CHAPTER 1 Product Introductions
General Description
Electrocraft EPS-HDM1001IPL encoder & modulator is designed based on consumer electronics which allow
HDMI signal input in TV distributions with applications in home entertainment, surveillance control, hotel Digital
Signage, etc. It is an all-in-one device integrating encoding and modulating to convert audio/video signals into
DVB-C/DVB-T/ISDB-T/ATSC RF out. The signals source could be from STB, satellite receiver, closed-circuit
television cameras and etc. Its output signal is to be received by TVs or STBs etc.
Grounding: to connect the earth cable
DC 12V: power input
HDMI: HDMI stream input supporting HD signals (HDMI output port for loop)
RF in: RF Loop-through input (10 dB attenuation)
RF out: RF output to distribute modulated signal (DVB-C: 100-1000 MHz)
Audio in/output Port: When the Audio source input, user can choose the audio delay time and let it output,
for making the Audio/Video synchronization.

CHAPTER 2 Safety Instruction and Installations
Safety Instructions
WARNING: Hot plug is not allowed since it may cause system halted.
To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture.
The encoder modulator is powered with a voltage of 12V DC. The power supply voltage
must not exceed the recommended voltage, which otherwise may cause irreparable damage
to the device and the invalidation of the warranty. Therefore:
⚫Do not replace power supply with a voltage greater than 12V DC.
⚫Do not connect the device to the power if the power cord is damaged.
⚫Do not plug the device into mains supply until all cables have been connected correctly.
⚫Do not cut the cord.
Avoid placing the device next to central heating components and in areas of high humidity.
Do not cover the device with elements that obstruct the ventilation slots.
If the encoder modulator has been kept in cold conditions for a long time, keep it in a warm
room minimum 2 hours before plugging into the mains.
Mount the device in vertical position with the connectors located on the top side.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the device is in proper condition.
Installations
RISK OF damage to the unit
Mechanically handling the unit may result in damage. Do not connect the unit to the power
supply before or during assembly. Connect the unit as below instructed.
NO HOT PLUG!
1. Mount and tighten the
1

screws and plugs to secure
the unit to the wall. Left 10
cm of free space around from
each unit.
2. Connect the signal input in the respective connectors. The signal source can be from a surveillance monitor,
DVD, set-top box, CCTV and etc.
3. Optionally, connect the loop-through RF input coaxial cable.
4. Connect cable to RF output to
STB/TV.
5. Power supply connection: a)
Connect the earth cable; b)
Connect the power plug to the
unit mains connector; c)
Connect the power plug to the
mains socket.
Cascade Installation
EPS-HDM1001IPL unit has 1 TV signal to RF output encoded as Digital TV signal.
Several EPS-HDM1001IPL units can be
cascaded in order to increase the capacity.
The maximum capacity of a series of N
units is 1xN incorporated TV signals. To
cascade 2 or more units, connect the RF
output of the preceding unit to the TV
input (loop-through) of the next unit (see
right illustration)
