■ Audio Codec
Audio encoding is automatically selected by the Modulator to reach the best quality according to local
modulation technique.
AC3 2.1 Dolby Digital Audio coding applies to ATSC (8VSB) broadcasting in North America.
MPEG MPEG-2 Layer 1 audio coding applies to DVB-T broadcasting in Europe and South America.
ACC Advanced Audio Coding for MPEG-4 applies to ISDB-T broadcasting in South America and certain
ATSC (8VSB) broadcasting in North America.
■ Video Quality
Video quality is optimized by determining the size and the speed to transmit MPEG packets to the TV.
The packet latency and delay variation are adjusted automatically by the Modulator to reach the best
video quality and performance on the TV.

ST-7000 Series HD Modulator

Before Installation
■ Choose Modulated Output Frequency for HDMI Video on TV
•Modulated output frequency of HDMI video can be any existing channel frequency available from
your local Channel Plan.
•Depending on the modulation technique of over-the-air broadcasting TV or Cable TV used in your
area, refer to the corresponding appendix for Channel Plan information.
•Select an unused or an unimportant channel from the Channel Plan as output frequency of HDMI
video.
• If you are unsure about which output frequency to be used for HDMI video
◊ Pick a frequency between channel gap, make sure it’s 6 MHz or 8 MHz away from the previous
and the next channels.
◊ Use the recommended frequency indicated on the corresponding Channel Plan appendix.
◊ Use the default frequency selected by the Modulator.
•Modulated output frequency and channel number can be configured from the LCD menu or Web
Configuration page.
• Follow the instructions of this Start Guide to set up output frequency and channel number to
watch HDMI video on your TV.
•Your TV needs to learn the HDMI video channel by auto or manual channel rescan. Refer to the
user’s guide of your TV set to practice the rescan for channel detection of HDMI video.
■ Combining (Cable) TV Signals from Service Provider (e.g. Comcast)
•In order to combine the existing TV broadcasting channels from service provider, it’s necessary to
select an output frequency and output channel (ATSC only) for Modulator’s HDMI video. The
channel information of your local over-the-air broadcasting or local Cable TV service can normally
be found online or from the channel listing table provided by your service provider.
• For business installers, a handheld spectrum analyzer up to 1 GHz can be helpful to make the
installation easier and faster although it’s not mandatory.
• If the modulator output is going to feed a Digital Cable Converter box or a set-top box, some
service providers offer a dedicated channel (and frequency) for modulated video and some service
providers may need a specific PID to be configured by the Modulator for MPEG streams to be
recognized by the set-top box. Refer to the section of MPEG Transport Stream Parameters for PID
setup.
• If the output power level of the Modulator is too high, it may oversaturate the TV signals delivered
by service providers. It’ necessary to lower the output power level or use an attenuator to reduce
the oversaturation.

ST-7000 Series HD Modulator

Installing Multiple Modulators
•Set up and connect the modulator to coax network or TV set one modulator at a time.
• Make sure the following settings for HDMI video modulation are different among modulators
① Output frequency refer to the section Choose Modulated Output Frequency for HDMI
Video on TV to pick up different output frequencies for different
modulators
② Channel name default channel name on ST-7000 series is SLK HD1, the channel naming
can be SLK HDn, where nindicates the modulator count.
③ Channel number and subchannel number (available on ATSC modulator only)
• A combiner or multiplexer is needed to combine the output signals of multiple modulators if the
coax network and the TV sets share the source of video output of modulators.
• If ST-7000 modulator is used together with other brands’ modulators, harmony settings of RF
output (power) level and output frequency must be found. Refer to the section Combining Service
Provider Signals for more information.
• Make a note on each modulator with RF output level and output frequency for quick reference
and easy trouble shooting whenever needed.
• If more than more than 40 TV sets are connected to share the modulator output signal, it might
be necessary to use active splitter or combiner to amplify the output power to reach individual
TV at the far end. The receiving power of each TV should be higher than 75
dBµV
or the signal
can be instable.
•Depending on the quality and aged damage, splitters, combiners and coaxial cable itself can
introduce high attenuation or insertion loss to the coax wiring. Power loss budget calculation
might be necessary along the delivery path.
In case multiple units of ST-7000 series modulators are installed on the same coax network/wiring
or connected to the same TV set, pay attention to following items to avoid conflicts or interference
among modulators.
