Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Thor Broadcast series SDI and HDMI Pro-DVB 4 channel input encoders are
designed for modern state of the art broadcasts forASI and IP solutions. 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. All four program streams are
multiplexed into an ASI MPTS output on mirrored BNC terminals. The 4 encoded
HDMI (HD-SDI) programs will output through ASI and IP ports in MPTS or SPTS.
This powerful design allows you to distribute up to 1080p program streams in crystal
clear High Definition. This design is topped off with a dual power supply to ensure
that your Thor Broadcast encoder has the redundancy needed for any application.

2.5 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

H-4HD-EMS & EMH
Thor Fiber 2017 Tel: [phone] Email: [e-mail] www.thorbroadcast.com
electrical interference, lightening. Etc. Also it helps reject minor interference that
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
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 ㎡.
