 CHAPTER 1 Product Introductions

General Description
The HD/SD encoder & modulator is designed based on consumer electronics which allow audio/video signal

input in TV distributions with applications in home entertainment, surveillance control, hotel Digital Signage,

shops etc.

It is an all-in-one device integrating MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoding and modulating to convert audio/video

signals into ISDBT RF out.

The signals source could be from STB, satellite receiver, closed-circuit television cameras and antenna etc. Its

output signal is to be received by ISDBT TV sets or STBs etc.

 CHAPTER 2 Safety Instruction and Installations
Safety Instructions
WARNING: Hot plug is not allowed since it may cause system halted.
To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture.
The encoder modulator is powered with a voltage of 12V DC. The power supply voltage
must not exceed the recommended voltage, which otherwise may cause irreparable damage
to the device and the invalidation of the warranty. Therefore:
 Do not replace power supply with a voltage greater than 12V DC.
 Do not connect the device to the power if the power cord is damaged.
 Do not plug the device into mains supply until all cables have been connected correctly.
 Do not cut the cord.
Avoid placing the device next to central heating components and in areas of high
humidity.
Do not cover the device with elements that obstruct the ventilation slots.
If the encoder modulator has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, keep it in a warm
room minimum 2 hours before plugging into the mains.
Mount the device in vertical position with the connectors located on the top side.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the device is in proper condition.
Installations
RISK of damage to the unit
Mechanically handling the unit may result in damage. Do not connect the unit to the power
supply before or during assembly. Connect the unit as below instructed.
NO HOT PLUG AND CONNECT THE CABLE AS FOLLOWING STEPS.
1. Mount and tighten the screws and plugs

to secure the unit to the wall. Left 10 cm

1
of free space around from each unit.

4
 2. Connect the signal input in the

respective connectors. The

signal source can be from a

surveillance monitor, DVD,

set-top box, CCTV and etc. 3

5
3. Optionally, connect the loop-through

RF input coaxial cable.

2
4. Connect cable to RF output to
4
STB/TV.

5. Power supply connection: a) Connect the earth cable; b) Connect the power plug to the unit mains connector; c)

Connect the power plug to the mains socket.

Cascade Installation
This encoder modulator unit has 1 TV signal to RF output encoded as ISDB-T Digital TV signal.

Several encoder modulator units can

be cascaded in order to increase the

capacity. The maximum capacity of a

series of N units is 1xN incorporated

TV signals. To cascade 2 or more

units, connect the RF output of the

preceding unit to the TV input

(loop-through) of the next unit (see

right illustration).

LED – These lights indicate the working status
 Power: It lights on when the power supply is connected.
 Alarm: It lights on when the there is error, such as the signal source loss.
 USB: It lights on when the USB properly connected and detected.

Left/Right/Up/Down buttons – Use these buttons to turn the screen pages, shift the target
items by moving the triangle, or change the parameter settings in the program mode.
Enter – Use this button to enter a submenu or save a new setting after adjustment; press it
to start adjusting the value of certain items with Up/Down buttons when the corresponding
underline flash;
