sources (to support redundancy), monitors the voltage, and selects the good voltage to provide one AC output for input into either the AC or DC power supply. The A/B Power Input Switch card automatically changes from the line A input to the Line B input (or the reverse) upon loss of power on the active line. The A/B Power Input Switch card uses and monitors the active line continuously and switches to the backup port only when the active line has a fault. The card switches back automatically when the active port is detected as normal and stable (with an appropriate delay). NOTE: The A/B Power Input Switch card is a dual-height card and can only be installed in slots 1 and 3. The A/B Power Input Switch card can be managed by the Configuration Manager (SAG). Figure H-1 on page 64 shows a illustration of the A/B Power Input Switch card.
