CISCO D9800

About

The Cisco D9800 Network Transport Receiver supports high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) and ultra-high-definition (UHD) delivery over satellite and IP terrestrial content distribution networks requiring DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite), DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite - Second Generation), and IP reception capabilities. This device can decode an MPEG-2, advanced video coding (AVC), or HEVC video-encoded service, and it can output the serial digital interface (SDI) or composite uncompressed video.

The Cisco D9800 connector polls values in order to display information about the device and allows you to configure certain parameters.

The connector retrieves and sets information on the device through HTTP and SNMP.

Key Features

Network and interface monitoring: Monitors the IP input/output status, packet loss, jitter, and interface health.
Full control of receiver functions: Provides tuning control for satellite, ASI, and IP inputs as well as control of output formats (ASI, IP, SDI, etc).
RF and transport stream analytics: Includes RF and TS metrics, as well as PID-level visibility for advanced troubleshooting.
Hardware health and diagnostics: Displays temperature, voltage, fan status, and chassis health.

Use Case

Challenge: Broadcasters operate large fleets of Cisco D9800 IRDs across multiple uplink and downlink sites, making it difficult to track signal integrity, CA status, and service availability in real time.

Solution: Deploy the Cisco D9800 DataMiner connector to centralize monitoring and control, enabling operators to view RF/TS metrics, manage service selection, and receive alarms directly within the DataMiner platform.

Benefit: Enhances operational efficiency by consolidating IRD management, reduces downtime through proactive fault detection, and ensures consistent service delivery across distributed receiver networks.
