Overview

The IP-HDVR HDTV Tuner-DVR is an integrator-friendly HD tuner and Digital Video Recorder (DVR),

controllable from Ethernet, RS-232, IR, and onboard Web pages. A universal tuner, the IP-HDVR can receive

both ATSC and NTSC broadcasts from twin off-air antenna and cable RF inputs, decode clear-cable digital

QAM channels, as well as control an external analog cable box for subscription-based programming. When

integrating the IP-HDVR via Ethernet, a control system can also communicate with a video display or

projector through the HD tuner’s RS-232 control port.

Featuring a 120 GB hard drive, the IP-HDVR is also a powerful HD DVR, able to schedule recording from its

TV Guide On Screen™ program guide (no monthly fees) or VCR Plus+ codes. The unit can also record and

display digital video from IEEE-1394 ports or upscaled analog video from two AV inputs. In addition, users

can pause and review live programs at their leisure.

The tuner displays HD, SD, and analog broadcasts through Component, RGB, DVI, or composite video/S-

Video outputs. View up to 2-megapixel quality video in 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i modes, in a variety of

aspect ratios. Dolby 5.1 surround sound is available from an optical output, and variable- and fixed-level

stereo audio ports.

•Receives ATSC HD, SD and NTSC off-air, as well as analog, HD, and unscrambled QAM cable

channels simultaneously from TV and Cable RF inputs

•Records tuner and external AV to internal 120 GB hard drive

•Pauses live video programming for delayed playback and review

•Features subscription-free TV Guide On-Screen™ EPG for TV/Cable channel access and recording

•Accepts VCR Plus+ commands for digital recording

•Outputs HD,SD, and upscaled analog video to Component, DVI, RGB, or dual Video/S-Video ports

•Switches and upscales cable box and other external AV sources from two analog inputs

•Shares digital video with specific IEEE-1394 FireWire devices (Page 6)

•Links RS-232 control system communication to external video display when tuner is integrated via

Ethernet

•Integrates easily over Ethernet, RS-232, discrete IR and wired IR ports, and included HDV-RC IR

remote

•Offers Dolby 5.1 surround sound from optical digital output and two analog variable and fixed-level

stereo outputs

Getting Started

Here’s a brief overview of the steps needed to integrate the IP-HDVR.

Front Panel Setup

Use Front Panel Setup to select output, format, RS-232

parameters, and/or Ethernet settings.

RF Input

•Connect TV Antenna and/or Cable RF feeds.

•TV Guide Setup will determine if tuner will

search for off-air only or cable analog/digital and

off-air digital channels.

•After TV Guide Setup (p10), use Channel Menus

to search, screen, and test broadcast channel

operation.

•Use TV Guide Channel Setup (p19) to filter

channels displayed in the Program Guide.

Cable Box/AV Input Integration

•Connect Cable Box AV output to:

oAV IN 1 inputs

oCable input for AV on channel 2, 3, or 4

•Connect G-Link IR cable to Cable Tuner IR Out

•Attach IR emitter to underside of cable box, IR

emitter below the box’s IR sensor

•TV Guide Setup will link tuner to input and IR

codes for cable box control

•If you are not connecting a cable box, both AV

inputs can be switched through the tuner

AV Outputs

•Connect high-definition display to Component,

RGB, or DVI outputs (Use optional adapter to

connect an HDMI source to the DVI output)

•Connect video display to AV 1 or AV 2 outputs

•The IP-HDVR can switch between HD and video

outputs (no video is present when an HD video

output is selected)

•Connect audio equipment to Optical and/or

analog outputs – AV 1 is fixed, AV 2 is variable

•Audio is always present for all outputs

Control

•Connect Ethernet or RS-232 control cable to

control system

•Use front-panel menus to set IP address or RS-

232 parameters

•The IP-HDVR can also provide pass-through

bidirectional control of a display through the RS-

232 control port when the tuner is integrated via

the Ethernet port

•For IR control, connect external IR sensor or

wired IR system control port to IR IN, discrete IR

codes are available in AMX, Crestron, and Pronto
