1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this LEADER instrument. To use this instrument safely, read this
instruction manual thoroughly, and make sure that you know how to use the instrument
1.1 About Licenses
1.2 Notations Used in This Manual
properly.
If some point about the operation of this instrument is still unclear after you have read this
instruction manual, refer to the contact information on the back cover of the manual to contact
LEADER, or contact your local LEADER agent.
After you have finished reading this manual, keep it in a convenient place so that you can refer
to it when necessary.
This add-in software's features are only enabled after you enter a correct license key into the
LG 3810 and the license key is authenticated. For details on installing the software, see the
LG 3810 instruction manual.
You can only use the license key for this add-in software on one LG 3810. You cannot install
this software on multiple LG 3810s.
In function key explanations, items enclosed in [] are options, and underlined items are
factory default settings.

2.1 General
This add-in software adds DVB-T and DVB-H modulation functionality to the LG 3810.
2.2 Features
This software enables the LG 3810 to modulate signals as outlined in the DVB-T and DVB-H
standards.
* Internal signals are only valid when the broadcast system is set to DVB-T.
*1 The fixed patterns, video formats, and frame rates may be changed.
*2 When the frame rate is set to 25 fps, you cannot set the video format to 720 × 480i.
When the frame rate is set to 30 fps, the video format is fixed to 720 × 480i.
For details on the STATUS (top screen), NOISE, LEVEL, BER, UTILITY, and SYSTEM settings,
see the LG 3810 instruction manual.
3.1 SOURCE
Press SOURCE under MENU to display the SOURCE screen.
Depending on the Source and Standard settings, the contents of the SOURCE screen differ,
as shown below.
See the following sections for explanations of the different screens. For an explanation of the
settings that are available when you set Source to Internal, see the LG 3810 instruction
manual.
For details on the Standard setting, see section 3.2.1, “Explanation of the STANDARD Screen.”

Explanation of function key
• F3 Source
Select the TS input that you want to use.
Fixed Pattern: Videos and audio that are stored in the LG 3810 are
modulated and generated (factory default). If Standard is set
to DVB-H, you cannot select this setting.
PN: PN23 or PN15 random signals are used.
External<Input:SPI>: The TS that is applied to the rear panel SPI input connector is
used.
External<Input:ASI>: The TS that is applied to the rear panel ASI input connector is
used.
Internal: A TS from the internal HDD or an external USB device is
used.
Notes regarding switching the source
• When the TS input is switched (between each fixed pattern, PN, SPI, ASI, and
Internal), the receiver lock is released momentarily to reset the encoding circuit.
• The LG 3810 cannot receive data if an external TS (SPI or ASI) is selected and the
TS IN alarm is lit on the top screen or a TS that exceeds the allowable rate for
encoding is applied.
3.1.1 Explanation of the SOURCE Screen (When Fixed Pattern is selected)
Set Source to Fixed Pattern on the SOURCE screen to display the following screen.
If Standard is set to DVB-H, you cannot select Fixed Pattern.

F2 TS Setting is available when you have set Source to External or Internal (only when
Format is set to MPEG-TS) on the SOURCE screen. When Source is set to Internal and a
TS file is being played back, you cannot switch to the TS SETTING screen.
Figure 3-7 TS SETTING screen
• Explanation of function keys
• F2 Null Packet Filter
If you set Null Packet Filter to On, packets that contain the 0x1FFF PID are filtered
from the TS that is applied to the LG 3810. Removing unnecessary null packets
provides you with an increased number of carrier modulation choices. This feature is
not available for broadcast transport streams.
[ Off / On
]
• F3 PCR Update
Converts the external TS to a broadcast TS for broadcast encoding. During this
conversion, because the LG 3810 carries out operations such as rearranging the
packet order and inserting invalid packets, the PCRs must be overwritten. Therefore,
normally set PCR Update to On. For each external TS, the LG 3810 can overwrite up
to 8 types of PCRs. This feature is not available for broadcast transport streams.

3.5 Sample TS
The LG 3810 comes with a USB memory device that contains an original sample transpo
rt stream for checking the LG 3810's operations.
3.5.1 Notes
This TS has been created by LEADER to check the LG 3810's operations. It is not
designed to be used for evaluating decoders or as a reference for evaluating videos, image
quality, audio, or audio quality.
While the operation of this transport stream has been confirmed on representative
receivers that are commercially available, this does not guarantee that it will operate on all
receivers.
Please note that the data that is stored on the USB memory device can be deleted easily.
About the sample transport stream
• LEADER ELECTRONICS CORP. holds all copyrights to the videos contained in this
stream.
• You are not permitted to:
• Copy, process, or edit this stream without LEADER's permission.
• Decode this stream into a PES or elementary stream.
• Broadcast this stream or make it public for commercial purposes.
