Power on Apply 12V DC to DC-103. It will take about 40 seconds for DC-103 to boot. When the boot process is completed, it begins to transmit the camera video from the SMA connector in DVB-T, and the CVBS output is also present. Note: 1. Default RF channel is CH69, Frequency: 858MHz, BW:8 MHz, unless specified. 2. When initialization done, ###Camera Boot Finished### message will be shown in the UART debug port output; refer to more details below. Connect to a DVB-T receiver 1. Connect the video RF output to a coaxial cable (or an antenna). A DVB-T receiver can be either DVB-T TV, DVB-T STB or DVB-T USB receiver dongle. 2. The video output is full HD 1920x1080x30P H.264 format. Please make sure your receiver is capable of HD decoding. (Many old DVB-T STB s or TV s can only decode 720x576 SD). 3. Default RF channel is CH69, Frequency: 858MHz, BW:8 MHz, unless specified. WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 3

Adjust the Focus of the Lens By default the focus of the lens may not be correct. Please turn the lens clockwise or anti-clockwise to get the best focus. Connect to a CVBS monitor A CVBS video output is optional. If it s enabled, when the system boot is completed, there is a standard CVBS video output (default PAL). WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 4

Mic-in If it s bare bone DC-103, a condenser microphone is included. If DC-103 with housing, a 3.5mm Phone Jack is provided. Note: By default MIC-in feature is disabled. When you want to enable MIC-in feature, it s recommended to disable CVBS output with the configuration kit for better audio quality. WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 5

USB UART PORT The USB UART port can be used to configure DC-103 or monitor the system boot status. You may connect the UAB UART to a Laptop PC. On most Windows platforms, the driver will be installed with in-box driver automatically. However, if Windows prompts to install driver for the new device, please run PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.7.0.exe, which can be found in the folder \PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.7.0 If the device driver is installed well, there will be a new Com Port device, shown in Windows Device Manager. The com port assignment may vary depending on the PC configurations. In the following example, COM5 is assigned. The following picture show how the USB UART dongle is connected to DC-103. WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 6

Monitor Boot Messages When you connect the USB UART port to a Laptop PC, and driver is well installed, you may use any UART terminal application to monitor debug message. The default communication parameters are 115200,n,8,1. WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 7

Custom Configuration Users may customize the configurations with a PC tool thru the USB UART port. Connect the USB UART port to a Laptop PC, and make sure driver is well installed as described in previous paragraph. Launch ite_serialtool.exe. Specify the correct COM port which corresponds to the USB UART port, then click on Open button. The following shows the USB UART port is open successfully. Click on Get button to retrieve current configurations. WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 8

If it fails to open the COM port, it shows the following message on the caption bar. Please check if the USB UART Port is currently open by any other UART terminal application. Modulation Setting Description Note: When you change the modulation settings, you needn t to reboot the camera after clicking on Set button. The new settings take effect immediately.

If [modulation data rate] is too low, it may cause video glitch. [1] [2] [3] auto The modulation data rate ( channel capacity, maximum data bit rate or throughput) varies depending on the transmission parameters. The maximum date bit rate can be calculated as below. Tbandwidth = {1000,000, 2000,000, 3000,000, 4000,000, 5,000,000,6,000,000, 7,000,000, 8,000,000} in Hz for 1~8MHz Tcode_rate = {1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8} TConstellation = {2, 4, 6} <- QPSK = 2, 16QAM=4, 64QAM = 6 TGuardInterval = {4/5, 8/9, 16/17, 32/33}, 1/4 = 4/5, 1/8 = 8/9, 1/16 => 16/17, 1/32 => 32/33} 2K/8K mode does not matter Maximum bit rate = 1512 / 2048 * 188 / 204 * 64 / 56 * TBandwidth * Tcode_rate * TConstellation * TGuardInterval (bps) = 423 / 544 * TBandwidth * Tcode_rate * TConstellation * TGuardInterval (bps) Refer to the table shown below.

Update Firmware First of all, please prepare a USB disk and copy the following files to the root directory of the USB disk. There files can be found in the software package of DC-103. sdkcam2tv_uart updatefw.sh DTVCAM_1080P.conf The following steps describe how to update DC-103 firmware 1. Power off DC-103 2. Detach the USB connector cable 3. Connector USB UART to a laptop PC and launch a UART terminal application (like Tera Term ). 4. Connect the UART terminal to DC-103 UART port with the parameters 115200,n,8,1 Note: it s recommended to switch off Local echo on the terminal. If Tera Term, set as below. WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 1 4

5. Power on DC-103 (Note: Do NOT attach USB disk when DC-103 is powered on.). 6. Wait until you see the following messages on the terminal. 7. You may attach the USB disk with the special USB cable WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 1 5

8. And wait until the disk is detected well, as shown below. 9. Type the following three command lines (shown in bold) one by one, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; cd /mnt Comment: If there is an error message mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed when you type mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; cd /mnt, please unplug and plug USB disk, then try again. If it successes, there is no message../updatefw.sh Comment: If it successes, there are some messages, kernel version is : 3.0.8 Ready copy driver and sdkcam2tv_uart!! copy 1080P configure file cd /;umount /mnt Refer to the following example, WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 1 6

10. Remove the USB cable and disk 11. Power off DC-103 12. Attach(Recover) the USB connector cable WWW.HIDES.COM.TW 1 7
