Introduction
The HDS-PB100 is a personal broadcasting device that is capable of broadcasting HD quality content
from a computer or select media player(s) with IP transport output capabilities to any open "white
space channels" local to the area.
What are White Space Channels?
White space channels refer to the channels that were left over from the analog to digital conversion.
The FCC is the governing body over white space use in the US.
Broadcasting on White Space Channels
The HDS-PB100 requires an internet signal in order for it to become enabled based upon its
registration with the FCC when installed. The FCC has delegated white space channels between
channels 21 to 51 for personal broadcast and requires a fee to use them. The annual fee is
approximately $55. Note: The fi rst years’ fee is included within the original purchase price of the unit.
Notifi cation is sent on an annual basis that further use will require payment of annual fee.
Items Needed for Installation
• Network connection that allows internet connectivity
• PC/Laptop or Media Player that has the ability to output a Transport Stream via the Ethernet
port
• Digital Television(s) that has/have ATSC tuner(s)
• Over-the-air antenna to connect to DTV tuner

Step 3
The broadcaster needs to be as centrally located as possible to allow its’ omni-directional antenna
uniform coverage over the entire area that the DTV’s will be located within. Install the Broadcaster as
high in the air as possible to ensure that an unimpeded signal is transmitted down toward the DTV’s.
Proper positioning will allow the full radial distance potential of 350’ (106m).
The Broadcaster can be mounted to a vertical surface if required. The rubber pads on the bottom of
the Broadcaster may be removed prior to installation. Ideally, the Broadcaster should be installed in
one of the orientations pictured below (mounting hardware not included). Note: To ensure uniform
signal coverage, the antenna must point straight up.
Step 4
The Broadcaster will need to access the internet and receive its media content via a network
connection. Connect the broadcaster to the network before applying power to the device. Plug in
the power adapter into an available power outlet. Note: If the broadcaster becomes unplugged from
its power adapter, wait 30 seconds before applying power to allow it to reset.

FAQs
Q. What type of media format does the HDS-PB100 Pico Broadcaster accept?
A. The HDS-PB100 needs the format of the media to be MPEG-2 TS. The Peerless-AV Streaming
Media software will determine if the given media fi le(s) need transcoding once the fi le is dropped into
the window.
Q. What type of input does the HDS-PB100 Pico Broadcaster accept?
A. The only input associated with the HDS-PB100 is an RJ45 network port as the Broadcaster
requires a UDP stream (User Datagram Protocol).
Q. What is the DB9 serial port used for?
A. The DB9 port is for factory use only.
Q. What is the USB port used for?
A. The USB port is for factory use only.
Q. What is the “reset” toggle used for?
A. If information and setup need to return to factory settings, press the reset toggle briefl y while
power is applied. The RJ 45 lights will blink off and then on momentarily. Unit has now been rest. Wait
30 seconds to access webpage to continue setup.
Q. What is the “confi ” toggle used for?
A. The “confi ” toggle is used only for fi rmware updates. The user will hold down the “confi ” toggle as
power is applied. This will put the device into fi rmware update mode.
Q. What is the SD card slot used for?
A. The SD Card slot is for factory use only.
Q. What are white space channels?
A. White space channels are the frequencies available that allow for low power personal broadcast
devices. In any given geographical location there are from 1-10 or more available channels to
broadcast onto. These channels are within the frequencies 500 MHz - 700 MHz commonly known as
channels 21-51.
Q. How do I fi nd the longitude and latitude of my location?
A. Websites such as http://www.getlatlon.com and http://www.fi ndlatitudeandlongitude.com can
be used to fi nd Latitude and Longitude. For location searches from a tablet or smart-phone, the user
may use the app “Show My White Space” from Spectrum Bridge Inc. (available for Android and iOS).
Q. What bit rate is available to stream per white space channel?
A. Each stream has the ability to carry up to 19.2Mbps.
Q. What do the lights on the front of the HDS-PB100 refer to?
A. When looking at the front of the device, the right most light is the Power indicator, illuminated
when power is applied. The center light is the On Air light used to signify the HDS-PB100 is operating
properly and is in broadcast mode. Until the device is registered properly the On Air light will remain
off. The left most light is the Error light and will illuminate red when there is an error with the device.
Q. Can the antenna be placed behind the DTV? Where is it best to mount the antenna?
A. The Antenna can be placed behind the DTV, but placement of the HDS-PB100 Pico Broadcaster
really dictates where the antenna can live. The higher up physically that the Pico Broadcaster is
mounted, the more options you have with antenna placement. Antennae need to “see” the broadcast
device, or have the ability to receive a refl ected signal from a device installed high off the ground.
20 of 24 ISSUED: 11-07-13 SHEET #: 180-9044-1
Q. Does the power level increase the distance of the HDS-PB100?
A. The adjustable power level will not increase distance, but rather increases signal intensity. For a
smaller deployment, not covering as much physical area, the power level may need to be decreased
as to not produce too ‘hot’ of a signal that is diffi cult to tune in.
Q. Why does the HDS-PB100 need to be connected to the internet?
A. Due to the FCC requiring an annual fee to use licensed white space channels, internet
connectivity is required in order for the polling of the HDS-PB100 to take place and verify the current
license.
Q. Can I remotely mount the transmitting antenna away from the HDS-PB100 Pico Broadcaster?
A. If the HDS-PB100 needs to be situated in a setting that does not allow for an elevated installation
(i.e. AV Rack, IT Closet etc), you may provide a run of coax between the device and the antenna in
order install the antenna at an appropriate location allowing for proper placement. Note that as you
add coax between the antenna and the device, you also add attenuation.
Q. Can I transmit a signal from my computer of a Presentation/File (i.e. PPTX, Spread sheets,
etc…)?
A. Currently the Peerless-AV streaming software allows preset AV fi les to be encoded properly and
streamed to the HDS-PB100. However, there is open source software that has the ability to stream
from a desktop, so no matter what is displayed on the desktop of a PC, the Broadcaster can transmit
the signal.
Q. Can I give my broadcast a custom name?
A. Yes. On the fi rst page of the software you will see a fi eld that says "Channel Name". To the far
right of that click "Edit" and enter in the name of the channel as well as the actual channel number.
Click "OK".
