The ATSC-mini is an HDTV Tuner designed for use with HD and UHD video displays and projectors in a distributed CATV system. Housed in a new, smaller low-profile enclosure, the unit with built-in mounting wings can be attached flush to walls or displays.

As a full-function HDTV tuner, the ATSC-mini can receive ATSC and NTSC off-air channels and clear QAM and NTSC cable channels. Decoding of MPEG-2 and H.264 encoded digital channels is supported. The unit features an HDMI output along with SPDIF optical and variable-level analog stereo audio outputs.

The integrator-friendly HDTV tuner is controllable with 2-way RS-232, IP Telnet and UDP, as well as wireless and wired IR commands. An onboard Web page enables remote configuration, control, and monitoring.

Best of all, our free CR Toolbox Windows app can find all the tuners on the network. Then click each unit in the list to set up channels and features, access the onboard web page for control and testing, and install new firmware.
