Within in the European Union this label indicates that the product
cannot be disposed of with the general household waste. Neither
the headend nor the input and output modules can be disposed
of with the general household waste.
For proper treatment and recycling of old products, please take
them to designated collection points in accordance with your
national legislation.
Box content
A new input module is wrapped in antistatic bubble wrap and packed in a
cardboard box when you receive it.
Included in the box is a user guide instructing you how to use the TDX Ser-
vice Tool to configure the module
The HDMI- and AV modules are some of the input modules that you can
install in the input section of your TDX headend unit.

Before you can install a module in the input section you have to remove the
cover that protects the module slot.
Cover removal
Module
installation
It is optional in which slots you place the individual input modules in the
input section. For convenience each slot has been given a number, and
an overview of the slot numbers has been placed on the inside of the
door of each unit.
Note
Slot no. 1 is placed in the top left-hand corner of the input
section when you face the front of the unit.
A label is placed on the front of the input module where you can write the
information regarding the configuration of the module.
Besides the information that you write on the label, the module type and
part number are also displayed on the label.
Note
The coloured part at the top of the label informs you of the module
type. Each type of module is allocated a unique coloured label.
On the bottom of the module you will find a label with the bar code and a
serial number printed on it.

Update
MPEG
encoder
module
Slide the SD card into the slot
at the bottom of the modules
for easy update of the modules
In very rare instances you will have to update the MPEG encoder module on
the PCB of the HDMI module.
If the MPEG encoder module needs to be updated you will receive an SD
card containing the update files from Triax.
To update the MPEG encoder module follow the procedure below:
• Remove the HDMI module from its slot in the TDX unit while power is on.
• Slide the SD card into the SD slot at the back of the HDMI module.
• Insert the input module into the slot in the TDX unit while power is on.
The colour of the LED on the input module indicates how the update process
is progressing:
Red - fast flashing The MPEG encoder module is now being updated.
Green - fast flashing
The update of the MPEG encoder module is completed.
No colour Power has not been switched on.
Proceed as follows (when update has completed)
1. Remove the input module from the slot in the TDX unit.
2. Remove the SD card from the slot at the back of the input module.
3. Reinsert the input module into its slot in the TDX unit.
If the update of the MPEG encoder module requires that the TDX system is
updated as well, the colour of the LED on the input module and the System
LED on the TDX unit will turn red and you will get an error message in the
System information window.
