HDMI MODULATOR LITE QUAD FRONT PANEL
MAIN MENU
Press Menu/OK to enter the MENU. Navigate through the MENU by using the buttons “Left” / “Right” in each modulator display separately (MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4) MOD1 & MOD2 in pair, produce one COFDM DVB-T or ISDB-T MUX which includes 2 TV channels. e.g. TV-1 & TV-2 MOD3 & MOD4 in pair, produce another COFDM DVB-T or ISDB-T MUX which includes 2 TV channels. e.g. TV-3 & TV-4
IMPORTANT:
- The Menu selections for: CHANNEL, RF LEVEL, FACTORY DEFAULTS, TV STANDARD are made only from Modulator Display MOD1 & MOD3 and automatically adjust their pair units Modulator Display MOD2 & MOD4, respectively.
- Each HDMI source input is addressed to its HDMI Modulator. HD IN 1 = mod 1 (configuration Display) HD IN 2 = mod 2 (configuration Display) HD IN 3 = mod 3 (configuration Display) HD IN 4 = mod 4 (configuration Display)
- Each HDMI Modulator has its own USB port, for CFG (Config File) function. USB 1 = mod 1 (configuration Display) USB 2 = mod 2 (configuration Display) USB 3 = mod 3 (configuration Display) USB 4 = mod 4 (configuration Display)

CFG: Configuration file extraction. Press key UP to extract the current configuration to the USB storage device.
SOFT: Shows the SW version. Use the key Up & Down to display the current SW version.
STAN: Shows the current TV STANDARD. Using the «Up» and «Down» buttons you select DVB-T or ISDB-T.
To save the selected configuration press once the MENU/OK key and confirm with YES or NO by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT keys and press MENU/OK key once again. The configuration is being saved, please DO NOT power off the unit! This procedure must be made separately, in each one of the 4 MODULATOR displays (MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4).
CONFIGURATION EXTRACTION (CFG)
For an advanced configuration of the HDMI modulator QUAD, you must extract the configuration file one by one for each MODULATOR (MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4) separately, to a USB drive, modify it and import it again in the respective HDMI modulator. To extract the configuration file named jedi_config.txt*, you must connect a USB drive** to
the USB slot, enter the Main Menu, select CFG and press key UP to extract the file to the USB drive. When the message SUCC appears, the process has been successfully completed.
IMPORTANT: he configuration file jedi_config.txt should not be renamed!
IMPORTANT: Use only FAT32 partitions! In any other case, the message FAIL will indicate that the process has not been completed.

CONFIGURATION IMPORT (CFG)
To import the configuration file jedi_config.txt, to each MODULATOR (MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4) separately, you must save the configuration file one by one in the root directory* of a USB drive, insert the drive to the respective USB1, USB2, USB3 or USB 4 slot and connect the PSU power to your HDMI Modulator. When you see this message CFG, press the MENU/OK button to confirm the import process. When the process is completed, the unit will reboot with the new configuration!
IMPORTANT: Use only FAT32 partitions. In any other case, the configuration file will not be read and the device will reboot normally!
FAST PRE-CONFIG FUNCTION / 50 IDS SELECTABLE
This feature enables the user to operate the unit hassle free by automatically setting the appropriate broadcasting table information [ID] to provide a more convenient installation, easy to adjust anytime with no tools required*! This feature is important when there are more than one HDMI modulators operating within the same TV coaxial distribution network. he user should change each unit’s broadcasting table information [ID] to be able for the end user devices to receive the channel.
The HDMI Modulator lite QUAD is pre-configured with the following IDs.
HDMI 1 / mod 1 = ID-01 / TV-1
HDMI 2 / mod 2 = ID-02 / TV-2
HDMI 3 / mod 3 = ID-03 / TV-3
HDMI 4 / mod 4 = ID-04 / TV-4
IMPORTANT: In order to change the Channel Name, you have to use the CFG function to extract, edit and load the modified configuration file.
