Introduction
The QMPro1100/i (Single) and QMPro1200/i (Dual) is CE labs®
technology series of encoders/modulators that convert Digital
Video Broadcasting (DVB) Standard or High definition video and
audio signals to a QAM RF output. This RF signal may be routed
throughout a building using traditional CATV coax and distribution
network. This allows the HD RF signal to be used on as many TVs
as desired.
The QMPro1100/i and QMPro1200/i are perfect for multi-video
distribution solutions in the commercial and institutional market
(hotels, motels, sports bars, restaurants, hospitals, casinos,
business and university campuses, etc.), as well as home
entertainment systems.
The QMPro i-series (1100i or 1200i) adds the additional functionality
of AV streaming IP packets over an Ethernet network.

06
System Installer must adhere to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Each unit is shipped factory tested. Ensure all items are removed
from the container prior to discarding any packing material.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for shipping damage with particular
attention to connectors and controls. If there is any sign of damage
to the unit or damaged or loose connectors contact your distributor
immediately. Do not put the equipment into service if there is any
indication of defect or damage.
It is highly recommended that quality cables and connectors be
used for all video and audio source connections.
Installation
1. The unit can be rack mounted in a standard EIA19” rack using the provided
rack ears kit. Connect the right and left rack mount ears (if rack-mounting).
2. The unit comes with HDMI and Component/Composite (via DIN) inputs.
Connect the required cables to the back of the unit using a HDMI or DIN
cables. If your source is High Definition, it is possible that the HDMI signal
could be encrypted with HDCP. In this case, you may need to use the DIN
cable to connect to the source Component video output. When using the
DIN cable, the Right and Left audio should also be connected if the display
requires audio.
3. Repeat this step for each video source connection.
4. Be sure the connections for each source are consistent with the unit’s inputs
(IN1…IN2).
5. Use a quality 75Ωcoaxial cable with “F” connectors from the unit’s RF Output.
6. IP output: connect the Ethernet cable to the IP output RJ45 connector to your
IGMP capable switch.
7. Connect the included power cord to the unit’s POWER plug.
8. Connect the power cord to an appropriately rated AC power outlet.
DEVICE Programming and Setup:
Connecting to the Web GUI Interface:
Factory Default IP: 192.168.1.9
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Remote Setup Port of the QMPro and to your
PC/Laptop.
2. Modify your PC/Laptop’s IP address to 192.168.1.50 and the sub-net to
255.255.255.0.
3. Enter ‘192.168.1.9’ into your web browser.
4. Make all required parameter changes.
5. Save all changes.

Encoder Programming and Setup via GUI
Interface:
After connecting the device to the Remote Setup port located on
the rear of the device and connecting to a PC / Laptop.
Step 1: Enter Device's IP address in web browser.
(QMPro1200i shown)
Command Processing:
Please not that upon system initialization, the hardware will boot in a few
minutes and then populate system parameters. There may be a small delay in
the menu page updates that are performed after the hardware changes are
complete.

11
Step 1: Enter Device's IP address in web browser.
(QMPro1200i shown)
Step 2: Enter User Name/Password
Select Encoder Setup
After selecting the Encoder Setup Tab the user will be prompted to
enter the user name and password for device.
GUI Login Password:
Default User Name: admin
Default Password: Admin123
Note: To change the Password for the GUI go to the Administration
Tab.

12
Step 3: Encoder Setup
This page allows the user to congure the parameters of each encoder. After changes are made, use
the Save and Conrm button. The modulator(s) will apply the new settings.

13
Encoder Setup page allows the integrator to select and set the
parameters needed for each stream.
1. Select the “Edit” Icons for the Encoders. (Both Encoders can be
managed at the same time)
2. Select and set the specific parameters settings as required.

14
3. After setting all the required parameters- Select the edit icon
again. (Note: All changed parameters will be shown in red)

15
4. Select “Active/Inactive” to activate for remaining parameter(s)
as required.
5. Select “Save and Confirm” to save all changed parameters.
6. Select “Apply” in the pop-up window.
7. Repeat process for each encoder or if additional changes are
required.

16
Virtual Channel Number
Virtual Channel Number is a method of allowing installers to
manipulate and add a channel to a new or existing cable system.
Whether the installer is installing a new channel into a system that
uses Major and Minor channel numbering (2.1, 3.1) or into a system
that uses Single Channel enumeration (Ch. 101, 199).
Note: Some HDTV’s may represent the Virtual Channel using a dash:
12-1, 12-2.
VCN allows channels to be added regardless of what RF freq. (MHz)
the modulator is actually occupying.
VCN Modes Examples for the QMPro Series:
The QMPro Series of HD Modulators offers 3 VCN (Virtual Channel
Number) Modes.
1. VCN (Auto two-part)-VCN Auto 2-part- will force the VCN
channels to be based on the CH/freq. selected on the Output
Setup page of the device.
Examples:
CH/freq QMPro 1100/1100i QMPro1200/1200i
7 (177MHz) 7.1 7.1, 8.1
57 (423MHz) 57.1 57.1, 58.1
101 (657MHz) 101.1 101.1, 102.1
134 (855MHz) 134.1 134.1, 135.1
Note: QMPRO 1200/1200I will restrict selecting CH# 135 as the VCN
auto mode will occupy 135.1.
Setting the Output Channel of the QMPro1200/1200i to CH 134 will
force the unit in VCN Auto to set 134.1 and 135.1
Both channels of the QMPro 1200 and 1200i will occupy QAM channel
134 (855MHz) in a 6MHz bandwidth.
(2 Programs within 1 QAM Channel)
Note: QMPro 1100/1100i will allow CH 135(861MHz) to be selected.

17
2. VCN (Manual two-part)- VCN Manual 2-part- will allow the
installer to control VCN channels regardless of the CH/freq.
selected on the Output Setup page of the device.
Examples:
CH/freq QMPro 1100/1100i QMPro1200/1200i
7 (177MHz) 2.1 2.1, 9.1
57 (423MHz) 55.1 23.1, 57.2
101 (657MHz) 100.1 101.1, 107.1
134 (855MHz) 134.1 130.1, 129.2
As shown in the above examples, the installer can easily set and
select any Virtual channel regardless of the Output Channel occupied
by the modulator.
3. VCN (Manual one-part)-VCN Manual 1-part- will allow the installer
to control VCN channels regardless of the CH/freq. selected on
the Output Setup page of the device.
Examples:
CH/freq QMPro 1100/1100i QMPro 1200/1200i
7 (177MHz) 2 2, 15
57 (423MHz) 59 59, 69
101 (657MHz) 102 101, 107
134 (855MHz) 130 133, 135

18
Streaming Setup
1. Enable the Stream by selecting the check box 1-2.
2. (All streams can be enabled at the same time by using the “mas-
ter” checkbox)
3. Enter the stream Destination IP [example: udp://224.1.1.4:1234].
4. Set the TTL value.
5. Select ‘Save and Conrm’ once all the streams are setup. Dis-
abling IP Stream(s):
To disable an IP Stream uncheck the checkbox in front of the appro-
priate IP Stream_ID
Disabling IP Stream(s):
To disable an IP Stream uncheck the checkbox in front of the
appropriate IP Stream_ID

19
Output Setup
Use the Output Setup page to set the RF output type, RF Output CH/
frequency, Attenuation, QAM, and Interleaver.
1. Enable the RF by checking the checkbox. (Factory Default is en-
abled)
2. Select and set the required parameters for your installation
RF: Normal, C.W., Inverted (Factory Default is Normal)
Channel Type: STD, HRC, IRC (Factory Default is STD) CH/Freq.: Fac-
tory Default is 101.
Attenuation: 0 ~ -20 (Factory Default is 0)
Constellation (QAM Type): 256 QAM, 64 QAM (Factory Default is 256)
Interleaver: Factory Default is I=128, J= 1.
Delayed Audio Output
Use the Delayed Audio Output Parameters to Delay the audio output
of the Encoder in order to better match the video at the TV. This allows
external audio ampliers to achieve lip sync with RF Displays.
1. Set the Delay Buer (mS) as required.
2. Select the Program (Program 1 or Program 2) audio to be out-
putted via the L/R Audio outputs on the rear of the device.
Save and Conrm all changes settings on Output Setup page.
