5.12.3 Interleaving
The DMD10 allows for interleaving depths of 4 or 8 RS blocks. This allows for burst errors to be
spread over 4 or 8 RS blocks in order to enhance the error correcting performance of the RS codec.
For open network modes, the DMD10 automatically sets the interleaving depth to 4 for QPSK or
BPSK or 8 for 8PSK. In closed network mode the interleaver depth can be manually set to 4 or 8.
