2 encoder modules and can be ordered with optional QAM modulation for distribution applications. It inherits Adtec’s broadcast quality compression, advanced feature set, service performance and reliability in the new dense two-channel platform targeted towards broadcasters, cable and IP compression applications.
Chapter 2 - Getting Started Front Panel The Function Buttons and Directional Keypad of the EN-20 are used to configure and monitor the signal input and output of the device. Panel Diagram Front Panel LCD There are 3 states of the front panel LCD. 1) E ncoding State: When in normal encoding mode, the LCD will display the following information.
Page 9
3) D isabled Product State: When the product is in a disabled state, the LCD will relay the following information. This state is generally only used when a factory restore is performed. If that is the case, note that all of the configurations have been returned to factory defaults including Network configurations.
QAM Status Indicator LEDs Indicator Function A/B/C A = 8 MHz B = 6 MHz Default for Annex B, can be selected for Annex A not currently used Optional for Annex B or Annex A System/Function Status Indicator LEDs Indicator Function Power Green - Power is on.

When prompted for a username, enter adtec. When prompted for a password, enter none. Once you see "User 'adtec' connected", the session is open and you may issue API commands to the unit. For the EN-20 device, there are specific commands for the modulator, encoder, and the unit's operating system.
Page 31
FTP is only useful for collecting logs from the device. How to Use API Commands The Adtec EN-20 device is unique in that it handles two physical encoders. To accomodate commands for controlling both encoders, you will need to specify which encoder you are working with for each command you issue.

Understanding TMR TMR is Configured automatically if optional QAM modulator is Installed. If the EN-20 is sold with an optional integrated QAM modulator. TMR is affected differently when the modulator is installed. Below the differences are outlined. When the QAM modulator is installed and configured for Annex A or Annex B encoding the TMR (Transport Stream Mux Rate) is controlled by the modulator’s clock.

Vertical Interval Time Code Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) is typically used in transmissions that require time code from the originating source to be preserved. It was originally developed for analog television recording systems, but has new standards for transmitting in digital systems (SMPTE-12M-1 / SMPTE-12M-2).
