Introduction
The Harmonic ProView 2900 Series of Integrated Receiver Decoders (IRDs) presents a
professional MPEG-2 DVB and ATSC processing platform, designed to meet even the most
demanding application requirements while maximizing ease of use and flexibility.
This chapter describes:
• The ProView 2900 Series operating environment
• The ProView 2900 Series members' applications and general features.
• The ProView 2900 Series front and rear panel structure.
• The ProView 2900 Series characteristics and capabilities.

Chapter 2: Introduction Operating Environment
2.1.2. Applications
The ProView 2900 processing platform is a technologically advanced choice for a wide range
of applications. Some typical uses include:
• Digital turnaround
• CATV IP head-end receiver/decoder
• CATV IP distribution edge decoder
• Satellite distribution
• Telco distribution
• DSNG
• Syndication
Harmonic offers this series of professional IRDs in a wide range of standard configurations,
with the flexibility to select specific interfaces and applicable required features.
2.1.3. Management
The ProView 2900 provides a wide range of local and remote management options.
Local management methods:
• Front Panel Control - The ProView 2900 front panel provides an easy to use graphical
display with a large LCD screen and intuitive control.
• PC Terminal Control - The ProView 2900 supports PC terminal control from a standard
PC terminal (over RS-232 or RS-485). The terminal provides access to control and
monitor functionalities that are not available when using any ProView 2900 front panel
feature.
Remote management methods:
• NMS - The Network Management System enables management of the ProView 2900
through the transmission link. The NMS provides a menu and dialog-driven interface from
which control, modification, and upgrade operations can be performed on the
ProView 2900.
• Web-Based Management - ProView 2900 supports web-based management. Managing
ProView 2900 parameters using web-based control is as easy as point-and-click.
© Harmonic Inc. Manual p/n 101543/Ver 1.0 2-2 ProView 2900 Series/SW Version 1.94
Chapter 2: Introduction Operating Environment
• Telnet - The ProView 2900 supports remote control throughout the Internet. The
ProView 2900 can be controlled and configured from a standard PC terminal (over
Ethernet).
2.1.4. Functionality
The TS Router block receives input streams from an available source, for example: L-Band,
MPEG-over-IP IN and ASI IN. Then the block routes the selected input to the Master and
Slave decoders. Each decoder decodes one program from the input stream, routed by the TS
router block, and provides decoded digital audio and video streams. These streams are
provided to the Video Router block that routes them to the relevant outputs as well as to the
analog video output. The Analog Video Output receives a digital video, converts the digital
video into analog video, and outputs the analog video. The analog and digital audio output
component outputs the digital and analog audio.

CAUTION: This product relies on the building’s electrical installation for short-circuit
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 20 A
U.S. (240 VAC, 20 A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying
conductors).
ATTENTION: Pour ce qui est de la protection contre les courts-circuits (surtension), ce
produit dépend de l’installation électrique du local. Vérifier qu’un fusible ou qu’un disjoncteur
de 120 V alt., 20 A U.S. maximum (240 V alt., 20 A international) est utilisé sur les
conducteurs de phase (conducteurs de charge).
WARNUNG: Dieses Produkt ist darauf angewiesen, daß im Gebäude ein Kurzschluß-bzw.
Überstromschutz installiert ist. Stellen sie sicher, daß eine Sicherung oder ein Unterbrecher
von nicht mehr als 240 V Wechselstrom, 20 A (bzw. in den USA 120 V Wechselstrom, 20 A)
an den Phasenleitern (allen stromführenden Leitern) verwendet wird.

3.4.1. Powering Up
When powering up the ProView 2900 and the receiver is not tuned, expect one of the
following warnings:
• Front-End warning – Demodulator not sync
• Bit Stream warning – No sync – 0x47 detected
• Bit Stream warning – PSI not detected
In case the ProView 2900 warning LED is lit orange, the operator must perform the following:
• Tune or configure the ProView 2900 device
• Select a service from the input stream
When the ProView 2900 is correctly configured, “All OK” is displayed and both LEDs are lit
green.
NOTE
Prior to initialization, review Chapter 5-Operation and Management, for how to use and
navigate through the menus and for information on configuration parameters.
3.4.2. Tuning
The ProView 2900 receiver must be configured to receive a transport stream. For details
about a ProView 2900 device with a DVB-S receiver module, see Section 6.2. For details
about a ProView 2900 device with an MPEG-over-IP front-end module, see Section 6.2.3.10.

Operation and Management
This chapter details managing the ProView 2900 locally, from its Front Panel interface and
remotely, from its Web Management interface.
The Front Panel control interface contains all the existing ProView 2900 control parameters,
while the Web management interface allows easy access to the same parameters from a
remote computer. Therefore the description of these two interfaces is interwined and brought
together in this chapter.

The LNB L.O. type can be acquired from satellite transponder information. Most satellites use
the ‘Universal’ type of L.O. unless otherwise specified.
Manual configuration of the oscillator frequency is rarely used and is intended only for
advanced users.
Available LNB local oscilator types are:
• UNIVERSAL (9.75,10.6) – Selects LNB universal L.O. type
• WIDE BAND (9.75, 10.75) – Selects LNB wide band L.O. type
• Ku-BAND – Defines Ku-Band LNB L.O. type
• C-BAND – Defines C-Band LNB L.O. type
• DiSEqC (9.75, 10.75) – Selects DiSEqC LNB L.O. type
NOTE
When selecting the Ku-Band or the C-Band local oscilator, you must manually set the L.O.
frequency (see the LNB L.O. Frequency configuration function detailed in paragraph 6.2.1.9).

6.3.2.2. Redundancy
The ProView 2900 IP front end supports both physical link and logical source redundancy.
The physical link and logical source are coupled, i.e. switching from one physical link to the
other (in the case of a link redundancy event) forces switching from the corresponding logical
source to the other. In the case of a logical source redundancy event, the physical links are
switched as well.
• Link Redundancy: protects the directly connected switch/router and the physical cable
connection. There are two IP physical links to the ProView 2900: MPEGoIP IN1 and
.MPEGoIP IN2.
• Source Redundancy: protects the transport stream source (encoder/streamer). Two
logical sources (i.e. sockets), containing identical streams, must be configured to enable
Source redundancy.

upgrade. To disable the watchdog feature, perform the following steps:
• In the ProView 2900 front panel, go to Configuration StreamSource and
select Serial RS422
• In the command prompt (StartRun) on the PC enter ’telnet <device IP
address> 1023.
NOTE:
To obtain the <device IP address> in the ProView 2900 front panel, go to
ConfigurationReceiverMPEGoIP Input 1 (or 2)Physical Link and copy the number
from the IP Address parameter.
• In the Telnet prompt, press Enter.
• In the Telnet prompt, type 'dwd'.
• Power off the ProView 2900
• After a few seconds, power on the ProView 2900. The watchdog function is
now off.
2. For each new SW upgrade, obtain a self extracting software upgrade file.
3. Create a new directory under drive C:\ and name it NEW_VER.
4. Copy the self extracting file into the NEW_VER directory.
5. Go to StartRun and enter ‘cmd’.
6. In the command prompt window enter ‘cd \NEW_VER’.
7. Type the name of the SW upgrade self-extracting EXE file and press Enter
8. Answer any questions that may be displayed on the command prompt window
with ‘Y’ followed by Enter
9. After the self extracting file has finished the self extraction, run the file called
‘update.bat’ from this same directory, then enter the ProView 2900 IP address.
Obtain the IP address by accessing ConfigurationReceiverMPEGoIP Input
1 (or 2)Physical Link in the front panel. Then copy the address from the IP
Address parameter. For example ‘update 10.100.1.26’.
10. In the Telnet prompt window, type ‘telnet <unit IP Address> 1023’ (use the same
IP Address as in step 9).
11. Type 'exit' and then Enter.
