1. Safety Instructions & Precautions
Do not operate the HD modulator in high-humidity areas or expose it to water or moisture. Objects filled with
liquid should be placed on the device.
Disconnect the product from the wall outlet prior to cleaning. Use a light, damp cloth (no solvents) to dust or
clean the product.
Do not block or cover slots and openings in the HD modulator. These are provided for ventilation and protection
from overheating. Never place the HD modulator near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the HD
modulator in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation.
We strongly recommend using the enclosed ground wire connecting to the ground cable of your house/building
to avoid voltage spikes or ground fault.
Never insert objects of any kind into the HD modulator through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts. This also could cause fire or electrical shock.
When replacement parts are required, ensure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutions may damage the HD modulator or cause electrical shock or fire
and will void the warranty.
Upon completion of any service or repair to the HD modulator, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the HD modulator is in proper operating condition.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
!

Transport Stream is a media format or a container. It may contain multiple streams of audio & video content
working together in the transport stream. Transport streams are designed with synchronization and recovery in
mind for lossy distribution found in antenna or ATSC broadcasting in order to continue a media stream without
loss in transmission. When an over-the-air ATSC signal is captured to a file, this is referred to as Transport
Stream format.

will be 19000 Kbps
3-3-2. QAM - Constellation setup
An example of the ATSC major and minor numbers used for a station in the United States or Canada would
be to typically have its main programming airing on say channel 8 (the "major channel") with analog on 8.0 and
digital on 8.1 (the first two "minor channels") with other entertainment channels being below 8.99 on channels
8.2, 8.3, and up and any additional informational data channels ranging from 8.100 to 8.999. The channels can
also be displayed using a hyphen (such as 8-1) or a space; however, on a common seven segment display.
