1.4 Stream Processing Overview

The NSG 9000 accepts a GbE input, and outputs MPEG data over

QAM-RF signal. The following diagram shows the flow of data through the GbE channel.

NOTE: The diagram shows the flow of data via a single Quadruple

QAM-RF module. NSG 9000 may include up to 9 Quadruple QAM modules.

Table 1-6: Environmental Specifications

Parameter Description

Operating temperature 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F)

Storage temperature –20 to 80 °C (–4 to 176 °F)

Relative humidity Maximum 95% non-condensing

Ventilation If units are installed in a closed rack, the rack must be

ventilated to ensure proper cooling of the units. Ventilation

rate must be:

At least 1.0 cubic meter per minute (35 cubic feet per

minute) per NSG 9000 unit.

Ventilation rate must be at least 2.2 M3/min (78 CFM) per

NSG 9000 unit. This is the air flow through the unit while fans

operate at full speed.
