Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Outline
H-1/2SDI-QAM-IPLL series products are THOR’s all-in-one devices which integrate encoding,
multiplexing and modulation to convert V/A signals into digital RF output. It adopts inner drawer-
type structural design which greatly facilitates the change of encoding modules
(HDMI/CVBS/SDI/YPbPr/…) as needed. To meet customers’ various requirements, H-1/2SDI-
QAM-IPLL is also optionally equipped with 1 ASI input for re-mux and 2 ASI out ports. MPTS and
SPTS output are available via the gigabit DATA port.
With its various inputs available, our H-1/2SDI-QAM-IPLL series products are widely used in public
places such as metro, market hall, theatre, hotels, resorts, and etc for advertising, monitoring, training
and educating in company, schools, campuses, hospital… It’s a good choice to offer additional info
channels.

It can be covered with wallpaper, or brightness less paint.
Fire Protection
Fire alarm system and extinguisher
Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting
power are independent to each other. Device power requires AC
power 220V 50Hz. Please carefully check before running.
2.2.3 Grounding Requirement
All function modules’ good grounding designs are 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.
Coaxial cable’s outer conductor and isolation layer should keep proper electric conducting
with the metal housing of device.
Grounding conductor must adopt 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 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be 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.
2.2.4 Frame Grounding
All the machine frames should be connected with protective copper strip. The grounding wire
should be as short as possible and avoid circling. The area of the conduction between grounding

H-2SDI-QAM-IPLL
wire and grounding strip should be no less than 25mm2.
2.2.5 Device Grounding
Connecting the device’s grounding rod to frame’s grounding pole with copper wire.
2.3 Wire’s Connection
The grounding wire conductive screw is located at the right end of rear panel, and the power
switch, fuse, power supply socket is just beside ,whose order goes like this, power switch is on the
left ,power supply socket is on the right and the fuse is just between them.
Connecting Power Cord
User can insert one end into power supply socket, while insert the other end to AC power.
Connecting Grounding Wire
When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should adopt independent way, say,
share the same ground with other devices. When the device adopts united way, the grounding
resistance should be smaller than 1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting power cord to this Encoder Modulator, user should set the
power switch to “OFF”.

Chapter 3 Keyboard Operation
This Encoder Modulator’s front panel is user-operating interface. Before operating, users can
decide whether directly use the default setting or customize the input and output parameters setting.
The detailed operations go as follows:
Keyboard Function Description:
ENTER: Activating the parameters which need modifications, or confirming the change after
modification.
MENU: To cancel presently entered value, resume previous setting and return to previous menu.
LEFT/RIGHT: To move the “►” to choose or set the parameters.
UP/DOWN: To modify activated parameter or page up/down when parameter is inactivated.
LOCK: To Lock the screen / cancel the lock state. After pressing lock key, the system will question
the users to save present setting or not. If not, the LCD will display the current configuration state.
At the “Factory Configuration” page, user can press “ENTER” key to restore the factory default
configuration.
