LUMINATO RECEIVER
LUMINATO RECEIVER
Teleste Luminato multireceiver is a compact and multifunctional platform for Cable TV and IPTV operators. The receiver enables flexible selection of free-to- air and scrambled services via DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVBS-2X, DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, ISDB-T, ITU-T J.83 A/B/C and IP interfaces. Services can be adjusted to match the operator’s service line-up with built-in advanced transport stream processing capabilities. Luminato multireceiver supports video resolutions from SD (Standard Definition) to UHD (Ultra High Definition) in MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC video formats. Numerous audio formats such as AAC or MPEG can be managed as well. Luminato multireceiver module can be fitted to any of the six Luminato module slots. In accordance with the Luminato system architecture, the advanced video processing can be performed in the receiver modules and additional output modules are not necessarily in pure IP based HE solutions.

Luminato multireceiver module can be used to receive payload via satellite, terrestrial and cable networks. The module has two physical ports with descramblers that can support the mentioned network types. Both ports incorporate dual receivers. In addition to these four interfaces the module can receive payload via IP inputs, either encrypted or free to air. Descrambling uses DVB Common Interface modules to support numerous Conditional Access Systems. Advanced transport stream processing gives operators freedom to select and manage relevant services in the network. Luminato receiver follows changes in the received stream and reacts based on the customer configuration. These automatic readjustments are used to avoid interruptions of output services. The output of the receiver is always fully DVB-compatible IP stream – completed with automatically generated PSI/SI streams. Outputs can be in a Multi Program Transport Stream and Single Program Transport Stream formats, which allow highly flexible stream routing and re-multiplexing options. The IP output streams can be transmitted either to another module on the same chassis or to any other IP connected headend equipment for further processing, with or without SAP announcements.
RF Tuning and Demodulation Luminato multireceiver is available for receiving content from satellite (DVB-S, - S2,-S2X) source, from terrestrial (DVB-T, DVB-T2, ISDB-T) networks and cable (DVB-C, ITU-T j.83) networks. Luminato multireceiver module can be used to receive payload via satellite, terrestrial and cable networks. The module has two physical ports with two demodulators, four in total.
IP input The multistandard receiver module has two IP inputs (MPTS and/or SPTS) for descrambling and demultiplexing video content carried over IP networks.
External antenna control and power supply The multistandard receiver module is able to provide power for LNB or for in- line amplifier. It can control external devices with adjustable voltage, 22kHz tone generator and DiSEqC 1.1 commands (multi-dish switch control).
Advanced Transport Stream Processing The receiver module has a built-in Advanced Transport Stream Processing (ATSP) feature to process six input streams. ATSP allows to select and adjust service line up to the operator’s own network. The ATSP feature provides a high degree of automated functions to minimize the cost of system set-up and operation. It also reduces downtime due to changes in the received services. Service high-availability The Advanced Transport Stream Processing function is capable of following any changes in the incoming streams and dynamically adjust the processing to reflect the changes correctly in the output streams. A typical case is an audio component which is available only during a particular program. The ATSP function can detect the appearing audio component, adjust the internal filters to pass through the audio stream and update the outgoing Program Map Tables to

contain information on the new audio stream. When the audio component disappears, the filter status and PMT tables are again updated accordingly. The ATSP function uses the Service ID of the incoming streams as the basis for the follow-up. Any components belonging to a particular Service ID can be followed up dynamically based on multiple criteria: component type (e.g. audio, teletext), component tag, PID value, and language priority lists (applicable to audio, teletext and subtitle streams). Remove unnecessary components = save bandwidth The operator may want to selectively filter out some of the incoming service components – either to save bandwidth or otherwise simplify the outgoing stream content. The filtering criteria may be either dynamic based on Service ID and component properties or simple based on PID filtering. The filtering logic can be either exclusive (black list) or inclusive (white list). Adjust channel lineup The ATSP function provides tools to generate consistent and correct channel lineup of the outgoing streams. The function includes Service ID remapping, service renaming and different PID remapping options. The PID remapping options are e.g. based on elementary stream type or stream ID. The automatic PID remapping option prevents PID and ID conflicts at the output. Luminato has internal rules to create unique PID value for every output component. Therefore, it is easy to remultiplex and avoid PID conflicts. PSI/SI generation The PSI/SI tables for the outgoing streams are automatically regenerated based on the content of the incoming streams and the filtering/remapping performed by the ATSP function. Consequently, the outgoing streams are automatically DVB compliant. There is also a possibility to use custom tables instead of the automatically generated ones.
EIT demultiplexing EIT (event information) tables in DVB are used for transmitting the EPG program schedule and, separately, similar information about present and following program. EIT sections are transmitted on a fixed PID 0x12, containing EIT information for each service in the mux (or services in other muxes). With a Luminato receiver having EIT demultiplexing license, operator can demultiplex the EIT present/following or EPG information in the incoming stream for further multiplexing in outgoing streams. When Luminato or group of Luminatos are equipped with EPG module all received EIT information is stored to the database of EPG module regardless is the EIT demultiplexing activated or not.
Descrambling Luminato receiver can use DVB Common Interface modules to descramble incoming scrambled services. A wide range of Common Interface modules are verified to operate in Luminato receivers. Receivers with descrambling capability are equipped with dual Common Interface module slot, two RF inputs (two receivers in both inputs) and two IP inputs. The Common Interface modules can be flexibly connected to any of the inputs. For example

Two of the inputs can have their own Common Interface module one input can use both modules for descrambling a higher number of services descrambling two different CAS system in one stream
The inputs not assigned for descrambling can be used to process free-to-Air services or to pass through scrambled services. The descrambling is fully supported by the Advanced Transport Stream Processing feature, which will automatically set the PSI/SI tables and stream filters according to performed descrambling. For example, the ECM streams of descrambled services are removed automatically and the Program Map Table indicates the service as non-scrambled. Luminato supports also pass through scrambled services, including ECM and EMM streams.
DRM Content protection with DVB CSA and AES The receiver module has an optional capability to do DVB CSA or AES content protection. Additional embedded scrambling doesn’t require any further hardware. The user can select which services are scrambled. The component type level scrambling is also supported to allow only video and audio scrambling and leave other streams untouched to avoid descrambling challenges for burst data in STB.
UDP/IP and RTP streaming All Luminato receivers support industry standard MPEG Transport Stream over both UDP/IP and RTP stream formats. Use of RTP improves interoperability between other equipment like set-top-boxes, head-end devices, measurement devices, etc. in IP video streaming applications, and provides better error detection and correction possibilities compared to plain UDP transmission. The default structure is 7 TS packets per Ethernet frame, but also other TS packet count may be configured for special uses, such as TDT/TOT streaming, requiring timely delivery of single TS packets. The receivers support both multicast and unicast streaming for maximum flexibility. The modules perform traffic shaping to ensure reliable streaming even in highly loaded systems.
VBR/CBR streaming Receiver module’s IP output can operate either in Variable Bitrate or Constant Bitrate mode. In VBR mode (default), null packets are filtered to save bandwidth. Some third party equipment, however, assume CBR mode for reliable operation. In flexible CBR mode, bit rate limit must be set high enough to allow some peaking. In CBR strict mode, packets exceeding the bitrate limit are dropped.
Emergency signal streaming All output services in MPTS or SPTS streams can be overridden with a user specified multicast stream content. After trigger event all existing services are

Capacity Any module has output streaming capacity of up to approximately 500Mbps. An individual received stream can be up to 145 Mbps and total input capacity can be up to 900 Mbps. Common Interface modules (if used) may limit the max bit rate to lower numbers. Receiver module can create up to 120 output IP streams.
