CHAPTER 2 Safety Instruction and Installations Safety Instructions WARNING: Hot plug is not allowed since it may cause system halted. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture. The encoder modulator is powered with a voltage of 12V DC. The power supply voltage must not exceed the recommended voltage, which otherwise may cause irreparable damage to the device and the invalidation of the warranty.
Connect the power plug to the mains socket. Cascade Installation FUTV4658 unit has 1 TV signal to RF output encoded as DVB-T Digital TV signal. Several FUTV4658 units can be cascaded in order to increase the capacity. The maximum capacity of a series of N units is 1xN incorporated TV signals.
Chapter 3 Operations of TS Creator Software FUTV4658 encoder modulator has a function to create TS videos with the software supplied with the product. Users can create *.ts files containing images, videos and audios in a simple and intuitive way, and play them on a television through FUTV4658’s USB port.

Users can filter the null packet to boost the video’s effect bit rate. A single video can be maximum 2.0 GB in size. (FUTV4658 cannot play a video bigger than 2GB.) After setting all the parameters, click to start the transformation. Click “OK” when it prompts “The operation completed normally.”...
Two files will be generated if the Null Packet has been filtered. TS video for preview through the “Creator” interface by clicking “Play” button TS video: Users need to save it in the USB memory, and then FUTV4658 can read it and play the video. Remarks: l All the file names are automatically generated.
CHAPTER 4 Devices Operations and Management FUTV4658 is controlled and managed through the key board and LCD display. LCD Display – It presents the selected menu and the parameter settings. The backlight in the display is on when the power is applied.
