CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
TL-9542A series products are TRANSLITE’s new breakthrough all-in-one devices which
integrate encoding (MPEG-2 HD, MPEG-4/AVC H.264) and modulating (DVB-C, DVB-T, ISDB-
T, or ATSC) to convert V/A signals into RF output. It is equipped with 4 HDMI channels input
and 1 ASI input and output with 2 ASI ports and 1 UDP IP port.
It adopts inner drawer-type structural design which greatly facilitates the change of encoding
modules (HDMI/CVBS/SDI/YPbPr/…) as needed.
The signals source could be from satellite receivers, closed-circuit television cameras, Blue-ray
players, and antenna etc. Its output signals are to be received by TVs, STB, etc. with
corresponding standard.
With its various inputs available, our TL-9542A series products are wildly used in public places
such as metro, market hall, theatre, hotels, resorts, etc. for advertising, monitoring, training and
educating in companies, schools, campuses, hospital. It’s a good choice to offer HD channels
and more.

Typical Application of 4 * ATSC Carrier Outputs
Firstly, it is to guarantee the sound picture quality of HD programs.
As we all know, to guarantee the picture quality of 1920x1080@50I/60I resolution HD program,
the video bit-rate may reach up to 11Mbps and even above. However, the maximum
possible bit-rate output for single ATSC-T carrier is only around 19 Mbps.
11Mbps x 4 = 44Mbps > 19 x 2 Mbps.
It means the single or even dual ATSC-T carriers simply can't carry the 4 channels 1080i HD
program if the average bit-rate exceeds 8Mbps.
That's why we design 4*ATSC-T carrier modulation board which broaden the maximum possible
bit-rate bandwidth up to 76Mbps (19*4), which rightly makes it reliably carry 4 channel HD
programs output simultaneously.
Below brief chart will help to illustrate the working principle more clearly.
