IP address entered with no additional steps necessary. However, older COM200 Chassis (pseudo
codes BC004 and NC004) require that multicast streams be sent out the front port and an
external Ethernet switch be used. The default value is 192.168.0.0.
Dest_Port_Number – This field represents the port of the IP address you wish to stream video
to. Depending upon the destination, this value may not be freely chosen. The default value is 0.
Protocol_Type – This field is used to control whether the COM46 streams the data in UDP or
RTP packet structures. The default value is UDP.
Channel_Object_ID – This field is the data that the COM46 actually uses for tuning purposes.
It will be automatically filled in when a valid DIRECTV channel number is entered into the
“Major_Number” field. Before the card has been successfully tuned, the default value is 0.
For some local markets, there are multiple DIRECTV channels with the same channel numbers.
To resolve this issue, the Major_Number and Minor_Number should be set to zero and the
correct Channel_Object_ID must be entered. Contact Technicolor to convert the television call
letters to the Channel_Object_ID.
Major_Number – This field is equivalent to the DIRECTV channel number you tune to on a
typical DIRECTV tuner. The default value is 0.
Minor_Number – This field is automatically filled in by the COM46 card, with a default value
of 65535. If the DIRECTV channel has a minor channel number then the Minor_Number value
must be entered.
Many DIRECTV channels have both high-definition and standard-definition channels with the
same Major and Minor numbers. The COM46 will prefer the high-definition channels in this
case. To prefer the standard-definition channels instead, add 100000 to the Minor_Number. In
most cases, this would cause the Minor_Number to be 165535 if the standard-definition channel
is desired. A COM46-FLX which has not been upgraded to HD will only allow tuning to
standard-definition channels.
Stream_ID – This field is optional, and allows a unique identifier to be applied to every video
stream produced by the COM2000 system. The allowable values for this field are any whole
number between 1 and 65535. The default value is 111.
To enable a second audio stream set the Stream_ID to 54000.
Security_Mode – Typically, this field will not need to be changed. The only settings most
should be concerned with are ‘0 = None’, ‘1 = Pro_Idiom’, and ‘2 = Simulcrypt’. The Simulcrypt
mode is used with the Samsung LYNK

system. The ‘0’ (“off”) setting will only work on
DIRECTV channel 100. This allows you to turn Pro:Idiom encryption off so that a standard
HDTV or PC-based utility like VLC Media Player can be used for troubleshooting. The value
should be set to ‘1’ or ‘2’ at any other time. The default value is 0.
