Chapter 1 Product Outline
1.1 Overview
Universal Satellite and ATSC IRD is our all-in-one device which integrates demodulation, de-scrambler, re-mux
and decoding in one case to convert RF signals into audio/video (CVBS/YPbPr/HDMI/SDI) output.
It is a 1-U case which supports 2 tunerinputs to receive signal from satellite. The two CAMs/CIs accompanied can
descramble the programs input from encrypted RF, ASI and IP. The CAM requires NO unsightly external power
cords, cables, or additional remote control device.
Its design facilitates the change of modules (demodulator or decoder) as needed.
To meet various requirements, Universal Satellite and ATSC IRD is also equipped with ASI and IP input for
re-mux, and output with 2 ASI ports and IP port.
1.2 Features
•Demodulation + descrambler +re-mux+decoder modules in one box
•1 DVB-S/S2 + 1 ATSC Tuner inputs
•1 ASI & 1 IP (UDP) input for re-mux
•One CAM can decrypt multiple programs from Tuners/ASI/IP
•One channel video output with various interface option (MPEG2/H.264)
•Dual stereo audio output, or one Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus (5.1) channel output
•Support Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital Plus Decoding and passthrough
•IP (1 MPTS & 8 SPTS) over UDP and RTP/RTSP output;ASI out
•Supports CC and Subtitle
•Supports maximum 128 PID mapping per input
•Pluggable and changeable demodulator and decoder modules
•LCD display, Remote control and Firmware, web NMS management
•Updates via web

2.2.2 Environment Requirement
Item Requirement
Machine Hall Space
When user installs machine frame array in one machine
hall, the distance between 2 rows of machine frames
should be 1.2~1.5m and the distance against wall
should be no less than 0.8m.
Machine Hall Floor
Electric Isolation, Dust Free
Volume resistivity of ground anti-static material:
1X107~1X1010Ω
, Grounding current limiting resistance:
1M (Floor bearing should be greater than 450Kg/㎡)
Environment
Temperature 5~40℃(sustainable ), 0~45℃(short time)，
installing air-conditioning is recommended
Relative Humidity 20%~80% sustainable 10%~90% short time
Pressure 86~105KPa
Door & Window Installing rubber strip for sealing door-
gaps and dual
level glasses for window
Wall It can be covered with wallpaper, or 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 100-240V 50-
60Hz. Please
carefully check before running.
2.2.3 Grounding Requirement
•Good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also, they are the most
important guarantee of lightning protection and interference rejection. Therefore, the system
must follow this rule.
•Coaxial cables 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 are properly connected.

Thor Fiber 2018 Tel: [phone] Email: [e-mail] http://www.thorbroadcast.com
•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 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
•Connecting Power Cord
•User can insert one end into power supply socket, while insert the other end toAC power.
•Connecting Grounding Wire
•When the device solely connects to protective ground, it should not share the same ground
with other devices. If the device shares grounding, the resistance should be smaller than
1Ω.
Caution:
Before connecting power cord to Universal Satellite and ATSC IRD, user should set the
power switch to “OFF”.
2.4 Signal Cable Connection
The signal connections include the connection of input signal cable and the connection of output
signal cable. The details are as follows:
