Chapter 1
1.1Outline
The Thor Broadcast H-16QAM-IP-RF gateway is our new solution in converting tuner based
inputs into IP transport streams. This ideal head-end conversion device has massive processing
power which lets you intake up to 16 QAM frequencies and convert them to a single Ethernet
output. Thor’s new power packed device integrates tuner demodulation and IP gateway
functionality, which can demodulate the signals from 16 tuners into 16 MPTS or 512 SPTS via
UDP and RTP/RTSP protocols.
1.2 Features
16 QAM/ATSC/FTA DVB-S/S2 inputs (model dependent), 2 ASI inputs
BISS descrambling
Diseqc functionality
16 MPTS or 512 SPTS output (MPTS and SPTS output)
2 GE mirrored outputs, up to 850Mbps---SPTS
2 independent GE output port, GE1 + GE2---MPTS
PCR adjusting (Only for SPTS output)
PID filtering, re-mapping (Only SPTS output)
PSI/SI rebuilding and editing (Only SPTS output)
“Null PKT Filter” function (For MPTS output)
Support Web operation

Chapter 2 - Installation Guide
This section is here to explain the cautions you should adhere to so you don’t hurt yourself or
anyone else. That would not be good for anyone; so read through before operating your new
Thor Broadcast equipment.
2.1 General Precautions
Must be operated and maintained in an area free of dust and debris.
The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the chassis when thepower is on.
This will also void Thor’s manufacturer’s warranty.
After installation, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.
2.2 Power precautions
Be careful when connecting a power source to the device.
Do not operate in wet or damp areas. Make sure the extension cable is in good condition
Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

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 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 3 –WEB NMS
4.1 Setup the NMS
The default IP of this device is 192.168.0.136. We can modify the IP through the front panel.
Connect the pc and the device with net cable, and use ping command to confirm they are on the same
network segment.
E.G. 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).
Use any web browser to connect the device with the 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”tostart the device setting.
4.2 NMS Operation
4.2.1 Login Interface
Once you set the units address and enter that IP into your browser this Login window appears
Both the default user name and password are admin.
