The QMOD-SDI HDMI 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 SDI and HDMI sources as well as 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-SDI HDMI 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.
