HD-1603 User Guide and Install Manual

The following changes are required when using multiple modulators in the same installation (stacking) -
• Output channel -
Before choosing an output channel, check which channels/frequencies are being used by your local
TV stations. Default is 39 UHF (606.5 MHz). If the modulators are on the same output channel as another modulator or
FTA channel the TV will not scan the channel in. Place all modulators on available channels between 6 to 12 VHF and
28 to 51 UHF (including adjacent channels - 38, 39, 40, etc.).
• LCN (Logic Channel Number) -
default 101. If TV tuner receives two or more LCN’s on the same number, including
FTA channels - the TV will automatically place the LCN on a free range. In Australia this is 350 and up. Suggest to go
101, 102, 103, etc.
•
Channel Name -
default “CHANNEL-1” this is necessary but recommended for clients to be able to identify channels.
For example “APPLE-TV”, “FOXTEL”, “DVD”, etc.
• TS ID (Transport Stream) -
Default can vary per product. You will need to adjust the TS ID # on each additional
modulator up one number per modulator. For example if default is “TS ID #1” - leave on “TS ID #1”, place 2nd modulator
on “TS ID #2”, 3rd on “TS ID #3”, etc. If the TS ID is the same number the TV tuner will not scan both channels in.
• Program Number -
Default can vary per product. You may need to adjust each additional modulator Program Number
up one number per modulator. For example, if default is “Program Number - 1” - leave on “Program Number - #1”, place
2nd modulator on “Program Number - #2”, 3rd on “Program Number - #3”, etc. If the Program Number is the same
number the TV tuner will not scan both channels in. Another numbering option is to assign the program number the
same as the LCN.
Installing Multiple Encoders in the Same Installation (Stacking)
Please refer to RL-RF380 & RL-RF210 for IR Distribution setup and configuration.
IR Distribution
NOTE:
If you plan on using channel 52 to 69 be aware of 4G/LTE transmissions as they may interfere with each other.
We recommend installing a filter.
TIP:
The Logical Channel Number is the number entered into the TV remote to view the modulated channel.
NOTE:
Most TVs do not have an issue with this setting but we recommend changing it just in case.
NOTE:
When using IR return path via RL-RF380 system, ensure the unit is remotely powered from the modulator and no local
power supply is connected to the RL-RF380.
