1 GENERAL
1.1 Description
The EN-106 is a module able to generate a signal in DVB-T format
(Digital Terrestrial Television) from an audio / video (A/V) analogue input.
The audio / video analogue input has three RCA sockets, one for
VIDEO signal and two more for RIGHT and LEFT audio signal.
These two analogue signals are processed through a MPEG-2
compression system, that digitises and compresses them, obtaining then a
MPEG-2 transport stream, which is digitally modulated in order to obtain a
multiplex, with a television service, at the DVB-T output socket.
This DVB-T signal can be inserted via the RF input (for loop-through)
into an already existing television distribution network, with the advantages
of robustness and high quality that digital technology offers.
The EN-106 module adjusts the compression rate to the available
bandwidth, using the modulation DVB-T parameters.

2.2 Maintenance
2.2.1 Cleaning Recommendations
CAUTION
To clean the cover, make sure the instrument is disconnected.
CAUTION
Do not use scented hydrocarbons or chlorized solvents. Such products may
damage the plastics used in the construction of the cover.
The cover should be cleaned by means of a light solution of detergent and
water applied with a soft cloth.
Dry thoroughly before using the system again.
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol or its derivates for the cleaning of the front panel and
particularly the viewfinders. These products can damage the mechanical
properties of the materials and reduce their useful lifetime.

5 CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The EN-106 Configuration Utility is an easy to use program for
Windows, that allows the user to configure parameters of the EN-106
modulator from a personal computer, instead to do it from the modulator
display itself. Few of these parameters are only accessible from the
Configuration Utility. It also allows updating the modulator software.
Processes to install and use the EN-106 are detailed below.
5.1 Installing the EN-106 Configuration Utility.
1.- Download the latest version of the Software EN-106 from the
USER’S MANUAL. EN-106
5.2 EN-106 Configuration Utility
PROMAX website.
2.- Unzip the downloaded file, then the "EN106_vX.X_setup.exe"
file appears.
3.- Double click on the file to run the setup application and follow the
steps.
1.- Connect the USB cable between the device micro-USB port
(powered) and the computer USB port.
2.- Run the program by double-clicking on the desktop icon "EN-106
Configuration Utility".
3.- Once the program is working, a window appears with three tabs.
Each tab provides access to a particular function. At the bottom
there is a white box showing all the orders and processes that the
instrument is doing.
4.- When the program starts, it tries to communicate with the device.
If successful, it identifies the device and downloads its
configuration, showing it on screen. If there is no communication,
it will show the reason in the white box on screen.
5.- If needed to stop / resume communication between the device
and the program, click on the Disconnect / Connect button
respectively.
03-2012 Page 16
USER’S MANUAL. EN-106
The following list shows each tab and its function:
Configuration: It allows you to modify, load, save, send and
receive parameters to / from the device. Parameters can be
changed individually or depending on the region / country.
Update: It allows updating the device software.
Help: It explains the meaning of every parameter and it allows
changing the language.
Each one of these functions is explained below.
5.2.1 Configuration
The configuration window is as follows:
It is divided into the following parts:
Dropdown menu: From this menu you can select the country or region
whose standard parameters you want to send to the
device or modify.
Page 17 03-2012
Table of parameters
and values: This table lists all parameters and values associated
with the selected region or the values received from the
device. Some of these parameters are accessible only
through the Utility Configuration. Click on the text box
to change the parameter value. Depending on the type
of parameter the user should directly write a new value
USER’S MANUAL. EN-106
or select the value from a dropdown menu.
Load option: It opens a window to select and load an XML file
extension, which contains the parameters values for the
modulator.
Save option: It opens a window to save an XML file extension with
the values of the current modulator parameters.
Receive option: It receives the parameters values from the modulator
and shows them on screen.
Send option: It sends the parameters values on screen to the
modulator.
5.2.2 Updating
The update window is as follows:
03-2012 Page 18
USER’S MANUAL. EN-106
1.- To update you must click on the button "Updating File".
2.- It opens a window to select and load the update file ("PRO"
extension). This file must be previously downloaded to the
computer. The update file can be downloaded from the PROMAX
website.
3.- Once the file is selected, the program will ask the user if he wants
to update the device software. If the answer is yes, it starts the
updating process.
4.- As you passed the updating process, the circle will be completed.
The process ends when the circle is completely filled.
5.- When the update finish a confirmation message appears and the
modulator must be restarted to recognize the new software.
5.2.3 Help
The Help window is as follows:
The help window has a window with a brief description of all the
editable parameters of the modulator.
It also has a dropdown menu where the user can select the language to
use in the program. The available languages are Spanish, English and
French.
