Standalone Redundancy
In order to ensure the continuous transmission of video/data streams, the CP9000
allows to configure a pool of 1+1 device redundancy that protects from severe
failures and provides a high level of assurance.
Figure 1-3. Standalone Redundancy architecture
The Primary and Backup devices are connected to the Control & Command Network
and communicate through a Multicast IP address and Port.
You can use many redundancy pairs by using a different group number for each pair.
You can change the device mode but not the device state. At least one alarm must be
set to use auto redundancy mode.
The primary CP9000 is Active and the Backup is inactive (Standby).
When an alarm is triggered, the backup CP9000 takes over from the primary CP9000.
You cannot change the redundancy mode for an inactive primary or for an active
backup. In the cases of an inactive primary and an active backup, you first need to
change the device roles so that the primary is the active and the backup is the inactive
and change mode to None.
For configuration details, refer to section ’Standalone Redundancy’ on page 74.

Chapter 2 ’Installation and Startup’— Rem oving the Protective Film
Removing the Protective Film

Remove the protective film from both sides (top and bottom) before installation in the
rack. Once installed in the rack, remove the protective film from LCD screen.
Installing the Equipment (Steps)

The following steps are required for equipment installation and initial configuration:
1. Mount the equipment in a rack.
2. Power up the equipment.
3. Enter the initial parameters via the Local Console application or via the Front
Panel (IP parameters, Date/Time, etc.).
4. Connect the equipment to the other devices.
5. Launch a Web Browser.

Chapter 2 ’Installation and Startup’ — Mounting in Rack
Mounting in Rack
Rack mounting is not mandatory for ViBE CP9000 but the ventilation and safety
requirements given in this section must be observed in all cases.
The chassis m ustnotbe fixed w ith its rack m ounting ears only.Ifyou
intend to install it in a rack, L-profiles are required and you m ust
observe the ventilation and safety instructions described in the
follow ing sections.
ViBE CP9000 Installation Requirements

This section lists the principles to be observed and the steps to be taken when installing
ViBE CP9000 in a 19" rack.
Restrictions must be observed:

 related to ventilation (see section ’Ventilation’on page 26)
 related to cabling (see section ’Cabling’on page 29)
 related to EMC ground (see section ’EM C G round’on page 29)
 related to Power supply and protective ground (see section ’Pow erSupply and
Protective G round’on page 30).
Ventilation
Please note that product failure rates are increased by high temperatures. The
following precautions should therefore be observed:
 Prevent hot air from one equipment being introduced into other equipments.
 Ensure adequate distribution of air flows to the equipment intakes.
 Avoid the effects of natural convection between equipments.
 Avoid hot/cold air short-circuits.
 Avoid transverse effects in coupled racks.
 Prevent hot air from accumulating in the rack.
 Check the air flows: the rack should ensure a sufficient supply of cold air and
sufficient evacuation of hot air (according to the number of equipments mounted
in the rack and their corresponding air flows).
The following important requirements should be noted in addition to the general

recommendations:

Chapter 2 ’Installation and Startup’— M ounting in Rack
 The equipment must be installed in a room according to ETSI 300019-1-3 class

3.1. The climatic parameters, biological conditions, chemically substances,
mechanically substances and mechanical conditions must be respected.
Example: A maximum density of dust in the air must not exceed 200µg/m3. To
prevent the power supply from overheating, remember to regularly clean the rack
filter (if there is one) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and clean
ViBE CP9000’s air inlet grill (at least once a year).
 There must be enough room for a column of cold air to circulate on the front of the
chassis and a column of hot air to circulate on the rear of the chassis.
 The chassis is provided with guide rails on each side already fixed to allow to make
it slide. It is possible to use a set of square of fixation (L-profiles). In this case,
remove guide rails from the chassis.
Figure 2-2. Chassis with guide rail
 Given its 1RU height, ViBE CP9000 has to be placed in the rack with at least space
of 1RU between every 4 chassis.
Figure 2-3. ViBE CP9000 on a pressurized floor in a standard rack (front view)

Figure 2-4. ViBE CP9000 on a pressurized floor in a standard rack (left view)
Failure to observe these installation requirem ents w illdirectly result

in a deterioration in perform ance, reliability and service life of
equipm ent.

Chapter 2 ’Installation and Startup’— M ounting in Rack
Cabling
It is essential to separate the power supply cables from the signal cables. When facing
the rear of the rack (as the equipment is connected via the rear panel), the power
supply cables must be guided to the left of the chassis and the signal cables to the right.
EMC Ground
The EMC connection is required to ensure ground equipotentiality between the
different devices in the technical center (only one connection is required per device).
Each ViBE CP9000 side panel features a tapped hole to connect a bonding strip. The
bonding strip can be fixed either on one side of the chassis (right or left side) or on the
rear of the chassis (left side).
 Fixing the bonding strip on the side of the chassis.
The bonding strip is fixed using an M4 screw whose length depends on the bonding
strip type (no more than 15 mm of the screw must be inserted into the ViBE
CP9000).
 Fixing the bonding strip on the back of the chassis.
The bonding strip is fixed using an insulated or uninsulated 6.35mm female lug
plugged into the grounding terminal.
Note: The grounding terminal can be replaced with a ring lug crimped onto the
bonding strip.
The rack EMC bus (to which the ViBE CP9000 EMC strip is connected) must be
connected to the rack ground pin. This pin is also connected to the safety ground.
Figure 2-5. EMC connections, rear panel

Chapter 4 ’Web Browser Interface’ — Setting the ViBE CP9000 Equipment
Setting the ViBE CP9000 Equipment

The following section will explain how to set all the parameters of the equipment and
display its status.
Device Configuration
The two first steps necessary to configure the ViBE CP9000 are to select the
parameters of Encoding mode“” and the “SPTS/MPTS mode” as explained below:
Figure 4-17. Device Config.
 In the Shelf tab define the:

 TS mode
- SPTS (1xTS per channel) - 1 TS over IP generated at the output of
each basic encoder
- MPTS (1xTS per shelf) - 1TS over IP generated at the output of the
CP9000
 Scrambling mode: OFF or BISS 1 or BISS2 or BISS CA
Figure 4-18. Device configuration - Shelf
 In the Board Mode tab define the Input and Encoding parameters:
 Latency mode:
- Normal
- Ultra-Low (only available in HEVC)
Restrictions when Ultra-Low Latency mode is selected:

- up to two HD or one UHD per video board
- rescale is not allowed

- only one GOP mode: IPPP Intra refresh

- HDR not available
- audio only in Transparent mode
- create a SCTE-35 component is not allowed
- scrambling is not allowed
- edition of Expert video parameters is not allowed
- VBI settings are not allowed
- No source mode is not available: No encoding
 Board mode:
- 4xHD
- 1xUHD
- 1xHD from UHD (for downscale process)
- 4xHD/SD
 Input mode:
- SDI
- SDI 12G (only with 1xUHD or 1xHD from UHD board mode)
- SDIoIP 2022-6 (only with 4xHD board mode)
- ProMedia IP 2110 (only with 4xHD board mode)
 Standard:
- HEVC
- AVC
 Robust mode (video pattern generator):
- Blue screen
- Black screen
- Last Picture

Figure 4-19. Device configuration - Board Mode
 Public Key tab allows the operator to load in advance public files (csv format)
when using BISS CA mode.
Figure 4-20. Device configuration - Public Key
 DNS tab allows the operator to use URL to define the streaming destination,
CP9000 converts this URL into a valid IP address and UDP port. This is done by
sending out a request to the DNS server for IP address resolution and parsing the
URL to get the UDP port.
 Up to 3 DNS Servers can be set. If the first DNS server does not respond,
the CP9000 sends a request to the second, etc...
By default, the CP9000 is set to Google’s DNS severs.

Figure 4-21. Device configuration - DNS servers
 Misc tab allows to provide information on SDT table regarding the language used:
 Language: Character table used to encode the service name and provider in
the SDT. Choice between Auto (8859-2 or 8859-9) and UTF-16BE.
 Code: it is inserted before the service name and provider in the SDT if the
language is set to UTF-16BE. The code is set-top box dependent.
Figure 4-22. Device configuration - Misc page
A ny change on Language S ettings needs a rebootofthe

equipm entto apply it.
Automatic configuration
The CP9000 allows to automatically load a predefined encoder configuration
according to the detected SDI input signal.
N otavailable w hen:
 the board is in U H D m ode
 SPTS/M PTS is setto 1 M P TS /
S helf

Figure 4-23. Configuration - Auto-config
The encoder configuration is based on the standard and the frame rate (1080i-25 /
1080i-29.97 / 720p-50 / 720p-59.94 / 1080p-50 / 1080p-59.94) of the incoming SDI
signal. The presets have to be created before to set Automatic configuration. Refer to
section ’Predefined Configurations’on page 149, to create the presets.
Itis im portantto create presets for each Encoder/Channelw ith

differentIP M ulticastaddress atoutput,to avoid any IP conflict.
Figure 4-24. Auto Configuration - parameters
 Select predefined configuration with the drop-down menu. At least one

preset has to be selected.
 Select ON to enable the Automatic configuration.
 Do the same thing for others encoders/channels if required.
Figure 4-25. Auto Configuration - On
 Submit to apply your settings

Figure 4-26. Encoder - Auto configuration On

Once the encoder is set to Automatic configuration, it is not possible anymore to

delete or to change parameters of the associated components.
Figure 4-27. Component - Auto configuration On
When the CP9000 detects the incoming SDI signal, it immediately applies the
corresponding preset if exits.
 W hen no presethas been created for a given encoder and SD I

signal,the configuration in place does notchange and a “video
standard m ism atch” alarm is raised.
 In the drop-dow n m enu,only the presets corresponding to the
standard (AVC or H EVC)ofthe board are displayed.
The presets w ith SCTE35 com ponents w illnotbe available in the

presets listto avoid coherency rules problem s.

Standalone Redundancy
The CP9000 allows to perform a 1+1 Automatic Redundancy in a standalone mode
(i.e. without management system).
Figure 4-28. Configuration - Redundancy
The user has to configure the parameters of the Redundancy mode, the Redundancy
network and the Redundancy triggers.
Figure 4-29. Configuration - Redundancy parameters
 Redundancy mode:
 Mode:
- NONE: the redundancy is disabled.
- Manual: It corresponds to an edition mode while there is no
communication between both CP9000 and where the user can set the
triggers.
- Automatic: if an alarm, that is selected as a trigger, is raised, then the
backup CP9000 takes over from the primary CP9000.
 Device Role: The parameters are Primary and Backup. This device can be
either the primary or the backup. The backup device needs to have the most
updated configuration from the primary CP9000. The default is Primary.

 Communication parameters:
 Multicast Address: Used to communicate between both CP9000. The
same multicast address must be configured for both CP9000. The range is
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
 Multicast Port: the range is 1024 to 65535.
 Group ID: Use the same group number for each redundancy pair. The
range is 1 to 65535.
The M ulticastaddress and portm ustbe differentthan those used for

the stream ing.
 Triggering parameters:
 System
 Video
 Audio
 VBI
 IP output and C&C + ASI output
Once the configuration is done, the Primary CP9000 is Active and the Backup
CP9000 is Standby.
Figure 4-30. Redundancy - CP9000 States
When an automatic switch occurs, the primary becomes the Standby and the backup
becomes the Active.
It is possible to switch back to the primary (after resolving the problem, no more alarm
on the primary) by clicking on the “Switch Back” button from the backup.
Figure 4-31. Redundancy - Switch Back

Configuring SFP modules

The SFP modules are used to receive SDIoIP SMPTE 2022-6 or ProMedia IP 2110
inputs.
Figure 4-32. Configuration - Module SFP1
The user has to configure the IP parameters of the SFP module:

Figure 4-33. Configuration - IP parameters
 Internal Configuration:
 Speed: this parameter defaults to 10 Gbp.
 Address:
 IP address: of the SFP module
 Netmask: of the SFP module.
 The N etm ask address does notappear w hen S D IoIP 2022-6

Inputm ode is selected.
 Ifthe chassis contains a second video board w ith SFP m odules,
then SFP3 and SFP4 w illbe added on the Configuration m enu.

Configuring PTP for ProMedia IP 2110

To use ProMedia IP 2110 standard, the incoming sources have to be accuracy
synchronized, to do so, the CP9000 uses the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) that is a
time synchronization Ethernet protocol.
Figure 4-34. Configuration - PTP board 1
The different IP sources, Video, Audios and Ancillary data, are thus synchronized.
Figure 4-35. Configuration - PTP parameters
 Common Configuration:
 Genlock: Only PTP is available.
 BMCA: Best Master Clock Algorithm is always running, Auto mode.
 priority 1: 128 default, not configurable.
 priority 2: 128 default, not configurable.
 profile: to set the appropriate value for PTP protocol.
- AES67/SMPTE 2059-2: announcement message = 0 (1 per second)
- SMPTE 2059-2: announcement message = -2 (1 per 0.25 second)
 Domain Number: 0 to 127, 0 default. AES67/SMPTE 2059-2.
If SMPTE 2059-2 profile is selected, recommended value is 127.
 DSCP: Differentiated Service Code Point - 0 to 63 - 46 recommended.
 Delay Mechanism: Combo list P2P or E2E or AUTO recommended.
 Mode: Combo List Multicast or Hybrid

to the values P picture period (M) and GOP size (N) above.
- Adaptive GOP (Full): In this mode, the effective I picture period
(N) varies according to video content (i.e. spatio-temporal complexity
and events such as scene changes or fades). The GOP (N) is a multiple
of P period (M) which remains unchanged.
 Closed GOP: Used to enable On or disable Off Closed GOP mode. It is
used to break temporal dependency between GOPs.
 Closed G O P m ode reduces encoding quality and should only be

used w hen stream editing operations are expected.
 W hen Closed G O P is used, the last P period is reduced by one
picture so as to preserve the size ofthe G O P (N ).
 Temporal Scalability: Used to enable On or disable Off the temporal

scalability.
When Temporal scalability is On, the number of sub-layers depend on P
Picture Period (M):

Dolby® E 5.1 to PCM 2.0 detection

- When Auto Switch Mode is “ON”: If Dolby® E 5.1 disappears the
audio encoder switches to the source defined by the PCM Reversion
Source parameter below with a default bitrate. The encoder signals a
stereo stream (rather than a surround stream).
The default bitrate cannot be set by the User and is indicated in the
table below:

In down-mixed or (Dolby 5.1® and MPEG-1 Layer II) mode the

MPEG-1 Layer II encoder encodes the PCM 2.0 source instead of the
Dolby® E 5.1 source. The bitrate is unchanged.
- When Auto Switch Mode is “OFF”: If Dolby® E 5.1 disappears, the
last valid Dolby® E frame will be repeated 3 times and if it is still not
resynchronized, the encoder will be muted (encoding of silence at the
same bitrate).
MPEG-1 Layer II encoder will be muted. The bitrate is unchanged.

Dolby® E 5.1 to Dolby® E 2.0 detection

- When Auto Switch Mode is “ON”: If the Dolby® E stream contains
2.0 instead of 5.1, the encoder switches to the default bitrate.
The default bitrates cannot be set by the User and are indicated in the
table below:

Overview of Predefined Configurations

Predefined configurations are configurations that are stored in the equipment or can
also be saved to disk in the form of files.
A predefined configuration contains the configuration parameters concerning:

 Services
 Components
 TS Out
 IP Out
The User can:

 Save the active configuration to the equipment.
 Recall predefined configurations stored in the equipment.
 Delete predefined configurations stored in the equipment.
 Save predefined configuration files to a disk.
 Load predefined configuration files stored on a disk.
32 configurations can be saved by the User in the equipment.
Recalling a configuration allows to switch automatically to the right Encoding

Standard and Board Mode.

Displaying Predefined Configurations

Configurations stored in the equipment are displayed on the Presets page as follows:
Figure 4-121. Displaying predefined configurations
Configurations Predefined in-Factory

Sixteen configurations are stored on equipment shipment (see all configurations from
factory on Figure 4-120 ’Presets - Stored predefined configurations’on
page 149)
The different configurations proposed are a mix of the following parameters:

 Video Format and Codec: SD/AVC - HD/HEVC/AVC - UHD/HEVC
 Frame Rate: 50Hz or 59.94Hz
 Compression Delay: Standard or Short
They cannot be edited or deleted. They enable the Operator to quickly configure the
encoder with standard settings.
 The configurations predefined in-factory configure only the

com ponents ofthe encoder.The Inputs /O utputs (IP,TS,etc.)
m ustbe configured separately.
 Ifyou have 2 Video Boards,the sam e configuration w illbe
applied.

Managing Community Strings and SNMP Agent

Information
Foreword
Community strings are identifiers that validate SNMP messages.
Community string principles are used in order to have a simplified access rights
mechanism for SNMP requests.
Each community string is associated with an access level. All traps transporting MIB
variables to the NMS are sent with a community string set to public.
The access level is used to refuse write access to an MIB variable for a specific
community string, even if the MIB authorizes this write access.
The Local Console is used to manage community strings. A maximum of 30

community strings can be created. The device is shipped with 2 predefined community
strings (a THVNPublic one with read only rights and a THVNPrivate one with
read/write rights).
The list of community strings is edited in a temporary memory using the Cadd or Cdel
commands. The contents of this temporary memory are sent to the community string
memory (used by the SNMP agent) using the csave command. You can view the
content of the community string memory at any time using the cread command. The
cread command displays the contents of the community string memory and resets the
temporary memory.
The Local Console is also used to define sysContact, sysName and sysLocation
information for the SNMP agent Mib-2.system branch.
Reading SNMP Agent Information (rinfo)

To read SNMP agent Mib-2.system branch sysContact, sysName and sysLocation
information, type rinfo after the ViBE prompt:
Figure 5-38. Reading SNMP information - rinfo command

 Location: sysLocation information
 Contact: sysContact information
 Name: sysName information

Writing SNMP Agent Information (winfo)

To write SNMP agent Mib-2.system branch sysContact, sysName and sysLocation
information, type winfo after the ViBE prompt:
Figure 5-39. Writing SNMP agent sysContact, sysName and sysLocation information - winfo command
The current information will be displayed.

 Location: sysLocation information
 Contact: sysContact information
 Name: sysName information
Displaying the List of community strings (cread)

To display the list of community strings, type cread after the ViBE prompt:
Figure 5-40. Displaying the list of SNMP communities - cread command

 Rights: community rights (ro read only authorized and rw read/write authorized)
 Community: community name
If the list has been edited beforehand using the cdel or cadd commands but has not been
saved using the csave command, the following question will be displayed: do you
want to discard changes [Y]/[N] <N>. Type Y to reset the temporary list (viewed
using clist) with the contents of the community string memory (the previous changes
will be deleted) or type N to cancel the operation without applying the changes.

Displaying the List of Temporary community strings (clist)

To display the list of temporary community strings, type clist after the ViBE prompt:
Figure 5-41. Displaying temporary community strings - clist command

 Rights: community rights (ro read only authorized and rw read/write authorized)
If the list has been edited beforehand using the cdel or cadd commands but has not been
saved using the csave command, the following message will be displayed: <don’t
forget to save changes>.
Adding a community string (cadd)

To add a community string, type cadd after the ViBE prompt:
Figure 5-42. Adding a community string - cadd command

 Right <ro/rw>: community right (ro read only authorized and rw read/write
authorized)

 Done: the community has been created in the temporary memory. Creation should
be confirmed using the csave command.
Deleting a community string (cdel)

To delete a community string, type cdel after the ViBE prompt:

Figure 5-43. Deleting an SNMP community - cdel command

 Community: name of community to be deleted

 Done: the community has been deleted from the temporary memory. Deletion
should be confirmed using the csave command.
Saving the List of community strings (csave)

To save the list of community strings (transfer the temporary memory to the
community memory), type csave after the ViBE prompt:
Figure 5-44. Saving the list of SNMP communities - csave command

 Save communities to file ... Done.: the save operation has been performed
successfully. If the contents of the community memory have not be edited by the
transfer, the following message will be displayed: Communities already saved.
The equipm entm ustbe rebooted for the changes to be applied.

Chapter 5 ’Servicing’ — Management with NMX
Management with NMX

The Harmonic Management System (NMX) allows to monitor the CP9000 and
therefore to display its alarms.
 Installation of the CP9000 using NMX Designer
Figure 5-45. NMX Designer
 Supervision of the CP9000 using NMX Operator

Figure 5-46. NMX Operator
For details how to install and supervise the CP9000, refer to the NMX User Guide.

Chapter 5 ’Servicing’ — Preventive and Corrective Maintenance Operations
Preventive and Corrective Maintenance Operations
Cleaning Chassis Ventilation Grids

If dust is left to build up on the equipment ventilation grids, the internal temperature
of the chassis will rise and this will affect device performance, service life and
reliability.
You are therefore advised to regularly clean the ventilation grids (approximately every
year).
Replacing Chassis Fans

The fans fitted in the chassis have a service life of 490000 hours at 40°C. T
The fans need to be replaced if one of them is faulty. To perform these operations,
please contact Harmonic Customer Service.
Fault diagnosis
The chassis features a monitoring device that feeds an alarm back to the Management
or Monitoring System when the temperature inside the device is too high or when a
fan unit is out of order “Ventilation failure”.

When an “High Temperature” alarm is raised, then either the ambient temperature is
too high (> 40° C), either it is a fault of fan.

HEVC Bitrate Extension
Level and Tier - Automatic Mode

In order to extend the range of possible bitrates, it is proposed to assist the final user
by hiding the detail of the level and tier which shall not be indicated in the GUI as they
depend on the specified bitrate.
The table below shows the maximum ES Rate and applicable for all delays:
A vailable Profiles H D /FH D U HD
H EVC M ain 4:2:0 20 M bps:Level= 4.1 M ain Tier 40 M bps:Level= 5.1 M ain Tier
H EVC M ain10 4:2:0 50 M bps:Level= 4.1 H igh Tier 160 M bps:Level= 5.1 H igh Tier
H EVC M ain10 4:2:2 100 M bps:Level= 5.0 H igh Tier 240 M bps:Level= 5.2 H igh Tier
160 M bps:Level= 5.1 H igh Tier 370 M bps:Level= 6.1 H igh Tier
240 M bps:Level= 5.2 H igh Tier 370 M bps:Level= 6.2 H igh Tier
370 M bps:Level= 6.1 H igh Tier
370 M bps:Level= 6.2 H igh Tier
In A uto M ode,the Tier H igh and the low estLevelare

privileged.
Example:
 Standard = 1080i
 Profile = HEVC Main10 4:2:0
 Bitrate = 150Mbps
The level is automatically set to 5.1 High Tier
Level and Tier - Manual Mode

In order to avoid interoperability issues with decoders, it is proposed the Manual
Mode to allow the user to have all possible combinations of Profile/Level/Tier,
updating the bitrate accordingly.
The interoperability issues could occur because of some Standard recommendations,

as described in the examples below:
 DVB: HECV HDTV IRDs are not required to decode and display correctly
HEVC bitstreams or HEVC temporal video sub-bitstreams that do not obey
the constraints and limits associated with the Main or Main 10 Profile,
Main Tier, Level 4.1.

 ATSC 3.0: The bitstream shall conform to HEVC Main 10 Profile or HEVC
Scalable Main 10 Profile, Main Tier, Level 5.2.
Note that when a bitstream is indicated to conform to a level that is lower
than Level 5.2, it is also considered as conforming to Level 5.2.
The table below is applicable for all available profiles:
M ax ES rate
Level M ain Tier H igh Tier V ideo Form at
4.1 20 M bps 50 M bps H D /FH D
5.0 25 M bps 100 M bps H D /FH D
5.1 40 M bps 160 M bps H D /FH D /U H D
3 examples:
 The user knows the Level/Tier he wants to use:
 In HD, whatever the Profile, in Level 5.2 Main Tier, the maximum bitrate
shall be 60Mbps.
 In UHD, whatever the Profile, in Level 6.1 High Tier, the maximum bitrate
shall be 480Mbps.
 The user knows the bitrate he wants to set: HD @100Mbps. Whatever the Profile,
he can use:
 He has an IRD constraint with DVB recommendation about Main Tier:
Level 6.1/Main Tier, Level 6.2/Main Tier.
 He has no constraint: Level 5.1/High Tier up to Level 6.2/High Tier.
 The user knows the bitrate he wants to set: UHD @240Mbps. Whatever the
Profile, he can use:
 He has an IRD constraint with DVB recommendation about Main Tier:
Level 6.2/Main Tier.
 He has no constraint: Level 5.2/High Tier up to Level 6.2/High Tier.

AVC Profiles and Levels

The tables below show, according to the Profile and the ES rate allocated, the Level
automatically used by the encoder and this one applicable for all delays:

Entropy coding
The CP9000 uses by default the CABAC entropy coding however beyond 64Mb/s
for HD channel or 256Mb/s for UHD channel, it switches automatically to
CAVLC entropy coding.
Nevertheless, the CAVLC entropy coding can be forced using an expert

parameter. Refer to section ’Editing Expertparam eters’on page 145 to set the
CAVLC.
