Chapter 1 – Introduction

Product Overview
This encoder modulator is an all-in-one device integrating MPEG2 encoding and modulating to convert audio/video signals into DVB-CfT/ATSC/J.838/ISDB-T RF out. It supports 8 HDMI inputs. and its pay-as-you-grow modular design (maximum support 8 HDMI inputs) and flexible configuration make it extremely scalable, very reliable with high performance.
The signal source could vary from satellite receivers. closed-circuit television cameras. Blu-ray players. and antenna (off air). Its output signals are to be received by TVs. STB, etc. with the correlated standard the unit is set to encode with (ATSC/J.838/DVB-T/ DVB-C/ISDB-T).
These units are widely used everywhere such as the mall. market hall. theatre. hotels. restaurants. stadiums. race tracks. amphitheatres and etc. for advertising. monitoring, training, and educating in companies, and schools. campuses. and healthcare.

Chapter 3 – WEB NMS Operation

For setting configurations you can use the front panel; also you are able to control and set the configurations on any computer by connecting the device to the web NMS Port. You should ensure that the computer’s IP address is different from the Modulator IP address; otherwise, it would cause an IP conflict.

Login
The default IP of this device is 192.168.0.188. 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 192.168.0.190, we then change the device IP to 192.168.0.xxx (xxx can be l to 254 except 190 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” to start the device setting. Both fields of Username and Password are case sensitive.
