connecting it to 12VDC. Essential, a valid video signal must be
connected to the desired input before power on the CTxx30HD.
When you connect the CTxx30HD 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.

Note
With PsF, a progressive frame is sliced into two "segments", with
the odd lines in one segment and the even lines in the other
segment. This allows for a progressive picture to be processed
through the same electronic circuitry that is used to store, process
and route interlaced video. Technically, progressive segments are
equivalent to interlaced fields, but unlike native interlaced video,
there is no motion between the two fields to make up the video
frame, both fields represent the same instant in time.
The following options are available:

The complete transmitter performance can be influenced with the changing of the
Firmware!
The menu provides the following firmware:
Core 0: MPEG 1-frame | provides a minimum delay of 1frame but lower video quality
Core 1: MPEG normal | provides a slightly higher delay but highest video quality
Core 2: H.264 | MPEG-4/AVC compression mode
Core 3: ASI input only instead of SDI
Page A-22
Next press the OK Button for 2 seconds. The Display will flash once.
After that release the ok button and press the Up-Button, you have now visibility to
the hidden menu FPGA CORE menu.
Core 0
As explained above you can now choose between the special settings HI SPEED, HI
QUALITY, H.264 and ASI IN.
To change the core, press the ok button for 2 seconds.
Page A-23
Use the Up- and Down-Buttons for navigation and select the desired core by pressing
the ok button.
The following options are available:

When your terminal software starts you can check with the command ga for get all
if the communication is working properly. The transmitter will respond with the
current preset settings.
Before you start with the encryption you have to choose the correct Encryption
method. For AES128 (compatible for most of the units) use BCRYPT2.
Use the command sscm bcrypt2 to enable the AES128. If the command was correct
the transmitter will show the curser in a new line behind the command prompt. If the
command was wrong the transmitter will shown the message:
Syntax error, use: SSCM BCRYPT1|BCRYPT2|BMS6DA|BMS6DB|BMS4DB
After selecting the correct encryption mode you have to enter a valid encryption key.
Please be aware of that the same key is used in the receiver, otherwise you will not be
able to decode the picture at the receiver.
To enter a AES128 key you have to enter a 32 character HEX key. Therefor please use
the characters 0-9 and a-f.
With the command skey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (x has to be
replaced with your key) you are writing the key into the transmitter.
If the key is too short or too long, the transmitter will response:
Error: incorrect key size
If the key contains not valid characters, the transmitter will response:
Error: incorrect key
After the key is set, due to safety reasons it is not possible to read the key.
To activate the encryption use the command sscr on and the encryption is now active
with your selected encryption mode and customized key.
