MediaCento RF Quick Start Guide
4. Configuration and Support for MediaCento RF
IMPORTANT: To configure the MediaCento RF for everyday use and to check for updated firmware, you need to download the
Black Box Modular Configuration Tool, a powerful graphical user interface, onto your laptop or PC and connect to the
MediaCento RF via an open USB port. An Internet connection on your PC is required to download the Black Box Modular
Configuration Tool from our server and to update the firmware on the MediaCento RF.
To get the Black Box Modular Configuration Tool:
1. Visit ftp://ftp.blackbox.com/anonymous/communications
2. Download the Black Box Modular Configuration Tool (setup.exe).
Always check for updated firmware first:
1. Launch setup.exe.
2. Connect your PC to the MediaCento RF via USB Type B to USB Type B cable.
3. Power up the MediaCento RF.
4. Install new firmware if prompted. If there is new firmware available, follow the directions for downloading firmware.
Configuration
Factory default settings allow MediaCento RF to broadcast a Component video HD source with SPDIF-coax analog on HD channel
2.1, over coax cabling, for reception at connected HDTVs.
To use the factory default settings for a connected component video HD source:
1. Plug the MediaCento RF power cord into an AC outlet.
2. Connect the “component video output” of the HD source to the “component video input” of the MediaCento RF.
3. Connect the “analog audio output” of the HD source to the “analog audio input” of the MediaCento RF.
4. Connect the “coaxial output” of the MediaCento RF to the on-premise coax network that feeds HDTVs.
5. Tune HDTV to Channel 2.1 to view the MediaCento RF and the connected HD source.
You might need to perform a digital cable channel scan on the HDTV first to receive the new MediaCento RF channel.
To make ANY changes to the default settings (including setting alternative audio inputs, changing the RF output channel,
re-naming the HDTV channel etc.), use the Black Box Modular Configuration Tool for configuration.
Bit Rate Adjustment
NOTE: There is a way to adjust for bit rate. The default setting is “high.” The higher the bit rate generally means the higher the
video quality but there are some HDTVs that will not accept a high bit rate on certain scenes. We chose a setting (high) that is
compatible with most TVs. If you encounter any issues with our default setting, you can adjust the bit rate by going to the
Configuration tab and MPEG encoding section.
Frame Rate Adjustment
You can change the default setting for 720p resolution from the default of 60 fps down to 30 fps. To adjust frame rate, go to the
Configuration tab and MPEG encoding section, then check the “Show Advanced Options” checkbox.
