USER’S MANUAL V1.0:
Important Notes
1. The HDT-02 series COFDM High Definition camera transmitter is
completely compatible with the DVB-T Standard, included in the
European Standard ETSI EN300744
2. The HDT-02 digital camera transmitter applies a MPEG-2 compression to
either composite video, SD-SDI or HD-SDI input signals. An MPEG-1
layer 2 compression is applied to the corresponding 4 analogue audio
channels or digital SDI embedded audio signals. The resulting
multiplexed signal is transmitted using COFDM modulation system.
3. The HDT-02 transmitter operates in either 2GHz or 3GHz frequency
bands from 2.0 to 2.5GHz, from 2.2 to 2.6GHz and from 3.4 to 3.7GHz
respectively.
4. Equipment’s maximum output power is 100mWatt.
5. Special care should be taken with SDI cables, quality and length are very
important specially when HD-SDI signals are transmitted.
6. It is not recommended to switch the HDT-02 camera transmitter on
without antenna or load.
7. When 720p HD-SDI signal is transmitted transmitter’s output bitrate
should be higher than 8Mbps. On the other hand, if 1080i HD-SDI signal
is transmitted, transmitter’s output bitrate should be higher than
16Mbps. If the transmitter is not properly configured (modulation, FEC
and guard interval) minimum bitrate alarm will occur.
8. When an audio channel is not used it should be disabled.
9. The HDT-02’s keypad is locked when it is not operated for 3 minutes. To
unlock it right arrow button should be pressed for several seconds.
10.Only authorized personnel should open the product and any repair or
warranty will be invalidated if the seals are broken.

HDT-02 High Definition Digital Camera Transmitter
USER’S MANUAL V1.0:
Chapter 1: Introduction
The HDT-02 camera transmitter can broadcast High Definition (HD) and
Standard Definition (SD) signals using COFDM (Coded Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation in 2K mode.
HD technology allows the delivery of High Definition images with excellent
resolution and detail, SDI signals of up to 1.5Gbps.
Input video signals, composite video, SD-SDI or HD-SDI are MPEG-2
encoded, together with 4 analogue audios or 4 digital audios embedded on
the SDI signal. The resulting transport Stream is COFDM 2K mode
modulated to make the transmission of all this information possible. MPEG-2
coding can be done using different profiles: MP@HL, MP@ML and 422@ML.
Minimum latency when super low delay option is selected is 45ms.
The HDT-02 transmitter has a Transport Stream ASI input so it can be used
as a repeater.
It is available in 3 different frequency ranges: from 2.0 to 2.5GHz, from 2.2
to 2.6GHz and from 3.4 to 3.7GHz. Maximum output power is 100mWatt.
High quality components have been used to achieve the best output signal
quality.
Transmitter system operation is very easy. It has a display and a keyboard
which make possible the configuration and monitorization of every
parameter of the equipment.
The equipment is fed with DC power supply from 10 to 36V. It can be
powered through DC power supply connector or through the battery mount.
Its excellent design, mechanical and electronic assembly make the HDT-02
a robust and reliable solution.

The LED next to the ON/OFF button provides the following
information:
If the Led is off the equipment is not being fed
The Led flashes red when there is power into the equipment but it is
turned off
The Led lights up in green when the equipment is turned on
If the equipment is locked the Led flashes in green
The Led flashes green and red if the HDT-02 is alarmed.
When the input signal type is configured to be composite video a “V” is
displayed in the input signal selection. On the other hand, if the selected
input signal type is SDI an “S” is displayed in the main screen.
Figure 1.2 HDT-02’s Main screen. Selected input signal: SDI
The audio status indicator shows an “A” when the selected input audio
signals are analogue. On the other hand, if the audios are embedded in the
SDI input signal the equipment should be configured to extract the audios
from the SDI signal. In this case an “E” is displayed in the audio status
indicator.
If the selected input signal type is composite video the audios cannot be
configured as embedded as they cannot be extracted from the SDI signal.
When the selected input type is ASI, the main screen shows:
