Setup Information
This document provides installation and setup support only for the OAT100R. One or more
VHF and/or UHF antennas must be installed before you proceed to set up the OAT100R. LG
recommends that the system be professionally installed.
Check the following items before you begin the OAT100R installation and setup procedures.
VHF and/or UHF Antennas
__ Create a station plan for the OAT100R terrestrial input(s).
__ Install the appropriate antenna(s) in accordance with the desired channels. The VHF and/
or UHF antenna(s) must be located where it/they will have unobstructed access to the
terrestrial signals. Amplify the antenna distribution as necessary.
__ Point the antenna(s) so as to achieve the best signal quality (use appropriate equipment
for measurement purposes).
__ Up to eight 75 ohm RG-6 or larger coaxial cables from the terrestrial antenna distribution
system should be available for connection to the OAT100R.
__ Confirm that the installation environment meets the >17 dB specification for the OAT100R
RF input signal-to-noise ratio.
__ Measure the signal level at each of the OAT100R RF inputs. For proper system
performance, the signal level at each RF input must be between +3 dBm (+52 dBmV) and
-83 dBm (-34 dBmV). A nominal value of -53 dBm (-4 dBmV) is recommended. Note that
additional equipment (i.e., attenuators) may be required to adjust the signal level.
OAT100R
__ Unpack the OAT100R unit and all accessories.
OAT100R Accessories:
• AC Power Cord and Adapter
__ Select the location for mounting the OAT100R. Ensure that adequate ventilation is available
.
__ Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the OAT100R chassis in its targeted
location.
__ Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access for
the OAT100R. You will also need the following to connect a PC directly to the OAT100R
for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).
Channel Assignments for RF Output
__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to
incorporate the RF output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to four contiguous CATV
broadcast channels are allocated for the OAT100R RF output. The OAT100R uses either
a 256-QAM or 64-QAM modulation format, thereby occupying approximately 24 MHz of
frequency spectrum.
The RF start channel is user-assigned during system setup, and the remaining channels
are then automatically assigned per EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation standards.
For example, if the RF start channel assignment is channel 2, the three remaining channels
8

Setup Information (Cont.)
will be 3, 4, and 5. However, if the RF start channel assignment is 6, the three remaining
channels will be 95, 96, and 97. Refer to EIA-542 STD CATV frequency allocation tables
for further information as required.
The highest available RF channel number for the OAT100R is 135. Thus, to allocate all
four channels available for OAT100R RF output, the RF start channel must be set no
higher than 132.
__ Find a location on the frequency spectrum that is free of existing noise.
Channel Assignments for IP Output
__ The OAT100R outputs IPv4 multicast streams. Ensure the institution’s IP network and
room receivers support IPv4 multicast and that the network is capable of selectively routing
multicast traffic. Refer to vendor equipment documentation for further information.
__ Create a channel assignment plan for the installation site, or modify an existing plan to
incorporate the IP output of the OAT100R. Ensure that up to eight unused and unreserved
IPv4 multicast addresses, within the designated range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are
allocated for the OAT100R IP output.
IP channels are user-assigned during system setup. You may opt to specify an IP start
channel and enable the system to auto-increment the remaining channel assignments. For
example, if the IP start channel assignment is 227.0.0.40, the remaining channels will be
227.0.0.41, 227.0.0.42, etc. Or, you may opt to manually specify the IP details for each IP
channel.
__ Reserve at least one User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for the multicast data streams.
You can use the system default (1234) or another unassigned port number for each data
stream, as required, for example, 50000, 50001, etc. The port(s) must avoid conflict with
other protocols in use.
Note: Refer to the IANA IPv4 Multicast Address Space Registry and/or the IANA Service
Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry for further IP address/port information as
required.
Packet Identifiers (PIDs)
Note: If Pro:Idiom channels are NOT present in the site’s entertainment system, PIDs do not
need to be set in the OAT100R, and therefore, you will not need to design a PID map for the
OAT100R output.
Note: See also “Packet Identifiers (PIDs) Overview” on the following page.
__ Survey the PIDs currently used in the system, and design a PID map for the OAT100R
output (ensure that up to 64 PIDs are allocated). Ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are
never used by the video/audio PIDs for the OAT100R channels (or any other system
elements).
The program start PID is user-assigned during system setup, and the 63 remaining PIDs
are then automatically assigned within the 64-PID contiguous block.
__ PIDs must be specified in the OAT100R system as hexadecimal numbers.

Packet Identifiers (PIDs) Overview
Each RF channel has five or more associated PIDs assigned in a hierarchy (see diagram
below), and the content of each RF channel is carried in a transport stream.
The transport stream is a packet-based protocol, where each packet has a PID that is used to
uniquely identify packets for particular purposes (video, audio, etc.). This allows multiple video
and audio streams to be multiplexed without receiver confusion. For example, if a stream
contains three video programs, each video program has a unique PID. The PAT PID is always
0x0000 and all other PIDs can be in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive.
The PAT and PMT are tables that indicate which PIDs are used for which purposes. The PAT
contains a list of PMT PIDs. The PMT contains a list of the PIDs of elementary stream data,
such as audio or video, etc. Typical transport streams contain one PID for the PAT, as well as
three or more PIDs for each program (one for PMT, one for video, and one or more for audio).
The PIDs used for each elementary stream must be unique to allow receivers to properly
demultiplex.
Pro:Idiom adds a third PID type to each PMT. The Pro:Idiom message PID may fall anywhere
in the range 0x0010 to 0x1ffe, inclusive and also must be unique. If Pro:Idiom channels are
present in the target system, ensure that Pro:Idiom message PIDs are never used on any
other streams in that system. To facilitate PID allocation, the OAT100R uses a block of 64
contiguous PIDs that can be moved by selecting the start PID.
Refer to ISO/IEC 13818-1:2000, Section 2.4.3, “Specification of the Transport Stream syntax
and semantics,” for further information.
