The 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner, the 5th-generation ATSC HDTV tuner from Contemporary Research, adds new capabilities to the industry-standard 232-ATSC series. New features include tuning H.264 programs up to 1080p, output scaling up to 4K, and IPTV streaming output via Ethernet port. The new tuner is fully compatible with control commands for previous models.

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.

A full-featured, commercial grade HDTV tuner, the 232-ATSC 4K can receive both digital MPEG-2/H.264 and analog channels, in ATSC, clear QAM, and NTSC formats. Using an optional RF-AB switch, the tuner can switch between antenna and cable feeds.
