AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer
This Limited Warranty and Disclaimer extends only to products purchased directly from AMX or an AMX Authorized Partner which
include AMX Dealers, Distributors, VIP’s or other AMX authorized entity.
AMX warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three (3) years from the date of
purchase, with the following exceptions:
• Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch overlay compo-
nents are warranted for a period of one (1) year.
• Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are warranted for a period of one (1) year.
• AMX lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting products, as long
as the AMX lighting products are under warranty. AMX also guarantees the control of dimmable loads that are properly con-
nected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or quality there of is not guaranteed, impart due to the random combi-
nations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers.
• AMX software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.
• Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.
• AMX AutoPatch Epica, Modula, Modula Series4, Modula CatPro Series and 8Y-3000 product models will be free of defects in
materials and manufacture at the time of sale and will remain in good working order for a period of three (3) years following the
date of the original sales invoice from AMX. The three-year warranty period will be extended to the life of the product (Limited
Lifetime Warranty) if the warranty card is filled out by the dealer and/or end user and returned to AMX so that AMX receives it
within thirty (30) days of the installation of equipment but no later than six (6) months from original AMX sales invoice date. The
life of the product extends until five (5) years after AMX ceases manufacturing the product model. The Limited Lifetime Warranty
applies to products in their original installation only. If a product is moved to a different installation, the Limited Lifetime Warranty
will no longer apply, and the product warranty will instead be the three (3) year Limited Warranty.
All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained from the AMX
RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After
the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will
be refused. AMX is not responsible for products returned without a valid RMA number.
AMX is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. This includes any lost profits, lost
savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX is not liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Autho-
rized Partner for a third party.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to (a) any AMX product that has been modified, altered or repaired by an unauthorized agent or
improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earth-
quake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts,
sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence.
This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including
negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by
any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the
possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.
Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of inci-
dental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not
apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AMX MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AMX

AMX TDS (Television Delivery System)
AMX Television Distribution System (TDS)
Overview
AMX Television Distribution Systems simplify the capture, storage and distribution of video content by
providing integrated solutions that support live video, pre-recorded video or TV signals. Using intuitive
interfaces, administrators can control incoming video or TV signals and determine where to project them,
either to a display, projector or PC. They support multicast, as well as most industry standard video file
formats plus audio. And our solutions can build on an existing video infrastructure to simplify the installation
and reduce costs in deploying a video content management system.
AMX Television Distribution System (TDS) products are designed to transmit digital TV content over
Ethernet using a multi-cast enabled LAN as opposed to a separate dedicated coaxial cable.
Television distribution is managed via the DTV-MA01 TDS Management Appliance. Use a PC to connect to
the DTV-MA01, to configure the transmitters and receivers in the system.
The AMX TDS Transmitters send a complete transport stream (MPEG2 and MPEG4, H264, as broadcast by
the service provider) which can include multiple individual channels of live programming to an AMX TDS
Receiver located at the TV display. It also sends control information over the same Ethernet network allowing
the ability to centrally manage the displays including powering them on and off. AMX TDS Receivers are
available both in High-Definition and Standard Definition models (FIG. 1).
Network Considerations
Because of the high bandwidth associated with A/V distribution, the TDS system is typically managed via a
separate IT infrastructure. However, content may be streamed over the main network if desired. Consult your
IT representative to determine the proper network configuration for the TDS system.
The AMX TDS system transmits audio/video using IP multicast. In order for this to work satisfactorily, it is
vital that the network switches are multicast-enabled in order to prevent unwanted flooding of traffic on the
network.
Within the context of AMX TDS documentation. the term “Multicast-enabled” means that all
network switches carry out IGMP snooping, and one switch must function as the IGMP querier.
AMX TDS supports version 2 of IGMP.

Use hyper terminal with default serial settings to communicate with the DTV Transmitters:
Setting the Transmitter’s IP Address via the RS232 Port
In most cases, all setup and configuration for both Transmitters and Receivers is done via the Digital TV
Configuration Manager (see the Digital TV Configuration Manager section on page 53 for information).
However, the Transmitter’s IP Address can also be specified via serial command, using the RS232 port on the
rear panel (see FIG. 10).
In order to configure the network settings via the RS232 port, the Transmitter must be placed in command
mode. To place the Transmitter in command mode, press ’Enter’ while the unit is booting up. To reboot, re-
cycle power by disconnecting and re-connecting the 12VDC POWER connector on the rear panel.
Use the setip lan serial command to configure the network settings:

Rack-Mounting DTV-TX03-US Transmitters
Use the DTV-RK-TX03 Rack-Mounting Kit (FG1410-61) to mount the DTV-TX03-US into a standard 19"
equipment rack. The DTV-RK-TX03 uses a single RU. The components of the Rack-Mounting Kit are shown
in FIG. 12:
The mounting base of the DTV-TX03-US Transmitter has four mounting holes that fit over the posts on the
mounting shelf.
1. Align the mounting holes on the Transmitter with the mounting posts on the Mounting Shelf (FIG. 13).
All DTV Transmitters and Receivers must have an assigned IP Address, Network
Mask, and Gateway Address in order for the DTV system to work correctly. This
applies to units that utilize DHCP and to units that have been assigned Static IP
addresses. If you are using DHCP, verify that these address assignments are
provided by the DHCP Server.
