Overview
8 in 1 full-function professional HD Audio Video Encoder newly developed by Hongtushixun with
multiplexer function. It comes with 8 HDMI Video or 8HD-SDI inputs(optional); Video supports
MPEG-2 and H.264 Encoding format with higher encoding compression efficiency and excellent
video quality; Audio supports MPEG-1 Audio Layer2LC-AAC, HE-AAC encoding format. In
additional to the encoding function to 8 HDMI Audio Video signals, at the same time 1ASI input
and 1IP input(optional, IP output is included) are available to MPTS output together with existed
TS stream from encoding after they are multiplexed. It comes with 1group ASI multiplexing
output(2 routes) and 1IP output port(optional, IP input is including), IP output supports 16 routes
SPTS or 1MPTS output. IP and ASI stream output(consistent or inconsistent) is independent.
You can choose H.264 encoding or MPEG-2 encoding for different input. In the H.264 encoding
mode, each input can simultaneously output two streams with different resolution for different
network requirements.
Its higher integration and versatile design can effectively reduce cost of digital TV system. It can
be widely used in different digital TV head-end system, Digital Terrestrial and IPTV digital TV
systems.

They must be sealed with dust proof ruber strip. And the windows should
be installed with double glass and sealed strictly.
Wall paper can be pasted, and flat paint can be used, but powdered paint
isnt applicable.
Machine room should be equipped with fire alarm system and extinguisher.
It requires three sets of separate power supply system: device power, airconditioner power and lighting power, device power provided by AC power.

2.2.3 Grounding System design Requirements

Each function modules good grounding design will guarantee reliable and stable operation of the
device, also guarantee against lighting, anti-interference. Therefore, the system grounding must
follow this rule.
Outer conductor of coaxial cable and both ends of shielding layer should keep good electrical
contact with surface of the metal chassis of connected devices
Grounding conductor must use copper conductor to reduce the high frequency impedance,
grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible
Both ends of the ground wire connection point should confirm the electrical contact is good,
and should be done anti corrosive processing.
Prohibit using the other equipment as the part of the ground wires electrical connection.
Conductor cross-sectional area between Cabinet and grounding wire of lightning protection
2
should be equal or greater than 25mm .
2.2.4 Cabinet Grounding
Grounding terminal of each cabinet in same room should be separately connected to protected
copper platoon, the grounding wire should be as short as possible, if the wiring is too long when
the project installed, should be cut off to avoid grounding wire circling, conductor cross-sectional
2
area between Ground terminal and ground platoon should be equal or greater than 25mm
2.2.5 Device Grounding
Connect protective grounding terminal to protective grounding wire of assembly cabinet with wire.

The power wire connection

Power jack located in left side of the rear panel, next to the power socket, is the power switch,
under the left of the power socket is the connective screw of protective grounding wire.
Connect the power wire
Insert one end of the power wire into AC power socket, and another end connected to AC power.
Connect the grounding wire
When the device connects separately to protective ground, it should adopt independent
grounding way, that is, grounded together with other devices(such as transmission equipment),
Grounding resistance of Joint Ground is less than 1.
CautionBefore connecting the power wire, encoder power switch must be placed in OFF
position, and required grounded together with the power supply system.

.4

Input, output signal wire connection

Signal wire connection include connection of output and input signal wire, signal wire of input
HDMI high-definition connected with HDMI high-definition interface of encoder, the other end
connect with the output interface of the front-end source equipment. The encoder has 1GE
port(IP signal input/output network port), it can connected to the device of transmission network
with network wire.

.5

Connecting the encoder communications network management port

Encoder parameters are set by the network interface device operation. Therefore encoder device
must be connected via 100M Ethernet switch with the computer.

The Musts of Safety

1.Please read this introduction carefully before use the equipment.
2.Note: when install the equipment, remember to correctly connect the protective grounding
cable first. After connect other signal cables, power off the equipment, then plug the outlet cable.
3.Note In order to ensure the equipment running stably, Do cut off the power before any
change of cable connection on the ports of back panel.
4.Make sure the working environment is under temperature 0-45C and other required
conditions. Keep the back panel ventilated. Make sure all the connections are correct of the
relative ports.
5.When initial use, make sure the A/V source is connected normally.
6.Do not open the lid to avoid electrical shock or damage of the unit.
7.Do not turn on and off the equipment too often, the time interval between on and off should be
at least 20 seconds.
8.If the equipment would not be in use for long time, please unplug the power cord. Do not use
damaged power in case of fire or electric shock.
9.Do not touch the power line with wet hands. When any liquid flows into the chassis, cut power
off IMMEDIATELY.
10.Put the equipment in a horizontal place. Do not stack heavy objects on the equipment to
prevent damage.
11.Settle the equipment in ventilated environment and suitable temperature. Keep the equipment
away from the fierce light, moisture and severe vibration.
12.If the working environment has sharp temperature difference as previous, please keep the
equipment off for one or two hours before power on again.
13.Between the machine power switch and power socket with fuse holder, When the machine
power overload or short circuit, the fuse tube disconnected, exchangeable with Specifications of
the new fuse tube. Remove the fuse tube block method: unplug the power plug with a
screwdriver inserted into the fuse holder gaps can skip the fuse tube block. New machine fuse
header contains two fuse tube, one of which is as a backup, damaged the fuse tube can be
removed, change another backup fuse tube, then the fuse tube to insert the original location.
