1. Mounting and Safety instructions Attention The rated voltage on the device must be corresponding with the mains voltage. The instructions for operating the device must be observed. Grounding and potential equalization Please establish grounding and perform potential equalization before initial startup. Connection cable Always install the connection cables with a loop so that no condensed water can penetrate along the cable.

Attention This module contains ESD components! (ESD = Electrostatic Sensitive Device). An electrostatic discharge is an electrical current pulse, which can flow also through an electrically insulated material, when triggered by a large voltage difference. To ensure the reliability of ESD components, it is necessary to consider their most important handling rules: »...
2. Description The IP Modulator HDI 2 multi enables the reception of IP signals from streamers, security cameras or other IP sources and their conversion into a maximum of 2 adjacent digital output channels in the formats DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-C Annex B or ISDB-T. The device supports the reception of SPTS or MPTS signals. Functions such as Service filtering (for MPTS signals), SI processing, NIT and LCN complete the range of functions.
The address of the network connection at the PC must be adapted to the IP address of the HDI modulator (Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, IP address: 192.168.001.xxx). xxx must not match the IP address of the HDI 2 multi. Also not...
After log-in, the device homepage will display the main information about the device and its status. File tabs for programming the HDI 2 multi are available at the top of the window. In the device description “Device information“, the most important information about the device will be displayed.
indicates the CPU load, which depends mainly on the input and output bit rate. To ensure an error-free operation, make sure that 90% processor load will not exceeded. “Supply voltage“ value should correspond to the specified range of + 12 V ±1 V . 6.3 Menu item “TS input“...

Streams that are already in the list are marked and deactivated so as not to replicate them. By selecting the check box “Add“, streams which should be added to the list can be selected. After pressing the button “Insert selected“, the selection will be sent to the stream list.
By clicking on the plus sign “+“ on the left side in front of the stream, the table with the PIDs of the transport stream will be expanded. These can be edited here. If all fields have been completed correctly, press the button “Update“ and the data will be sent to the HDI 2 multi. 6.5 Menu item “NIT“...
“Private data specifier“ refers to the LCN provider. A zero value in this field means that no private data descriptor is inserted. Some example values for this field are listed in the table below. For a list of all values see https://www.dvbservices.com/identifiers/private_data_spec_id Values for Private data specifier: Region...

“Symbol rate“ The symbol rate must be set the same for both output channels and are set via “Output 1”. Selection: 1 - 7.2 MSps “Step“ In this column, the bandwidth of the channel may be set. This is determined via “Output 1“ for both output channels. Selection: 6 MHz, 7 MHz, 8 MHz, 8.3 MHz “Frequency, kHz“...

“Cell ID“ The cell ID is independently programmable for each RF channel. It creates a location reference and is sent to the service information. “Frequency, kHz“ The output frequency for “Output 1“ may be set in this column. The output frequency for “Output 2“ will be automatically programmed as the adjacent channel above “Output 1“...

“Enable“ By selecting the check box the output channel will be activated. Selection: = Output activated = Output deactivated If all fields have been completed correctly, press the button “Update“ and the data will be sent to the device. ISDB-T RF parameters In this menu, the ISDB-T RF parameters of the output channels will be set.
6.7 Menu item “IP parameters“ In the menu item “IP parameters“, the IP address data of the Ethernet interface for the modulator may be set. The settings of the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS (Domain Name System) must be adapted to the local network.
Each record has an event type that can be used to filter specific messages. These will be activated in the check boxes in the block “Logs filtering“. Messages will be filtered automatically. With the button “Erase logs“, the event logs can be deleted from the system. The “Download“ button can be used to create a file from the event log („logs.json“) and to be used as a supplement to the error description if support is requested.
6.8.5 Menu item “Import of parameters“ Exported parameters from one HDI 2 multi can be imported into another HDI 2 multi or the same device. To do this, select the menu item “Import of parameters“. The following window will be opened to select a file to import.
After pressing the button “Click to select file”, the folder structure will be opened and the parameter file “xxx.json“ can be selected after pressing the button “Open” (Öffnen). The web interface checks the content immediately after the file selection and does not allow invalid content to be imported. If the validation was successful, the device type and description are displayed on the screen from which the file was exported.
After selection of menu item “Firmware upgrade“, the web browser searches for the latest software version. The screen displays a table listing the latest firmware versions. By pressing the “Download“ icon, the firmware from the server will be downloaded to the computer. Note “Current software version“ will be displayed if the device already has the current firmware.
The language selection will be stored in the browser’s cookies, so that different browsers or PCs can have different language choices. By pressing “Ok“, the language setting will be accepted. After selecting the language, the browser will be updated with the selected language. There is no restart of the device necessary. All event logs will also be switched to the selected language.
