Setting up a QMOD-HD/TV One Digital Signage System

Overview

Designed to broadcast the output of a digital signage player as a digital cable channel, a QMOD-HD/TV One
Scaler system includes the following components:

 QMOD-HD HDTV Modulator

 TV One 1T-C2-400 VGA Scaler

 RK1-AC QMOD Rack Kit with Accessory Shelf

Components You Need

You’ll need a few parts essential to setup. Initially, you will set up using a direct RF connection to a TV. Once you

know the system is operating; then the system will feed a channel to the house system.

 2 HD15 to HD15 monitor cables

 1 Mini to Stereo RCA audio cable, if audio is needed

 1 Flat-Panel TV with onboard HDTV tuner and a PC RGB connection

 1 RF cable with “F” connectors

 1 Digital Signage PC with HD15 output, ideally, pre-loaded with the client digital signage program

Ideally, use one of the site’s TVs to test the system before it’s inserted into the RF system. That’s the best

approach, but not always possible. That’s why it’s good to have one of your own, just in case.

If you have an Apple or WIN7 PC, you’ll likely need an EDID emulator for a 1980 x 1080 PC resolution. That’s

because both restrict resolution if the OS can’t see the EDID data from the scaler. Emulators include

audio is needed

 Connect power to both units

Start PC and Signage App

Connect the PC to the TV (or its own monitor), start up the PC and run the signage app. You will use this video

for system setup. Remove the HD15 from the TV, and connect it to the TV One PC/HD IN connector.
