EN-206 C
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1
Description
The EN-206 C which allow audio/video signal input in TV distributions with
applications in home entertainment, surveillance control, hotel Digital Signage,
shops etc. It is an all-in-one device integrating MPEG4 AVC/H.264 encoding and
DVB-C modulating to convert input signals to DVB-C RF out in the frequency
range of 30~960MHz. The signals source could be from satellite receivers,
closed-circuit television cameras, blu-ray players, and antenna etc. its output
signal is to be received by DVB-C standard TVs or DVB-C STBs etc.

Connect the signal source, enter "Start Record" and choose "Yes" to
start recording the encoded TS.
Advanced Config:
► File size:
Users can set the file size for the *.ts to be recorder. A single file can
be maximum 2000 MB in size.
► Filter null PKT:
Users can decide whether to filter the null packet for the *.ts files to
be recorded.
► Filter save mode:
There are 3 modes provided:
"Single file": For example, when the file size is set as 1000 MB
and the *.ts is recorded up to 1000 MB, it automatically stops
recording TS.
"Segmented file": For example, when the file size is set as
1000 MB and the *.ts is recorded up to 1000 MB, it automatically
saves the files and continues to record TS and save it to next file
until the USB memory is full.
"Loop record": It automatically saves the files and continues to
record TS and save it to next file. When the USB memory is full, it
replaces the previous files.
► File name:
Users can enter this menu to edit name for the *.ts files to be
recorded. For example, if users name it “Record-“, it will give name to
the saved *.ts files "Record-001.ts", "Record-002.ts"... "Record00N.ts"
► Automatic Record:
Users can choose whether to set EN-206 C record the TS
automatically or manually.

Click to set a save path for the TS video to be created.
To set time duration for every picture when playing the video.
To set the resolution for the output video.
The video is transformed based on VBR (Variable Bit Rate). The number
set here represents the highest bit rate for the output video and bit rate
will varies under the number.
February 2014 21
Users can select a encode format here according to standard of receiving
terminal.
Users can filter the null packet to boost the video’s effect bit rate.
A single video can be maximum 2.0 GB in size. (EN-206 C cannot play a
video bigger than 2 GB).
After setting all the parameters, click
to start the transformation. Click
"OK" when it prompts "The operation completed normally".
Click this button to stop the transformation before the operation
completed.
After finishing the transform operation, users can clic this button to play
the generated TS video.
5.3
File Management
After finishing the transformation, users can find out the videos files generated
according the Saving Directory. For example, we save the video in “D:\ABC” so
we can find it in Disk “D\Folder ABC”.
► Management:
Three files will be generated if the Null Packet has been filtered.
File TS video for preview through the “Creator” interface by clicking
“Play” button.
File TS video and information files: Users need to save the two files
together in the USB memory, and then EN-206 C can read them
and play the video.

7 MAINTENANCE
7.1
To clean the cover, make sure the instrument is disconnected.
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.
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.
