Chapter 1 Introduction
Product Overview
The Thor Broadcast H-12HDMI-QAM-IPLL Encoder-RF Modulator is a professional
high capacity solution for any headend that requires integration of encoding,
multiplexing, scrambling and modulating. It supports 12 HDMI and 12 CC inputs, one
DVB-C tuner input and 512 IP input through Data1 (GE) port. It also supports DVB-C
RF out with 16 non-adjacent carries and supports 16 MPTS which mirror the 16
carriers through the Data2 (GE) output port. Tomeet customers’ various requirements,
it is also equipped with 1 ASI output as mirror of one of RF output carriers. Managed
through any modern web browser, each encoder can be independently adjusted for
bitrate, codecs, and video image qualities. Encoding support for the MPEG-2, or
H.264, codec along with Dolby AC/3 audio ensure that the programs generated by this
encoder can be used around the world on a global scale.

carefully check before running.
Grounding Requirement
It is important to keep this device grounded to ensure all of the modules
function correctly. Correctly grounding the device will also help prevent any
electrical interference, lightening. Etc. Also it helps reject minor interferencethat
may disrupt the devices ability to function smoothly. General rule of them, make
sure the device is grounded when installing anywhere.
Always use copper wire. When applied correctly the ground must be wrapped

device setting.
well to ensure maximum conduction so it can reduce any high frequencies. The
copper ground wire should also be as short and thick as possible
Installer must make sure that the two ends of the ground are well conducted
and have appropriate anti-rust properties.
It is prohibited to use any other device as part of the grounding electric
circuit.
The area of the conduction between the ground wire and device’s frame
should be no less than 25 ㎡.
Chapter 3 WEB NMS Operation
You must connect the Encoder Modulator to a PC in order to setup the configuration, to
control and set configure the settings you must plug the device into web NMS Port. Users
should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from this device’s IP address;
otherwise, it would cause IP conflict.
Login
The default IP address of this device is 192.168.0.136.
Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with net cable, and use ping
command to confirm they are on the same network segment.
I.G. the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252, we then change the device IP to 192.168.99.xxx
(xxx can be 1 to 254 except 252 to avoid IP conflict).
Use web browser to connect the device with PC by inputting the Encoder Modulator’s IP
address in the browser’s address bar and press Enter.
It will display the Login interface as Figure-1. Input the Username and Password (Both
the default Username and Password are “admin”.) and then click “LOGIN” to start the
