Installing the P80 Console Media Adapter  
Chapter  
1
Installing External Receivers  
The P80 Media Adapter option allows a P80 console to  
display content provided by external receivers instead of the  
console's internal tuner. For those facilities that use such  
receivers to process incoming TV signals, the Media Adapter  
provides the exercisers with exactly the same user  
experience. They select television channels from the same  
channel guide and switch between television and other  
information (such as Preva Net or the Goal Compass) in the  
same way.  
The Media Adapter accepts 720p x 60 fps video signals  
through an HDMI connection from one of several different  
external receivers. (Refer to the receiver list accompanying  
this manual for the receiver brands and models we support.)  
The only control mechanism that these receivers have in  
common is an infrared (IR) remote control. Because of this,  
the P80 Media Adapter acts as the remote control for each  
receiver that is certified to work with it.  
Caution: Be sure to install, configure, and test the external  
receiver and channel guide for the first P80 console before you  
perform the procedures in this chapter for the other consoles.  
Once an IR transmitter is attached to each receiver, it cannot be  
removed easily.

Installing the P80 Console Media Adapter  
About Channel Types  
With the addition of the Media Adapter, the P80 console  
supports an extremely wide variety of television (TV) and  
video formats. In addition, working with an external receiver,  
the console can support some formats in more than one way.  
For example, some receivers can accept a combination of  
satellite, cable, and Internet channels, passing all of them to  
the console through an HDMI cable.  
The following figure and table show the possible paths that  
TV and video signals can take to reach the P80 consoles in a  
typical facility.  
Note: Some of these signal paths may not be installed at your  
facility.

Table 1. Signal path comments  
Element Comments  
Various incoming types of TV and video signals reach  
your facility from a combination of cable, satellite,  
broadcast, and Internet sources.  
The local head end equipment at the facility receives  
cable, terrestrial broadcast, and satellite TV channels and  
reassigns them to other channel numbers if necessary.  
External receivers installed next to each P80 console  
receive cable TV, satellite TV, and Internet Protocol  
(IP)-based video signals and reassigns them to other  
channel numbers if necessary.  
Note: The specific types of signals available through the  
external receiver may vary depending on its brand and  
model. Refer to the documentation accompanying your  
receivers for more information.  
TV signals from the head end reach the console through a  
coaxial cable. The cable is connected to the console's  
internal tuner through an F-type connector.  
Internet-based (IP) video segments and playlists reach  
the console through its Ethernet connection.  
Video signals from the external adapter reach the console  
through its HDMI connector.  
To avoid confusion, this manual describes incoming channels  
in terms of how they reach the consoles.

Configuring Receivers  
To configure and test the external receivers that you plan to  
use with P80 consoles, you must have the following tools  
available:  
HDMI-compatible monitor capable of displaying a 720p  
signal at 60 frames per second  
Infrared remote control from one of the receivers  
Important: Before you start to configure the receivers, review and  
familiarize yourself with their instructions. You must know how to  
reach the configuration menus before you begin the following  
procedure.  
Tip: If possible, configure the receivers before you arrive at  
the fitness facility. This prevents you from carrying the  
monitor around the facility to configure each receiver as you  
install it.  
To configure each receiver:  
1. Connect the receiver’s power supply to the receiver and  
to an AC power outlet.  
2. Connect the monitor to the receiver.  
3. Connect the receiver to a source of an appropriate  
television signal.  
4. Turn on the receiver and use its configuration menus to  
select the following options:  
720p resolution (1280 x 720) x 60 fps  
Closed captioning (if the facility requires that closed  
captioning be available, you must configure it within  
the receivers)

Creating the Channel List  
While one of the receivers is connected and operating, create  
a list of the channels that should eventually be available in the  
channel guide on the P80 consoles. For each channel, note  
the digit sequence that you must enter through the remote  
control to select the channel directly (without using the  
"channel up" and "channel down" buttons).  
Tip: In many cases, the channel listing furnished by the  
facility's TV service provider contains the digit sequence  
information you will need.  
If you are using I-O DATA receivers, choose the twelve  
channels that the facility’s owner wants to offer. Program  
these channels into the quick selection list, while making note  
of which channel is assigned to which quick selection key.  
Important: When configuring or moving a DirecTV receiver, do  
not press its Resolution key.

Attaching HDMI and Remote Control Cables  
to Consoles  
Before you remove the access cover from a  
WARNING  
P80 console or change any of its connections,  
make sure that it is disconnected from its  
power source. If the console is already  
installed on a piece of fitness equipment, make  
sure that the equipment is disconnected from  
its power source as well.  
When you remove the access cover from the back of each  
P80 console, you will see two cables that have already been  
connected inside the console housing, as shown in the  
following figure and table.

After you have routed the HDMI extender cable and the  
remote control cable through the framework of the fitness  
equipment and the console mount, attach them to these  
connectors.  
Note: For specific information about routing cables through  
the fitness equipment, refer to the assembly guide for the  
specific equipment model you are working with (AMT, EFX,  
treadmill, or bike).

Installing the P80 Console Media Adapter  
Installing Receivers in Junction Boxes  
Each external receiver in your facility must be housed in a  
high-capacity junction box. This enclosure is a direct  
replacement for an existing T-junction; its ventilation slots  
and elevated receiver platform keep the receiver cool during  
use, while space has been set aside on its lower level for the  
receiver’s power supply.  
When you place the receiver in the junction box, position it so  
that its controls face upward and its connectors face  
downward, as shown in the following figure.  
Figure 3: Receiver and cable slot positioning  
Note: If you need to pass the HDMI and remote control  
cables through the back of the junction box, insert them into  
the slot in the base of the box (shown in the previous figure).  
To close off unused raceway openings in the box, insert an  
end cap as shown in the following figure.  
Figure 4: End cap installation in junction box

Connecting Receivers  
The IR transmitter is fitted with an adhesive foam gasket.  
When attached to a receiver, this gasket keeps the  
transmitter positioned correctly and seals out any room light  
that filters in to the junction box.  
Important: The foam gasket is lined with an extremely strong,  
permanent adhesive. Do not remove the liner from the gasket until  
you are ready to install the IR transmitter.  
To connect a receiver:  
1. If necessary, attach the power supply cable to the power  
connector on the receiver.  
2. Attach one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI extender  
cable leading out of the piece of fitness equipment on  
which you are currently working.  
3. Attach the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI jack  
on the receiver.  
4. Locate the IR port on the receiver. This port is usually a  
small, transparent opening in the front panel of the  
receiver, but it may be designed to be difficult to see.  
Important: If you are not sure about where the IR port is,  
refer to the documentation for the receiver or contact the  
receiver's manufacturer.

5. Position the IR transmitter so that the gasket can  
surround the IR port without placing any strain on the  
remote control cable.  
6. Remove the liner from the gasket.  
7. Make sure the gasket does not block any part of the IR  
port, then press the IR transmitter into place as shown in  
the following figure.

Configuring P80 Consoles  
After the external receivers have been installed and  
configured, configuring P80 consoles to recognize them  
involves the following tasks:  
Activating the Media Adapter on each P80 console  
Building the channel list on the first console  
Exporting the finished channel list from the first console  
to the others  
This chapter discusses how to perform these tasks.  
Editing the Channel Guide  
Each P80 console contains a formatted text file, called  
channel-guide.json, that describes the channel guide on that  
console. Precor provides a software utility called the Precor  
Channel Editor that makes creating or modifying this file easy.  
Precor Customer Support will send you an email message  
containing a hypertext link. Clicking the link downloads a .zip  
archive file, which contains the installer and the user guide for  
the utility. Refer to the user guide for instructions on how to  
create and edit the channel guide file.

Installing the P80 Console Media Adapter  
Troubleshooting  
If you encounter problems with the Media Adapter, please  
check the common solutions in the following table before  
contacting Precor Customer Support or your Precor dealer.  
Problem  
Possible Solutions  
No picture or sound is  
played on one or more  
channels.  
Verify that all cables are in place  
and fully connected.  
Verify that the dialing sequences  
set in the channel guide are  
correct.  
If you are using I-O DATA  
receivers, check that the quick  
selection list on the receiver has  
been set up correctly.  
Check that the receiver is still set  
to 720p. If not, use a remote  
control to reconfigure the  
receiver.  
The cable channels (or the  
HDMI channels) on the  
channel guide are not  
displayed correctly.  
The P80 console cannot receive  
both HDMI channels and cable  
channels at the same time.  
After the user changes the  
channel, the text messages  
describing the new channel  
remain on the screen for  
seven seconds or more.  
If you are using I-O DATA  
receivers, check that the quick  
selection list on the receiver has  
been set up correctly and that the  
channel guide on the P80 console  
is using it.  
Some receiver manufacturers  
design this behavior into their  
software, and there is no way to  
deactivate it.

Removing and Replacing the IR Transmitter  
Under most circumstances, Precor does not recommend  
removing the IR transmitter once it has been mounted on the  
external receiver. However, you may need to remove a  
transmitter for one of the following reasons:  
The transmitter is not operating correctly.  
The transmitter's programming has been lost or  
corrupted, requiring you to reconfigure it using a remote  
control.  
Before you remove the transmitter, make sure you have the  
following items available:  
A short piece of black thread, slightly longer than the  
transmitter is wide  
A replacement for the transmitter (if it is defective) or the  
adhesive gasket (if the transmitter can be reused)  
To remove the IR transmitter:  
1. Pull the thread tight and position it against the surface of  
the external receiver.  
2. While keeping the thread tight, move it across the surface  
of the receiver so that it cuts through the adhesive gasket  
as close to the receiver as possible.  
3. Lift the IR transmitter off of the receiver.  
4. Remove as much gasket material from the receiver and  
the IR transmitter as possible.  
5. If you can reuse the same IR transmitter, remove the  
backing from one side of the new adhesive gasket. Apply  
the new gasket to the transmitter in place of the old  
gasket.  
Once the surface of the receiver has been cleaned, you can  
replace the IR transmitter using the same steps as you used to  
mount it originally (refer to Connecting Receivers).
