Page 5: Introduction
System requires one RU of rack space. Ventilation fans are rear mounted. The front and rear areas of the NTSC-8 should be kept clear to ensure good airflow. Included in the box is the NTSC-8 unit and power supply. -
Page 6: Power Supply
Power Supply An external AC adaptor is included with the NTSC-8. The power adapter has a locking connector that clicks when properly seated as shown below in Figure 2. Figure 2 - Power Supply w w w . t e c h n i c o l o r . c o m / m c s... -
Page 7: Physical Connections
Physical Connections Figure 3 below details the connection of two NTSC-8 units connected to a COM2000 system. If more than one unit is to be connected, a gigabit Ethernet switch (not included) is required between a chassis GbE port and the NTSC-8s. -
Page 8: Figure 4 - Power Supply Connections
Connect the Power Cord Carefully insert the power cord into the Power port on the NTSC-8 as shown in Figure 4. When properly seated in the power port the plug will snap into place with an audible click. To remove, firmly pull back on the cover and remove the plug from the power port. -
Page 9: Com46 Software Requirements And Setup
5.2 COM46 Setup Each COM46 card will stream eight channels to the NTSC-8. You will need to enter the IP address of the first NTSC-8 modulator in the COM46 advanced edit page as shown below in Figure 6. By default, the NTSC-8 IP addresses are set to 192.168.5.1 / 8. -
Page 10: Ntsc-8 Setup
To access the NTSC user interface click on the NTSC tab as shown below in Figure 7 and Figure 8. Note the box to the right of each field in the Control section. Checking this box will apply that setting to all modulators in the NTSC-8. Figure 7 - COM46 Main Interface Page... -
Page 11: Setting Up Multiple Chassis
For software upgrade enter the software filename uploaded to the COM46 6.1 Setting up Multiple Chassis Each channel or modulator within a NTSC-8 is assigned an IP address as shown below in Figure 9 . By default modulator one in chassis zero is 192.168.5.1. -
Page 12: Figure 10 - Enter Alternate Ip Address
New Alternate IPs Figure 11 - altIp Label the NTSC-8 with the new IP address and repeat this procedure for each chassis. These settings are stored in non-volatile memory and is retained by the unit after powering off. w w w . t e c h n i c o l o r . c o m / m c s... -
Page 13: Figure 12 - Chassis Dipswitch
Option Two: Dipswitch Settings Each NTSC-8 chassis can be set up using the internal dipswitches on the main board as shown below in Figure 12. To access the dipswitches, remove the top cover of the chassis. A #10 hex driver is required to remove the 11 chassis screws. Set the chassis number using the table in Figure Figure 12 –... -
Page 14: Setting The Modulator Output Channels
Set the RF output channel for the modulators using the channel field in the Control section. To set all channels in the NTSC-8 to contiguous channels you can enter the first channel in the field and check the box to the right as shown in Figure 14. In the example below, we will set channel outputs for as 2-9. -
Page 15: Figure 16 - Changing Output Channel By Modulator
Change channels on individual modulators by entering the IP address of the modulator in the NTSC-8 Modulator field as shown in Figure 16 below. In this example, we will change the output channel of modulator 6 (slot 5) to channel 14, modulator 7 to 15 and modulator 8 to 16. -
Page 16: Using Internal Attenuation
Attenuation may be set in all, or individual modulators to adjust the output power as necessary. The default attenuation is set to 0. Maximum attenuation is 10dB. To set attenuation for all modulators in a NTSC-8 enter the IP address of the first modulator in the NTSC-8 Modulator field and click Submit. -
Page 17: Figure 19 Changing Attenuation On A Single Modulator
To change the attenuation level on a single modulator enter the IP address of the modulator in the NTSC-8 Modulator field and click Submit. Enter the attenuation value in the attenuation field (do not check the box) and click submit. In this example, we changed the attenuation value of modulator two (slot1) to 8 dB. -

As shown in Figure 21 the bytesRecieved column will continually grow as the COM46 streams to the NTSC-8. The display is static so you will need to refresh the screen to see the value change. Refresh the screen by clicking on the Submit button in the NTSC8 Modulator section. Each time the screen refreshes you will see the bytesRecieved column change. -
Page 20: Software Upgrade
Software Upgrade If the NTSC-8 requires a software upgrade, the COM46 TFTP feature will facilitate the process. Upload the software to the COM46 Pairing Info page as described in the COM46 Integrators Manual. Copy the file name from the COM46 Software upgrade page as shown below in Figure 22. -
Page 21: Status Lights
The status lights will flash yellow during software load and red/green during software upgrade. Do not power off NTSC-8 during this process. Lights will resume to solid green when complete. New software version is displayed in the swVersion column of the NTSC-8 status table as shown below in Figure 24.
