Chapter 1: Introduction Reference Guide: CT2430LD Page 2 March 09 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. Video Inputs The CT2430 has the following inputs: • PAL or NTSC BNC(f) • SDI* (only CT2430LD-S) 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. The current Software version can also be displayed.

Chapter 1: Introduction Reference Guide: CT2430LD Page 3 March 09 Power Linear Amplifier The linear power amplifier amplifies the output signal of the Modulator to an output of about 1 W (+30 dBm). The output port of the Power Amplifier is located on top of the CT2430LD.

Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Reference Guide: CT2430LD Page 4 March 09 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 CT2430LD. • When you connect the CT2430LD 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 Reference Guide: CT2430LD Page 5 March 09 2.2 Connectors Figure 1 Input connector of the CT2430LD • RF Connector The RF output signal of the Low-Power Amplifier is fed out at the SMA(f) connector on top of the unit. The CT2430 provides a RF output of about 1 W (+30dBm). Connecting Signal Sources The Video signal supplied by the camera has to be applied to the PAL/NTSC BNC (f) connector of the transmitter ( and SDI for CT2430LD-S*). 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 SMA (m) connector can be directly mount at the RF out socket.

Chapter 3: Options and Upgrades Reference Guide: CT2430LD Page 6 March 09 Connecting the 12VDC Supply Voltage Caution When using a battery or power pack, make sure that the minimum supply current is at least 3A and the output voltage matches the input voltage range of the CT2430LD. Failure to comply with these requirements may cause fatal damage to the battery/power pack and/or CT2430LD. Battery Powered Operation of the CT2430LD 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.
