to bear at least 4 times the equipment weight.
• Attention: to avoid being hurt, the unit must be mounted to the wall/floor according to the installation instructions.
• The “PERMANENTLY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT” needs a sectioning device, easy to access, that must be integrated outside the unit; in the
“EQUIPMENT WITH POWER PLUG”, the plug must be installed close to the equipment and easily accessible.
• The unit must be connected to the ground electrode of the antenna system, in compliance with the EN 60728-11 standard. The earth screw
is indicated with the symbol: .
• It is important to observe the provisions of the EN60728-11 standard and not to connect this screw to the power supply earth line.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
D-Matrix 4S EVO is an apparatus that enables generating two modulated multiplexes according to the standard for digital terrestrial (DVBT)
or cable television (DVB-C), using streams received from four satellite transponders (DVB-S or DVB-S2), or read from transport stream .TS,
contained in an external USB drive. The .TS files can be obtained by converting any audio/video file into the right format, using a PC conversion
program. The modulator is full-band and therefore can independently modulate the MUX on arbitrary frequencies in the VHF-S-UHF (114 − 858
MHz) bands.
NB: the four MUX are not completely independent and are linked in couples (MUX 1-MUX 2 and MUX 3-MUX 4) from channel parameters (or
frequency parameters), bandwidth and output level: if the output channel of the MUX 1 (or MUX 3) is set, the output channel of the MUX 2 (or MUX
4) will be automatically set to the following adjacent channel of the channel set in MUX 1 (or MUX 3). If the output channel of the MUX 2 (or MUX 4)
is set, automatically the output channel of MUX 1 (or MUX 3) will be set to the previous adjacent channel. Similarly setting a different value of the
bandwidth or the output level of MUX 1 (or MUX 3), the same value will be set for MUX 2 (or MUX 4) and vice versa.
The product is equipped with:
• Bipolar electric power socket;
• Four DVB-S / DVB-S2 satellite inputs with DiSEqC management and overload control;
• Four multicolour Leds, one for each input, indicating the input status;
• Two common interface slots, each one can be associated to any of the inputs or in Flex-cam mode to enable decrypting programs from
different inputs;
• MIX input that enables mixing the signal generated from the device with one coming from a TV reception system or other product that
generates RF signals;
• RF output of the generated MUX and whatever comes from the MUX input;
• Ethernet 10base-T / 100base-TX Ethernet port;
• USB host port for .TS file storage, the firmware update and configuration save/reset;
• Multicolour led indicating the system status;
• Reset button (internal).
It can be programmed in one of the following ways:
• Base programming, using the keypad and LCD display on the front panel;
