Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Outline
The Thor Broadcast new Edge QAM Modulator is a new 1 RU chassis headend in a box that will
ingest IP feeds and convert to a QAM channel lineup of your choosing. The latest gen unit has an
inclusive chassis that no longer uses blades but does all necessary functioning preloaded to
successfully convert IP streams to 16 (or 32- model dependent) QAM channels to create your own
efficient IPTV headend into an RF headend. This powerhouse will scramble, multiplex, and modulate
up to 16 or 32 channels that supports a maximum 1024 IP TS streams through the 2 GE ports and
output 16 or 32 non-adjacent carriers (50MHz~960MHz) via the single RF output interface on the
rear of the unit. High performance encoding means you can now distribute countless channels into
the bandwidth of 16 QAM carriers.
1.2 Key Features
2 GE input, SFP interface
Supports up to 1024 channels TS over UDP/RTP, unicast and multicast, IGMP v2\v3
Max 840Mbps for each GE input
Accurate PCR adjusting
CA PID filtering, remapping and PSI/SI editing
Up to 180 PIDS remapping per channel
DVB general scrambling system (ETR289), simulcrypt standards ETSI 101 197 and ETSI 103 197
16 multiplexed or scrambled TS over UDP/RTP/RTSP output
16 non-adjacent QAM carriers output, compliant to DVB-C (EN 300 429) and ITU-T J.83 A/B
RS (204,188) encoding
NMS Web-based Network management

3.2.3 Grounding
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 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 ㎡.

Chapter 4 Web NMS Management
This is literally how you control the device; there is no front interface with D-Pad
4.1 Login
The factory default IP address is 192.168.0.136 and users can connect the device and web NMS
through this IP address.
Connect the PC (Personal Computer) and the device with a net cable, and use ping command to
confirm they are on the same network segment. For instance, the PC IP address is 192.168.99.252,
we then change the device IP to 192.168.99.xxx (xxx can be 0 to 255 except 252 to avoid IP conflict).
Launch the web browser an input the device 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 device setting.
