NOTE: The back panel components are SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) components.
ASI Output - port 2
1 GbE - eth0 for Management
Quad 1GbE - eth2 for input multicast from the main transcoder
Power input
1. ASI output: connect the ASI cable to the rear of the SD transcoder, on port 2 .
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the rear of the SD transcoder on eth0 for management and UI access .
3.a. For installations using IP outputs (with or without ASI output):
• Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the main RX1 to the IP switch.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the SD transcoder to the same IP switch
3.b. For installations using ASI outputs only:
• Connect an Ethernet cable from eth2 of the main transcoder to eth2 of the SD transcoder .
4. Connect the power cord to the back of the SD transcoder . Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet,
then power up the appliance.

Adjust the IP Address and Subnet Mask in the same way as you edited Eth0.
a. For installations using IP outputs edit the address and mask according to the network plan.
b. For installations using ASI outputs and an Ethernet cable direct to the main RX1, use the
IP Address 192.168.2.2 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0.
12. Do not edit Eth2 Gateway.
Step 2: Configure the network interfaces
1. Launch a web browser:
HTTP://{IP-Address} where {IP-Address} is the Management network address set in Step 2.
1. When the Login page displays, login with username admin and password admin.
2. Navigate to the Services Page.
3. Click the button to configure each Transcoder service:
4. On the Input tab, set the multicast destination to that set on the output of the main transcode receiver.

5. Click Save and Exit.
Result: The transcoder service will restart.
6. Repeat steps #4 to #6 for each of the transcoders.
IMPORTANT: Set them to the same multicast destination.
Result: MPTS output containing all the SD programs is now available on the ASI output.
Step 3: Log in to the unit and set up the Transcoder inputs
