DTV-RX01-SD Digital TV Receiver Standard Definition

Overview

As part of an AMX TDS (Television Distribution System) installation, DTV-RX01-SD

Receivers (FG1411-01) receive TDS broadcasts from DTV-TX01-DVB-T and DTV-TX02-

DVB-S Transmitters (via Ethernet), and pass the signal to the end display-device via

standard A/V connectors (FIG. 1).

Product Specifications

AMX TDS System Description

The AMX TDS system can be deployed in any installation where digital A/V broadcast over IP

is desired, and delivers Digital TV and other encoded A/V signals to a number of TV sets, or

desktop PC's.

System Components

The AMX TDS system consists of several components, including a DTV-MA01 TDS

Management Appliance, Receiver (and IR Remote Controller), and Transmitter modules.

There are two Transmitter units available, to accommodate Terrestrial and Satellite digital TV

broadcasts. See the AMX TDS Operation/Reference Guide for details.

Network Considerations

Because of the high bandwidth associated with A/V distribution, the TDS system is typically

managed via a separate IT infrastructure. However, content may be streamed over the main

network if desired. Consult your IT representative to determine the proper network

configuration for the TDS system.

The AMX TDS system transmits audio/video using IP multicast. In order for this to work

satisfactorily, it is vital that the network switches are multicast-enabled in order to prevent

unwanted flooding of traffic on the network.

• Within the context of AMX TDS documentation. the term “Multicast-enabled” means

that all network switches carry out IGMP snooping, and one switch must function as the

IGMP querier.

• AMX Digital TV supports version 2 of IGMP.

Rear Panel Connectors

All connectors are located on the rear panel of the DTV-RX01-SD, for ease of installation and

easy access. Refer to FIG. 1 for the connector layout.

CONSOLE (RJ45) Port

The CONSOLE port provides access to a local command line interface via RS232. Use the

CONSOLE Port for the initial configuration of the Receiver (IP address).

IR Rx Port

The IR Rx (IR Receiver) port (see FIG. 1) supports pass-through remote control of connected

IR devices and local compensation controls.

If pass-through mode is required (where an IR-controlled device is controlled via the DTV

Receiver using an AMX remote control), then the included IR03 External IR Receiver Module

is required to receive IR commands from the remote control.

Note: The Receiver must be powered-down before connecting or removing an IR Emitter or

IR Receiver. These connections are not hot-swappable.

To connect an IR Receiver to the DTV Receiver:

1. Remove power from the DTV Receiver.

2. Connect the IR03 IR Receiver cable to the IR Rx port on the DTV Receiver.

3. Run the cable and attach the IR receiver bud such that it has a clear line-of-sight with

the intended remote control device.

4. Replace power to the DTV Receiver.

IR Tx Port

The IR Tx IR Transmitter port (see FIG. 1 on page 1) supports wired control of one connected

IR device. To issue IR commands to a display device, an IR01 External IR Emitter Module

(FG-IR01, not included) is required.

To connect an IR Emitter:

1. Connect an IR01 IR Emitter cable (FG-IR01) to the IR Tx port on the DTV Receiver.

2. Run the other end of the IRTX cable to the display device and locate the IR window.

3. Attach the IR Emitter bud over the device’s IR sensor by removing the cover of the

reverse side of the Emitter and sticking it directly over the IR window.

Status LEDs

There are three LEDs on the rear panel to indicate various types of device status:

• Power (red): Lights to indicate that the unit is receiving power, and is functional.

• Streaming (yellow): Flashes to indicate that the unit is receiving or sending data from

or to the master.

• Lock (green): Lights to indicate that the Receiver is locked to a transport stream, and

should be playing video/audio (if valid channel is selected).

Audio Output Connectors

• Analog: Standard red and white AUDIO RCA connectors provide analog stereo audio

output (White = Left, Red = Right).

• Digital: The Black SPDIF RCA connector provides digital audio output.

Video Output Connectors

• Component: The green, red and blue COMPONENT RCA connectors provide

Component (Y/Pb/Pr) video output.

• CVBS: The yellow CVBS RCA connector provides Composite video output.

NETWORK Port

The NETWORK (RJ45) port provides 10/100 BaseT network connectivity as well as PoE

(Power over Ethernet). As a PoE-powered device, the DTV Receiver must be used either

with a PoE-enabled Network Switch (such as the NXA-ENET24PoE), or with an PoE

injector (such as the PS-POE-AF).

Note: The maximum distance that a Receiver can be mounted from the Network Switch is

100m (328’).

Note: Consult the Network Administrator for correct cabling from the DTV-RX01 Receiver

onto the network. For remote connectivity, the Receivers will use ports 2008, 5000, 5001,

5002 and 5003 for remote connectivity over UDP.

Network Port Pinouts and Signals

The following table lists the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the NETWORK port.

Default IP Address

By default, DTV Receivers are set to DHCP. See the Setting the Receiver’s IP Address via the

CONSOLE Port section for more information.

Installing DTV-RX01-SD Receivers

DTV-RX01-SD Receivers receive TDS broadcasts from DTV-TX01-DVB-T and

DTV-TX02-DVB-S Transmitters (via Ethernet), and pass the signal to the end display-

device via standard A/V connectors.

DTV-RX01-SD Receivers do not connect directly to the Transmitters. Rather, they connect

to Transmitters indirectly via the LAN, via a network switch.

• DTV-RX01-SD Receivers receive power via PoE, therefore it is required that either a

PoE network switcher is used to connect the Receivers to the network, or that a or

PoE injector is used to provide power to the Receiver.

• One DTV-RX01-SD Receiver is required for each display device. The Receivers are

designed to be mounted on or near the display devices.

• Each DTV-RC01 remote controller is associated with a Receiver via options in the

TDS Configuration Manager.

Connecting DTV-RX01-SD Receivers to the Network

Use standard (Cat5/5e/6 UTP) network cable to connect the DTV-RX01-SD Receivers to a

network switcher. DTV-RX01-SD Receivers feature standard A/V connectors to deliver the

incoming TV signal to the display device (FIG. 3).

Setting the Receiver’s IP Address via the CONSOLE Port

In most cases, all setup and configuration for both Transmitters and Receivers is done via

the Digital TV Configuration Manager. However, the Receiver’s IP Address can also be

specified using a local command line interface, accessible via the CONSOLE (RJ12) port.

Note: The default baud rate is 115200.

In order to configure the network settings on the Receivers, the Receiver must be placed in

Command mode (via the IPTVsetup serial command):

IPTVsetup<LF><CR>

Use the following command to configure the network settings:

Note: All DTV Transmitters and Receivers must have an assigned IP Address, Network

Mask, and Gateway Address in order for the DTV system to work correctly. This applies to

units that utilize DHCP and to units that have been assigned Static IP addresses. If you are

using DHCP, verify that these address assignments are provided by the DHCP Server.

Performing a Full Factory Reset

The recessed Factory Reset button on the front panel, in conjunction with the Reset

pushbutton on the rear panel (see FIG. 1), allows you to perform a full factory reset of the

DTV-RX01-SD Receiver. A full factory reset resets flash and reboots the unit in the factory

default IP address mode (DHCP).

To perform a full factory reset:

1. Press and hold the factory reset button, recessed on front panel.

2. Press and release the reset button on rear.

3. Wait until the yellow LED starts to flash and release the factory reset button.

Configuring DTV-RX01-SD Receivers

DTV Receivers are configured via the Digital TV Configuration Manager (see below).

Digital TV Configuration Manager

The DTV-MA01 TDS Management Appliance features a built-in web console called the

Digital TV Configuration Manager. The Digital TV Configuration Manager allows you to

configure the Receiver and all Transmitters in the TDS solution via a web browser on any

PC that has access to the DTV-MA01 in the TDS system.

These instructions assume that the TDS System has been installed, and that the DTV-

MA01 and a PC is connected to the LAN.

Accessing the Digital TV Configuration Manager
