DCT Installation Manual Installation Video Connection Options Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber home entertainment system. If you use IEEE , on-screen graphics do not display.

S-Video is the highest quality standard-definition video output on the DCT In most cases, these outputs offer better audio quality, including support for 5. When connecting to an audio receiver, reference its installation instructions for directions on connecting to baseband and SPDIF ports. We recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the receiver can be displayed. In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive on-screen menus. No other video connection supports HDTV.

For installation details, refer to instructions included with the data device. This connection carries video only. To connect the audio connections for your HDTV, refer to the following page. If you use the IEEE connection, on-screen graphics cannot display. The RF connection carries video and audio.

This video connection method does not support HD video. In most cases, S-video offers better video quality. You can use this diagram to reconnect your system if you move the equipment or add new equipment. Disconnect the power from the cable terminal before connecting or changing cable connections. Do not place another component or object on top of the cable terminal.

It consists of a low-power infrared transmitter attached to a six-foot cord and a mounting bracket. A mini-pin connector at the end of the cord connects the IR Blaster to the terminal. The IR Blaster is sold separately as an accessory item. The availability and functionality of the IR Blaster depends on the installed application software. Figure IR transmitter installed in mounting bracket Once installed, the IR Blaster is activated automatically through the electronic program guide.

Individual VCR codes are broadcast through the out-of-band data channel and are updated periodically as new codes are added. The procedure for installing the IR Blaster is described in the following paragraphs. Try to turn the VCR on and off with the remote control pointed directly at it, and close enough to reduce the possibility that the receiver will see IR reflections. This region contains the sensor and can be marked by loosely taping the index card to the area.

Because the IR Blaster radiates in an area approximately 40 degrees wide, you do not need to be precisely on target with the receiver. You may prefer to offset the location of the IR Blaster transmitter so that it is less likely to interfere with operation of the VCR remote control.

Be careful to route the wire so that it does not prevent loading tapes. As a final check, operate the VCR using the remote control from various positions in the room.

The functionality of each data device port requires, and depends on, installed application software. If the OOB frequency is not set to This searching process repeats until the correct OOB frequency is found and the required message for the DCT model is acquired.

The LED displays dl and a progress indicator, which identifies a software object download. The progress indicator, or crawling ant, moves one position around the dl display for each segment of download received. If the dl stops moving up and down on the LED for an extended period of time, contact the headend operator.

The progress indicator usually moves at a consistent rate as segment downloads are received. If segments are dropped, the progress indicator appears to stall and then inch forward after the dropped segments are retired. The software download may take up to 45 minutes or longer if the system is experiencing high demand. As long as the progress indicator is spinning, the download is progressing.

When the progress indicator alternates between rapid and sluggish movement, this may indicate that the stream is spinning too fast for existing plant conditions. Verify that the terminal is powered up or reset within two minutes of a completed download.

Tune to the output channel 3 or 4. Tune to several channels by entering the channel number using the numeric keys. Press MUTE to turn the sound off. Press MUTE again to restore the sound.

Motorola recommends using HDMI cables less than 20 meters long. The LED panel displays the type you select. Defaults to Sets the video display format for the component video outputs. The LED panel displays the format you select. Defaults to i. Options are i, p, p, or i. Some TVs only support certain display formats. Check the TV user manual for more information.

If the Y Pb Pr Output is set to i, p, or p, this setting defaults to i. On an HDTV, black bars display on the left and right of the picture. There are no black bars. You can select Stretch for TV Type only. It displays a screen of HDMI-specific settings. The front panel display indicates the status of the closed captions. Font Size Sets the font size for closed captions. Defaults to AUTO. Font Style Sets the font style. Font Color Sets the font color. Font Opacity Sets the opacity. The default is AUTO.

Background Color Sets the background color for closed captions. Background Opacity Sets the background opacity for closed captions. Graphics Overlaying the Video The DCT can generate graphics that overlay the video programming or fill the entire television screen. The DCT overlays these graphics whenever the subscriber opens a menu, enables closed captions, or scrolls through a program grid. These settings are set based on the preferred settings of the display device when initially connected to the set-top.

Changing these settings may cause the loss of audio and video. These settings are established automatically when the HDMI device is connected to the set-top based on data shared between the device and the set-top. You can use the diagnostics when running the base platform or Thin Client software.

The information is updated each time the diagnostic is displayed. It is an integer from 0 to It can be an integer from 0 to Unack The number of reports that have not been acknowledged by the controller. It is an integer. Last Seq Num The last acknowledged sequence number of a purchase sent by the controller. It is a bit, unsigned hexadecimal number. The information is updated every 5 seconds.

It is updated every 5 seconds and reset each time the DCT is power cycled or another digital multiplex is tuned.

The maximum value displayed is , even if there were more than errors. The stream type and multicast 16 addresses cycle on the OSD every 5 seconds. The Multicast 16 addressed messages filter on a bit multicast address.

The user processor can define up to four multicast addresses in hardware, and any message matching one of the four is processed. Messages not matching the multicast address are discarded. The channel type determines the status display. It is updated every 5 seconds. It can be from 54 to MHz. The information is updated each time this diagnostic is displayed.

Report Back Address Displayed in 4-byte hexadecimal format, if configured. DCT Installation Manual Diagnostics d08 Code Modules This diagnostic includes information about the firmware loaded in flash memory and all non-volatile code versions installed on the DCT When the native suite is running, the diagnostics of the application operating system and all associated objects should be accessible.

Figure reflects segments remaining. The information displayed for each object depends on the running environment. If a download is not in progress, the LED displays the current environment running and version number, as shown in Figure The information is updated when you display the diagnostic.

Flash The allocated flash memory in MB. Each highlighted character corresponds with a front-panel key press. There is no LED display.

The information on the OSD is updated when you display the diagnostic. Repeater Indicates whether the connected device is a repeater — Yes or No. The list displays all of the formats that the DCT could read, up to a maximum of 12 formats.

If more than twelve video timing formats are discovered, the supported formats only are listed first, followed by up to twelve remaining formats.

The format may vary. If you are not using an HDTV, selecting a format other than i causes the on-screen display to go blank. If this occurs, view the settings on the LED panel to change the format back to i. If the YPbPr Output is set to i, p, or p, this setting defaults to i. Graphics overlaying the video are displayed. Foreground Opacity Displays the selected foreground opacity — Auto controlled by the closed caption stream , Transparent, Translucent, Solid, or Flashing.
