4. Instruccions de configuració

4.1 Diagrama de connexió

This diagram illustrates how to connect various signal sources and output devices to the converter:

• Fonts d'entrada: Connect your DVB-S2 STB, DVB-T/T2/C sources, DVD players, or video recorders to the respective input ports. Satellite dishes connect to the DVB-S2 RF Input.
• Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the provided AC power cable to the 'AC100-240V' input on the rear panel and plug it into a suitable power outlet.
• Connexió de xarxa: For IP input/output and network management, connect an Ethernet cable to the 'NMS 100M' or 'IP TS OUT 1000M' ports.
• Sortida HDMI: Connect an HDMI cable from the 'HDMI OUTPUT' port to a monitor or TV for local configuration and monitoring.
• Sortida RF: For DVB-T/ISDB-T distribution, connect the 'RF OUT' port to a transmitter or distribution ampmés viu.

4.2 Engegada inicial

1. Ensure all necessary input and output cables are securely connected.
2. Connect the power cable and flip the 'ON/OFF' switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position.
3. Observe the 'POWER' indicator on the front panel. It should illuminate.
4. Allow the device a few moments to boot up. The 'SYSTEM' indicator may flash during startup and then become steady.
5. Access the device's configuration interface via the HDMI output or network management system (NMS) to configure input sources, output parameters, and other settings.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Diagrama de blocs funcionals

The converter processes signals through the following stages:

1. Entrada: Signals from DVB (S/S2/T/T2/C), HTTP, UDP (MPTS), or USB Disk are received.
2. Demodulació: DVB signals are demodulated.
3. Multiplexing (MUX): All input streams are multiplexed into a single transport stream.
4. Sortida: The multiplexed stream is then output as HTTP (SPTS), UDP (MPTS), or modulated into DVB-T for RF distribution.

5.2 Funcionament bàsic

Once the device is powered on and configured, its primary function is to continuously convert and distribute digital TV signals according to the settings. Users typically interact with the device through its web-based Network Management System (NMS) or via the local HDMI interface for detailed configuration.

• Selecció d'entrada: Configure which of the 8 tuner inputs are active and the type of signal they are receiving (DVB-S/S2, DVB-T/T2, DVB-C, ISDB-T).
• Mapatge de canals: Map input channels to desired output channels or IP streams.
• Configuració de sortida: Set parameters for RF output (e.g., DVB-T frequency, bandwidth, constellation) or IP output (e.g., HTTP/UDP addresses, port numbers).
• Seguiment: Use the HDMI output to monitor the input and output signals, or check the front panel indicators for signal reception and system status.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Periodically check for and apply firmware updates via the USB port or OTA to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
