Installation Guide
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.

Front Panel Components
Factory Reset
Button (recessed):
Press the recessed Factory Reset button and the Reset button (on the
rear panel) at the same time to revert the Receiver to factory default IP
address mode (DHCP).
Rear Panel Components
• CONSOLE:
RJ12 connector provides local command line interface (via
RS232 only).
The RS01 RS-232 Serial Transmit Cable (FG-RS01) is to be used on this
port.
Note
: On some units, this connector may be labelled “SERIAL”, but the
connector functions the same in either case.
• IR Rx:
3.5mm stereo input port, for connection of an IR receiver to allow setup
of the DTV-RX01-SD, and for channel selection and control of local
monitor volume and power.
The IR03 External IR Receiver module (FG-IR03) can be connected to
this port.
• IR Tx:
3.5mm stereo output port allows one IR-controlled device (such as a
local monitor) to be controlled via an optional wired IR emitter.
The IR01 IR Emitter Module (FG-IR01) can be connected to this port.
• Reset Button:
Press to reboot the Receiver - see the
Performing a Full Factory Reset
section for details.

• Power (
red
): Lights to indicate that the Receiver is receiving power (via
PoE), and is functional.
• Streaming (

): Flashes to indicate that the Receiver 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 a valid channel
is selected).
