Chapter 1 - Overview

Product Introduction

The YUV2QAM is a two-channel High and Standard definition MPEG 2 distribution encoder
supporting ATSC and DVB QAM, ASI and IP distribution platforms.

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 send them back out as one combined TS via
IP, ASI or optional QAM. Closed captioning and support for Emergency Alert (EAS) are
standard.

YUV2QAM Dual Channel YUV SD and HD MPEG2 Encoder with ASI, GigE. Auto detects two
channels of high definition video and PCM or Compressed Dolby audio via RCA Component
and YUV inputs. Encodes video to HD MPEG 2 Transport Stream, passes Dolby audio (AC3 or

5.1) or encodes PCM to Dolby AC3 per ATSC A52 or MPEG 1 Layer 2 audio, creates MPTS,
and outputs ASI and GigE concurrently. Supports ATSC A69 PSIP and DVB-SI ETSI EN 300
468 service information, closed captioning per CEA 608 via composite video input with up­conversion to CEA 708 Digital captions internally and EAS + QAM Modulator – Adds ability to
modulate QAM Annex A or B, and output RF simultaneously with ASI and GigE.

Chapter 4 - How-To Guides

How to Complete a Manual Upgrade

You can upgrade your Adtec device's firmware via built-in web-based application, described
in the Upgrade Tab section, or via a Telnet/FTP session, described in this article.
To update your Adtec device 's firmware via a Telnet session, perform the following:

Manual Upgrade Process

Step Action

1 Obtain the desired firmware version file from www.adtecftp.com

note*: Firmware releases are found in the Public Folders -> Firmware -> Release

-> section of the website, in a folder marked with the product name. username:
adtecftp password: adtecftp2231
note**: Windows Internet Explorer renames adtec firmware file extensions to .gz .
When saving please add a t within the extension to read .tgz if IE has renamed
your file.

2 Using your favorite FTP client to upload the firmware file to the device.

If you are unfamiliar with FTP you may use a 'My Computer' window and type in
the address bar, ftp://adtec:none@192.168.10.48 where 192.168.10.48 should be
replaced with the IP Address of YOUR device. You may then drag and drop the
firmware file into the hd0 folder.

3 Open a Telnet session and enter the IP address of the unit you are going to

update.

note*: If you are unfamiliar with telnet, open a command prompt window
(windows: start -> run.., mac: macintosh hd -> applications -> utilities ->
terminal) and type: telnet 192.168.10.48

4 Enter the username as ' adtec ' and the password as ' none '.

5 Enter the following in sequence: *.ECMD stop

6 *.SYSD vrn search - from the results, look for the pathname of recently uploaded

firmware file

7 *.SYSD vrn install [pathname of the .tgz file]

ex: *.SYSD version install /media/hd0/YUV2QAM-v1.00.12.nfcms.tgz

How to Connect via Telnet

* Using Telnet (standard 23 port)* To connect to your device using a terminal session, you
will need to set the IP address of the unit. See earlier instructions on setting the IP via the
front panel.
Using a terminal window, complete the following:

Step Action

1 Type 'telnet x.x.x.x' in a terminal window, without quotes, where x.x.x.x is the IP

address of the unit.

2 Press <Enter>.

3 When prompted for a username, enter adtec.

4 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 YUV2QAM device, there are specific commands for the modulator, encoder, and the
unit's operating system. Each has a unique way of accepting commands. If using telnet is
your preferred method of communication to your device, familiarize yourself with the API
commands and their respective command handlers. For more information on this, point your
browser to the IPA of your unit and look through the API notes that are described for the
device.

How to Connect via FTP

FTP connections can be made to the adtec device using any ftp client.
Host: <ipa of the unit>
Default Username: adtec
Default Password: none
Port: 21
FTP is only useful for collecting logs from the device.

How to Use API Commands

The Adtec YUV2QAM device is unique in that it handles two physical encoders. To
accommodate commands for controlling both encoders, you will need to specify which
encoder you are working with for each command you issue.
Please make the following adjustments:

● Instead of using *.ECMD as noted the API descriptions, you will need to use.

○ *.ECMD0 to specify the first encoder.
○ *.ECMD1 to specify the second encoder.

Example: (*.ECMD0 TRA) will give you the transport status of the first encoder.

How TMR is Configured

TMR (Transport Stream Mux Rate) is controlled by the modulator’s clock.

When in Annex B mode, the rates listed below will be configured and can not be changed.
Annex B QAM 256 the TMR is set to 38.810671 bps.
Annex B QAM 64 the TMR will be set to 26.970186 bps.

When in operating in Annex A mode, the symbol rates are adjustable and that in turn
affects the configured TMR. The higher the symbol rate, the higher the data rate.

How Video Rates are Configured

Video rates can be configured manually or automatically. The factory default is to
automatically set the video rate based on TMR. This option is referred to as VAF (Video
Autofill). VAF determines what the TMR is. It reserves 3.5% for null packets. It detects
the video input resolution for each channel. It automatically calculates the required
headroom for audio pids. It sets the video bit rate for each channel accordingly to maximise
available bandwidth.

SD encode bitrate = 1.00 to 15.00 Mbps
HD encode bit rate = 7.00 to 60.00 Mbps

Example:
TMR is set to 40 Mbps.
Channel 1 has a SD 720x480i source.
Channel 2 has a HD 1920x1080i source.

15.00 Mbps will be allocated to channel 1 because the source is standard definition.

19.10Mbps will be allocated to channel 2 (this is the available band with after VAFs
calculation)

If VAF is set to off the video rate can be manually adjusted for each channel. If you
configure a channel at a video rate that would cause a egress overflow the VAF logic will
constrain the misconfiguration and reconfigure the video rate for both channels.

Example:
TMR is set to 40 Mbps.
Both channels have a HD1920x1080i source.
Both channels audio = 256 kbps
Video fill is set to off.

If both encoders are set to 19.10 Mbps and you want to reconfigure them to say 15.00
Mbps for channel 1 and 25.00 Mbps for channel 2. This would cause an egress overflow
condition because you have not factored in the 3.5% reserve and bandwidth occupied by
audio pids. Even though VAF is set to off it’s logic will override the configuration request
and constrain the video rates back down to 19.10 Mbps for both channels. To obtain the
desired configuration. You would need to recalculate your rates. Then configure channel 1
to 15.00 Mbps then channel 2 to 23.00 Mbps.

How to enable EAS mode

EAS can be enabled from an automation system contact closure or from the webUI EAS tab.

To enable EAS in VIDEO+AUDIO via the 9 Pin GPIO, short pin 5 to pin 7.

EAS GPIO Connector Pinout

To enable EAS mode from the webUI. Click the EAS tab. Select the desired EAS mode, then
click the large GO button. To disable EAS mode press the large STOP button.

How to configure Network EAS Triggering

By default the YUV2QAM is configured to send a trigger over the network to all other dual
channel encoders (HDMI2QAM, YUV2QAM, or EN-20) to also enter EAS enabled state. This
feature can be disabled by unchecking the box next to “Network EAS Triggering” then
pressing the apply button on the EAS tab.

Manually Setting Teletext

As of firmware version 1.01.00, Teletext must be manually set on the Adtec YUV2QAM
device.
Open a terminal window and enter <telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the
IP address of your YUV2QAM. Press <Enter>; when prompted, type <Adtec> for the user
name, and <none> for the password.
You can now control the unit via API commands.

Processing Teletext

The command for enabling and configuring Teletext Processing is ECMD PTX [Mode]
[Line_EN].
Modes - there are two modes that can be set as arguments when using the PTX command:

Mode Argument Value

Off 0

Waveform 1

Line_EN: Which VBI lines the Teletext will ride on must be specified. The notation format
for this is "0-0x1ffff", given in hexadecimal form with bitfields.

● Bit positions: specify as follows:

○ d0 = Line 6 (use 0 to disable, 1 to enable)
○ d1 = Line 7 (use 0 to disable, 1 to enable)
○ d2 through d16 corresponds to the remaining VBI lines, with d16 representing

Line 22.

Setting Teletext PIDs

The command for Teletext PID settings is ECMD TPI [argument]. There are two arguments
associated with this command: PIDx is the hexadecimal PID value. PIDd is the decimal PID
value. Available ranges for these settings are:

PIDx Range PIDd Range

0x0020 - 0x1FFE 32 - 8190

The full command string would read like this: ECMD TPI [PIDx] [PIDd].
This command is documented in the API Guide found on your device. To access this Guide,
point a browser session to your device's IP address and this string: media/hd0/media. The
API Guide can also be accessed from the "Help" tab of the browser-based UI interface.

Appendix A - GNU General Public License

Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change
it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to
any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software
Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can
apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these
rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you
must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this
license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent
must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION
AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.

The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the
Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to
say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other
than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside
its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of
the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the
physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a
work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains
or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there
is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that
work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to
the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of
another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party,
for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms
of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications
to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all
modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the
source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled
to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative
works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate
your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or
modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy

simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then
as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this
section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of
the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to
the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This
section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given
a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two
goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the
public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start
of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C)
<year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program;
if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA
02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an
interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with
ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are
welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of
the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something
other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items-­whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to
sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the
names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which
makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
Library General Public License instead of this License.
