 TDS provides multiple live Digital TV (DTV) or MPEG channels over a standard IP

network. The following table lists the hardware and tools included in each Vision

2

 TDS

kit: 

The Digital TV appliance enables you to connect to DVB transmitters and MPEG

encoders to provide DVB and MPEG channels over your IP network. 

The following table lists the specifications for the Digital TV Appliance:

DVB Installation

The following steps show how to setup a typical DVB configuration for Vision

2

 TDS.

1.

Connect the power supply to the rear of the Digital TV appliance.

2.

Connect an RJ-45 LAN cable to LAN port two on the back of the Digital TV

appliance (FIG. 2). Connect the other end to your Video LAN.

Note: Vision

2

 uses typical UTP/STP cabling for RJ-45 connections.

3.

Connect an RJ-45 LAN cable to your Video LAN. Connect the other end of the

cable to ETHERNET 10/100 port on the front panel of a digital TV transmitter

(FIG. 3). 

4.

Connect a coaxial cable to the RF IN connector on the rear of the digital TV

transmitter. Connect the other end of the cable to an available DVB source. If you

are using the DTV-TX03-US transmitter, use the RCA-to-Coax adapter provided

with the transmitter when connecting the coaxial cable to the TUNER IN

connector on the rear of the unit.

5.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each DVB transmitter in your Vision

2

 solution.

Note: Consult the AMX TDS Operation/Reference Guide for information on using the 

various digital TV transmitters available from AMX.

Live MPEG Installation

The following steps show you how to setup a typical Live MPEG configuration for Vision

2

TDS.
1.

Connect the power supply to the rear of the Digital TV appliance.

2.

Connect an RJ-45 LAN cable to LAN port one on the back of the Digital TV

appliance (FIG. 2). Connect the other end to your Client-side LAN.

3.

Connect an RJ-45 LAN cable to the LAN port on the rear of the MAX-CSE encoder.

Connect the other end of the cables to any of the ports on your client-side LAN

switch.

4.

Connect a composite or S-video cable to the corresponding ports on the rear of

the MAX-CSE encoder. Connect the other end of the cables to a device capable of

producing a video signal. The MAX-CSE encodes the video signals into MPEG-2

multicast streams.

5.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional MAX-CSE encoder in your Vision

2

solution.
