Chapter 1: Introduction 1. Introduction to the CT2020HD 1.1 Preliminary Remarks The present manual is provided for users and operators of the CT2020HD Transmitter. It is intended to support the installation, operation, maintenance and daily use of the unit in general. The manual should be kept with the CT2020HD Transmitter and may be consulted when questions occur.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3 Description General Information on D-ENG (Digital Electronic News Gathering) The introduction of the DVB standard established the basis for digital broadcast video transmission making efficient use of the available bandwidth. Powerful compression algorithms allow a reduction in the amount of data to be transferred, while maintaining the high quality standards for video and audio signals used in broadcasting applications.
Chapter 1: Introduction • HDSDI BNC(f) OFDM Modulator The digital data signal for wireless transmission is processed by the OFDM Modulator and following IQ Modulator. The OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) modulation procedure has a major impact on the transmission properties and was specifically developed for terrestrial radio transmission. User interface With its integrated Multifunctional Display it is easy to set up the transmit frequency, display contrast.
Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades 2. Installing the Equipment 2.1 Safety instructions Warning The regulations of VDE0100 must be observed for installation and operation of the unit. Caution • Establish all other connections before starting the unit by connecting it to 12VDC. Essential a valid video signal must be connected to the desired input before power on the CT2020HD.
Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades 2.2 Connectors Figure 1 • Input connector of the CT2020HD RF Connector The RF output signal of the Low-Power Amplifier is fed out at the N(f) connector on top of the unit. The CT2020HD provides a RF output of about 400 mW (+26dBm). Connecting Signal Sources The Video signal supplied by the camera has to be applied to the HDSDI BNC(f) connector of the transmitter.
Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Connecting the 12VDC Supply Voltage Caution When using a battery or power pack, make sure that the maximum supply current is at least 3A and the output voltage matches the input voltage range of the CT2020HD. Failure to comply with these requirements may cause fatal damage to the battery/power pack and/or CT2020HD. Battery Powered Operation of the CT2020HD Many types of batteries are available on the market and we tried to support the best ones. 2.
