2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
EX2-2200 MPEG-2/H.264 HD Encoder is the new broadcasting audio & video encoding device with powerful
functionality. It is equipped with multiple video input interfaces (SDI, CVBS, YPbPr and HDMI) and audio input interfaces
(AES, RCA and XLR) to make it possible to compatible with different signal sources.
Multiple audio and video encoding formats are available to meet customers’ various requirements. It supports 4 stereo (8
mono) or one DD 5.1 (AC3) audios embedded to mix with the video to form a stream output. The encoded program will
finally output in TS through ASI/IP port.

Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are
independent to each other. Device power requires AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or
AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before running.
3.5 GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
the grounding of all the modules is the basis of the reliability and stability of the device. It is also a guarantee
against lightning and interference. Precisely for this reason the system must follow the following rules.
Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency impedance. The
grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
Users should make sure that the 2 ends of the grounding wire are well conducted and antirusted.
It is forbidden to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less than 25 mm.
4 FRONT PANEL OPERATION
EX2-2200 front panel is the user operation interface. Through that the user can configure the device manually.
The LCD is a 2-line * 40-characters, back-lit, dot-matrix.
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER, MENU, and LOCK buttons in the front panel control.
The user can decide to directly use the factory settings, or he can customize the parameters.
DESCRIPTION OF BUTTONS FUNCTIONS
LEFT/RIGHT: chooses and sets the parameters
UP/DOWN: modifies activated parameters or page up/down scrolling when parameter is inactivated.
MENU: cancels entered value, resumes previous setting;
ENTER: activates the parameters which need modification, and confirm the changes after modification
LOCK: Lock the screen / cancel the lock state .After pressing lock key, the system will question the users to save or not
.If not, the LCD will display the current configuration state
