1 About This Product
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This product is a new generation Transmodulator/Processor to support the growing demands for
multi-format, multi-standard video delivery and distribution. It can receive digital signals from
several inputs i.e. 8-VSB, (DVB-S/S2, DVB-C (optional), DVB-T/T2/ISDB-T (optional), ASI, and
others), It can also decrypt and process/select programs to various outputs including CVBS, HDMI,
SD/HD SDI, ASI, Output Modulator, etc. It supports multi-channel descrambling, multiplexing,
external table/data insertion, transcoding and transmodulating. It also supports video decoding with
two audio channels. With remote web-based management interface, it is ideal to support advanced
applications such as content distribution, real-time signal conversion and transmission.
1.2 SAFETY
To avoid electric-shock hazards, do not open the unit; refer service to qualified personnel only.
Do not expose the device in the sunlight, and keep it away from a 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 unit
surface.
The apparatus shall be connected the mains socket outlet with a protective grounded
connection.
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
experience of EMC technology.)
