1. Introduction
1.1 Product overview
The product is presented for two types of mounting: onto the wall (Ref. 554501),
and 19 inch cabinet mounting (Ref. 554601).
The modulator converts the HD A/V baseband signals into a DVB-T multiplex of
RF within the range 30 ~ 960 MHz.
It features 2 encoders, which are accessed by F-type connectors, and 1 additional
RF input. The signals can come from satellite receivers, CCTV cameras, Blu-
ray players, antennas, ... etc. Its output is a DVB-T TV multiplex which can be
received with the corresponding DTT STB.
The device can be used for monitoring, training courses and presentations,
schools, universities, hospitals, ..., in addition to being the best choice for public
premises which oer sporting events, VIP entertainment channels,.. and other.

2.2 Installation precautions
This section to explain the cautions the users must have to avoid any injures
when using or installing the product. For this reason, please read all details here
before installing or using the product.
General Precautions
Must be operated and maintained free of dust or dirty.
The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the products
with the power on.
After use, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.
Power precautions
When you connect the power source, make sure it will not cause any overload.
Avoid operating on a wet oor in the open. Make sure the extension cable is
in good condition.
Make sure the power switch is o before you start to install the device.
Grounding Requirement
All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of
devices. Also, they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and
interference rejection. Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
Grounding conductor must be a copper conductor in order to reduce high
frequency impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as
possible.
Users should make sure the both ends of grounding wire are electric
conductor and antirust.
It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit.
The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame
should be no less than 25mm2

3.3 General setting for Main Menu
By pressing “Lock” key to enter the main menu, the LCD will display the
following pages:
User pressing UP or DOWN buttons to specied menu item, and then pressing
ENTER to enter the submenus as below:
1) Alarm status --- the alarm indicator will light on if there is no A/V signals
input.
2) Encoder setting --- choose this submenu, the LCD will show “input setting”,
press the ENTER key and control the UP or Down key to move the arrow.
User could nd how to set the audio and video encoding bit rate.
3) Modulator setting
When the “modulator setting” submenu has been chosen, users can nd below
dierent parameters for setting. And the LCD window would respectively show
like these.
- Bandwidth
There are three possible options provided for selecting bandwidth: 6M, 7M, and
8M. When the display shows them, user just need swift LEFT and RIGHT key to
choose and repressing“ENTER”for conrm.
- Constellation
Three dierent constellations: QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM will be show on the
LCD window when Constellation been entered.
- QPSK: Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, Selecting this option indicates the
device works as DVB-S modulation mode

IMPORTANT:
This equipment generates a delay of about 2 seconds between the signal at
inputs A/V and HDMI, and their corresponding outputs in RF and IP.
For this reason, the use of game consoles (eg PS3, XBox360 ...) as signal sources
is not recommended, because only watching movies is achieved, not being
able to really play.”

5) IP out setting
Follow the help guideline for set IP out conguration.
IP Output: The IP Output option, must be enable.
Service IP: The IP Output Port address. The format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (like as
192.168.2.137).
Output IP: The IP Output data receive address. The format is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(like as 224.2.2.2). After set the Output IP address , you must use the new
address to receive IP Output data.

network.
Gateway: If the device is in dierent net segment, you must set the gateway.
Port: The UDP protocol port (like as 8001), you should use Output IP and new
port to receive IP Output data (like as udp://224.2.2.2:8001).
Note: The signal available at the IP Output is the same as the RF output.
The protocol used for the MUX stream is UDP, so to see the modulated
channels you need a program that has this protocol, like VLC Media Player.
In recent versions of this particular program is necessary to put @ before the
IP address, for example, “udp :/ / @ 224.2.2.2:1234”.
Important: Not all computers have the ability to view a service provided by a
554803.

Mechanical criteria which have been published by Televés. To prevent potential
hazard, please strictly follow the operation conditions.
Prevention Measure
Installing the device at the place in which environment temperature between
0 to 45 °C
Making sure good ventilation for the heat-sink on the rear panel and other
heat-sink bores if necessary
Checking the input AC within the power supply working range and the
connection is correct before switching on device
Checking the RF output level varies within tolerant range if it is necessary
Checking all signal cables have been properly connected
Frequently switching on/o device is prohibited; the interval between every
switching on/o must greater than 10 seconds.
Conditions need to unplug power cord
Power cord or socket damaged.
Any liquid owed into device.
Any stu causes circuit short
Device in damp environment
Device was suered from physical damage
Longtime idle.
After switching on and restoring to factory setting, device still cannot work
properly.
Maintenance needed

7.3.1 NIT Conguration
In this menu is possible to edit the Transport Stream ID, Original Network ID
(each unit has to have a dierent TSID and ONID), assign a Network name (the
same in all units of the same network) and more. After each change is necessary
to press Update NIT.
By pressing “Add” you will have access to the menu of the next images:
7.3.2 NIT, Hierarchy and LCN Conguration
In this menu is possible to edit the LCN of each program (in order to be listed
correctly the Hierarchy Information must be set to“a-1, a-2 or a-4”, the same on
each unit of the same network).
The LCN can be set by any order, in the image above it can be observed that the
unit 2 will have program 1, 3 and 4 and unit 1 will have program 2.
After pressing “save” on the previous menu, is necessary to press “Update NIT”
again, and then in the “Save/Restore” menu press “Save cong”.

List aspect without LCN
On these two images it can be seen the two possible ways to list the programs:
• With LCN – the programs are listed in order according with the LCN
conguration set above.
• Without LCN – the programs list will depend on the TV/STB and it can be based
on:
- Alphabetic order
- MUX frequency
- First the HD programs, listed based on the MUX frequency
- Then the SD programs, listed based on the MUX frequency
