1 About This Product
1.1Introduction
This product is a new generation integrated receiver decoder to support the growing
demands for multi-format, multi-standard video delivery and distribution. It can receive
digital signals from several of inputs (DVB-S/S2, DVB-C (optional), DVB-T/ISDB-T (optional),
IP, Genlock and ASI), decrypt, and process/select programs to various outputs including IP,
CVBS, HDMI, SD/HD SDI and ASI. It supports multi-channel descrambling. It also supports
video decoding with two audio channels. With remote web-based management interface, it
is ideal to support advanced application such as content distribution, real-time signal
conversion and transmission.
1.2 Safety
To avoid electric-shock hazards, please do not open the receiver; refer service to
qualified personnel only.
Do not expose the device in the sunlight, and keep it away from the heat source.
Do not block ventilation holes of the device so that air can circulate freely.
Switch the device off whenever it remains out of service for an extended period.
Be sure to turn the device off and disconnect the AC power cord before cleaning the
receiver surface.
The apparatus shall be connected the mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection
The appliance coupler used as the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
This product has gone through regulated EMC test and meets with EMC safety
requirement.
( Such tests are conducted in a controlled EMC environment. A controlled
EMC environment exists in a building where the installation has been designed
having special regards to EMC, and where technical personnel are present with

5
experience of EMC technology.)

3 Operation Guide
3.1. Operation Overview
This chapter provides information on how to operate the IRD through front panel and WEB
UI. User can select the most proper operation method to set up the unit.
3.2. Powering Up and Initialization
Before powering-up the device, make sure that all cabling is correctly
connected (refer to chapter 2.4 of this manual). The device is correctly connected to
the power inlet and grounded.
Switch on the equipment through the rear power switch, and the unit is powered up and
starts the initialization.
The LCD screen is lighted up, and display information as following:
The initialization takes about 20 seconds to complete, and then the IRD shows the IP
address information as following:
If the unit fails to initialize and hangs at the “booting”stage, switching off the
device and then powering up again may help. If the device still fails to initialize,
please contact your service representative for help.
3.3. Front Panel Operation
Ways of operation: use the 6 navigation keys on front panel: Up / Down / Left / Right / Menu /

3.4. WEB UI Operation
Accessing the equipment via Web can be very convenient for remote configuration of the
equipment. Relative to the front panel settings WEB operation can provide a more friendly
man-machine interface, and with less limits in space. WEB Management is recommended.
3.4.1 WEB Management Connecting
Connection Instruction:
PIC-3.4- 1
1. Connect the “MANAGEMENT” port of the IRD to a network switch and connect the
management PC/server to the same network switch.

18
2. The IRD default IP address is 192.168.1.98. Please modify the management
server’s IP address or IRD IP address to be in the same IP section. To ensure that
the equipment is smoothly connected to the network.
3. Open any web browser (e.g. Mozilla, internet explorer, safari and etc.), input the
equipment’s IP address in format: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx refers to
IRD’s IP address) and press ENTER button to confirm. The browser will attempt to
connect to the device. If succeed, a login page will appear. (see PIC-3.4.2)
Note: Through WEB browser, you can manage several pieces of HD IRD at the
same time, as long as those equipments are connected to the server via Network
Switch. Make sure that the equipment and server’s IP address should be in the
same section. Nevertheless, Subnet Mask and Gateway should be the same both
the server and the equipment.
PIC-3.4- 2
To login, you need to enter the default username “admin” and password “admin”.
Then click “Login”.
If the user name and password is entered correctly, you will be redirected directly to
the main page.
