H-4HDMI-ATSC-IP
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Thor H-4HDMI-ATSC-IP encoder is a powerful new all-in-one device which
integrates encoding (MPEG-2 HD, MPEG-4/AVC H.264) and modulating ATSC to
convert V/A signals into RF output. It comes equipped with 4 HDMI channels input
and 1 ASI input and output with 2 ASI ports and 1 UDP IP port.
The signal source could be injected from satellite receivers, closed-circuit television
cameras, Blu-ray players, and antennas. Its output signals are to be received by TVs,
STB with corresponding standard of ATSC.
With its various inputs available, our encoder modulator are wildly used in public
places such as the mall, market hall, theatre, hotels, resorts, and etc for advertising,
monitoring, training and educating in company’s, schools, campuses, hospital.

1.6 Typical Application of 4 * ATSC Carrier Outputs
To maximize the potential of our encoder for ATSC we have been able to boost the
maximum possible bit-rate bandwidth up to 76Mbps (19*4), which makes it reliably
carry 4 channel HD programs output simultaneously. This power has helped stem the
source encoding and modulation to any amount of TV’s at 1080i quality in MPEG2,
H-4HDMI-ATSC-IP
and 1080p quality resolution on MPEG4. Previously the maximum bitrate was only
11Mbps, this powerful unit will now help drive any digital programming at the highest
resolution rate allowed on the market.
Below brief chart will help to more clearly illustrate the working principle.

Requirement
Rack Mount
When user installs machine on rack, the distance between 2
rows of machine frames should be 1.2~1.5m and the distance
against wall should be no less than 0.8m.
Floor/ Table
Electric Isolation, Dust Free
Volume resistivity of ground anti-static material:
1X107~1X1010，Grounding current limiting resistance: 1M
(Floor bearing should be greater than 450Kg/㎡)
Chapter 2 Installation Guide
2.1 General Precautions
Must be operated and maintained in an area free of dust and debris.
The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the chassis when the
power is on. This will also void Thor’s manufacturer’s warranty.
After installation, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.
2.2 Power Precautions
Be careful when connecting a power source to the device.
Do not operate in wet or damp areas. Make sure the extension cable is in good
condition
Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

Environment
Temperature
5~40℃(sustainable )，0~45℃(short time)，
installing HVAC is recommended
Relative Humidity
20%~80% sustainable 10%~90% short time
Pressure
86~105KPa
Door & Window
Installing rubber strip for sealing door-gaps and dual level
glasses for window
Fire Protection
Fire alarm system and extinguisher
Power
Device power, HVAC and lighting should be independent to
each other. Device power requires AC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz or
AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before
running.
2.5 Grounding Requirement
It is important to keep this device grounded to ensure all of the modules
function correctly. Correctly grounding the device will also help prevent any
electrical interference, lightening. Etc. Also it helps reject minor interference that
may disrupt the devices ability to function smoothly. General rule of them, make
sure the device is grounded when installing anywhere.
Always use copper wire. When applied correctly the ground must be wrapped
well to ensure maximum conduction so it can reduce any high frequencies. The
copper ground wire should also be as short and thick as possible
Installer must make sure that the two ends of the ground are well conducted
and have appropriate anti-rust properties.
It is prohibited to use any other device as part of the grounding electric
circuit.
The area of the conduction between the ground wire and device’s frame
should be no less than 25 ㎡.
