8. Esempio di applicazioneample

The diagram below illustrates a typical application scenario for the Edision HDMI Modulator Xtend Lite, demonstrating how it can distribute an HDMI source to multiple TVs via a DVB-T coaxial network.

Image: Application example showing the modulator connecting an HDMI source (STB, PC, CCTV, TV Box) to a main TV via HDMI loop and distributing the signal to multiple TVs (TV1, TV2, TV3, TV4) via DVB-T coaxial cable, potentially mixing with an existing RF signal.

In this setup, an HDMI source (such as a Set-Top Box, PC, CCTV system, or TV Box) is connected to the modulator's HDMI input. The modulator then outputs the signal as a DVB-T channel via the RF OUT port, which can be connected to a coaxial distribution network to feed multiple televisions. An existing terrestrial RF signal can also be fed into the RF IN port to be mixed with the modulated HDMI signal. The HDMI LOOP OUT allows for local monitoring on a main TV.

9. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• Nessun segnale sulla TV:
  • Ensure the modulator is powered on and the Power LED is lit.
  • Verify the HDMI source is active and connected correctly to the HD IN port.
  • Check the coaxial cable connection from RF OUT to your TV/distribution system.
  • Perform a channel scan on your TV to find the new DVB-T channel.
  • Ensure the output channel frequency on the modulator does not conflict with existing channels in your area.
• Scarsa qualità dell'immagine/suono:
  • Check the quality of the HDMI input signal.
  • Adjust the RF output level in the modulator's settings.
  • Ensure proper impedance matching in your coaxial network.
  • For advanced users, verify FEC (Forward Error Correction) and GI (Guard Interval) settings, which might require using the CONFIG DATA function via USB for precise adjustments.
• I pulsanti del pannello frontale non rispondono:
  • Check if the Lock button (1) is engaged. Press it to unlock the controls.
• Controllo IR non funzionante:
  • Ensure the IR Tx cable is securely connected to the IR OUT port (3).
  • Verify the optional IR CONTROL over COAX system (EDI-Rx/Tx) is correctly installed and configured.
