The Cisco® D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption Receiver (Figure 1) is designed for satellite and terrestrial content distribution applications requiring Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite (DVB-S), Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation (DVB-S2) reception capabilities and IP reception capabilities with advanced digital outputs for digital tier program distribution. A built-in decoder can decode an MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) high definition (HD) program for analog monitoring, or a standard definition (SD) down-conversion for composite. Decoding of an MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC SD program is also available for analog. By supporting decryption of up to 32 Cisco PowerVu® encrypted programs, the Cisco D9824 receiver allows users to efficiently receive and distribute multiple programs through their network using a single receiver.

Digital Program Distribution
The Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) transport output provides a number of output modes and can carry decrypted programs for digital tier distribution. This capability helps ensure that compressed video programs are efficiently distributed to households equipped with digital set-top boxes.
Digital Program Mapping
Digital program mapping allows programmers to "transparently" substitute programs at the uplink. It maintains predictable and compliant transport output during service replacement, network information table (NIT) retuning, and channel changes, including forced tunings. This feature remaps the packet identifier (PID) information from the primary service to an alternate service, allowing downstream devices to continue to operate without headend operator intervention. This helps ensure availability of alternative programming in the digital tier.
Digital Advertisement Insertion
Digital program insertion (DPI) information is available with the video and audio PIDs for external advertisement insertion in a compressed digital format.
