Admin PC
A PC is required for initial setup and configuration. It is highly recommended to set up
remote access to the COM2000 system for monitoring and maintenance post installation.
This can be accomplished via several methods:
A PC on site, connected to the internet running Team Viewer or a similar remote desktop
program. PC will need to be on the same IP subnet as the COM2000 system
VPN router set up for remote access via a Virtual Private Network
ATSC

ATSC-8
This is a device provided by Technicolor to provide ATSC off air television signals to the
COM2000. It is configured and controlled through the COM2000 web interface.
Depending on configuration it can deliver 8 program channels or 8 complete ATSC8
broadcasts including all sub channels in the carrier.
COM2000 System
This describes the Technicolor system consisting of a COM360 chassis, COM46 cards and
QAM 6 modulators. Replaced previous product COM1000
COM360 Chassis
This device houses the COM46 and QAM 6 components. All video traffic is routed
through the two Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports on the front of the chassis or to the
QAM6 slots. System management and control can be done by connecting a
computer to one of the management ports on the front panel of QAM6 cards or the GIGe
ports. Replaced previous product version COM200
COM46 and
COM46-FLX Cards
The bulk of this manual is dedicated to these cards. They are the means by which the
property will be able to receive the desired television programming for their network
and control the entire COM2000 system. Replaced previous product version COM24 /
Com24-FLEX.
EAS
Emergency Alert Systems can be interfaced with the COM2000 to stream emergency
notifications to all channels. Similar to this a local message can be created and played via
a PC and VLC or a ZyCast Media Server.

Edge QAM
In a typical installation, the COM46 cards will be configured to stream to a QAM6
modulator. Alternatively the COM46 IP streams can feed an external edge QAM.
GIGe
Gigabit Ethernet High speed Ethernet standard for transmitting data at one gigabit per
second. All switches in the GIGe (video) network must be rated to pass this level of traffic.
Hard Drive
The COM2000 can process content on a hard drive to stream on a video channel.
