Chapter 1: Introduction Reference Guide: CT2020HD Page 1 March 08 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. If problems should remain after you have read the manual carefully or if you have any further questions concerning the functionality or operation of the Transmitter, please contact the Customer Service. 1.2 Designation and P/N Designation CT2020HD Frequency range P/N 2.0 – 2.3 GHz 11.2422.500 2.3 – 2.6 GHz 11.2422.100
Chapter 1: Introduction Reference Guide: CT2020HD Page 2 March 08 Video Inputs The CT2020HD accepts only HDSDI information at the input: 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 broad-casting applications. New modulation techniques and error correction algorithms ensure a secure signal transmission even when the transmission conditions are poor. The DVB-T standard was established for terrestrial digital TV broadcasting, in particular considering the difficult conditions of radio transmission. The highly efficient OFDM multicarrier modulation procedure enables transmission without interference even under multipath propagation conditions occurring with non-directional transmission or reception. Practical experience soon has proved that the DVB-T standard guarantees ruggedness of transmission to an extent even allowing mobile reception. Increasing miniaturization, in particular of MPEG encoders and OFDM modulators, enables using the DVB-T standard for mobile portable transmission systems. Previous analog FM systems were adversely affected by signal reflections directly resulting in video and audio interferences. Such effects do not occur when the digital ENG system (D-ENG) is deployed. Even mobile transmission from moving vehicles or the use of omni-directional antennas on the transmitting or receiving side does not impair the picture or sound quality at all, opening a completely new range of applications in TV production and news gathering.

Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Reference Guide: CT2020HD Page 4 March 08 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. • When you connect the CT2020HD as described in the following sections, make sure that the "Caution" instructions given there are observed. • Make sure that there is sufficient air circulation to ensure adequate cooling of the unit. External forced ventilation may be required if the unit is installed in a rack or cabinet.
Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades 2.2 Connectors 1 Input connector of the CT2020HD Figure • 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. The Audio signal supplied by the camera has to be applied to the Audio in 5pol Lemo connector of the transmitter. Connecting the RF Output A Omni directional antenna with N(m) connector can be directly mount at the RF out socket. Connecting the UHF Data Input (optional) A UHF antenna with SMA (m) connector can be directly mount at the UHF in socket. Reference Guide: CT2020HD Page 5 March 08
Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Reference Guide: CT2020HD Page 6 March 08 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. 2.3 Shut-Down Caution To shut-down the unit, first disconnect it from the 12VDC supply voltage. After disconnection from the supply voltage by removing the battery or disconnecting the 12VDC supply cable, the other connecting cables can be removed from the unit.
