STRATA TCU
The TCU (Figure 2-6) may contain either analog or digital or both
analog and digital video modulation modules. Where an
application might initially employ only analog video transmission
but expects to migrate to dual, switchable, analog and digital
operation, the TCU may be upgraded to add the MPEG/COFDM
module to add this capability.
Where only digital or analog video transmission is desired, the
MPEG/COFDM or FMT modules may be installed in a TXU,
thereby eliminating the need for a TCU. The STRATA TX
System design does not permit splitting digital and analog video
modulator modules between a TXU and a TCU.

If your TXU is equipped with either the FMT modulator or the

without a TCU, the front panel contains an AUDIO connector in
place of the DC ON COAX switch.

When the TCU and TXU are co-located, MRC recommends both
units be powered from the same DC power source.
If your STRATA TX System does not contain a TCU, the DC ON
COAX switch may not be present. If the switch is present, it
should be set to the OFF position if no TCU is present.
If your STRATA TX System contains both a TXU and a TCU, the
System gives you several ways to control DC power on the
coaxial cable between the TCU and the TXU, depending on the
configurations of your TCU and TXU:

Accessing the Main Screen You can access the Main screen
at any time by scrolling to the end of the screens you are viewing
(either Monitor or Control). Your next click of the control switch
will bring up the Main screen.
Accessing the Monitor Screen You can access the Monitor
option screen at any time by turning the control switch clockwise
(cw).
Accessing the Control Screen You can access the Control
option screen at any time by turning the control switch counterclockwise (ccw).
Default to Main Screen If you do not turn or push the control
switch for a period of about 7 seconds, the display will default to
the Main screen.
If you turn the control switch within those 7 seconds, you will
continue scrolling within that set of screens (Monitor or Control).
Unit vs.System Control If youre using a standalone TXU or
TCU, the menus and options that appear on the display will be
based on the hardware option(s) installed in that individual unit.
Routine Operation
3-27
When you connect your TCU and TXU, the two units
automatically detect what hardware is installed in each unit, and
automatically configure the menus and options to match the
installed hardware. The connected STRATA TX System then
allows you to control the entire system from either the TXU or the
TCU front panel.

TXU and/or TCU Control
Operations
This section describes how to configure your STRATA TX
System using the front panel control switch. Turning the front
panel control switch counterclockwise on either the TXU or TCU
controls transmitter functions including changing Presets,
changing RF channel assignments, setting RF attenuation
levels, and activation of DC power to an HPU from a TXU, from a
TCU to a separately located TXU, or from a TXU to a separately
located TCU.
Settings may be changed on a standalone TCU, standalone
TXU, a TXU and TCU, a TXU and HPU, or a TXU, TCU, and
HPU TX System.
For a summary of settings that can be changed using the front
panel control switch and which are made using the STRATA TX
Configuration Utility software, see Front Panel vs. STRATA TX
Configurator Settings on page 3-42.
