Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Product Overview All-in-one devices which integrate encoding (MPEG-2 HD, MPEG-4/AVC H.264) and modulation (DVB-C, DVB-T, ISDB-T, or ATSC) to convert V/A signals into RF output. It has equipped with 4 HDMI channels input and 1 ASI input and output with 2 ASI ports and 1 UDP IP port. It adopts inner drawer-type structural design which greatly facilitates the change of encoding modules (HDMI/CVBS/SDI/YPbPr/…) as needed.

program, the video bit-rate may exceed 10Mbps, even up to 15Mbps. However, the maximum possible bit-rate output for single DVB-T carrier is only around 30Mbps. 15Mbps x4 =60Mbps > 30Mbps. It means the single DVB-T carrier simply can't carry the 4 channels 1080i HD programs if the average bit-rate reaches 15Mbps.

MPEG2 Video Format Video Bit Rate H.264 Video Bit Rate 14.000 Mbps MPEG2 Audio Format Audio Bit Rate 64 Kbps 96 Kbps “Video Format”: the HDMI MPEG2 HD encoding module supports both MPEG2 and H.264 formats. Move the triangle mark with LEFT/RIGHT keys to specify the intended format and press ENTER to confirm. “Video Bit Rate”: Move the underline with LEFT/RIGHT keys and modify the value of frequency with UP/DOWN keys, and press ENTER key to save the settings.
“Parse Program” is for checking the quantity of input programs from the corresponding Tuner input. “Select Program A (or B)” is for selecting programs from the ASI IN to output through Carrier A (or B). Move the triangle mark to specify the program and press RIGHT/LEFT keys to shift the mark between “√” and “X”.
Constellation There are three different constellations QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM shown on the LCD window. When entering Constellation, user can apply the same setting method as mentioned above to select and confirm one mode. Constellation QPSK 16QAM 64QAM Transmission Mode When user enters Transmission Mode, the LCD would show the current working mode. User can move LEFT/RIGHT keys to select and press ENTER key to confirm.
LCD display would show them, users just need press LEFT and RIGHT buttons to choose and press ENTER button to confirm. Code Rate 1/2 2/3 3/4 5/6 RF Frequency The RF output frequency range is from 30 to 960MHz with 1K stepping. After entering the RF frequency setting submenu, users the can press LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN buttons to adjust the frequency and confirm by press ENTER button. RF Frequency 750.000 MHz RF Out Level The RF attenuation range is -30~-10dbm (81~97dbµV) with 0.1db step.
Output A: the ASI output programs are same as carrier output A. Output B: the ASI output programs are same as carrier output B. ASI Output Output A 4) Output B IP Output Setting The NDS3542A encoder & modulator is with two dual-carrier output (Output A and Output B), 4.1 and 4.2 are for the settings of the two carrier output respectively.
