Configuring the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module
This document describes how to configure the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module. The Cisco uMG9850 supports the ITU-T J.83 Annex B standard for the delivery of digital video and audio signals.
This module, designed for Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switches, supports the delivery of digital broadcast and video-on-demand (VoD) services on a hybrid fiber coax (HFC) cable network. It accepts Moving Pictures Expert Group-2 (MPEG-2) digital video from an IP network, and outputs the video as a quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) RF stream that can be received by digital set-top boxes (STBs) over the cable network.

Information About the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module
This section introduces the following concepts that are important in understanding how this product works:
• UDP Port Mappings: Default, Manual, and Emulation Mode
Basic Concepts
To configure and use the Cisco uMG9850 series, note the following concepts.
Digital Video
•Video on demand (VoD)—VoD service provides the cable subscriber with VCR-like control over a video program. The service can be offered as a transactional (pay per view), subscription (flat fee), or free service. The digital video content is stored on a VoD server in the local cable system, and streamed in real time to the set-top box (STB) upon request. The VoD server and STB client applications communicate through an out-of-band network to initiate a VoD session and control the stream playout. The VoD server provides tuning information (for example, RF frequency, MPEG program number) to enable the STB client to tune to the VoD program. The VoD program is typically output by the VoD server in a single program transport stream (SPTS) encapsulated in UDP/IP for transmission to the Cisco uMG9850, which multiplexes several SPTS into a multiple program transport stream (MPTS) for delivery on a QAM channel to the STB. Each VoD stream is unicast to a single cable subscriber.
•Stream—A stream is the output from an MPEG audio or video encoder. The output of a single encoder is an elementary stream (ES). One video stream and one or more audio streams can be combined by means of a shared clock reference into a program, which is the basic unit of a digital video service.
For digital video services on a cable network, video and audio streams are transmitted in a transport stream, which uses fixed-size packets for digital transmission. One or more programs can be combined in a transport stream. An SPTS contains only one program, and an MPTS contains multiple programs. The Cisco uMG9850 accepts both an SPTS and an MPTS as input, and outputs an MPTS for transmission to an STB. A program clock reference (PCR) is included for each program in the transport stream. Transport streams also contain information for the STB to locate a selected program.
•Session—A session is a stream of video programming being received over an IP network. Sessions can be unicast or multicast. A unicast session is identified by its UDP port number. A multicast session is identified by its multicast group address. A session can be mapped to one or more QAM channels on a Cisco uMG9850.
•Program—A program is the audio and video content being delivered to customers.
•Packet identifier—Each elementary stream in a program is identified by a unique packet identifier (PID). The PID of each elementary stream in an MPTS output by the Cisco uMG9850 must be unique, so the STB can locate a selected program. The Cisco uMG9850 may change the PID of one or more elementary streams in an incoming SPTS, to ensure the uniqueness of PIDs in an outgoing MPTS.
Note PIDs can range from 0 to 8191, but PIDs 0 and 1 are preassigned, and PIDs 2 through 15 are reserved for system use.
•Program-specific information (PSI)—Each transport stream includes a program association table (PAT) that lists every program in the stream. Each program's entry in the PAT points to a program map table (PMT), which lists the PID for each elementary stream that makes up each program in the transport stream.
•Service information (SI)—Service information provides the data necessary for navigation among digital service offerings. SI may be carried within a program (with audio/video streams) or as a separate data stream. SI is typically conveyed in accordance with a standard protocol such as the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) and Digital Video Broadcasting Service Information (DVB-SI).
•UDP port map—For unicast sessions, a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port map describes the relationship between (1) the UDP port number of a session and (2) the QAM channel and program number to be assigned to that session. The Cisco uMG9850 uses the UDP port map to route each incoming program to the correct QAM channel or channels. The Cisco uMG9850 includes a default port map, which may be overwritten with a user-defined UDP port map. The video source (VoD server or statistical multiplexer) and the Cisco uMG9850 must be configured with the same UDP port map.
•Program Data Delivery (PDD)—STB client applications such as an electronic program guide (EPG), which enables the cable subscriber to browse and select content for viewing, require program data to be delivered from the respective server application in the headend. (For more information about this feature on the Cisco uMG9850, see Program Data Delivery.)
•Service group—A service group is a group of STBs that have access to a common set of broadcast and narrowcast QAM channels. The STBs in a service group share the narrowcast QAM channels.
•Stream cloning—Certain video and program data streams are delivered to multiple STBs. Because STBs are divided into service groups, these streams have to be delivered on at least one QAM channel in each service group. To utilize the IP network most efficiently, a single copy of each stream is transmitted to the Cisco uMG9850, which then "clones" (makes multiple copies of) the stream for output on multiple QAM channels. Stream cloning instructions are predetermined by user commands on the Cisco uMG9850.
Cloning is useful for digital broadcast services when the QAM channels are not electrically split for delivery to all service groups. Multicast streams can be cloned to QAM channels on multiple Cisco uMG9850 modules, while unicast streams can be cloned to QAM channels on a single Cisco uMG9850.
Digital Broadcast
Digital broadcast service provides the cable subscriber with a large selection of programs and a high-quality picture. The digital video content is typically received from a satellite broadcasting to a receiver at the headend, from where it is delivered in real time to all subscribers in the cable system. A statistical multiplexer is often used in the headend to combine broadcast programs from multiple sources and generate an MPTS for delivery to the STBs. Program information is also sent to the STB client application, to enable the cable subscriber to browse and select a broadcast program for viewing.
The Cisco uMG9850 supports the following key features for delivering digital broadcast services:
•Multicast sessions—Each digital broadcast program is typically delivered to all STBs in a cable system. Multiple QAM channels are allocated for digital broadcast programs, and each QAM channel is electrically split for delivery to each service group. To utilize the IP network most efficiently, digital broadcast programs are multicast by the statistical multiplexer (or other video source) to the Cisco uMG9850. The Cisco uMG9850 uses the multicast group address and source address of each multicast session to route each incoming program to the correct QAM channel or channels. The relationship between the multicast group address and the QAM channels is predetermined by user commands on the Cisco uMG9850.
•MPTS pass-through—Digital broadcast services are typically delivered in an MPTS from a statistical multiplexer (or other video source) to the Cisco uMG9850. The Cisco uMG9850 passes the MPTS through to the STBs without remultiplexing the video streams. The Cisco uMG9850 may update the PCR or TSID information in the MPTS as necessary to output a valid transport stream. The Cisco uMG9850 outputs the MPTS on one or more QAM channels based on the UDP port map (for unicast sessions) or multicast group address (for multicast sessions) of the incoming stream.
Video Configuration Modes
It is helpful to understand the various command modes that are used to configure and monitor video services. The following command modes are illustrated in this document:
• Interface Configuration Mode
• Subinterface Configuration Mode
Privileged EXEC Mode
Use this configuration mode to execute show and debug commands that are specific to video, as well as to other functions on the switch. The following prompt illustrates privileged EXEC mode:
Switch#
Global Configuration Mode
Use this configuration mode to enter interface and subinterface provisioning modes (through the configure terminal command), to execute commands that support video on the entire switch. The following shows how to enter global provisioning mode:
Switch# config terminal
Switch(config)#
Interface Configuration Mode
There are 12 QAM ports or interfaces (F-connectors) on the Cisco uMG9850, in three RF modulator circuit packages with four F-connectors each. Each package performs QAM modulation and RF upconversion.
The four QAM ports in each modulator circuit package are split into two modulator groups. Thus, each modulator group consists of two QAM ports. Ports 1 and 2 form the first modulator group, ports 3 and 4 form the second modulator group, and so on. There are a total of six modulator groups on the Cisco uMG9850. Both QAM ports in a modulator group share the same video format and interleave settings.
Each QAM port supports two QAM channels, and is addressed as a upconverter group. When both QAM channels are enabled, the output of a QAM port occupies 12 MHz of contiguous bandwidth. Thus, the center frequencies of the two QAM channels in an upconverter group are offset by 6 MHz. Both QAM channels in an upconverter group operate at the same output power.
Video and asynchronous serial interface (ASI) interfaces are addressed, respectively, by the interface qam interface command and the interface asi interface command, as follows:
interface—Slot and port number in slot/port format, where slot is the physical slot in which the Cisco uMG9850 module resides in the switch, and port is the port on the module. The valid range for slot varies with the type of switch (see Determining the Location of a Cisco uMG9850 in the Switch). The valid range for a video (QAM) port is 1 to 12, with no default.
Address a video interface as in the following example for a module in slot 6:
Switch(config)# interface qam 6/1
Switch(config-if)#
The ASI port is always port 15. Address an ASI interface as in the following example for a module in slot 6:
Switch(config)# interface asi 6/15
Switch(config-if)#
Subinterface Configuration Mode
QAM channels are addressed as interface.qam, where interface is slot/port (discussed above), and qam is the QAM channel of interest. The options for qam are 1 or 2, with no default.
Address a QAM channel as in the following examples for a module in slot 6:
Switch(config)# interface qam 6/1.1
Switch(config-subif)#
or
Switch(config)# interface qam 6/1.2
Switch(config-subif)#
Tip For convenience in entering QAM channel provisioning mode, simply address slot/port.1
UDP Port Mappings: Default, Manual, and Emulation Mode
This section discusses the binary mapping scheme for user datagram protocol (UDP) port numbers (also referred to as session numbers) as used by the Cisco uMG9850 for default mappings, as well as issues related to remapping UDP ports manually when default configurations are not used. An emulation mode feature facilitates the redirection of video streams destined for third-party QAM gateways to a Cisco uMG9850.
The following topics are presented:
• Default Cisco uMG9850 Binary Mapping Scheme for UDP Port Numbers
Default Cisco uMG9850 Binary Mapping Scheme for UDP Port Numbers
Table 1 illustrates the default binary mapping scheme used by the Cisco uMG9850 to map a UDP port number to a slot, QAM channel, and program number (from most-significant to least-significant bit, respectively). These default mappings are used for preconfigured UDP port mappings.
Note To accommodate additional shelves in future Cisco switches, the default mapping has been changed from that in the previous release. One extra bit has been allocated for the slot number in default UDP port mapping.
Normally, UDP port mappings are preconfigured in a file that resides on the VoD server and must conform to the mapping scheme in Table 1. Otherwise, new UDP port mappings must be entered manually. See Manual Mapping.

•There are 16 bits in the UDP port number, from bit 15 to bit 0.
•Bit 15 is set to 1.
•Bits 14 through 11 define the slot number. Range is 3 to 9.
•Bits 10 through 5 define the QAM number. Range is 1 to 24.
•Bits 4 through 0 define the program (or session) number. Range is 1 to 25.
Example: UDP port number 38946 (0x9822) renders in binary as 1 0011 000001 00010. Following the fixed bit (1), this represents slot 3 (0011), QAM 1 (000001), and program 2 (00010).
Note A Cisco uMG9850 can accept a maximum of 600 maps: 24 QAM channels times 25 programs.
Table 2 shows the default mapping of QAM subinterfaces and channels to UDP ports.

Note To change UDP portmapping from the default, use the command video <slot> route vlan. See also Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional).
Manual Mapping
To create a nondefault mapping manually, use a number starting with decimal 49152 (or hexadecimal 0xc000) to configure a UDP port mapping for one session or a range of sessions at a time. (Numbers can be entered in either format. The system automatically identifies a hexadecimal input by its "0x" prefix). Table 3 shows nondefault UDP port ranges in decimal and hexadecimal formats.
Note All user-configured UDP port mappings must begin with decimal 49152 (or hexadecimal 0xc000).

Tip To enter a UDP port mapping manually, any number in the above range is sufficient. The number 49152 is used in the examples in this document.
Emulation Mode
The Cisco uMG9850 is able to emulate the UDP port mapping of third-party QAM gateways that accommodate fixed QAM-channel groups of eight or 24 channels each. Up to three eight-channel gateways or one 24-channel gateway can be emulated. The user's mappings are converted to the scheme used by the Cisco uMG9850, and then are reconverted to the user's mapping scheme. IP addresses are assigned automatically. Mapping schemes for some third-party gateways are presented below.
Third-Party Bitwise 8-QAM Mapping Scheme
Table 4 presents an example bitwise mapping scheme for a third-party QAM gateway.

•For bits 15 to 8, one bit represents one QAM channel. QAM channels range from 1 to 8.
•Session (program) numbers range from 1 to 25.
•Example: UDP port number 0x1007 represents the following:
QAM channel 5, program 7
Note If fewer than three IP addresses are chosen, the QAM channels that would be associated with the unchosen addresses are unused. For the following, see Table 1.
•Example: Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3. The first IP address is mapped to QAM channels 1 through 8 on the module. An incoming stream sent to the first IP address and UDP port 0x1007 (program 7 on QAM channel 5) is mapped to UDP port 0x98a7 (1 0011 000101 00111) and is output as program 7 on subinterface 3/3.1 (QAM channel 5).
•Example: Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3. The second IP address is mapped to QAM channels 9 through 16 on the module. An incoming stream sent to the second IP address and UDP port 0x1007 (program 7 on QAM channel 5) is mapped to UDP port 0x99a7 (1 0011 001101 00111) and is output as program 7 on subinterface 3/7.1 (QAM channel 13).
Third-Party Bytewise 8-QAM Mapping Scheme
The QAM channels and session numbers are partitioned as follows:
•In this scheme the QAM channels are represented by whole one-byte values. QAM channels range from 1 to 8.
•Session (program) numbers range from 1 to 25.
•Example: UDP port number 0x1607 represents the following:
QAM channel 22, program number 7
Note If fewer than three IP addresses are chosen, the QAM channels that would be associated with the unchosen addresses are unused. For the following, see Table 1.
•Example: Cisco uMG9850 in slot 4. The second IP address is mapped to QAM channels 9 through 16 on the module. An incoming stream sent to the second IP address and UDP port 0x0307 (program 7 on QAM channel 3) is mapped to UDP port 0xa167 (1 0100 001011 00111) and is output as program 7 on subinterface 4/6.1 (QAM channel 11).
Third-Party Bytewise 24-QAM Mapping Scheme
The QAM channels and session numbers are partitioned as follows:
•In this scheme the QAM channels are represented by whole one-byte values. QAM channels range from 1 to 24. IP packets can be mapped to any of the 24 QAM channels
•Session (program) numbers range from 1 to 25.
•Example: UDP port number 0x1607 represents the following:
QAM channel 22, program number 7
•Example: Cisco uMG9850 in slot 4. The IP address is mapped to QAM channels 1 through 24 on the module. An incoming stream sent to the IP address and UDP port 0x1307 (program 7 on QAM channel 19) is mapped to UDP port 0xa267 (1 0100 010011 00111) and is output as program 7 on port subinterface 4/10.1 (QAM channel 19).
To accommodate the UDP port mapping schemes used by third-party QAM gateways that may already be installed in a VoD network, it is possible to use the video slot emulation-mode command (see video <slot> emulation-mode). For example, where a third-party QAM gateway supports fixed groups of eight QAM channels, the emulation feature accommodates up to three sequential IP addresses—one for each eight-channel group, as shown in Table 5. The user enters only one IP address when the VLAN is configured (see Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional)). The other addresses are configured automatically.

The Program Data Delivery (PDD) support provided by the Cisco uMG9850 makes possible the delivery of electronic program guide (EPG) data, other client data, and navigation data to a client application running on the set-top box, enabling the subscriber to browse and select content for viewing. (PDD applies to both broadcast video and video on demand.) Program data can be delivered to the STB either in-band (on a shared QAM channel with digital video services) or out-of-band (on a DOCSIS or QPSK channel). When delivered in-band, the program data is typically delivered as private data in a low-bitrate MPEG program with multiple PIDs. Most cable systems deliver such data through one or more in-band carousels to which the client tunes at startup, as well as during program navigation, as needed.
Program-related information is streamed from a server, and can be delivered to subscribers in-band through the Cisco uMG9850. The data are encapsulated as SPTS MPEG-2 streams delivered by means of UDP/IP, as regular sessions are. Program data can be unicast or multicast from the server to the Cisco uMG9850.
To maximize the efficiency of the IP network, a single copy of a program data stream is sent to a Cisco uMG9850 QAM channel, where the stream can be cloned to one, several, or all QAM channels. Also, the program data stream may contain program clock references (PCRs), or may be a pure data stream without timing information. To support PDD and similar functionality, the Cisco uMG9850 remaps the PID, either by using the default map or a user-specified configuration.
PDD functionality on the Cisco uMG9850 supports the following:
•Multicast
•Cloning
•Programs having up to 31 elementary streams
Note For example procedures, including conditions and restrictions, see Configuring Program Data Delivery (PDD) Features.
How to Configure the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module
This section presents a variety of tasks for configuring the Cisco uMG9850. Table 6 lists these tasks by category. A variety of configurations are possible, depending upon the network design. Most likely, video input is on one switch, and the Cisco uMG9850 modules reside on one or more switches in different subnets. A video stream may or may not use the same VLAN as the modules, and can enter the switch through any Gigabit Ethernet (GE) port that is available.

Determining the Location of a Cisco uMG9850 in the Switch
To provision one or more Cisco uMG9850 modules, you need to know where they reside in the Cisco Catalyst switch. Table 7 shows where the supervisor engines (SEs) and Cisco uMG9850 modules reside in the Cisco Catalyst switch models that support the Cisco uMG9850.
If you do not know where the Cisco uMG9850 modules reside, do the following to determine their locations in the switch.
Tip You can do this in either user mode (illustrated below) or privileged EXEC mode.
Prerequisites
None
Restrictions
•Generally, you cannot configure a Cisco uMG9850 unless it is physically installed. The exception is the video slot route vlan command, which can be applied to nonsupervisory slots even if they are empty.
•You must wait at least 15 seconds after removing a module before you reinsert it. If you are removing more than one module, you must wait at least 15 seconds before removing the next. If you are inserting more than one module, you must wait at least 15 seconds before inserting the next. Otherwise, an assertion error is raised and you must reboot the switch.

What to Do Next
Proceed to Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional).
Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional)
Video streams on inbound GE interfaces are included in single VLANs to use network addresses more efficiently. The IP addresses and subnet masks configured for each VLAN interface populate the IP switching table on the switch with the forwarding information needed to forward the video packets to their destination. The number and use of VLANs varies according to the programming and management needs of the system operator.
Note Though optional, the use of VLANs for dedicated video traffic is recommended. For a detailed discussion, refer to video <slot> route vlan. Beginning with Release 12.2(20)EU, that command has been enhanced significantly.
Do the following to create a VLAN interface, assign an IP address to the incoming (video source) interface, and assign input GE ports to the VLAN.
Note It is the responsibility of the multiple system operator (MSO) to plan subnets and VLANS and assign addresses carefully.

Proceed to Configuring Video Routing.
Configuring Video Routing
The configuration of video routing changed considerably with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)EU. For a detailed discussion, see video <slot> route vlan. A VLAN must be specified, but a default UDP port range is provided. (A UDP port range can be specified if so desired.)
Do the following to route video packets to an explicit range of UDP ports, or use the default UDP port mapping scheme (see Default Cisco uMG9850 Binary Mapping Scheme for UDP Port Numbers).
Prerequisites
None
Restrictions
None
Note A Cisco uMG9850 module need not be present in the switch chassis to configure video routing. If no module is present, the video streams are dropped as long as video routing is configured correctly.

Example:Switch(config)# video 3 route vlan 20 udp 49152 65535
Configures the routing of video packets on a specific VLAN to a specified range of UDP ports. The parameters x and y set the lower and upper bounds of the range, respectively.
In this case, UDP packets sent to the IP address on VLAN 20, with destination ports from 49152 to 65535, are routed explicitly to the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3. If no UDP port ranges had been given in the command, then the default range from Table 2 would be used.
Step 4
no video slot route
Example:Switch(config)# no video 4 route vlan
(Optional) Removes the routing configuration for the module.
Note For the syntax of this command, see video <slot> route vlan.
What to Do Next
Proceed to Setting Emulation Modes for UDP Port Mapping (Optional).
Setting Emulation Modes for UDP Port Mapping (Optional)
As discussed in Emulation Mode, you can configure the Cisco uMG9850 to emulate the UDP port mapping schemes used by third-party bitwise and bytewise QAM gateways. This task illustrates how to emulate each type of gateway.
Note the following conditions and constraints:
•You must first establish a VLAN, using the vlan vlan-id command. See Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional).
•You need to establish only one IP address. The additional second or third IP address is added automatically, based on the address established in the previous step.
•Additional IP addresses apply only to bitwise and bytewise eight-channel QAM gateways.
•If any user-defined port map has been configured (see UDP Port Mappings: Default, Manual, and Emulation Mode), the emulation mode command is denied, with a warning to remove the map first.
•If emulation mode is active, note the following:
–The no video slot route command is not allowed. (See video <slot> route vlan). To disable emulation mode, use the no video slot emulation-mode command (see video <slot> emulation-mode).
–User-defined mappings are not allowed, through the video session command or the video udp command.
–If the UDP range required by the chosen emulation mode is not included in the UDP range used for video routing (see video <slot> route vlan), the command is rejected with the following message:
Cannot support emulation mode if video routing is not configured to include the range of UDP ports x to y required for this emulation mode.
The following shows how to emulate the UDP port mapping of each of the following QAM gateways:
•A third-party 8-channel QAM gateway that uses bitwise mapping
•A third-party 8-channel QAM gateway that uses bytewise mapping
•A third-party 24-channel QAM gateway that uses bytewise mapping

Example:Switch(config)# video 6 route vlan 20
Configures switching of video packets from the input GE port to the QAM channels on the Cisco uMG9850 in the specified slot. The vlan keyword is required, to select a Cisco Catalyst VLAN in which to route the packets.
See Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional), and video <slot> route vlan.
Step 4

Note This is required before the no video slot route command can be used.
Step 8 and Step 10 are identical but achieve different objectives.
What to Do Next
Proceed to Setting the Frequency and Output Power of the QAM Module Channels.
Setting the Frequency and Output Power of the QAM Module Channels
Each F-connector (QAM port) provides two QAM channels, and the output power and frequency are configured for both channels simultaneously. Setting frequency and power for one QAM channel automatically sets the appropriate values for the other channel in the same interface.
For background, see Interface Configuration Mode. QAM channels are provisioned in subinterface mode (see Subinterface Configuration Mode), which provides logical access to the subinterface command set for a given slot and port. Generally speaking, consider the provisioning of such basic functions as frequency and power, modulation format (see Setting the Modulation Format), and forward error correction (FEC) interleave level and mode (see Configuring the FEC Interleave Level and Mode) as taking place on both slot/port QAM channels simultaneously and automatically. Setting the power for one channel automatically sets the same power level on both channels. Configuring the frequency for one QAM channel automatically configures the correct frequency for the other QAM channel in its upconverter group. The frequency bandwidth of each QAM upconverter block is 12 MHz. Consequently, if slot/port.1 is set to frequency f1, then slot/port.2 is automatically set to frequency f1 + 6 MHz. Similarly, if slot/port.2 is set to frequency f2, then slot/port.1 is automatically set to frequency f2 - 6 MHz.
Do the following to set the frequency and output power of both QAM channels on a port in a Cisco uMG9850.

Step 4
video frequency frequency
Example:Switch(config-subif)# video freq 800
The frequency range for QAM slot/port.1 is 50 through 854 MHz, and for QAM slot/port.2 is 56 through 860 MHz.
Note For the syntax of this command, see video frequency.
Tip Frequency conflicts can result in undesirable results, depending on how QAM channels are cabled. To configure the software either to allow frequency conflicts or to check for them and block conflicting assignments, use the command video <slot> frequency allow-any.Step 5
video power power
Example:Switch(config-subif)# video power 50
When both QAM channels in an RF port are enabled, the allowed power range is 42 to 55 dBmV (102 to 115 dBmicroV). If only one QAM channel is enabled, the allowed range is 45 to 58 dBmV (105 to 118 dBmicroV).
Tip Power values must be entered in dBmV. To convert dBmV to dBmicroV, add 60 to the power in dBmV.Note If both QAM channels are up, RF port power is configured to power + 3 dBmV. If only one channel is up, RF port power is configured to power. If no channel is up, RF port power is not configured.
Frequency and power must be entered on separate command lines.
Note For the syntax of this command, see video power.
Step 6
Monitor video frequency and power.
(According to local practice.) We recommend that you use appropriate test equipment to monitor video frequency and power before proceeding.

Note For the syntax of this command, see interface qam.
Step 4
video format format
Example:Switch(config-subif)# video format 64
Sets the modulation format for all four channels in the QAM modulator group—that is, QAM channels 5/1.1, 5/1.2, 5/2.1, and 5/2.2, where
•format = QAM modulation format (64 or 256)
The default format is 256.
Tip If the FEC interleave level is set to 1, the option "256" (256QAM) is not available and does not appear. See Configuring the FEC Interleave Level and Mode.Note For the syntax of this command, see video format.
Configuring the FEC Interleave Level and Mode
Forward error correction (FEC) reduces bit error rate (BER) in data transmission by correcting recovered bit errors in the demodulator. Interleaving is a technique that reorders (in time) individual code-word bits with other code-word bits to spread error bursts over many different code words. The technique used is compliant with ITU J.83, Annex B.
Setting the interleave level and mode on any QAM channel sets the interleave level and mode for that modulator group. (For background, see Interface Configuration Mode.) If the interleave level and mode is set on one QAM channel, the same value is applied to all four QAM channels in the modulator group.
To set the FEC interleave level and mode for all four QAM channels in the modulator group, perform the following procedure:
Caution The default settings should be satisfactory. Realize that varying the settings can result in an increase in packet latency. Always monitor new settings to ensure that resulting bit error rates (BERs) are acceptable.

Step 5
video interleave mode mode
Example:Switch(config-subif)# video interleave mode 2
Sets the FEC interleave mode, which can be any value from 1 to 14, except 11 and 13. The default is 6.
Note The mode option can be used only when the interleave level is 2 (default).
Each mode determines a set of I and J values as defined in ITU J.83, Annex B. (Level and mode must be set on separate command lines.)
Note For the syntax of this command, see video interleave.
Statically Setting Session Timeouts
You can statically set a session timeout for the entire Cisco uMG9850 module, or for the entire switch, to determine when the session is closed when packets no longer come into the session. You can also set the time, following the absence of packets, at which a loss of signal is reported. Use the video slot timeout command to address an entire module in a given slot, and the video timeout command to address the entire switch. The options and parameters are the same in both cases.
When a session is closed, this means that the Cisco uMG9850 has not received any video packets for the given session's UDP port for the period determined by the video slot timeout session-close command or the video timeout session-close command. The session no longer exists, and is not listed following a show command. The range is 1 to 1440 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
When a session is inactive, this means that the Cisco uMG9850 has not received any video packets for the given session's UDP port for the period determined by the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command. The session still exists and is listed following a show command. If packets start arriving before the timer set by the video slot timeout session-close command or the video timeout session-close command counts down, the session becomes active. The range is 200 to 10000 milliseconds. The default is 5000 milliseconds.
The value for the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command should always be larger than the value configured for jitter.

Statically Routing a Range of Program Sessions to a QAM Channel
The UDP port number of each program session allows each session to be routed to a designated QAM channel by default. You can overwrite the default routing (which is signaled by the port number) and route a range of program sessions to a QAM channel.

Configuring Maximum Jitter for a Session
You can set the maximum allowable network jitter (packet latency variation) for a specified UDP port session. This global video setting affects the overall packet latency (at the buffer level) within an entire Cisco uMG9850.
Note The jitter option sets the size of a dejittering buffer that absorbs the input jitter. This buffer introduces system delay (the time for a packet to enter and leave the Cisco uMG9850). The greater the value of jitter, the greater the delay introduced to the output stream.You can change the size of the dejitter buffer at either the slot or the session level. (The default level is 100 milliseconds.) Changing it at the slot level changes the default value for jitter. Consequently, for all sessions having the default value for jitter, the jitter value is changed to the new value. For sessions that have nondefault jitter values (as configured by the video slot udp UDP-port-number jitter command; see video <slot> udp <UDP-port-number> jitter), their current jitter value is maintained.
Tip When setting the jitter value (the size of the dejitter buffer), take into consideration the network jitter (the inherent jitter introduced at the input of the Cisco uMG9850), and allow for clock tracking. Leave approximately 50 milliseconds for clock tracking. For example, if peak-to-peak network jitter is 100 milliseconds, set the jitter value to 150 milliseconds.
The value for the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command should always be larger than the value configured for jitter.SUMMARY STEPS

Note For the syntax of this command, see video udp.
Setting Up PSI Parameters
You can set up various program-specific information (PSI) parameters, either globally (for the entire switch) or on an individual QAM channel.
Note If any sessions are active in the switch, global program association table (PAT) and program map table (PMT) commands are rejected.
The range of the PAT and PMT intervals is 50 to 450 milliseconds. The default rate is the default rate for the switch, 100 milliseconds. If the QAM rates are different from the original switch rate, they are left unchanged. If they are the same as the original switch rate, the rate is changed on both the QAM channel and the switch.
Changing the default rates in global configuration mode changes the rates for the entire switch. Changing the default rates in subinterface configuration mode changes the rates for the selected QAM channel only.This section presents the following procedures:
• Setting PMT and PAT Intervals for the Switch
• Setting PMT and PAT Intervals on a QAM Channel
• Setting TSID and NIT-PID Values

Note For the syntax of this command, see video interval pmt.
Setting TSID and NIT-PID Values
At each hub, each QAM channel must have a unique transport stream ID (TSID). The software checks for and guarantees the uniqueness of a TSID within a chassis only.
Caution It is the responsibility of the operator to avoid TSID conflicts among switches. To see all the TSIDs within a switch, use the show video slot command (see show video <slot>), and address each Cisco uMG9850 in the switch.
The PID for the network information table, or NIT-PID, can be configured from the QAM interface. If the NIT-PID is already used as a video, audio, or data PID, the configuration is rejected.
For the transport stream that is to be transmitted over a QAM channel, you must configure the TSID and NIT-PID values for that channel.

Configuring the ASI Port for QAM Channel Routing (Optional)
You can route the output of a single QAM channel to the asynchronous serial interface (ASI) port to monitor the channel. This section discusses how to configure the ASI port, and route the output of a QAM channel to the ASI port.
Note Routing the output of a QAM channel to the ASI port does not disrupt the RF output.
This section presents the following procedures:
• Setting the Byte-Gap Value (S-rate) of the ASI Port
• Routing the Output of a QAM Channel to the ASI Port
Setting the Byte-Gap Value (S-rate) of the ASI Port
You can change the gap spacing of the data bytes in the output of the ASI port. The S-rate is the spacing of data bytes (the number of ASI transport null bytes between the data bytes) within the output transport stream. If there is not a sufficient number of data bytes in the stream, padding the stream with null bytes maintains the signal voltage and integrity.

Configuring Program Data Delivery (PDD) Features
The procedures in this section show you how to do the following in support of PDD (see Program Data Delivery):
•Clone a unicast UDP session to one, several, or all QAM channels on a Cisco uMG9850 with a specified output-program number.
•Clone a single copy of a PDD stream, or a multicast session, to one, several, or all QAM channels on a Cisco uMG9850.
•Use emulation mode to clone a stream or session. In emulation mode, the destination UDP port number determines the output QAM channel and program number.
PDD Conditions and Restrictions
Note the following conditions and restrictions:
•A UDP port map can be either clonable or not.
–Configure nonclonable UDP port maps in QAM subinterface configuration mode. See Subinterface Configuration Mode. Any UDP port map configured at the QAM subinterface level cannot be cloned.
–Configure clonable UDP port maps in global configuration mode. See Global Configuration Mode.
–A UDP port map outside the range specified by the video slot route vlan command (see video <slot> route vlan) cannot be cloned, even if it is a default map.
•Multicast sessions are clonable by default. They can be configured only in global configuration mode.
•There can be only one copy of an input session per QAM channel. If the user enters a conflicting number, an error message appears, as in the following example:
uMG9850(config)# video 4 udp 257 q4/1.1 prog 35
Udp port 257 already mapped to QAM4/1/1
•For a unicast or multicast session to be mapped to all QAM channels, it must not have been configured previously. Also, the selected output-program number must not have been used previously.
Caution Keep in mind that the Cisco uMG9850 remaps the PIDs of incoming sessions to ensure uniqueness in the outgoing MPTS (except for pass-through sessions, where PID remapping is not necessary). When PIDs are remapped, any references to PID values in PDD streams become invalid.
This section presents the following procedures:
• Cloning a Unicast UDP Session to One, Several, or All QAM Channels on a Module
• Cloning a PDD Stream or Multicast UDP Session to One, Several, or All QAM Channels on a Module
• Using Emulation Mode to Clone a Session
Cloning a Unicast UDP Session to One, Several, or All QAM Channels on a Module
You can map a unicast input UDP session to one, several, or all QAM channels on a Cisco uMG9850 with a specified output-program number. Program numbers can vary.
The following example illustrates the cloning of user-defined UDP ports. To clone default UDP ports, you must use program 26 and above.

Switch(config)# video 3 udp 60000 qam 3/5.1 program 5
Switch(config)# video 3 udp 60000 qam 3/7.1 program 7
Maps an input UDP session to a particular QAM channel with a specified output program number.
Note For the syntax of this command, see video <slot> udp <UDP-port-number> qam.
Repeat the command for each session and program to be mapped, one mapping per line. Each output can have a different program number. The slot can also vary.
This example clones UDP session 60000 on QAM channels 1, 5, 9, and 13 on a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3.
Caution If you perform this step, do not perform the following step. For a unicast or multicast session to be mapped to all QAM channels, it must not have been configured previously. Also, the selected output-program number must not have been used previously.
Step 4
video slot udp UDP-port-number all program program-number
Example:Switch(config)# video 3 udp 60000 all program 1
Maps a UDP session to all 24 QAM channels with a specified output program number.
Note For the syntax of this command, see video <slot> udp <UDP-port-number> all.
If you perform this step after performing the previous step, you receive an error message to the effect that UDP 60000 has already been used. See Caution above.
Cloning a PDD Stream or Multicast UDP Session to One, Several, or All QAM Channels on a Module
You can map a PDD stream or multicast session to one, several, or all QAM channels on a Cisco uMG9850. It is assumed that the multicast source is on one VLAN, and the Cisco uMG9850 is on another VLAN. It is also assumed that the necessary VLANs have been created and are active. (See Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional).)

Configuring Digital Broadcast Services
The procedures in this section show you how to do the following in support of digital broadcast services (see Digital Broadcast):
•Receive prepackaged digital broadcast services in the form of an MPTS by means of unicast or multicast, and output the MPTS without remultiplexing the video streams. The Cisco uMG9850 may update the program clock reference (PCR) or TSID information in the MPTS as necessary to output a valid transport stream.
•Receive SI data PIDs in a unicast or multicast UDP session that may or may not include PSI tables, and multiplex the SI data packets into an outgoing MPTS without remapping the SI PIDs or updating the PSI data of the MPTS.
This section presents the following procedures:
• Configuring MPTS Pass-through
Note See also Configuring Program Data Delivery (PDD) Features, for information about cloning an incoming MPTS and SI data to multiple QAM channels.
Configuring MPTS Pass-through
Multiple program transport stream (MPTS) pass-through is enabled by means of the pass-through keyword. For examples, see the following:
• video <slot> udp <UDP-port-number> qam
Configuring SI Pass-through
Service information (SI) pass-through is enabled by means of the no-snoop keyword. For examples, see the following:
• video <slot> udp <UDP-port-number> qam

Cisco uMG9850 Module: Showing IDPROM
The show idprom module command is useful to see whether the Cisco uMG9850 module has been programmed correctly. If not, the result of issuing the command is garbled text. If the module has been programmed correctly, you can see information related to the installed IDPROM, as well as standard diagnostic information related to the switch. Use the show idprom module slot command, where slot is the number of the slot in which the Cisco uMG9850 resides.
Note This show command is a Cisco Catalyst switch command.

Configuration Examples for the Cisco uMG9850 QAM Module
This section presents the following configurations on the QAM switch, the Cisco Catalyst 4507 that hosts the modules:
• QAM Switch Configuration with Different VLANs: Example
• QAM Switch Configuration with the Same VLAN: Example
Third-party VoD servers or other video sources provide video streams that are forwarded to a headend switch. The headend switch and Dhub switch, not illustrated or discussed below, must also be configured.
Note For a thorough discussion of video distribution architectures and related issues, refer to Cisco Gigabit-Ethernet Optimized VoD Solutions, at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/solution/vodsols/index.htmQAM Switch Configuration with Different VLANs: Example
Figure 1 illustrates Cisco uMG9850 modules in a QAM switch supporting different VLANs.
Figure 1 QAM Switch with Different VLANs
•VLAN 20 supports ingress multicast video traffic.
•VLANs 20, 31, 38, 39, and 166 support ingress unicast video traffic.
•VLAN 38 supports the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3.
•VLAN 30 supports the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 4.
•VLAN 165 supports the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 5.
•VLAN 20 supports the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 6.
•VLAN 39 supports the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 7.
•The Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3 forwards selected video streams (from QAM channels 3/1.1 to 3/12.2) to set-top boxes.
•The ASI port of the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3 is configured to route the output of QAM channel 3/1.1 to an MPEG analyzer (not shown).

QAM Switch Configuration with the Same VLAN: Example
Figure 2 illustrates Cisco uMG9850 modules in a QAM switch with a single VLAN supporting ports to route video streams to different boards.
Figure 2 QAM Switch with Different VLANs
•VLAN 20 supports ingress multicast video traffic to the following:
–Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3, UDP ports 257-500
–Cisco uMG9850 in slot 4, UDP ports 501-6200
–Cisco uMG9850 in slot 5, UDP ports 49152-49500
•The Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3 forwards selected video streams (from QAM channels 3/1.1 to 3/12.2) to set-top boxes.
•The ASI port of the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3 is configured to route the output of QAM channel 3/1.1 to an MPEG analyzer (not shown).

interface asi
You can route one of the 24 transport streams (QAM channels) to the asynchronous serial interface (ASI) output port. This allows you to route a stream to a decoder, monitor, or MPEG analyzer for troubleshooting. This command is used to enter ASI interface configuration mode, to use video route and video byte-gap.
To enter interface configuration mode for an asynchronous serial interface (ASI) output port on the Cisco uMG9850, use the interface asi command in global configuration mode.
interface asi slot/15
Syntax Description
interface
Enables interface configuration mode.
asi
Selects the ASI output port.
slot
Physical slot number for the Cisco uMG9850. For valid slot ranges, see Table 7.
15
Required physical port. The number of the ASI port on the Cisco uMG9850 is always 15.
Defaults
The number of the ASI port on the Cisco uMG9850 is always 15.
Command Modes
ASI interface configuration mode. See Interface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The ASI port is always port 15 on each module. The slot varies. Use no shut to enable the port.
Note Routing the output of a QAM channel to the ASI port does not disrupt the RF output.
Examples
The following example shows how to enter interface configuration mode for the ASI port on the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 6, assign QAM channel 6/7.2 to the ASI interface, and set a byte gap value of 1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface asi 6/15
Switch(config-if)# video route interface qam 6/7.2
Switch(config-if)# video byte-gap 1
Switch(config-if)# no shut

video <slot> emulation-mode
You can configure the Cisco uMG9850 to emulate the UDP port mapping of third-party QAM gateways that accommodate fixed QAM-channel groups of eight or 24 channels each. Up to three eight-channel gateways or one 24-channel gateway can be emulated. The user's mappings are converted to the scheme used by the Cisco uMG9850, and then are reconverted to the user's mapping scheme. See Emulation Mode.
To emulate UDP port mapping on a selected Cisco uMG9850, use the video slot emulation-mode command in global configuration mode. To enable default port mapping, use the no form of this command.
video slot emulation-mode {bitwise | 8-qam-number | 24-qam-number} [number number-ip-address]

Usage Guidelines
For an overview of emulation mode, see Emulation Mode. Note the following conditions and constraints:
•You must first establish a VLAN, using the command vlan vlan-id. See Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional).
•You need to establish only one IP address. The additional second or third IP address is added automatically, based on the address established in the previous step.
•Additional IP addresses apply only to bitwise and bytewise eight-channel QAM gateways.
•If emulation mode is active, the no video slot route command is not allowed. Use the no video slot emulation-mode command to disable emulation mode.
•If emulation mode is active, user-defined mappings are not allowed, through either the video session command or the video udp command.
•If any user-defined port map has been configured (see UDP Port Mappings: Default, Manual, and Emulation Mode), the emulation mode command is denied, with a warning to remove the map first:
Unconfigure the PIDs to be filtered, before configuring emulation mode
•Emulation mode does not accept packet ID (PID) remapping or filtering.
•There are constraints when the video slot route vlan command is used and emulation mode is enabled. See Setting Emulation Modes for UDP Port Mapping (Optional), and video <slot> route vlan.
–Before changing the video route, first disable emulation mode, as in the following example:
no video 4 emulation-mode
–If the UDP range required by the chosen emulation mode is not included in the UDP range used for video routing, the command is rejected with the following message:
Cannot support emulation mode if video routing is not configured to include the range of UDP ports x to y required for this emulation mode.

video <slot> frequency allow-any
Frequency conflicts can result in undesirable results, depending on how QAM channels are cabled. This command allows you to configure the software either to allow frequency conflicts or to check for them and block conflicting assignments.
To configure a selected Cisco uMG9850 to ignore conflicting frequencies from being configured, use the video slot frequency allow-any command in global configuration mode. To configure the Cisco uMG9850 to check for conflicting frequencies, use the no form of this command.
video slot frequency allow-any
no video slot frequency allow-any
Syntax Description
no
Instructs the software to check for frequencies that conflict with frequencies that have already been set.
slot
Slot in which the Cisco uMG9850 resides in the switch. For valid slot ranges, see Table 7.
frequency
Instructs the software to check for conflicting frequencies. Used with allow-any (see below).
allow-any
Parameter required to complete the command, both with and without the no form.
Defaults
Frequency conflicts are allowed.
Caution Because the default allows frequency conflicts, it is the responsibility of the multiple system operator (MSO) to avoid such conflicts. To instruct the Cisco uMG9850 to check for frequency conflicts, use the no video slot frequency allow-any command.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
If instructed to check for conflicts, the software checks whether any QAM channel has already been set to a frequency within the range -6 through +6 MHz of the frequency about to be configured. If the new frequency is within this range, the user is prevented from configuring the conflicting frequency.
The allow-any option is required to complete this command. There are no other options. Use the interface qam interface.qam frequency command to set the frequency on QAM channels.
Examples
The following example shows how to allow any frequency to be set on a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 6:
Switch(config)# video 6 frequency allow-any

video <slot> jitter
To configure jitter levels for a selected Cisco uMG9850, use the video slot jitter command in global configuration mode. To return to default values, use the no form of this command.
video slot jitter level
no video slot jitter
Syntax Description
slot
Slot in which the Cisco uMG9850 resides in the switch. For valid slot ranges, see Table 7.
jitter
Configures the size of the dejitter buffer for all the UDP sessions on the selected Cisco uMG9850.
level
Size of dejitter buffer in milliseconds. Range is 0 to 300.
Defaults
See Usage Guidelines, below.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The jitter option sets the size of a dejittering buffer that absorbs the input jitter. This buffer introduces system delay (the time for a packet to enter and leave the Cisco uMG9850). The greater the value of jitter, the greater the delay introduced to the output stream. You can change the size of the dejitter buffer at either the slot or the session level. (The default level is 100 milliseconds.) Changing it at the slot level changes the default value for jitter. Consequently, for all sessions having the default value for jitter, the jitter value is changed to the new value. For sessions that have nondefault jitter values (as configured by the video slot udp UDP-port-number jitter command; see video <slot> udp <UDP-port-number> jitter), their current jitter value is maintained.
Tip When setting the jitter value (the size of the dejitter buffer), take into consideration the network jitter (the inherent jitter introduced at the input of the Cisco uMG9850) and allow for clock tracking. Leave approximately 50 milliseconds for clock tracking. For example, if peak-to-peak network jitter is 100 milliseconds, set the jitter value to 150 milliseconds.
The value set by the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command should always be larger than the value configured for jitter.Examples
The following example shows how to set the jitter level on a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 6 to 150 milliseconds:
Switch(config)# video 6 jitter 150
The following example shows how to return the jitter level for a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 6 to default values:
Switch(config)# no video 6 jitter

Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The vlan argument is not used with the no form of the command.
With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(20)EU, each Cisco uMG9850 module no longer functions as an IP host. Now the supervisor engine (SE) in the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series switch plays that role, allowing for the aggregation of video traffic.
This command sets up the routing of UDP/IP (video) packets to the Cisco uMG9850. Acting as the IP host, the SE generally receives video traffic on the IP address configured on a VLAN. When the IP address of the selected VLAN is configured as the destination IP address of the video packets, any video packet destined to this IP address—and whose destination port matches the UDP range specified for video by this command—is routed to the selected Cisco uMG9850.
Note For a discussion of default and nondefault UDP port mapping, see UDP Port Mappings: Default, Manual, and Emulation Mode.
This command is also used in emulation mode. See Setting Emulation Modes for UDP Port Mapping (Optional).
Note the following conditions and constraints:
•The use of VLANs for dedicated video traffic is required. See Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Input Ports into a VLAN (Optional), and Configuring Video Routing.
•A Cisco uMG9850 module need not be present in the switch chassis to configure video routing. If no module is present, the video streams are dropped as long as video routing is configured correctly.
Caution If video routing is not configured at all, or is not configured to cover the correct range of UDP ports, high CPU utilization (up to 99% capacity) can lead to instability. To monitor the CPU load, use the show process command.
•A default UDP port range is provided. However, a UDP port range can be specified if so desired.
•The VoD server (or other video source) should be configured to deliver a video stream to the destination IP address configured explicitly on a VLAN.
•TFTP uses a randomly assigned UDP port on the client to receive data. An explicit video route can still interfere with TFTP operation if the interface for receiving TFTP is the same as that specified for the video route. We recommend that separate interfaces be used for TFTP and video.
Caution Do not confuse this command with the video route command (see video route), which is a QAM interface command.
•There are constraints when using the video slot route vlan command if emulation mode is enabled. See Setting Emulation Modes for UDP Port Mapping (Optional), and video <slot> emulation-mode.
–Before changing the video route, first disable emulation mode, as in the following example:
no video 4 emulation-mode
–If an attempt is made to change the video routing UDP range (see video <slot> route vlan) so that it excludes the UDP range used for video emulation mode, the command is rejected with the following message:
Video route: Video emulation is on, cannot change video route UDP range in slot <slot> to exclude the UDP port range x to y.
The range specified by this command is loosely coupled with the user-defined session mapping set by the video sessions command (see video sessions). When the user enters a configuration for user-defined sessions, the selectable range is bound by the range defined by the video slot route vlan command. If, at a later time, the range defined by the command is changed, the user is warned if an already-defined session that is currently active would be made inactive because of this change.
For example, if there is an active session on UDP port 49152 and the user enters
video 3 route vlan 20 udp 50000 65535
the following message appears:
Video route: There exists active session(s) in slot 3 outside of udp ports 50000 to 65535, which will become inactive.
However, the command itself does not trigger the removal of the already-defined session.
Examples
The following example shows how to assign video traffic on a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3 to VLAN 20, with explicit packet routing.
Switch(config)# video 3 route vlan 20 udp 49152 65535
Note In this case, UDP packets sent to the IP address on VLAN 20, with destination ports from 49152 to 65535, are routed explicitly to the Cisco uMG9850 in slot 3. If no UDP port ranges had been given in the command, then the default range from Table 2 would be used.
The following example shows how to restore the video routing to the default behavior on a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 4.
Switch(config)# no video 4 route

The syntax of this command is similar to that for the video timeout command (see video timeout), except that this command addresses a single Cisco uMG9850 module. You must configure each parameter on a separate command line.
When a session is closed, this means that the Cisco uMG9850 has not received any video packets for the given session's UDP port for the period determined by the video slot timeout session-close command or the video timeout session-close command. The session no longer exists, and is not listed following a show command. The range is 1 to 1440 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
When a session is inactive, this means that the Cisco uMG9850 has not received any video packets for the given session's UDP port for the period determined by the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command. The session still exists and is listed following a show command. If packets start arriving before the timer set by the video slot timeout session-close command or the video timeout session-close command counts down, the session becomes active. The range is 200 to 10000 milliseconds. The default is 5000 milliseconds.
The value for the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command should always be larger than the value configured for jitter.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the session-close option to 25 and the signal-loss option to 500 on a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 6:
Switch(config)# video 3 timeout session-close 25
Switch(config)# video 3 timeout signal-loss 500

video frequency
To configure the frequency for the upconverter connected to a QAM channel, use the video frequency command in subinterface configuration mode.
video frequency frequency
Syntax Description
frequency
Sets the frequency on both channels on a QAM port.
frequency
Channel frequency, in megahertz (MHz). The frequency range for QAM slot/port.1 is 50 to 854 MHz, and for QAM slot/port.2 is 56 to 860 MHz. For valid slot ranges, see Table 7.
Defaults
The default center frequency, in MHz, for each port is determined by the following formula:
100 + (port_ID * 12)
where port_ID is an integer from 0 to 11
Command Modes
Subinterface configuration (QAM interface only). See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Configuring the frequency for one QAM channel automatically configures the correct frequency for the other QAM channel in its upconverter group. The frequency bandwidth of each QAM upconverter block is 12 MHz. Consequently, if slot/port.1 is set to frequency f1, then slot/port.2 is set to frequency f1 + 6 MHz. Similarly, if slot/port.2 is set to frequency f2, then slot/port.1 is set to frequency f2 - 6 MHz.
Tip Frequency conflicts can result in undesirable results, depending on how QAM channels are cabled. To configure the software either to allow frequency conflicts or to check for them and block conflicting assignments, use the video slot frequency allow-any command (see video <slot> frequency allow-any).
Examples
The following example shows how to set the first QAM channel on port 1 of a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 4 to an upconverter frequency of 850 MHz. This automatically configures the frequency for the second QAM channel on port 1 to 856 MHz.
Switch# configure terminal

video interleave
You can change the Reed-Solomon forward error correction (FEC) interleave level and mode on a QAM channel.
To configure the FEC interleave parameters for a QAM channel, use the video interleave command in subinterface configuration mode. To reset the interleave values to their defaults, use the no form of this command.
video interleave {level level | mode mode}
no video interleave
Syntax Description
interleave
Enables configuration of FEC interleave level and mode.
level
Configures the FEC interleave level for the QAM channel.
level
Values for level are as follows:
•1 = FEC interleave level 1
•2 = FEC interleave level 2 (default)
mode
Configures the FEC interleave mode for the QAM channel.
The mode option can be used only when the interleave level is 2 (default).
mode
Range for mode is any value from 1 to 14, with the exception of 11 and 13. The default is 6. Each mode configures the channel for the "I" and "J" interleave values as shown in Table 13.
Defaults
The default interleave level is 2. The default mode is 6.
Note The defaults may not work with some MPEG analyzers.
Command Modes
Subinterface configuration (QAM interface only). See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
FEC reduces bit error rate (BER) in data transmission by correcting recovered bit errors in the demodulator. Interleaving is a technique that reorders (in time) individual code-word bits with other code-word bits to spread error bursts over many different code words. The technique used is compliant with ITU J.83, Annex B.
The video interleave command configures the operation of the FEC interleave on the QAM channels. If the interleave level and mode values are set on one QAM channel, the same values are applied to all four QAM channels in a modulator group. See Video Configuration Modes.
When operating with level 2 interleave, you can choose the specific interleave parameters by selecting one of the modes shown in Table 13:

Defaults
The default power is 50 dBmV.
Command Modes
Subinterface configuration (QAM interface only). See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Configuring the output power for one QAM channel automatically configures the same power level for the other QAM channel in its upconverter group.
When both QAM channels in an RF port are enabled, the allowed power range is 42 to 55 dBmV (102 to 115 dBmicroV). If only one QAM channel is enabled, the allowed range is 45 to 58 dBmV (105 to 118 dBmicroV).
Tip Power values must be entered in dBmV. To convert dBmV to dBmicroV, add 60 to the power in dBmV.
If both QAM channels are up, RF port power is configured to dBmV + 3 dBmV. If only one channel is up, RF port power is configured to dBmV. If no channel is up, RF port power is not configured.
Caution Output powers in software are approximate. Where precise values are required, check the output with an appropriate power meter according to local practice.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure a QAM channel in port 1 of a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 5 for an output power level of 45 dBmV. This configures the output power level for both QAM channels using this upconverter (5/1.1 and 5/1.2).

Usage Guidelines
This is a program-specific information (PSI) command.
•When the video psi ignore crc-checksum command is not used, or the no form is issued, the CRC checksum in the PSI data is automatically checked. If the checksum fails, the entire PSI is declared invalid for the session.
•When the video psi ignore pat-version command is used, other PSI information is still parsed. When the command is not used, or the no form is issued, PAT version changes automatically trigger a complete PSI parsing process. Use this command only when there is an issue of compatibility between a VoD server and a set-top box.
•When the video psi private command is used, the parsing process is prolonged and session setup is delayed. Use this command only if PSI parsing latency is not an issue.
Examples
Note The following commands apply to all Cisco uMG9850 modules in the switch.
The following example shows how to cause the CRC checksum to be ignored:

You can override the default session routing on a video line card, and instead map the UDP port of a particular program to a specific QAM channel. Instead of using the command video udp, to configure individual port maps, you can use the video sessions command to generate 25 portmap entries for the selected QAM channel.
Caution You cannot use both commands on the same QAM channel. See Usage Guidelines, below.
To configure the UDP port mapping for the video sessions on a QAM port, use the video sessions command in subinterface configuration mode. To replace nondefault UDP port mapping with default mapping, use the no form of this command.
video sessions number-of-sessions udp first-UDP-port-number program first-program-number
[even_only]no video sessions
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behaviors or values
Command Modes
Subinterface configuration (QAM interface only). See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Using the no video sessions command when programs are running on the QAM channel results in the command being rejected. Also, it does not remove the nondefault map, but simply replaces it with the default map.
Note The user-defined session mapping is loosely coupled with the range specified by the command video slot route vlan (see video <slot> route vlan). When the user enters a configuration for user-defined sessions, the selectable range is bound by the range defined by video slot route vlan. If, at a later time, the range defined by that command is changed, the user is warned if an already-defined session that is currently active would be made inactive because of this change. However, the command video slot route vlan itself does not trigger the removal of the already-defined session.
Tip Occasionally, if user-defined port mapping is removed, as in the following example:
Switch(config-subif)# no video udp 49152 program 1
the default port mapping does not appear following the execution of the show interface qam interface.qam video portmap command (see show interface qam <interface.qam> video portmap). To generate the default port mapping, execute the no video sessions command. See Related Commands, below.Examples
The following example shows how to map program 28 on UDP port 49874 to QAM channel 5/2.1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# video sessions 8 udp 49874 program 28
The following example shows how to do the same as the above, except that it shows how to select even UDP port numbers only:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# video sessions 8 udp 49874 program 28 even_only
The following example shows how to replace nondefault UDP port mapping with default mapping:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# no video sessions

video timeout
You can configure when a video session times out when packets are not received after a certain interval. The video timeout command applies to all the Cisco uMG9850 modules in a switch. To address a single module, use the video slot timeout command (see video <slot> timeout).
To configure timeout parameters on all Cisco uMG9850 modules in a switch, use the video timeout command in global configuration mode. To revert to default values, use the no forms of this command.
video timeout {session-close minutes | signal-loss milliseconds}
no video timeout session-close
no video timeout signal-loss
Syntax Description
Defaults
See Usage Guidelines, below.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
The syntax of this command is similar to that for the video slot timeout command (see video <slot> timeout), except that the video timeout command addresses all the Cisco uMG9850 modules in a switch. You must configure each parameter on a separate command line.
When a session is closed, this means that the Cisco uMG9850 has not received any video packets for the given session's UDP port for the period determined by the video slot timeout session-close command or the video timeout session-close command. The session no longer exists, and is not listed following a show command. The range is 1 to 1440 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
When a session is inactive, this means that the Cisco uMG9850 has not received any video packets for the given session's UDP port for the period determined by the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command. The session still exists, and is listed following a show command. If packets start arriving before the timer set by the video slot timeout session-close command or the video timeout session-close command counts down, the session becomes active. The range is 200 to 10000 milliseconds. The default is 5000 milliseconds.
The value for the video slot timeout signal-loss command or the video timeout signal-loss command should always be larger than the value configured for jitter.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the session-close option to 25 and the signal-loss option to 500 on all the Cisco uMG9850 modules in a switch:
Switch(config)# video timeout session-close 25
Switch(config)# video timeout signal-loss 500

video tsid
At each hub, each QAM channel must have a unique transport stream ID (TSID). The software checks for and guarantees the uniqueness of a TSID within a chassis only.
To specify the transport stream ID (TSID) to be used to identify transport stream packets that are sent on a QAM channel, use the video tsid command in subinterface configuration mode:
video tsid tsid
Syntax Description
tsid
Configures the transport stream ID.
tsid
Unique identifier for the transport stream on the output port. Range is 1 to 65535, with no default.
Defaults
By default, nonconflicting TSIDs are assigned to all Cisco uMG9850 modules in a switch. See Usage Guidelines, below.
Command Modes
Subinterface configuration (QAM interface only). See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Caution Although by default nonconflicting TSIDs are assigned to all Cisco uMG9850 modules in a switch, the user can assign conflicting TSIDs within an individual module, resulting in conflicts with other TSIDs in the switch. It is the responsibility of the multiple system operator (MSO) to avoid TSID conflicts. To see all the TSIDs within a switch, use the show video slot command (see show video <slot>), and address each Cisco uMG9850 in the switch.
See also Setting TSID and NIT-PID Values.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify a transport stream ID of 1001 for QAM channel 2 in port 2 of a Cisco uMG9850 in slot 5:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.2
Switch(config-subif)# video tsid 1001
Related Commands
Command DescriptionSee video nitpid.
Various
See commands indicated as "PSI commands" in Notes column of Table 11.
video udp
Each QAM channel has a default UDP port mapping. For example, a video stream with a destination UDP of 0xd821 is sent to slot 3, QAM port 1 as output program 1. However, for a given UDP session, you can remap (1) input packet IDs (PIDs) and (2) output program numbers to output PIDs on a QAM channel.
To do either of the above, use the video udp command in subinterface (QAM channel) configuration mode. To remove the user-defined portmapping for a specific port number and program, use the no form of this command.
video udp UDP-port-number {[in in-pid out out-pid] | program prog-number}
no video udp UDP-port-number program prog-number
Syntax Description
udp
Configures UDP parameters
UDP-port-number
UDP port number for the desired incoming session. Range is 49152 to 65535, with no default. See UDP Port Mappings: Default, Manual, and Emulation Mode.
in
Configures the input PID to be filtered out from this session.
in-pid
Range is 16 to 8191, with no default.
out
Statically maps the input PID to the specified output PID, overriding the default output PID that is generated by the video subsystem.
out-pid
Range is 16 to 8191, with no default.
program
Creates a static route that maps an output program number on a UDP port to a QAM channel.
prog-number
Program to be routed. Range is 1 to 255, with no default.
Defaults
No default behaviors or values
Command Modes
Subinterface (QAM channel) configuration. See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
An in-pid can be filtered whether or not an out-pid is specified.
Timesaver To generate a range of 25 UDP portmaps automatically, use the video sessions command (see video sessions).
Examples
The following example shows how to map input PID 16 on UDP session 49152 on interface 5/2.1 to output PID 17:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# video udp 49152 in 16 out 17
The following example shows how to route the input stream delivered to UDP port 49152 to QAM channel 5/2.1 as program 1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# video udp 49152 program 1
The following example shows how to remove the user-defined portmapping UDP port 49152 to QAM channel 5/2.1 as program 1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# no video udp 49152 program 1
See also Statically Routing a Single Program Session to a QAM Channel, and Remapping Input PIDs to Output PIDs.
Tip Occasionally, if user-defined port mapping is removed, the default port mapping does not appear following the execution of the show interface qam interface.qam video portmap command (see show interface qam <interface.qam> video portmap.) To generate the default port mapping, execute the no video sessions command. See Related Commands, below.

Use this command to generate 25 UDP portmap entries automatically. See video sessions.
video utilization-threshold
It is possible that a given QAM channel can be either overwhelmed or underutilized. To monitor and correct for this, you can set either or both minimum and maximum bandwidth-utilization thresholds for video streams over a QAM channel.
To specify the high and low utilization thresholds for video streams, use the video utilization-threshold command in subinterface (QAM channel) configuration mode. To reset the values to their defaults, use the no form of this command.
video utilization-threshold {[low low-utilization threshold]| [high high-utilization-threshold]}
no video utilization-threshold
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default low utilization threshold is 0 percent. The default high utilization threshold is 75 percent.
Command Modes
Subinterface configuration (QAM interface only). See Subinterface Configuration Mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
If the percentage of QAM bandwidth being used is below the value for the low option, then the QAM channel is being underutilized. If the percentage of QAM bandwidth being used is above the value for the high option, then the QAM channel is being overutilized.
The high utilization threshold must be greater than the low utilization threshold. You can set either or both thresholds.
Examples
The following example shows how to set a low utilization threshold of 10 percent on interface 5/2.1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# video utilization-threshold low 10
The following example shows how to set a high utilization threshold of 80 percent on interface 5/2.1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface qam 5/2.1
Switch(config-subif)# video utilization-threshold high 80
