FCC/CE Compliance
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regulation of
Electronic News Gathering (ENG) Mobile Systems
The FCC provides specic policies and procedures related to
radio frequency (RF) emissions in mobile and portable devices.
The FCC outlines test requirements and specic test procedures
based on the type of device. These test requirements and proce-
dures can also cover Specic Absorption Rates (SAR) for RF.
TVU transmitter devices have always conformed to all appli-
cable FCC regulations covering mobile systems for electronic
news gathering. All required tests for TVU transmitter devices
as outlined in the regulations were performed by a third-party
testing lab, which issued a certicate of compliance for TVU
transmitters. The certicate is applicable to both the FCC and
CE. Additionally, the data modems used in TVU transmitters are
commercially available o-the-shelf brands and have been FCC
and carrier certied.

Supporting documentation demonstrating TVU transmitters’
compliance with the applicable FCC regulations is available
upon request. Contact TVU Networks at +1.650.440.4812 for
assistance and questions regarding approved modem cards for
use with TVU transmitters.

1 Introduction, setup, and base operation
This User Guide provides a product overview, setup, and base operation information for the TVU One transmitter.
Product overview
TVU One represents a tremendous leap forward in professional
live video streaming solutions. TVU One delivers high-denition
picture quality with 0.5 second latency at 3 Mbps within an ultra
compact and rugged hardware design. It uses HEVC or H.265
compression standard to deliver greater eciency in data use
as well as increased transmission stability. With TVU One, broad-
casters of live video can fully leverage the versatility of a small,
lightweight, IP-based high-denition video eld transmitter
without sacricing performance, features or picture quality.
Contents and features
TVU One has a robust set of features and functions designed to
t the needs of any live broadcaster. The TVU One runs on the
TVU platform and includes the following features:
• Simple Worry-Free Operation – TVU pioneered one button
operation in portable live video streaming transmitters,
and TVU One carries on that tradition. TVU One requires no
in-eld conguration, and boots up in less than 20 seconds
with just the push of a button.
• Small Form Factor, Big Features – Despite its small
size, TVU One is feature-rich with no compromises to
performance or capabilities. To see a full list of hardware
and software specications for TVU One, refer to “Product
Specications” .
• Inverse StatMux Plus – TVU One features proprietary video
transmission technology called Inverse StatMux Plus (IS+).
With IS+, unsurpassed HD picture quality is dependably
delivered at sub-second latency over cellular 3G/4G/LTE
modems even when transmitting in a moving vehicle
traveling at over 60 mph/100 kph.
• Powerful Real-Time Store and Forward – TVU One can
simultaneously live stream and record. TVU One can record
up to 7 hours of full HD footage, depending upon the
selected conguration. Additionally, TVU has HD le transfer
functionality that ensures the delivery of a HD quality error-
free video clip to the studio in real-time without needing to
wait until the clip is fully recorded on the transmitter.

Use onlyTVU Networks supplied or authorized batteries and
chargers
This device is designed to be used only with TVU Networks
supplied batteries. Use only TVU Networks supplied devices and
chargers to charge the supplied batteries. To see a list of quali-
ed external batteries to use with this device, please contact
TVU Networks. Use of non-qualied batteries with this system
may cause damage to the unit or possibly re.
FAA regulations
FAA Regulations require rechargeable and non-rechargeable
lithium batteries, cell phone batteries, laptop batteries, external
batteries, portable rechargers, spare (uninstalled) lithium ion
and lithium metal batteries must be carried in carry-on baggage
only.
When a carry-on bag is checked at the gate or at plane side, all
spare lithium batteries must be removed from the bag and kept
with the passenger in the aircraft cabin. The battery terminals
must be protected from short circuit.
This includes spare lithium metal and spare rechargeable
lithium ion batteries for personal electronics such as cameras,
cell phones, laptop computers, tablets, watches, calculators, etc.
This also includes external battery chargers (portable recharg-
ers) containing a lithium ion battery. For lithium batteries that
are installed in a device (laptop, cell phone, camera, etc.), see
the entry for “portable electronic devices, containing batteries”
in this chart.
Size limits
Lithium metal (non-rechargeable) batteries are limited to 2
grams of lithium per battery. Lithium ion (rechargeable) bat-
teries are limited to a rating of 100 watt hours (wh) per battery.
These limits allow for nearly all types of lithium batteries used by
the average person in their electronic devices. With airline ap-
proval, passengers may also carry up to two spare larger lithium
ion batteries (101-160 watt hours). This size covers the larger
after-market extended-life laptop computer batteries and some
larger batteries used in professional audio/visual equipment.
Quantity limits
None for most batteries – but batteries must be for use by
the passenger. Batteries carried for further sale or distribution
(vendor samples, etc.) are prohibited. There is a limit of two
spare batteries per person for the larger lithium ion batteries
described above (101-160 watt hours per battery).
Batteries must be protected from damage. Battery terminals
(usually the ends) must be protected from short circuit (i.e., the
terminals must not meet other metal). Methods include: leaving
the batteries in their retail packaging, covering battery terminals
with tape, using a battery case, using a battery sleeve in a camera
bag, or putting them snugly in a plastic bag or protective pouch.
See the regulation: 49 CFR 175.10(a)(18)
Tip: Newer lithium ion batteries have the watt hour (wh) rating
marked on them. To calculate watt hours, multiply the battery
voltage by the amp hours (ah). To learn more about lithium bat-
teries, their restrictions, and how to tell what size they are, go to
http://SafeTravel.dot.gov.
Refer to the link below for International Air Transport Associa-
tion (IATA) regulations and information regarding airline travel
with lithium batteries:
http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Documents/Lithi-
umBattery_PassengerFlyer.jpg
Additional airline travel information
When traveling, the TVU One transmitter’s onboard battery
should be removed from the unit to prevent accidental power
on. The onboard battery terminals should be protected to
prevent accidental short circuit. Protect the onboard battery ter-
minals by placing them in a plastic bag or covering the battery
terminals with electrical tape.
TVU onboard batteries should always be transported as carry-on
baggage. It should never be transported in the cargo hold.
TVU One transmitter components
The TVU One transmitter is comprised of the encoder, internal
battery, and embedded modems. Weighing just 2.2 lbs./1 kg, the

Charging the internal battery
To charge the internal battery without removing it from the
transmitter, simply connect the provided AC power adapter
to the DC input on the unit and plug in the other end of the
adapter into an electrical outlet. The battery will then begin to
charge. Please note that the battery will charge signicantly
faster (approximately 3 hrs.) when the transmitter is turned o.
Inserting SIM cards
The transmitter SIM card slots are designed to hold up to 6-Mini
SIM (2FF) cards in six embedded modems. Take the following
steps to insert a SIM card into the embedded modem slots on
