More about RF Modulators

Modulation in its most basic definition is the mixing of two sinusoidal signals. The RF modulator takes an input signal and outputs a modulated signal to be transmitted as a video channel to any number of connected TVs. RF Modulators are used to distribute video in widely diverse installations, including stadiums, arenas, office buildings, college campuses, houses of worship, sports bars, and restaurants

Full Description & Specifications

The QMOD-HDMI RGB is a professional dual-channel frequency-agile RF Modulator / Encoder for distributing HD video content over CATV systems to an unlimited number of televisions or standalone HDTV Tuners. The unit is ideal for distributing live video from satellite receivers or cable boxes, or digital signage content from media players or PCs. Dual-channel operation is standard, creating two virtual programs on one physical RF channel. Encoding can be MPEG-2 or H.264. The latest generation now has an adjustable RF output level up to 45 dBmV.

Dual hardware scalers accept content up to 1080p and compensate for non-broadcast and PAL frame rates. The QMOD-HDMI RGB can simultaneously output the content as a Multicast or Unicast IPTV stream. Options include easy front-panel setup, dual-language SAP audio, and Emergency Alert System. Dual unit rack mounting offers up to four programs per rack unit, with the ability to mix models to handle HDMI, SDI, Component, RGBHV and NTSC video sources.
