Innovator CHV400BTD ATSC Transmitter Unpacking and Installation

Technical Manual, Rev. 0 15

NOTES: If your CHVBTD system contains an Optional ASI to S310 Converter, connect the

ASI output of the STL to the ASI in jack on the rear panel of the converter.

Connect the SMPTE-310 Output from the SMPTE 310 Out jack on the rear panel of

the converter module to the input jack J1 on the rear panel of the CHV200B and

the driver tray for the CHV400B and higher power systems.

If your CHVBTD system contains an Optional KTECH receiver, connect the RF to the

input jack J1 on the rear panel of the receiver. Connect the SMPTE-310 Output

from the SMPTE 310 Out jack J2 on the rear panel of the receiver to the input jack

J1 on the rear panel of the CHV200B and the driver tray for the CHV400B and

higher power systems.

Refer to Figures 3 and 4, and Tables 2 and 3 for detailed information on the jacks and

connectors. Connect the On Channel RF Input (BRD), –78 to –8 dBm, or the SMPTE-310

Input (BTD), to the 50Ω BNC input jack J1, located on the rear panel of the CHV200B and

the driver tray for CHV400B and higher power systems. The input to J1 can be from the

ASI to S310 converter, the Axciter Tray or any other source of a SMPTE-310 signal.

If used, connect the external 10 MHz reference input to the 50Ω BNC 10 MHz input jack J6

located on the rear panel of the CHV200B and the driver tray for CHV400B and higher

power systems. If used, connect the external 1 PPS reference input to the 50Ω BNC 1 PPS

input jack J7 located on the rear panel of the CHV200B and the driver tray for CHV400B and

higher power systems.
