The Thor 4-ADHD series encoder is an all-in-one device that integrates encoding (MPEG-2,
MPEG-4/AVC H.264), modulation, and convert HDMI/YPbPr to a digital RF output sigal.
To meet various requirements, the 4-ADHD is also equipped with 1 ASI input, and output with 2
ASI ports and 1 IP port.
The signal source could vary from satellite receivers, closed-circuit television cameras, Blu-ray
players, and antenna (off air). Its output signals are to be received by TVs, STB, etc with the
correlated standard the unit is set to encode with (ATSC, DVB-T, DVB-C).
The 4-ADHD units are widely used in public places such as the mall, market hall, theatre, hotels,
restaurants and etc for advertising, monitoring, training and educating in company, schools,
campuses, and healthcare.

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 ㎡.
