Chapter 1 Features and Specifications Main Firmware Related Features Table 1-1: Main Firmware Related Features Category Feature Description Multiplexing/ provisioning options Switched Digital Video • Full multiplexing (any input to any output) • Multicast of any input stream to multiple transport streams. • Socket pass-through: NSG 9000-6G may be configured to pass input sockets in their entirety to a given output QAM channel. However, pass-through sockets may not be multicast to multiple output QAM channels. • Spooling of PSI/SI tables Supports SDV: • NGOD R6 and D6 protocols • ISA Processing Scrambling • DVB Scrambling • Motorola Privacy Mode scrambling Supports services that were encrypted using the Pro:Idiom standard.

1.1 Introduction<br />

This guide describes the configuration and monitoring instructions for <strong>NSG</strong> (Network Services<br />

Gateway) <strong>9000</strong>-<strong>6G</strong> using its web client.<br />

This universal high density EdgeQAM supports multiple applications and delivers up to 144<br />

QAM-RF output streams. The number of the delivered transport streams is defined according<br />

to the device configuration and number of QAM-RF modules mounted in the slots of the<br />

device. Each QAM may serve a different application allowing a single device to concurrently<br />

support multiple applications. The supported applications are as follows:<br />

• VOD (Video On Demand)<br />

• Broadcast<br />

<br />

<br />

PID Range<br />

Service/PID remux<br />

• SDV (Switched Digital Video)<br />

<br />

<br />
