Contemporary Research is excited to announce its fifth generation HDTV Tuner, the 232-ATSC 4K. This new model will have all the same great features as the previous model, 232-ATSC 4, plus video output scaling up to 4K, ability to decode channels up to 1080p, and in a future free firmware release, the option for IP streaming via Ethernet output.

The 232-ATSC 4K is a commercial HDTV tuner that can receive both analog and digital off-air, analog, and clear QAM cable channels, controllable via RS-232, Ethernet, and IR. Full interactive control and configuration is also available from onboard Web pages. The 232-ATSC 4K is compatible with control systems from AMX, Crestron, Extron, RTI and others. At the same time, the new 232-ATSC 4K tuners are fully compatible with RS-232, Telnet, and IR commands for previous ATSC tuners.

“We are excited to offer new features to our ATSC tuner series, many of which are requested by AV integrators and customers. Our tuners have been proven in thousands of installations and are constantly improved in response to user demand and advances in technology,” says Scott Hetzler, President and Chief Engineer.

The 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner replaces the 232-ATSC 4 HDTV Tuner and is now shipping.
