The TVU Transceiver is the companion decoder for all TVU transmitters and helps
broadcasters monitor all aspects of a live transmission, including bit-rate and latency. The
TR3700 model is slightly different from other TVU Transceivers because it allows for two
TVU transmitters to be live simultaneously on one transceiver with two independent SDI
outputs and two separate TVU Receiver applications. Because of this function, the TR3700
requires some additional set-up.
Normally, users would only attach one SDI cable to the one SDI output on the transceiver
unit (A)(Figure 67). However, this unit has a second SDI output (B) on the back
connections panel as seen in Figure 67. In order to access the second SDI output, simply
plug an additional SDI cable into that outer connection.

When TVU Support configures your TR3700, two receiver applications will be installed on
the desktop in order for the user to access the user interface for both outputs (Figure 68).
Figure 68
The TVU receiver GUI 1 will display the output plugged into the middle connection on the
transceiver (A)(Figure 67). The TVU receiver GUI 2 will display the output plugged into the
outer SDI output connection on the transceiver (B)(Figure 67). Both GUIs can be open at
the same time in order to monitor and control the transmission of both TVU transmitters
simultaneously (Figure 69).
