HP824IU is a professional high integration device which includes encoding,
multiplexing, and modulation in one body. It supports up to 24 HDMI input, one
DVB-C/T/ISDB-T (ATSC optional) tuner input and up to 512 IP input for re-mux.
After multiplexing, it output 16 non-adjacent ISDB-T/DVB-C carries. It also
supports 16 MPTS as mirror of 16 carriers through Data2 (GE) port. This full
functionality makes it ideal for small CATV head end system, and it’s a smart choice
for hotel TV system, entertainment system in sports bar, hospital, apartment…

All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices.
Also, they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference
rejection. Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
Users should make sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be
antirust.WIt is prohibited 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 mm2.
