Typical Cable HD Transcoder System Overview
The LG HCS6600 Cable HD transcoder represents a single-channel HDTV solution for commercial
and institutional MATV systems (hotels, hospitals, etc.).
A typical Cable HD Transcoder system includes:
• An HCS6600 Cable HD transcoder for each HD program offered in the commercial facility MATV
system.
• A CodePlus series card frame (Example: HCS6100R) specified for the HCS6600.
Purchased separately:
• Cable TV service feed.
• Cable TV STB receiver for each transcoder/HD program.
• VSB or QAM modulator with ASI input (for each transcoder) or LG CodePlus-series unique feature
card (Example: HCS6300). Multiplexers can be used in front of the modulator if multiple programs
are desired and 256-QAM is used.
• (For each modulator, if applicable) Upconverter compatible with digital modulation.
• 19-inch rack for mounting.
• Miscellaneous cables and installation hardware (see also HCS6600 setup information on page 5).
The elements of such a system combined can:
• Receive a selected HD channel from Cable TV service using a Cable TV STB receiver.
• Transcode the digital video and audio stream to an ATSC A/53E compatible transport stream.
• Encrypt the received digital data stream.
• Modulate the stream in 64-QAM or multiplexed 256-QAM.
A Pro:Idiom-compatible television with a QAM/VSB tuner is required to view premium HD content.
The HCS6600 changes the Cable TV encryption scheme to a Pro:Idiom encryption scheme. A proper
session ID must be set at the TV in order for Pro:Idiom decryption to be enabled. LG’s Pay-Per-View
(PPV) partners can properly set up this session through their interface. An LG Free-to-Guest (FTG)
card is substituted for the supplied Multiple Protocol Interface (MPI) card and can set the session to
allow decryption.
Note: Design and specifications subject to change without prior notice.
