Cisco D9800 Analog Video and Audio Output Decoder - Audio/video output module
- MPEG and Dolby Digital audio decoding
- DVB or Imitext subtitling
- Four or eight audio outputs providing either two or four stereo pairs of balanced audio, each with the ability to use part of the output for applications such as second audio program (SAP), cue tones, and so on
- Uplink-addressable decoder output control, including vertical blanking interval (VBI) data, audio routing, DPI, and ASI output
- Fingerprint-triggered output to identify piracy sources
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for setup, control, and monitoring
- Front panel liquid crystal display (LCD) for control and monitoring
- Web browser interface for easy setup, control, and monitoring
- DVB-VBI and SCTE-127 support
- Dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) cue tone and cue trigger outputs for advertisement insertion
- Digital program mapping providing uplink control for service replacements in blackout areas
The Cisco D9800 Network Transport Receiver is capable of decoding MPEG-2, AVC (if licensed), and HEVC (if licensed) compressed video content and outputting SDI baseband digital video. The decoder will decode any input resolution compliant with the codec standard that is licensed to decode. The SDI and composite outputs will automatically downscale based on the output resolution that the unit is licensed for up to 1080p60. Two SDI ports can be configured mirrored for redundancy or one native and one down-converted from the same input source.

Digital program distribution
The Cisco D9800 Network Transport Receiver offers asynchronous serial interface (ASI) transport output and MPEGoIP output (HW option). These outputs provide a decrypted program for digital distribution when a codec or bitrate change is not needed. This capability provides the original compressed video programs on the outputs.

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 tuning. 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 alternate programming in the digital tier.

Digital advertisement insertion
Digital program insertion (DPI) information is available along with the video and audio PIDs for external advertisement insertion in compressed digital format.
