1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an A2B Electronics product. The ESX-200 is a

revolutionary solution for reception and modification of satellite transmitted TV-content into various transmission formats for cable-TV and SMATV.

The ESX-200 is delivered with hardware and software that supports DVB-S/S2 reception, MPEG2/MPEG4 H.264 AVC, ASI output, VSB RF modulation with

NICAM audio, IP control and management. All hardware needed for upgrade

with coming software options is available from the start.

ESX-200 can be upgraded for enhanced functionality and various formats for transmission and processing of digital-TV content by upgrade of its firmware.

Software options will be available from A2B Electronics, please ask us for the specifications and complete price list of all options.

The ESX-200 is set to an default IP address in factory. However it

is possible to change the IP address or set the unit to DHCP. This is an important function

when you install two or more EXM units in a Head end and

want to connect all units together through a switch or a router. This also allow you to make connection to the EXM units from distance (remote).

The Service management menu gives an overview of available services from satellite or the ASI input (if enabled). Remultiplexing (remuxing) is possible after downloading a appropriate SW option. To build your own MUX you

combine several incoming

services by your choice. These can be received either by the tuner or by the ASI in.

4.2.6 Upload4.2.6 Upload4.2.6 Upload4.2.6 Upload

For easy update of the ESX-200 firmware or for download of enhanced functionality by

software options the Upload menu allows for selection of the appropriate file previously

stored on your computer.

Select [Browse] and search for

the correct file in your computer. When the file is selected press [Upload] and

the file is downloaded into the

ESX-200.

15

To be sure that you don’t exceed maximum bit rate for the MUX you build,

make sure that you don’t select to many services for one MUX out. In future

software releases for ESX-200 a bit rate meter will be implemented where you can see the total bit rate continuously. If the bar is green there is no risk that

you exceed maximum bit rate.

If the bar turns yellow there are some risk that bit rate exceeds limits

occasionally and if the bar goes red you have exceeded the max bit rate for selected modulation.

Click the [reset] button to reset the meter.

The website: http://www.satcodx.com/sve/ lists bitrates for satellite services.The services are named TS and marked red and by clicking on one service you can get both average and peak values. It is recommended to select the peak value when planning a new MUX.

See table below for max bit rates for COFDM and QAM.

English

Output signal Modulation Baudrate Max bitrate (Mbps)

COFDM 64QAM 31,94

QAM 64QAM 6.875 Ms 38,015

QAM 128QAM 6.875 Ms 44,35

QAM 256QAM 6.875 Ms 50,686

Formula for calculating QAM output bitrate is: Baudrate x ”A”/(204/188) where ”A” is 6 for 64QAM, 7 for 128QAM and 8 for 256QAM mode.

5. About remultiplexing

16

The ESX-200 can be installed either as a stand alone unit or in a baseunit (EBU-100).

Before connecting power to the ESX-200, make sure that all other

connections have been made.A coaxial cable of good quality with a F-connector should be connected

from the LNB to the LNB input and another one from the RF output to the cable

TV network.

Connect a power supply and make all necessary settings as described in

The Service management menu gives an overview of available services from satellite or the ASI input (if enabled). Remultiplexing (remuxing) is possible after downloading a appropriate SW option. To build your own MUX you

combine several incoming

services by your choice. These can be received either by the tuner or by the ASI in.

To be sure that you don’t exceed maximum bitrate for the MUX you build you

have to make sure that you don’t select to many services in one MUX out. In

future software releases for ESX-200 a bit rate meter will be implemented where you can see the total bit rate at each moment. If the bar is green it’s no

risk that you exceed max bit rate.

If bar goes yellow there are some risk that bit rate exceeds limits occasionally

and if the bar goes red you have exceeded the max bit rate for selected modulation.

Click the [reset] button to reset the meter.

The website: http://www.satcodx.com/sve/ lists bitrates for satellite services.The services are named TS and marked red and by clicking on one service you can get both average and peak values. It is recommended to select the peak value when planning a new MUX.

See table below for max bit rates for COFDM and QAM.

Output signal Modulation Baudrate Max bitrate (Mbps)

COFDM 64QAM 31,94

QAM 64QAM 6.875 Ms 38,015

QAM 128QAM 6.875 Ms 44,35

QAM 256QAM 6.875 Ms 50,686

Formula for calculating QAM output bitrate is: Baudrate x ”A”/(204/188) where ”A” is 6 for 64QAM, 7 for 128QAM and 8 for 256QAM mode.

The ESX-200 can be installed either as a stand alone unit or in a baseunit (EBU-100).

Before connecting power to the ESX-200, make sure that all other

connections have been made.A coaxial cable of good quality with a F-connector should be connected

from the LNB to the LNB input and another one from the RF output to the cable

TV network.

Connect a power supply and make all necessary settings as described in

section 4.
