Mode Description 
PCM Samples If the audio source is MPEG Layer II format, the output will be 
routed to the SDI output as PCM.  
Compressed If the audio source is AES compressed, the output will routed to the 
AES-3id output, compressed. 
When Digital Out Preference is set to PCM Samples, the output is PCM 
regardless of whether its MPEG, Dolby Digital (AC-3) or AAC audio. 
Additionally, when the output is Compressed, MPEG-1 L1 and L2 will be output 
PCM, even though Dolby Digital (AC-3) and AAC is compressed (and 
transcoded)

9 Set the Dolby Digital Plus output mode (DD+ Output). If Trans is selected, it will 
transcode to Dolby Digital audio output. If Pass (passthrough) is selected and the 
bitrate is less than 1536 kbps (48 Khz), passthrough is performed and Dolby 
Digital Plus compressed out is received. If Pass (passthrough) is selected and the 
bitrate is more than 1536 Kbps, transcoding will be performed. This setting 
affects only the AES-3id and SDI outputs. 
Note: Dolby Digital Plus is only available on Audio 1. 
Note: Ensure that the Digital Out Preference is set to Compressed for digital 
passthrough. Otherwise, only decoded PCM will be available. This parameter 
has no effect if the audio source is not Dolby Digital Plus.

Setting up Cueing Parameters 
1 From the user interface of the D9854, click Audio & Video > Other Outputs > 
Cueing. The Cueing page is displayed. 
 
2 In the Cueing Mode drop-down menu, select whether cueing output should be 
DTMF tones or trigger pins. 
Tones are standard Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) tones. The tones are 
generated at the Cue Tone/Relay output on the rear panel of the receiver. 
Trigger refers to open-collector pins which can be generated at the Cue 
Tone/Relay output on the rear panel of the receiver. 
3 If Trigger was selected as the Cueing Mode, select the pin polarity in the Trigger 
Polarity drop-down menu. Select High for the pins to act as open or floating 
collectors on an active cueing signal and as ground on an inactive signal. Select 
Low for the pins to act as ground on an active cueing signal and as open or 
floating collectors on an inactive signal. 
4 If the Cueing Mode was set to Tone, set the number of consecutive tone 
sequences to be generated in the Cueing Tone Repeat Count field. Values 
greater than 1 are provided when a scenario demands repetition to ensure that 
the ad insertion equipment receives the signal. You can enter 1, 2, or 3. The 
default is 3. 
5 If the Cueing Mode was set to Tone, enter the Tone Duration of each tone, in 
milliseconds, in the range from 0 to 80. The default is 40.

6 If the Cueing Mode was set to Tone, enter the Silence Duration of each silence 
between tones, in milliseconds. The duration is in the range from 0 to 80. The 
default is 40. 
7 Select the Relay Mode that can be programmed to respond to an Alarm state, 
Warning statue, or the state of one of the eight cue trigger pins. The response is 
generated at the Cue Tone/Relay output on the rear panel of the receiver. The 
following table shows what the possible field settings are and their relationship 
to the receiver output:

- # - End tone only 
- */# - Start and end tones. The end tone is signaled after waiting the time 
specified in Delay(sec). 
4 Click Apply.

Setting up Cue Tones 
1 From the user interface of the D9854, click Audio & Video > Other Outputs, 
expand Cueing and then click Cue Tone. The Cue Tone page is displayed. 
 
2 The Sequence Number lists the tone sequences. The receiver supports up to 16 
tone sequences. You can configure the state, tones, mode, and delay for each tone 
sequence. 
3 Set the Sequence State (Enabled or Disabled) of the current tone sequence. When 
disabled, no cue tone is output. 
4 In the Sequence Tones field, set the three digit tone sequence (1 to 999). 
5 Select the tone Sequence Mode. 
Select * for start tone, # for the end tone, and */# for the start and end tones. The 
end tone is signaled after waiting the time specified in Sequence Delay. 
6 If the Sequence Mode was set to */# (Start/Stop), set the Sequence Delay, in 
seconds, between the start and stop sequences. You can enter a value in the 
range from 1 to 255. The default is 30.

Configuring Transport Stream Information 
Configuring the ASI Output 
1 From the user interface of the D9854, click Transport Stream > Transport 
Handling > ASI Output. The ASI Output page is displayed. 
Note: After you make any changes, a successfully updated (session open) 
message appears. The changes are displayed, but not saved. You must click 
Apply to save and apply the changes. 
 
Note: Any changes made to the ASI DPM values will automatically change the 
Output Mode to Full DPM Control, unless the output mode is set to No Output. 
2 Select the output Rate Control. The following table describes the affect each of 
the settings has on the output bit rate: 
Rate Control Description 
Auto The output rate follows that set by the uplink. The output rate will 
be the same as the input rate (including all null packets). This 
means the output bit rate is determined automatically based on 
the input source symbol rate and FEC value.  
User The output rate is specified by the User Rate field. It is determined 
by the user setting regardless of the input source.

3 If the Rate Control was set to User, set the maximum output bit rate in the User 
Rate field. This setting is used when the signal source is RF or ASI and allows 
you to set the output bit rate to a value expected by equipment connected to the 
ASI output. 
You can enter a range from 0 to 206 Mbps. 
Note: Output data may be lost if this bit rate is set to a value less than the actual 
signal bit rate. 
4 Select the DPM Output Mode for the current output. With the exception of No 
Output, selecting a mode will configure the DPM settings to achieve the 
specified behavior. In this way, they act as DPM presets. Any changes then made 
to the DPM settings will switch the mode to Full DPM Control. It is highly 
recommended to use either one of these basic modes, or, for advanced setup, 
enter the DPM mapping before setting the Output Mode. 
The following table describes each mode: 
Output Mode Description 
No Output No ASI output will be generated and the ASI port 
will be disabled. All PEs are automatically set to 
Drop. 
Passthrough  The output will be identical to the input. All PEs 
are set to Pass and other DPM settings will also be 
set. 
Service Channels Only This is similar to Passthrough, except that only 
channels applied to program entries are available 
on the output. 
MAP Passthrough The output will be identical to the input, except 
that channels and PIDs will be mapped using the 
DPM settings. If the input is tuned to a valid 
channel, the PEs are automatically set to Map. 
Otherwise, the PEs are automatically set to Drop. 
Note: If the PE is mapped, it uses the last valid 
input. The output map (for example, output 
channel PMT) does not change automatically if the 
input or channel number is changed. 
MAP Service Channels Only This is similar to MAP Passthrough, except that 
only channels applied to program entries are 
available on the output. If the input is tuned to a 
valid channel, the PEs are automatically set to 
Map. Otherwise, the PEs are automatically set to 
Drop. 
Note: If the PE is mapped, it uses the last valid 
input. The output map (for example, output 
channel PMT) does not change automatically if the 
input or channel number is changed.
