ATSC-mini HDTV Tuner Product Manual 022021
Overview
The Contemporary Research ATSC-mini HDTV Tuner is a full featured ATSC/NTSC HDTV tuner for professional applications. The ATSC-mini
will tune ATSC air, clear QAM cable, and NTSC air and cable channels. The low-profile design allows for mounting behind flat panel displays.
The HDTV tuner supports full 2-way RS-232 control, configuration, and status monitoring via rear panel serial port, IP Telnet, and UDP for
integration with third-party control systems.
Front panel controls are available for channel selection, volume, power, and menu. The unit may also be controlled by the optional HD2-RC
IR remote via the front panel IR sensor or remote IR sensor connected to the rear panel IR port.
On-board web pages allow for remote configuration, control, and monitoring from a web browser.
When used as part of an Ethernet based iCC-Net control system, the tuner will respond to power, channel, and volume commands. The
control interface may be the Display Express Lite application included with an ICE-HE-DXL or IP-DXL Display Control Center, Display Express
software, or a third-party control system.
