Basic programming using buttons
There are two menus for the settings of the modulator.

• Quick menu: It allows a fast set up of the modulator
• Advanced menu: It allows to perform advanced settings. Press

Quick menu

It allows us to select the type of output modulation. DVB-T (DTT1) or DVB-C (Cable TV). “ONLY AVAILABLE IN COMPATIBLE MODELS”. We select the channel with which the modulated signal comes out from 5 to 12 and from 21 to 69 (for example, configured with the country Spain). We can regulate the level of attenuation of the modulated signal from 0 to 15dB. We select the country we want for channel frequencies. Modify the TS ID. It must be modified if you have 2 modulators to differentiate them in the installation. Change the language for the display. Option to return to your factory settings.

Advanced menu

YES (access the following submenus) NO (we do not access the menus).

Set frequency in KHz. Allows you to modify the frequency of the selected channel. Modifies the bandwidth of channel 6. 7 or 8MHz. We can select different modes of constellation QPSK, QAM16 or QAM64. We select different FEC 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8. We can select different guard intervals 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32. We can select 2K or 8K mode. YES (we go out to the main menu).

“ONLY AVAILABLE IN COMPATIBLE MODELS”. YES (access the following submenus) NO (we do not access the menus).

Set frequency in KHz. Allows you to modify the frequency of the selected channel. Modifies the bandwidth of channel 6. 7 or 8MHz. We can select different modes of constellation, QAM16, QAM 32, QAM64, QAM 128, QAM 256. We can define the symbol rate with which we want to work. YES (we go out to the main menu).

YES (access the following submenus) NO (we do not access the menus).

Modify the network ID. Modify the original NET ID. “Logic Channel Number” is used to automatically sort all channels by TV set, reordering them at the same time as we search. NORDIC, EACEM, ITC modes, Change the network name. YES (we go out to the main menu).

YES (access the following submenus) NO (we do not access the menus).

Input channel identifier A. Note that PROGRAM IDs within the same installation must be different. Program name of entry A. Logical Channel Number is used to set a specific order when an automatic sort of all channels in TV sets is required.
Modify video rates. Modify audio rates. Modifies different compression values. AAC-LC, MPEG1-L2, AAC-LC. Modify PMT PID. Modify VIEDO PID. Modify the AUDIO PID. YES (we go out to the main menu).

YES (access the following submenus) NO (we do not access the menus).

Input channel identifier B. Note that THE PROGRAM IDs within the same modulator must be different. Input program name B. Logical Channel Number is used to set a specific order when an automatic sort of all channels in TV sets is required.
Modify video rates. Modify audio rates. Modifies different compression values. AAC-LC, MPEG1-L2, AAC-LC. Modify PMT PID. Modify VIEDO PID. Modify the AUDIO PID. YES (we go out to the main menu).

Advanced programming using MD HD Soft

Configurable parameters and options.

•  For advanced programming, download the “MD HD Soft” Software from the website www.ek.plus.
•  Connect the modulator and computer using a USB cable (Type A/ Type B).

1.  RF Parameters.
2.  Video and TS parameters.
3.  This box can be used to adjust a horizontal shift on the input video. With some sources (rare cases), customers were facing a green part on the left of the picture. With this setting, the picture can be moved to the left to make this green bar disappear.
4.  Click the button on to write the EDID table in the modulator.
5.  Frequency of the remote controller that points to the TRC.
6.  The delay between audio and video of the output modulated signal. A delay of -999ms means that the video is almost 1s in front of the video.
7.  Current time and adjustment.
8.  Schedule by date, time and days of the week.
9.  Programming of scheduled events of recording and playing files to/from the USB memory stick.
10. . Name of the file that the modulator expects in the connected USB memory stick for playing or overwriting.
11.  Selection of the .ts file stored inside the connected USB memory stick
12.  Control with MDHDSoft of the stored files in the USB memory stick. PLAY, STOP or Record.
13.  Panel where uploaded videos will be displayed.

Creating a Playlist or Recordlist.
As the device can be connected to an external USB memory stick and keeps the time, events of recording and playing can be programmed:

1.  Select initial and final date and time
2.  Select the days of the week.
3.  Select the file to be played or write the name of the file to be recorded
4.  Press or depending on if  we want to play or record.
5.  In case of error, select the element and delete it .

Recording and playing by front buttons

The modulator allows recording and playing .ts files with the support of a USB memory stick. The selection of the files can be done both by using the front buttons or by “MD HD Soft” software. The use of the USB port is priority over the HDMI A input.The modulator allows recording and playing .ts files with the support of a USB memory stick. The selection of the files can be done both by using the front buttons or by “MD HD Soft” software. The use of the USB port is priority over the HDMI A input:

Recording and playing by front buttons
Connect a 3.0 USB memory stick and feed the module with the power adapter.

PLAY
Select the target file in the memory by using the advanced menu:

•  Select the target file in the memory by using the advanced menu“Autoplay001.ts”, it will be played automatically when connecting the USB.

•  In order to play a selection of files, name them with a numerical suffix. For example, “Autoplay001.ts”, “Autoplay002.ts”, “Autoplay003.ts”. When the playing of the selected file is ended, it will keep playing the following videos sorted by number. Once finished, will continue from the lowest suffix file,

• REC
  Insert the name of the file to be stored character by character:

• STOP PLAYING / RECORDING
  When using a .ts file stop it before using another file or using the HDMI A input.

USING THE USB MEMORY

•  The modulator allows recording and playing .TS files.
•  TS files must be stored on a USB 3.0 memory with FAT32 files system.
•  The “EK Converter” software can be found on the website https://ek.plus/software/. This converts the most common video and image formats to .TS format.
•  Use the MD HD Soft software to program play/record time slots.
•  The file “Video01.ts” hosted in the root of the memory will be played cyclically.
•  If there are other files “Autoplay001.ts”, and “Autoplay002.ts”… will be played consecutively.
• The recording and playing of files is priority over the HDMI input A. Make sure the TV is tuned over this program if want to view such files.
