WARNING - OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS
FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTASTIC
SENSITIVE DEVICES
To support OEM integration Essential Viewing provides two boards providing equivalent
functionality to the TVI C200 and TVI C300 encoders. This manual covers the TVI I300 which
has been designed to allow for the construction of a unit providing as a minimum the capabilities
of the TVI C300 encoder.
The I300 provides for the capture and compression of analogue video and audio to a digital
stream where this stream can be forwarded to a TVI Server for distribution to one or more
recipients. This stream is normally formed into IP packets for transport over any network
supporting IP. The I300 provides two routes for IP streaming, namely;
An Ethernet port for operation over a LAN or for connection to a router for operation
over a WAN,
An integrated cellular modem supporting streaming over GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA and
HSDPA networks.
The I300 has been designed for integration into an enclosure offering RF shielding and
operation as an open system may cause harmful interference to other electrical devices in
close proximity.
To meet EMC regulations it is imperative that the board is mounted in an enclosure that
provides RF shielding. All bulkhead connectors must be grounded to the enclosure and, where
stated in the documentation, shielded cables must be used to link the board to the bulkhead
connectors.
It is the responsibility of the integrator to obtain the necessary regulatory compliance to cover
operation of the unit within the territories into which the unit will be deployed.
