Product Description
The Data-Tronix DT-ATSC-IP-8 allows the operator to create a custom IPTV distribution system output
from ATSC off-air and/or QAM input sources. This unit accepts eight 8VSB Off-Air or clear QAM sources
and outputs these in IP. The outputs can be mapped to a desired unicast or multicast IP address. The
DT-ATSC-IP-8 unit will also process most major local networks broadcast that have a second or third local
channel which can contain important weather related content, local sports, and secondary programming.
Integrators who are concerned with reliability will find this unit to be the perfect solution for adding external
Off-Air or clear QAM content to their IP distribution system whether it is distributed through an existing internal
network or a dedicated IP video distribution network. Additionally it’s flexibility provides a convenient, reliable,
inexpensive secondary source for local broadcast sources when the primary
source (satellite, CATV etc.) is not available.
Key Features
•8 Independent ATSC:8VSB/J.83b (QAM-B) Inputs
•Up to 32 Independent SPTS IP Output Streams
•Graphical User Interface for configuration
•Sources can be mapped to Unicast or Multicast IP outputs

Installation
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.
System/Site Requirements
1. It is highly recommended that the hardware be housed /placed in a well-ventilated area with temperatures not to
exceed between 0C to 45C.
2. RF Antennas must be properly installed and verified for proper signal reception and signal levels.
3. IGMP Capable (and enabled) Network switches ARE REQUIRED for IP Output systems. It is highly
recommended that a professional IT contractor or staff member properly sets up and configures the IGMP Switch.
Hardware Installations and Connections
It is highly recommended that quality cables and connectors be used for all video and audio source connections.
1. The unit is designed to be rack mounted in a standard EIA 19” rack.
2. Connect the video source to the unit’s Tuner Input jack. Use a quality 75Ω coaxial cable with “F” connectors to
ensure the quality.
Repeat this step for each video source connection required.
Be sure the connections for each source are consistent with the unit’s inputs (Input 1…Input 8).
3. Connect an ethernet cable from IP OUT Port on the destination.
4. Connect an ethernet cable from UTILITY Port on the DT-ATSC-IP-8 to a PC/MAC for setting.
5. Connect the included power cord to the unit’s POWER plug.
6. Connect the power cord to an appropriately rated AC power outlet.
Reset to Default
1. With the unit's power cord disconnected, press and hold reset button.
2. Reconnect power to the unit while holding the reset button, the PWR LED will
automatically flash on and off once, then release the reset button to reset to default.
