TSIP is short for TS over IP. There two Gigabit RJ45 ports and two SFP (Small Form-factor
Pluggable) ports on this module. The leftmost RJ45 port and the left SFP port are main I/O ports. The
rightmost RJ45 port and the right SFP port only provide backup output.

Module Configuration > TSIP (64I32O) > Output

Enable output TS channel. Configure multicast destination IP address, source port, and protocol.

The Constant Rate should be about 2 Mbps higher than the Effective Bitrate listed in the
Status > TSIP (64I32O) menu. In that case, the bitrate of inserted null packets will be around 2 Mbps.

30
 DMP900 User Guide

Better not enable unemployed channels, since the enabled channels without services still output null
packets at Constant Bitrate.
Select Advanced Setting to configure backup port. The backup feature is available only when the
main channels are transferring services.

The backup port duplicates the output streams in the main port respectively. If you set the backup
Dest IP Address the same with the main port, do not connect main port and backup port to the same
VLAN to avoid conflicts.

Constant Rate of any output channel/TS/port ought to be set manually about 2 Mbps higher
than the Effective Bitrate in the corresponding output channel/TS/port, since the Effective Bitrate
might fluctuates a little bit. If you set the Constant Rate much higher that the Effective Bitrate, there
will be lots of null packets in the output transport stream.

4.4 Scrambling/Descrambling Modules

4.4.1 CI Descrambling

One CI module allows the user to insert two pairs of CAM and smartcard into two independent slots.
The top slot is slot 1. The bottom slot is slot2. The user can either select Auto Reset or click Reboot
to reset CAM modules. MMI button is used to read CAM and smartcard information.

Module Configuration > CI

Configuring Service Descrambling

In the following image, a TS that contains 9 scrambled services comes from ASI input port.
1. Go to Status > CI and check the CAM Insert Status, CAM Initialization status, CAM Name,
and CA System ID. Take the following figure for example, the CAM module is successfully
loaded in CI Port.

70
 DMP900 User Guide

2. Go to Service Configuration. Bypass the input TS and drag it to output Board3 [CI] on the right
side. Then on the left side in Board3 [CI] Port1 the processed TS is listed as an input again.

3. Right-click a program in the output CI port to descramble this service by the CAM in Port 1.
[Descramble] follows the service that is descrambled as a mark. To cancel the descrambling
process for the service, right-click it and click Non-descramble. Click Apply.

4. Drag the service that has been descrambled from input Board3 [CI], Port1 to output port.

71
 DMP900 User Guide

5. Go to Status > CI, check the Service Descramble Status. In the following figure, three services
are descrambled successfully.

72
 DMP900 User Guide

4.4.2 CI-BISS Descrambling

CI module can be converted to CI-BISS module by a different license and loading CI-BISS module
software. BISS descrambling does not require any CAM module. Use the similar way as in Chapter
4.2.1 CI Descrambling to configure CI-BISS Descrambling.
1. Bypass the input TS and drag it to output CI port.

2. Right-click a program and click BISS-Descramble.

3. Configure BISS Mode and BISS Key (and Injected ID in BISS-E Mode). Click Apply and then
click Back to return to Service Configuration. [BISS_1] and [BISS_E] follow the descrambled
services as a label.

73
 DMP900 User Guide

4. Drag the descrambled services to output port.

5. Check descrambling status in Status > CI.

To ensure CA PMT is updated in CI, better bypass the input TS before drag it to CI. Otherwise,
descrambling process may fail.

4.4.3 Scrambler+

The scrambler+ module is use to work with CAS systems to encrypt programs. It supports
scrambling up to 150 services. Besides, it support BISS-1/BISS-E scrambling without extra license.
AES-CBC mode is optional.

74
 DMP900 User Guide

The following figure gives an overview of Scrambler+ menu structure.

Configuring Scrambler+ Setup

Go to Module Configuration >Setup. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Speed
Mode for this scrambler. The IP Address should be in the same network with that of the CAS server.
The Speed mode should be the same with the Ethernet of CAS server. Turn on CA System 1 and
keep unused CA Systems Off. Use a cross-through RJ45 cable to connect scrambler to CAS
server’s Ethernet port. Check the connection by pinging scrambler’s IP address in the Command
Prompt of CAS server.

Configuring ECMG connection.

Enter System ID, Sub System ID (keep it 0 if not required), ECMG IP Address, and ECMG Port.
Click Apply. Check ECMG Communication Status in Status >Scrambler+. When the connection
is liable, the status is a green Connected. See in the following figure.

75
 DMP900 User Guide

Configuring EMMG connection.

Enter EMMG TCP Port, EMMG UDP Port (keep it 0 if EMM Send Type is TCP), EMM Send Type,
EMM PID, and EMM Bandwidth. Click Apply. Check EMMG Communication Status in
Status >Scrambler+. When the connection is stable, the status should be a green Connected.

Configuring ECM

Add the AC Data that is created in CAS server into ECM List.

76
 DMP900 User Guide

Scrambling Programs
Once the ECMG, EMMG connection is done and ECM is added, go to Service Configuration and
right-click a program in output port to Program Scramble Setting.

Select Slot (the slot in which Scrambler+ is installed), CA Stream ID for each program and click
Apply to scramble them. Go to Status > Scrambler+ and check ECM Count. The count number
should be the same with the number of scrambled programs.

To cancel the scrambling process for a scrambled program, go to Program Scramble Setting again,
set Slot to None and apply Non-scramble for this program.

BISS-1/BISS-E Scrambling
BISS scrambling does not require a CAS server. Right-click an output program to Program
Scrambling Setting. Select BISS-1/BISS-E in Scrambling Type and enter BISS keys to scramble
the programs.
