Safety Warnings and Cautions
For your safety and the proper operation of the device:
● This unit must be installed and serviced by suitably qualified personnel only.
● Do not break the warranty seals on the device or open the lid. Only approved service
technicians are permitted to service this equipment.
● Disconnect all power before servicing the unit.
● Do not expose this device to rain or other moisture. Clean only with a dry cloth.
● If not installed in an equipment rack, install the product securely on a stable surface.
● Install the product in a protected location where no one can step or trip over the
supply cord, and where the supply cord will not be damaged.
● If a system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient
temperature.
● Consideration should be given to installing the unit in an environment compatible
with the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 50 degrees Celsius (122
degrees Fahrenheit).
● Install the unit in a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is
not compromised.
○ The recommended clearance on the top and sides of the unit is at least ½ “

Chapter 1 - Product Overview
Product Introduction
The EN30 is a two-channel High and Standard definition MPEG-2 or H.264 encoder
supporting ATSC and DVB tables through ASI and IP transport streams. The EN30 can be
ordered with optional satellite modulation for contribution and 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.
The device automatically detects video and audio from two sources (combination of
HD and SD acceptable), encodes, multiplexes and sends them back out as one combined TS
via IP, ASI or optional RF. VBI, CAS, and support for Emergency Alert (EAS) triggering are
standard.

Front Panel LCD Quick Views
There are 8 Quick Views that can be accessed by the front panel LCD by pressing
the up and down arrows.
1) Encoding State: When in normal encoding mode, the LCD will display the following
information. Since there can be up to 2 encoders in the product, you can view the status of
both services. *When only one encoder module is present the second module statistics will
not be displayed*
2) Services State: This quick view displays the Service ID number, short name, and long
name for both encoder modules.
3) Video Input State: This quick view displays the resolution, input signal source, and
input signal mode for both encoder modules.
4) Video Encoding State: This quick view displays the Video Bit Rate, CODEC, and Chroma
type for both encoder modules.
5) Audio Encoding State: This quick view displays the type of Audio Encoding and the bit
rate for both encoder modules. Service 1 statistics are the first line of information. Service
2 statistics are the second line of information.
6) PID Statistics: This quick view displays the Video and Audio PIDs for both encoder
modules. Service 1 PIDs are the first line of information. Service 2 PIDs are the second
line of information.
7) TSoIP State: This quick view displays the status of IP Transport mode, RTP, FEC mode,
and number of selected services. Up to 4 destination IP addresses can be sent
simultaneously.
8) ASI Remux State: This quick view displays the status of ASI Remux status if the
feature is enabled.
9) *Modulator State: This quick view displays the status of RF Tx status if the unit is
equipped with optional modulator.

Modulator Lineup
This feature enables the operator to quickly view and/or configure select modulator RF
output parameters. The parameters available in this menu are;
1. Carrier Mode: [ PURE_CARRIER or MODULATED]
2. Transmit: [ ENABLED or DISABLED]
3. Output Power: [ in 0.5dB increments ]
4. Output Frequency: [ in 1.0MHz increments ]
To access the menu, press the F1 and F2 keys simultaneously. The front panel will briefly

Note: To use this feature, the front panel display must be illuminated. If the display is
dim, press ANY front panel button to illuminate it.
Note: If the unit has been previously configured by the operator and powered OFF and ON,
then the display will read the last valid configuration, however, Tx will read DISABLED.
To select the desired Carrier Mode, press the front panel “SELECT” button.
To set Transmit to ENABLED or DISABLED, press the front panel “ENTER” button.
To set the desired output Power Level, press and hold the front panel ↑ or ↓ button.

Frequency Allows the operator to enter
the desired output
frequency of the main RF
output port.
Power Allows the operator to
configure the output power
of the main RF output port.
The monitor output power
level for the EN-XX IF and

Power is defined as the
composite power referenced
to an un-modulated (Pure

Spectrum
Inversion
The Spectrum Inversion
options are either Normal or
Invert. If Normal is selected,
then spectrum inversion
does not occur. Spectral
inversion can occur when
either the baseband signal
is up-converted to an IF
frequency or when the IF is
upconverted to the desired
RF output frequency.

Normal
FEC Frame When operating in DVB-S2,
the Frame Type options are
either Normal or Short. The
Normal 64,800-bit FEC
frame provides better
protection but introduces
more latency compared to
Short
Normal
the Short 16,200-bit FEC
frame. Therefore, the Short
FEC frame type should be
selected in applications
where latency is critical and
the longer frame type
should be used to optimize
protection.
Rolloff The Rolloff selection will
determine the shape of the
output filter. The occupied
bandwidth of the modulated
signal is the symbol rate
multiplied by (1+α) where
alpha (α) is the rolloff
factor. By using a lower
alpha, carriers can be
spaced closer together on a
given transponder or an
increased symbol rate can
be realized for a given
bandwidth.
Pilot When operating in DVB-S2,
the Pilot options are either
ON or OFF. When pilots are
enabled, the total data
throughput is reduced by
approximately 3.0%.
Rate Priority The Rate Priority control
allows the operator to
designate which rate will be
kept constant. When the
Symbol Rate is entered and
Rate Priority is Symbol, the
symbol rate is held constant
and the Interface rate is
calculated. When the
Interface Rate is entered
and Rate Priority is
Interface, the interface rate
is held constant and the
symbol rate is calculated.
