improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earthquake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts,
sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence.
This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including
negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by
any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the
possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.
Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not
apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

AMX Television Distribution System (TDS)
Overview
AMX Television Distribution Systems simplify the capture, storage and distribution of video content by
providing integrated solutions that support live video, pre-recorded video or TV signals. Using intuitive
interfaces, administrators can control incoming video or TV signals and determine where to project them,
either to a display, projector or PC. They support multicast, as well as most industry standard video file
formats plus audio. And our solutions can build on an existing video infrastructure to simplify the installation
and reduce costs in deploying a video content management system.
AMX Television Distribution System (TDS) products are designed to transmit digital TV content over
Ethernet using a multi-cast enabled LAN as opposed to a separate dedicated coaxial cable.
Television distribution is managed via the DTV-MA01 TDS Management Appliance. Use a PC to connect to
the DTV-MA01, to configure the transmitters and receivers in the system.
The AMX TDS Transmitters send a complete transport stream (MPEG2 and MPEG4, H264, as broadcast by
the service provider) which can include multiple individual channels of live programming to an AMX TDS
Receiver located at the TV display. It also sends control information over the same Ethernet network allowing
the ability to centrally manage the displays including powering them on and off. AMX TDS Receivers are
available both in High-Definition and Standard Definition models (FIG. 1).
FIG. 1 AMX TDS System Components
Network Considerations
Because of the high bandwidth associated with A/V distribution, the TDS system is typically managed via a
separate IT infrastructure. However, content may be streamed over the main network if desired. Consult your
IT representative to determine the proper network configuration for the TDS system.
The AMX TDS system transmits audio/video using IP multicast. In order for this to work satisfactorily, it is
vital that the network switches are multicast-enabled in order to prevent unwanted flooding of traffic on the
network.
Within the context of AMX TDS documentation. the term “Multicast-enabled” means that all
network switches carry out IGMP snooping, and one switch must function as the IGMP querier.
AMX TDS supports version 2 of IGMP.
