TS Input Stream Connection
With the RF output connections properly made, the next step is to connect your
19.39 MBPS TS input stream to the Exciter inside the TX cabinet. Using a 75ohm cable,
connect your ASI input stream to the TS IN 1 BNC connector on the rear panel of the
Exciter (as shown below). If you have more than one TS (multiple STLs, etc.) connect
your redundant TS input to the TS IN 2 BNC connector.
Please note: The above instructions apply to the 5X Exciter (which requires an ASI
input signal) and is most likely the Exciter installed in your system. However, if you
ordered the 9X Exciter (that can accept an ASI, SMPTE301M, or TSoIP (optional) TS
input, the rear panel connections on your Exciter will look slightly different. Please
consult your 9X User Manual for details.
With a valid ASI TS stream connected to the TS IN 1 and/or TS IN 2 on the Exciter,
verify that the corresponding TS1 and/or TS2 Led is illuminated on the front panel of
the Exciter as shown below.
Please note: The Exciter SysErr LED illuminates solid RED when the Exciter is in
Local mode and is OFF when the Exciter is in Remote mode. This LED only indicates
a SysErr when flashing.
