## Description
## **4 HDMI & Component HD to COAX, HD 480i / 720p /1080i / 1080p Modulator and IPTV Encoder Streamer**
**Low Latency, HDCP Compliant HDMI, MPEG2 and H.264 Video Encoding, Dolby AC3 Audio Encoding**
**QAM, ATSC, DVB-T, ISDB-T Modulation**
**PN: H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL**
The H-4ADHD-XXX-IPLL modulator family from Thor broadcast is designed to handle even more applications than any other 4 channel chassis system that has come before. This **HDMI to COAX Modulator** has all the previous award winning features found in Thor Broadcast Modulators'; as well as, several new additional functions for added applications and flexibility. Our **HDMI to COAX Converter** provides 5 full **RF** carrier outputs for generating channels from content ingested through the ASI input. Encoding in either MPEG-2 or H.264 is provided for 4 crystal clear video streams up to 1080p60 each.
Bitrate is fully adjustable from 1.5 - 19 Mbps, and a variety of audio codecs are available. Standard audio encoding in MPEG-2 AAC and MPEG-4 AAC are provided; as well as, a licensed Dolby AC/3 audio codec. Audio sources can be selected from either embedded HDMI or Analog AV RCA ports. For Surround Sound, digital audio inputs can be set to "pass through" mode to preserve 5.1 and 7.1 audio that is encoded already in Dolby compatible format. Two mirrored ASI outputs are provided for broadcasters for added flexiblity in distributing the content generated by the 4 encoders.
This **HDMI** **to COAX Splitter** is an ideal solution for Professional Stadiums and Live Events. Used in more Collegiate stadiums for sports and distribution than any other model.
Programs input via ASI can also be multiplexed and remapped to the ASI output, adding yet another function to the unit as an ASI multiplexer. IPTV is not neglected in any way. All four encoded programs can be mapped to unique IP address outputs and ports in either **UDP** or **RTP** format. The IP output can be configured to strip null packets to reduce network bandwidth or preserve the constant bit rate (CBR) packet stuffing normally preferred by television systems. All four channels can be independently configured for either multicast or unicast outputs. Closed captioning is supported on a dedicated analog 608 CC port with RCA connector, an industry standard for line 21 captioning systems. Any 720 or 1080 line standard video signal in either HDMI or Component YPbPr format can be used for each of the four channels. This box also supports 480i for older TVs over RG6 RF coxial cables. Just like all other professional Thor modulator chassis, this system can be configured with firmware for either **QAM**, **DVB-C**, **DVB-T**, or **ATSC** channel format output.

## Question and Answers
#### [**Question:**\ \ We were reanalyzing our current installation.\ We currently have an analog modulation while the options proposed are digital.\ We are planning to change from analog to digital but we need to make sure all needed equipment for the migration will be available.\ We have to distribute the signal in two separate building and we wanted to use the existing cabling if possible.\ The second building is receiving the signal by an RG 11 cable and we have 1 Signal Amplifier is installed in each building see the attached file for more details.\ We have the following Question?\ Can the signal from that modulator H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL work with the attached line amplifier?\ If no How can we send the signal to an extension building located at 200m from the main modulator?\ Thank you for providing us clear explanation that will lead us to fine decision!](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse0)
**Answer:**
We are happy to hear that your project is moving forward,
Using our HD HDMI modulator your video clarity will increase tremendously compared to the current analog modulated video.
The Digital QAM is also an analog modulated signal, it just carries digital information, so you treat it the same way as the analog NTSC/PAL modulated RF.
All of your infrastructures stays the same.
You can even have both Analog and Digital on the same coax, we can generate any different frequency then you currently using for your analog and using simple 2x1 combiner you can have both at the same time.
It will work fine over your 200m coax cable.
If needed for the additional extension we have fiber optic RF to Fiber / Fiber to coax extender

#### [**Question:**\ \ What is CC input means?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse1)
**Answer:**
CC input means Closed captioning, the unit reads CC from Line 21 from CVBS baseband video input and encodes it into the stream.
So for example, if you have DVD player with the HDMI and CVBS baseband video output, you can connect it to our unit bot of them and modulator will encode HD video from HDMI source and closed captioning form CVBS, the reason behind it is that HDMI doesn't carry CC as a separate signal data stream
It is not necessary to use it is just an additional function, because of some costumes requires for the TV's where need to be muted.
#### [**Question:**\ \ One requirement of the system is to have minimum latency on the channels as\ these are used interactively on pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, control of the\ DVRs and control of the satellite receiver channels. A long latency will\ cause the operator to "overshoot" the point they want when controlling the\ PTZ and similar problems with the entertainment DVRs and satellite\ receivers. We totally recognize there will be more delay with the digital\ system over the analog one but need to minimize the latency as much as\ possible. Iset Mode 1 but have been\ playing with the manual setting and hopefully found a setting that is\ acceptable. The manual is not too descriptive (page 34 of the PDF file) of\ the DTS Delay values and GOP values in the modes and normal. So I am not\ guessing on the values and have a starting point, if you could fill in the\ below table ASAP it would help in my installation this weekend,\ \ Thor Broadcast H-4ADHD ATSC Encoding Delay Settings \ Input Resolution Encoding Type Low Delay Mode DTS Delay\ Setting GOP Bframe Setting GOP P frame Setting Average Delay (ms)\ \ HDMI 1080i MPEG-2 Mode 1, \ HDMI 1080i MPEG-2 Mode 2, \ HDMI 1080i MPEG-2 Normal, \ HDMI 1080i H.264 Mode 1, \ HDMI 1080i H.264 Mode 2, \ HDMI 1080i H.264 Normal ,](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse2)
**Answer:**
I suggest setting mode2 @ 1080i to test. This is a better-balanced configuration.
The main parameter affect encoding delay is the DTS setting.
The minimum DTS value is 50, it could be set lower but it requires higher STB/TV decoding capacity.
In mode2, the DTS value is about 150.
Other parameters like GOP, B frames have an insignificant effect on the delay
#### [**Question:**\ \ We are in the process of migrating from analog RF cable tv to digital solution. The system is used for monitoring conductor etc, and the latency is a big issue. We are currently modulating 12 channels to ca 350 screens in wardrobes etc and the system is also used for the stage because the analog coax solution is close to zero latency. That is also the reason why it has been kept alive for so long. However, it’s not easy to find TVs with no/low latency anymore – even for analog RF.\ We are looking at SDI/SVSI/SDVoE for the stage area, but we won't look at DVB-C/T for the wardrobes where the latency is a little less critical. I see on your website that your modulators have a low latency option with 70 – 110ms and that is probably low enough for the wardrobes. Your modulators are only specified with DVB-T – will that work on physical coax? If not; do you have a DVB-C option/version?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse3)
**Answer:**
All units you see on our website are available in all RF modulation standards; some units like the Thunder-4 and the Hybrid-8 have all standards built-in, so it's just a setting in the GUI, you can switch to DVB-C or DVB-T in just a few clicks.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-8-hdmi-digital-rf-encoder-modulator-full-hd-up-8230.html/238
Other units like the 4ADHD need to be ordered with specific modulation standard, they must be loaded with firmware to ensure proper standards are operational.
Please let me know which model you were interested in and I will let you know if that model has expandable options or needs to be set up in advance with the proper firmware.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I guess the H-4ADHD-QAM-IP-LL (low latency?) would be the best choice for us then - giving us flexibility in the transition period. How many can be daisy-chained? \ \ And do you have units for analog RF? Or should we insert the H-4ADHD-QAM-IP-LL after the old analog system?\ Also; we have a text system for translation in all the seats in the venue and this system has a mirrored output on normal HDMI - can this be converted to Closed Caption? Alternatively, I will ask the vendor Marconi if the RS233 feed can be converted to the CC standard...](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse4)
**Answer:**
You can daisy chain as many units as you like, each unit would generate different channels, for example the first would generate ch 2,3,4,5 the second 6,7,8,9, We have 135 channels available, so in theory, we can combine 33 modulators, modulating on the different frequencies ( different channels).
QAM channels are actually very similar to analog channels, they also occupy 6mhz band, so you can just replace analog or combine them together, so on the same coax you can have analog and digital modulating channels, when there are modulated on different frequencies, the frequencies for digital QAM and analog NTSC /PAL are the same
Those ADHD models will output CC as well, it needs to be input via baseband video in the back of the unit alongside the HDMI input; the unit will encode the CC information onto the HDMI video and will output it on the RF channel. The CC inputs read recognize and read the Closed Captioning Line 21, so it would need to be provided in this format into the unit, and encode it as a CC608. this way the CC can be turned on /off on the TV level.
You could also inject ( glue) the CC into actual video than it will be encoded the same time as a Video, but then it will be permanently displayed on Tv's all the time.
In other words our unit needs to receive CC in form of the analog CVBS Video Line 21 in order to be encoded to CC 608
#### [**Question:**\ \ We have a couple of your HDMI HD QAM boxes that are loaded dual HDMI and dual SDI. we have used them in the United States for many years but last year I took them to China and couldn't get them to work with their TV's. This year our show is in Stockholm Sweden and I thought I would reach out to see if there is compatibility or if I would need different boxes. The download of the manual isn't working FYI. I get pages with squares on it. The in-house guy at the venue says "We use 8MHz channel bandwidth, modulation 256QAM max. 40Mbit/sec. /8MHz." What I can't tell is if the boxes I have to do that exactly. any help would be great. thank you](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse5)
**Answer:**
So essentially they have different standards than us. In America we use QAM 256 Annex B; in Europe, they use QAM 256 Annex A; In China, they use an RF standard called DTMB; other parts of the world use DVB-T or ISDB-T; So Television sets have built-in Tuners that can see the RF standard that is generally used in that country; so you can't just take a modulator from one country that uses a different standard and expect it to work. In the states we commonly use QAM and ATSC for over the air; both of which are 6Mhz bandwidth; DVBT I know is 8Mhz step; so again they are not interchangeable.
We have 8ch HDMI SDI Digital modulator with all world RF modulation standards, this is the link to H-HYBRYD-RF-8

#### [**Question:**\ \ I have 2 types of TVs(LG's and Samsung) that I am trying to feed 1080P60 over QAM. However, when selecting H264 setting under the Input Video Format I found that Samsung TV's do not see the video signal from our encoder when H264 is selected. I am struggling to find a setting that works with both TV's. Do you have preset information for each brand of TV's capabilities? Also under the Auto-Config button, there is a list of video resolutions that can be chosen from but there is not 1080P resolution that can be chosen. Will this be available in a future update?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse6)
**Answer:**
Every TV manufacturer has different settings and options. We suggest being consistent when purchasing televisions. We use MPEG2 in America as our primary encoding protocol, so the vast majority of TV's will only be able to see MPEG2; there are a few brands that do have H264 available, however that is very, very rare. So if you are using this type of encoder in an office, or bar, chances are that you will have to use MPEG2 and NOT H264, because all tv's can see MPEG2. I suggest you use that protocol or purchase tv's that can see H264.
Most of our Modulators, including H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL, can encoder video as MPEG2 and H.264, please log in to the unit, in Input in encoding section, please select MPEG2
#### [**Question:**\ \ I intend to use this modulator for MDU Video insertion purposes.Will your this modulator work with the Comcast Set To Box, QAM channel 134 and display channel 1851,1852,1853,1854,1855,1855,1856,1857,18581859, 1860 or 1901. How to set it up.

**Answer:**
Our 4 ch H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL worked on the Comcast system as an inserted channel.
We have simple GUI instructions on how to set it up, we can percent it everything before the shipping, so it would be just plugged and play.
We have also other similar modulators for 1,2,8 and 12channels.
We have great flexible products and technical support

#### [**Question:**\ \ I'm working on improving my bases TV system. I'd like to be able to take a few laptops and display some PowerPoint slides. I'm looking at the H-4HDMI-QAM IPLL but don't know which one to go with. The ATSC, or QAM, or DVBt version. Can someone help me choose the correct one? We use a lot of the Blonder Tongue AMCM-860D's for our other channels. We are located within Phoenix, AZ.\ \- It comes up as cable.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse8)
**Answer:**
That is an excellent choice, and for the RF output option you'd most likely go with QAM.
DVBT is a foreign standard, since you mention you're in AZ, that won't work for you.
ATSC is standard 8VSB Off Air Antenna; so modulators can be used in this standard if you have an antenna RF infrastructure and then would like to add some custom cable channels of your own. So QAM is your bet; my assumption is that is what your Blonder Tongue units are. Oddly enough I researched that model and it is actually NTSC; which is the old analog variety of RF. So I'm not sure if you can purchase those in QAM or ATSC or they are only NTSC. The easy answer to find out is if you go to a TV on premise and do a channel scan to find channels on the coax plugged in the back, do you do Cable Scan or Off air Scan?
\- Okay so then they are QAM units. So the H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL is the unit you'd want to select.
#### [**Question:**\ \ We are looking to upgrade our current Radiant Communication MDU Encoder QRF-5000-1-m. We would like to upgrade to have an HDMI input instead of composite.

#### [**Question:**\ \ How you can use IP TV UDP output from the H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL CATV RF modulator / IP encoder?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse10)
**Answer:**
An IP TV UDP output from an IP encoder can be used in several ways. Some common examples include:
- Distributing the IP TV signal over a local area network (LAN) to multiple devices or TVs that are connected to the network.
- Streaming the IP TV signal over the internet to remote devices or TVs using a streaming service such as YouTube or Twitch.
- Connecting the IP TV signal to a digital signage system to display the content on multiple screens or TVs in a commercial or public setting.
- Transmitting the IP TV signal over the air using a digital TV antenna to reach TVs in a specific geographic area.
Overall, the specific use for the IP TV UDP output from an IP encoder will depend on the user's specific needs and requirements.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I am not sufficiently versed in IPTV so would appreciate your recommendation.\ \ At a new facility we'll feed out local live production along with incoming signals from 12-14 other tracks. The origin of the latter is Dish Network receivers with HDMI out. Of course, we can convert our HD SDI output to HDMI.\ \ The live local needs to be the lowest possible latency, for obvious reasons. It's less important that the income tracks be low latency because there's no live action to compare to.\ \ Do you have a product that will accommodate both? or do I need a separate encoder for the live?\ \ If we get into this, I'll need to please ask you to educate me on multicast!\ \ Many thanks for your advice and great products!](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse11)

#### [**Question:**\ \ I am reaching out about your 4 HDMI to ATSC modulators and IPTV streaming encoder. I see it has RF in. I was reaching out to make sure that if there was an antenna that went into that "RF in" that it could be distributed through the IPTV system? And if so, would it take one of the 4 channels that the HDMI ports are using? Thank you for the assistance!\ \ And then would it be possible to have the rf gateway and iptv encoder go to the same ethernet switch to go out together on the same output? So both inputs go into one switch, and then one singular output?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse12)
**Answer:**
es, that model has an RF input and an RF output.
To your point it sounds like you'd want to combine the 4 HDMI inputs from various HDMI sources and add them to the existing channels from an Antenna.
You can input the RF from the Antenna into the RF input on the Modulator. You can also use an External 2x1 Comiber, it's the same thing essentially.
However you have to make sure the channels you assign the 4 HDMI inputs are not overlapping channels from the Antenna.
In order to properly assimilate the 2 RF streams together, they must be on vacant frequencies. Putting those HDMI sources on existing channels will not work.
The easiest way to do that is with an RF scanner, or just check online in your city which frequencies are vacant.
As for inputting RF antenna and expecting the model to output the antenna channels in IP is something it will not do. The only IPTV stream outputs would be from the 4 HDMI sources you are feeding the system.
So if you feed it 4 BluRay Players, then you can have 4 RTP/UDP/RTSP streams in multicast or unicast.
If you are looking to convert RF channels from an Antenna and converting them to IP channels or streams, then we have a different product for that called a Gateway.

This is our most dense RF Gateway, which can take up to 16 ATSC frequencies, Major and Minor channels, and convert them to IP streams.
We also have this available in an 8 RF channel input model.
Yes, you can connect both the Gateway and the Encoder to the switch; it needs to be a smart switch with the IGMP protocol enabled.
The IGMP works in a way that it keeps the streams in the switch's memory and passes the individual streams to the specific port where the stream was requested by any IP receiver or decoder.
This is more detailed explanation how the IGMP works:
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a communication protocol used to manage the membership of Internet Protocol (IP) multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts and adjacent multicast routers to establish multicast group memberships. It plays a crucial role in enabling efficient network resource usage, especially for services like multicast video streaming. Here’s a simplified explanation of how IGMP works with multicast video streams and how it helps preserve bandwidth while allowing video access to anyone on the LAN network:
### Multicast Video Streaming
1. **Multicast Streaming**: Unlike unicast streaming, where a separate copy of the video stream is sent to each requester, multicast streaming sends only one copy of the video stream to the network, regardless of the number of requesters. This method significantly reduces bandwidth usage.
2. **Group Membership**: Devices that wish to receive a specific multicast video stream will join a multicast group. The multicast group has a specific IP address that represents all devices interested in receiving the video stream associated with that group.
### How IGMP Works
1. **Joining a Group**: When a device on the LAN wants to start receiving a multicast stream, it sends an IGMP message indicating its desire to join a specific multicast group.
2. **Multicast Router**: The local router receives the IGMP join request. The router then knows that it should forward traffic for that multicast group to the network segment where the request originated.
3. **Leaving a Group**: If the device no longer wishes to receive the multicast stream, it sends an IGMP leave message. If there are no more interested receivers on the LAN, the router stops forwarding the multicast stream to that network segment.
4. **Periodic Queries**: Multicast routers periodically send IGMP queries to discover if there are still devices interested in the multicast group. If no devices respond with a desire to remain in the group, the router assumes there are no interested receivers and stops forwarding the stream to that segment.
### Preserving Bandwidth
IGMP efficiently manages network resources by ensuring that multicast traffic is only sent to network segments with interested receivers. This way, the bandwidth is not wasted on sending video streams to parts of the network where no device is interested in them.
### Access by Anyone on the LAN
- **Open Access**: Any device on the LAN can join a multicast group to start receiving the associated video stream, making multicast video streams accessible to anyone on the network who wishes to receive them.
- **Dynamic Membership**: Devices can join or leave a multicast group at any time, allowing for flexible and dynamic access to video streams based on interest.
In summary, IGMP facilitates efficient distribution of multicast video streams by managing group memberships, preserving bandwidth by directing streams only to interested receivers, and enabling open access to video content for any device on the LAN network that chooses to join a specific multicast group.
#### [**Question:**\ \ Do you have digital modulator that can accommodate 4 HDMI input and 1 RF output. I need the 4 sources to be modulated and output on one UHF frequency.Can the 4 channels output adequately at 720? The customer is looking to use ATSC](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse13)
**Answer:**
Yes we do have a 4 Channel modulator that can do that.
Just keep in mind you will be limited by the bandwidth on the RF channel with 4 programs on it.
Model # H-4ADHD can be ordered in ATSC or QAM
On QAM 256 you have 38mbps of data available. You can still be in 1080 @ 9.5mbps of data rate on each HDMI input and the quality is still excellent.
It's much more difficult on ATSC which only has about 19Mbps, so each input would be under 4.5mbps.
An ATSC (8VSB) channel can only contain a 19.2Mbps bandwidth. With four programs on one channel, we would need to encode each at about 4.5Mbps. Due to US standards, we are forced to encode in the MPEG2 standard and the 4.5Mbps is a bit low for HD 720p.
If that is acceptable for your customer, we can definitely do it using this device. In some cases, customers encode static video like newscasts at 3Mbps to create more room to allocate 7Mbps for sports channels with a lot of movement. Yould can put 2 programs on 2 different RF channels as well.
So you can have channels 8.1 and 8.4, and then 9.2 and 9.5. This would be the best option for ATSC.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I am looking to take about 50 channels from a fiber IPTV system that will be MPEG4 streams and convert those into 50 channels of RF QAM to feed to standard TVs in the campground and infield buildings Daytona International Speedway. I am currently using the H-IPRF-QAM-32CH to take 8 IPTV channels and put them into the RF QAM in a frequency range that is notched out for us. I believe that in the near future I will need to create the entire QAM myself as Spectrum is moving to Fiber and feeds from a managed switch (IPTV). The only issue that I have with the H-IPRF-QAM-32CH is that I need to transcode 4 of the feeds that we insert from MPEG4 to MPEG2. The H-IPRF-QAM-32CH will not accept the MPEG4 feeds natively as far as I can see. This would also mean it will not work with what Spectrum is setting up. It seems that the H-HERMES-64 would do what I need done if I am not mistaken? You did state that there is another product being developed. Would that match the specs I have given? Let me know if you have any other questions. I have a meeting with Spectrum in a few weeks, so I am trying to make sure I have put a plan together to keep my system running.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse14)
**Answer:**
ust to clarify, the H-IPRF-QAM-32CH will accept the H.264 stream and pass it to the RF QAM. However, most TVs will not support this because MPEG4 (H.264) is not a US CATV RF standard; most TVs require MPEG2.
If you need to transcode just 4 streams, the easiest way would be to decode those streams to HDMI format and use a 4-channel modulator. You can decode IP using the H-STB-IP, and for the 4-channel modulator, you can use the H-THUNDER-4.
**H-STB-IP**

#### [**Question:**\ \ How to send 4 or 8 channels HDMI video / Audio CATV RF without coax cable, I have only Cat 6 cable avaiable for each TV's is it even possible ?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html\#collapse15)
**Answer:**
the simplest solution would be to use a 4-channel or 8-channel HDMI modulator to distribute the signal over coax and RJ6. The H-Thuner-4 or 8 would be suitable as a 4-channel modulator, and the Lynx Ultra - Lynx Ultra Commercial HDTV Distribution Network on Cat 6 Cable can distribute the television signal over Cat 6 cable. I have attached the datasheets for these products for your reference.

Alternatively, you could use a 4-channel encoder like the Spartan-4 with an H-STB-IP by each TV.

## Question and Answers
#### [**Question:**\ \ Will the H-THUNDER-4 modulate all 4 HDMI inputs on the same rf carrier?\ We are looking for a way to modulate multiple HDMI on one rf-channel any ideas. \ We don't need anything but rf out ok we have different 4 or 12channel unit available](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse0)
**Answer:**
No, the 4channel HDMI modulator H-THUNDER-4 has separate Channels for each input but it can be any channel, for example, 2,20,50 99, there is control of each individual channel.
Do you need to Multiplex (MUX) all 4 TS programs on one physical frequency (One RF 6Mhz channel)?
QAM 236 contains 38Mps data, so you can multiplex 4 programs encoded at 9Mbps each or 8 programs encoded at 4.5Mbps
We have different 4 or 12channel unit available

#### [**Question:**\ \ Is the broadcasted RF channel will be able to be picked up by a tivo? Does the Tive have QAM or ATSC tuner?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse1)
**Answer:**
Yes, I just checked online, the Tivo has ATSC tuner, The modulator sends QAM or ATSC, it is selectable, it will be compatible with a Tivo
#### [**Question:**\ \ We are looking for model recommendations for equipment to distribute CATV (QAM 256) within our minor league facility. Rough specs below:\ Convert 28 HDMI or 28 SDI HD Video sources into QAM Coax channels \ Distributing 28 QAM channels – in the clear, no encryption over the view to multiple locations \ From head-end rack to eight data closets ranging from 300’ to 1500’ cabling distance\ Infrastructure fiber is a single model with LC connectors. (know we need jumpers to SC/APC or other)\ Want to use 1310nm to preserve other wavelengths for possible future CWDM of DirecTV signals\ At each data closet, fiber receiver will feed 8-48 TVs via taps, copper coax.\ Prefer wall field mounting for closets, rack mount for the head end.\ Also, I want to know if the transmitter you recommend would be compatible with the Foxcom AL5R receiver since we already own a few of those from a previous project. (AL5R carries five DirecTV signals plus CATV. For now, we only need the CATV output)](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse2)
**Answer:**
The best way to convert 28 HDMI / SDI to QAM would be using H-HYBRID-RF-8 Modulator, it has 8 independent switchable SDI / HDMI inputs :
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html
For optical RF coax over a fiber we recommend to use the following devices :
Fiber OTx
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/32-mw-catv-rf-over-fiber-tx-45-870-mhz.html
Fiber Rx Rack
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/catv-rf-fiber-receiver-high-rf-power-rack-8230.html
F-PLC-1x8
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-x-2-to-1-x-128-fiber-optic-couplers.html/226
The main thing I want to point out is that these are all 1310nm; will only work in the CATV band 45-870Mhz for QAM 256
If you are sending L-band (which is satellite TV) in the band 1400-2800Mhz
I'm somewhat familiar with the Foxcom stuff, but I just checked the specs on their unit, it uses 1510-1610nm wavelength; so this would not be compatible.
If you have different information then what I just read online then please let me know.
We have similar, more sophisticated L-band gear https://thorbroadcast.com/product/6-ch-l-band-over-single-fiber-extender-54-3000mhz-cwdm.html
And ours is not compatible with the lower band RF CATV gear because they operate in different bands, furthermore, you can not connect a CWDM receiver, like ours or Foxcoms, to a fiber link that is using a single laser, in the different wavelengths.
Please give me a call if you'd like to discuss, if you'd like a BOM for the equipment above for a distribution system for point to multipoint let me know.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I have helped Jared with setting up the new modulator. It works fine but there is an issue which I like to correct..\ At the UOO are also 2 older H-AC3-CMOD-QAM modulators.\ On these modulators, it is possible to set the minor channel number to 0 (zero). That is not possible on the new Thor-broadcast modulator.\ When the minor channel is set to 0 then the channel numbers shown on the TVs are 2 ; 3; 4 etc. The programs coming from the new Thor-broadcast modulator have the number like 5-1; 6-1 etc. I cannot find a way to change that.\ If I try to set the minor channel number to 0 it gives a message that 0 is not allowed.\ Is it possible on new Thor-broadcast H-THUNDER-4 modulator to change it another way so that on the TV's only the major channel numbers are shown?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse3)
**Answer:**
There is a trick in DVB-C Annex B QAM modulation
Please set Major channel to 1008, and the TV will show only the minor channel, so for example if you need to show ch 20 , put 20 in minor Ch#
#### [**Question:**\ \ **Need to modulate an HDMI signal onto an existing HRC cable system. I need to insert a channel into the existing cable tv system.**](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse4)
**Answer:**
| |
| --- |
| Is the system QAM? |
| its Cox cable in Omaha, NE. I just know its HRC |
| Ok, and are there available channels you can use to insert into? |
| We need to verify, may need to delete a channel |
| I see |
| for now, just need 1 channel |
| Okay, well any of our Modulators will work, we have 1 Channel units that are compact, some are rack mount; they vary by chipset and various abilities |
| Will this be some sort of application like digital signage or will you play movies? Live Events etc? |
| digital signage type |
| Okay, then you can really go with any model and you'll be fine. |
| i see. does Thor have a channel delete item? |
| That's a bit more complex because you need an RF filter |
| so you'd have to specify which channel, and we make a frequency filter that would block the preceding program on that channel |
| ok. I know in the old days you needed to stay 2 channels away, but that was analog. is digital different? |
| I haven't seen a project come through that required such a device in a long while, but yes they still tell you to block out an extra channel on each side. |
| However I can have our engineers look into that for you to see what they can do |
| ahh, ok. can you send me some model numbers, non rack mount for now that i can look at? |
| sure |
| just the modulator for now |
| [this is the least expensive option; easy to use, and compact, excellent product for the price https://thorbroadcast.com/product/petit-hdmi-rf-modulator-1.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/petit-hdmi-rf-modulator-1.html) |
| looks good. is HRC and QAM same thing? |

| ok, nice |
| so HRC and QAM vary by one thing, and that's starting on channel one or channel two |
| however, both use 6mhz stepping in frequency modulation |
| i see |
| so reasonably speaking, so long as you don't use channel one; then any QAM product should work for you |
| Because when we discuss modulation, the biggest thing is the Standard, which is cable to ATSC |
| you have cable |
#### [**Question:**\ \ **I'm looking for a solution that will let me connect multiple TVs to a cable box**](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse5)
**Answer:**

| but I'm looking to be able to change cable channel from any of the TVs |
| I know all the tvs will show the same program, but I would like to be able to change the channel from any of them |
| ok |
| do you have anything that would do the trick? |
| we have modulators that can create your own channel from any HDMI source |
| so if the cable box is set to ESPN and you create it on channel 30 |
| all the TV's in the house on channel 30 will see ESPN |
| But there is no way to change the channel from the cable box, without using a remote facing at the cable box |
| In order to do that you would need IR devices |
| ok, how hard is to install IR devices? |
| that would be up to the manufacturer spec |
| we do not offer those kinds of units |
| We only IR with HDMI over Fiber |
| what kind of fiber? |
| it is pre-terminated cable or can I use commercial fiber cable? |
| You would have to buy the fiber separately |

#### [**Question:**\ \ We had a great call with the customer yesterday there are very happy with the H-THUNDER 4 HDMI QAM HD modulator video audio quality and they were pleased with our work but introduced a new desire. They want to be able to stream live audio & video from a smart-phone directly onto the second modulated channel. Do you have a box or way to do that?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse7)
**Answer:**
So, it is possible but if it is not straight forward, it has to be done in a few steps.
They can set up a streaming channel on Youtube, they can stream to youtube form the cell phone then use IP STB to receive this youtube stream and output as an HDMI, the HDMI would be connected to the modulator.
The video might be delayed about 5 seconds this way.
This is the link to the IP STB:
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html)
The other way would be to dedicate 1 cell phone and equip it with direct HDMI output then streaming would be not necessary, but maybe a dedicated PC would be more reliable and convenient.

**Answer:**
I totally understand your application, the main questions are:
What is the encoded format for your multicast streams? MPEG2 or H.264.
Since your Tuner and also most TV's tuners support MPEG2 only, that would determine if we can use IP to QAM Modulator.
This is a link to **H-IPRF-16QAM** IP to 16 QAM Modulator

If your multicast streams are encoded in H.264, we would need to take a different approach,
We would need to decode those streams to HDMI using IP HDMI STB's then use our 2 x 8l HDMI QAM modulators H-HDCAOX-8.

**Answer:**
I attached the frequency chart for you, CATV RF QAM 139 physical channels,1979 is a Virtual channel, that means that comcast needs it to be on a virtual channel. Our unit supports that function.
Each situation might be slightly different, we would need to program it and match the cable tv requirements, Customer would need to contact comcast and ask them following questions:
What is the frequency they require to modulate?
Do they require VCT, if so:
What is the VCT, major and minor channel?
What is a Service ID?
What is the Video and PCR PID? do they need to be the same or different PID's
What QAM ? QAM 64 or QAM 256??
Do they allow HD resolution like 720p/1080i? , ( some companies like
Comcast allow only 480i SD resolution on Some STB's)
If you have some Cable TV technician or engineer or Headend contact
information, you can forward it to us, we can try to find out for you
Once we get the answers we can preset the unit or help them set it up remotely.

#### [**Question:**\ \ what is the difference between ATSC and QAM modulation and how to convert HDMI to Coax using encoder modulator](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse18)
**Answer:**
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) and QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) are both digital modulation techniques used to transmit television signals.
ATSC is a digital television standard used in North America, South Korea, and other countries. It uses 8VSB (vestigial sideband) modulation to transmit digital television signals over the air or through cable. ATSC is a high-definition (HD) television standard, and is capable of transmitting video, audio, and other data using a single 6 MHz channel.
QAM is a digital television standard used in cable television systems. It uses quadrature amplitude modulation to transmit digital television signals over coaxial cables. QAM is capable of transmitting multiple channels of video, audio, and other data over a single coaxial cable.
To convert HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) to coax using an encoder modulator, you will need an HDMI to coax encoder modulator. This device converts an HDMI signal into a coaxial cable signal that can be transmitted over a coaxial cable.
To use an HDMI to coax encoder modulator, you will need to connect the HDMI source (such as a DVD player or cable box) to the encoder modulator using an HDMI cable. The encoder modulator will then convert the HDMI signal into a coaxial cable signal that can be transmitted over a coaxial cable.
There are several types of HDMI to coax encoder modulators available, including both analog and digital modulators. The choice of modulator will depend on the specific requirements of the application, including the distance that the signal needs to be transmitted and the data rate of the signal.
It is also important to note that HDMI and coaxial cable signals are not interchangeable, and a device is required to convert between the two formats. An HDMI to coax encoder modulator is used to convert HDMI signals into coaxial cable signals, while a coaxial to HDMI decoder is used to convert coaxial cable signals back into HDMI signals.
#### [**Question:**\ \ Qhat is the best HDMI encoder QAM ATSC modulator](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse19)
**Answer:**
There are many factors to consider when choosing the best HDMI
encoder modulator for your application. Some of the key factors to
consider include:
Compatibility: Make sure the HDMI encoder modulator is compatible with
the HDMI source and the destination device. Thor encoder modulators prefer
1280 x 720p 59.94/60 or 1920 x 1080i/p 59.94/60 resolution and frame rate.
Data rate: Consider the data rate of your network or setup to make sure you
get the maximum potential out of your equipment.
Distance: Consider the distance that the HDMI signal needs to be
transmitted, and choose the method of output that is most suited for your run.
Some of Thor's devices have multiple output capabilities.
Quality: Look for an HDMI encoder modulator that delivers high-quality
video and audio.
Features: Consider any additional features that you may need, such as
the ability to transmit multiple HDMI signals on the same 6mHz band,
high capacity devices (24 channel Performux Encoder), support for HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and support for audio
formats such as Dolby Digital (AC3).

**Answer:**
We have done quite a bit of business on such ships and seafaring vessels; in this particular case it would be helpful to know how many HDMI and how many SDI inputs you require.
We have quite a few options to choose from in full HD modulation, in this particular case I would urge you to take a look at this product that might be a perfect fit for your needs.

**Answer:**
The modulator we were working on was set to the ATSC modulation standard, so I switched it to QAM.
It looks like the particular TV didn't support the CVCT virtual channel number standard; it was reading physical channel numbers and TS ID.
This is why we needed to adjust it. You will not have that issue often because the majority of TVs will support CVCT.
If you are using multiple devices and combining them together, all modulators must be set to QAM, and QAM channels cannot be repeated on any of the modulators.
Also, they need to be merged with similar +/- 5dB RF power.
I would suggest getting a good CATV RF meter/analyzer; it would simplify the installation process.
You would be able to see the carriers and determine if the levels are correct.
The easiest way to test the system is to take measurements directly after the combiner and do the scan there.
If you can see all the channels, the rest is proper RF distribution.
Please note that most TVs are able to display channels at +25dBmv to 0 dBmV.
The RF amplifiers used in the system cannot receive an RF signal greater than +12dBmV.
You can always count on our technical support. We will always help to determine any issues

**Answer:**
Are there cameras located on the LAN network or WAN network (public internet)?
Do they have the ability to output UDP multicast streams?
If your camera operates on the LAN (internal network) and is able to output UDP multicast, then we have a perfect solution.
The H-IPRF-16ATSC is an IP (UDP multicast) to 16 ATSC channels and IP-UDP output gateway.
Please note that this is a gateway, so H.264 streams will not be changed to MPEG2. The modulator will carry H.264, so not all TVs may support that.

By activating the CC on the receivers, the CC is working fine with no issue.\ \ The idea is not to have the CC on all the time but for the customer to be able to activate it on they’re television.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse26)
**Answer:**
The main question is, does the CVBS output from the STB carry CC on line 21?
It is relatively easy to confirm.
You can take the RCA yellow CVBS signal from the STB and connect it directly to the TV.
If you can use the remote control to turn CC on/off and see the closed captions displayed, then the CVBS carries CC on line 21. If not, then it doesn't carry CC.
We need this CC data from line 21 to encode it into the RF channel. It is essential to have a CC source in order to pass it to the RF output.
Having a CC source is a prerequisite for us to proceed with encoding it into the RF channel.
It doesn't matter whether the CC is in French or English; what's important to us is whether CC is present or not.
Could you please perform this test and let me know the results? It should confirm whether the CVBS output carries CC on line 21.
This is how it works :
The Closed Captioning (CC) data is sent on the analog CVBS (Composite Video Blanking and Sync) signal on line 21.
Line 21 of the analog video signal is specifically designated for carrying the CC information.
In the NTSC video standard, which is commonly used in the US and Canada, line 21 of the analog video signal is reserved for additional data transmission, including Closed Captioning.
The CC data is embedded within the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of the video signal, which is the non-visible part of the video signal between the frames.
The CC data is encoded using specific protocols and standards, such as the EIA-608 standard for analog closed captions.
This encoded data is then transmitted on line 21 of the analog CVBS signal

#### [**Question:**\ \ I have learned my members really want Closed Caption when they watch TV. \ \ So what is the most economical way to distribute/modulate 8-12 TV signals with Closed Caption? \ \ Recall I have the H-16HDMI-RF-AMOD at my current club.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse28)
**Answer:**
The HDMI video audio signal doesn't carry closed captioning data. You would need to turn on CC on the HDMI source, and then the CC will be part of the video.
However, you will not be able to control it at the TV level because the CC will always be present as part of the visible video.
Another option would be to use a digital modulator.
We have digital HDMI modulators like H-Thunder-8, which has a separate CVBS (baseband video input) as a CC source (yellow RCA cable).
The CVBS video always carries CC data on the invisible horizontal line 21.
So, two different cables need to be connected to the modulator - HDMI as the video/audio source and CVBS as the CC source.
This way, we will encode CC as a separate data, and you will have CC control at the TV level.

Is something like this a suitable replacement? 8-10 inputs.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse29)
**Answer:**
Absolutely you can use the rackmount Petit system.
You should absolutely take a look at the accessories you'll need to go with that.
The Rackmount Power Supply
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/rackmount-19-power-supply-16-port-12v-1-5a-dc.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/rackmount-19-power-supply-16-port-12v-1-5a-dc.html)
RF Combiner (you might already have one of these)

Or you can go with a model that has higher density, this is one of our most popular options:
The Thunder-8
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-or-8-hdmi-digital-rf-encoder-modulator-8230.html/239](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-or-8-hdmi-digital-rf-encoder-modulator-8230.html/239)
Enough room for 8 HDMI inputs and CC inputs if you need them.
We also have the Thunder-4 as well. [https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-or-8-hdmi-digital-rf-encoder-modulator-8230.html/238](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-or-8-hdmi-digital-rf-encoder-modulator-8230.html/238)
If you are looking to expand into simultaneous RF CATV with the potential of adding IPTV then this would be the best option

#### [**Question:**\ \ What is the difrence between RF power scale dbmv dmuv and dbm and why there is the difrent meserment scales](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse30)
**Answer:**
The CATV circuits operate in a 75Ω environment. Most RF laboratories
equipped with standard test instruments employ 50Ω as the
standard interface impedance.
In this application note, it will be shown that:
dBmV = 46.9897 + dBm50Ω
dBmV = 48.7506 + dBm75Ω
dBμV = 60 + dBmV
dBμV = 106.98 + dBm50Ω
dBμV = 108.75 + dBm75Ω
dBmV and dBμV
Most CATV measurements are referenced to voltage and measured in dBmV or dBμV. In the classic
definition, dBmV is referenced to 1mVRMS and output voltage (VOUT ) is measured in mVRMS (Equation
#### [**Question:**\ \ We as you may recall do systems using 16 source HDMI channels and 56 displays. Is there a more economical package for larger properties. We have a control system but would be interested in any suggestions there.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse31)
**Answer:**
We do have 16-channel HDMI analog NTSC modulators, but I would not recommend them for you because they are SD, and the video quality is like cable TV from the 80s. These are needed only in specific applications where customers have old analog tube TVs. So currently, the 8-channel HDMI is the most advanced modulator we have.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/16-hdmi-to-analog-agile-catv-rf-modulator-ntsc-8230.html
There is another way to do it if you would have 24-135 channels to modulate.
It is more complex; we can encode HDMI to IP streams using a 24-channel HDMI IP encoder, then use a separate IP to QAM gateway.

But I would not recommend it for less than 24 channels.

The loss in a coaxial cable refers to the attenuation of signal strength as it travels through the cable. This loss is indeed influenced by the frequency of the signal, including CATV (Cable Television) RF (Radio Frequency) frequencies. Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. **Frequency Dependency**: The higher the frequency of the signal, the greater the loss in the coaxial cable. This is because higher frequency signals have more difficulty penetrating the dielectric material of the cable and are more susceptible to losses due to the skin effect in the conductor.
2. **Cable Characteristics**: The amount of loss also depends on the type and quality of the coaxial cable. Different types of coaxial cables have different specifications, such as the diameter of the inner conductor, the type of dielectric used, and the construction of the shielding. For instance, cables with a larger diameter or those with a lower-loss dielectric material will generally have lower attenuation.
3. **CATV RF Frequencies**: In the context of CATV, RF signals can range from very low frequencies (like those used for VHF channels) to much higher frequencies (used for UHF channels and broadband internet). The loss per unit length of the coaxial cable will generally increase with the frequency of these signals. This is why distribution systems for CATV often require amplifiers or repeaters at various points to maintain signal quality over long distances.
4. **Additional Factors**: Other factors that can influence signal loss in coaxial cables include the cable length (longer cables have more loss), temperature (signal loss can vary with temperature changes), and any physical bends or damage to the cable (which can increase loss).
In summary, the loss in a coaxial cable is both a function of the physical properties of the cable itself and the frequency of the signals it carries, including those used in CATV RF applications.
#### [**Question:**\ \ Hello, I need to make an inquiry. I am a technical installer and provide CATV solutions in hotels in the Greater Buenos Aires area in an analog format using Holland modulators. Technology has advanced, and I am looking to switch to digital solutions. That's why I'm reaching out to you. I've been looking at this type of IRD decoder, but I don't have enough information. I would appreciate it if you could share some information about this type of technology because my idea is to receive satellite signals with this IRD and add a multiplexer to distribute the signal via RG6 to the entire hotel.\ \ Now, I need the information to see if this product suits my needs. Another question I have is whether encrypted channels can be received, or if I have the possibility to access everything available on the satellite. I would appreciate any insights you can provide, as well as a price quote. Also, can I receive signals with a 60cm Directv dish and its corresponding LNB, or do you also sell the satellite dish?\ \ Thank you very much in advance for your response.

**Answer:**
Thank you for your inquiry. This is a relatively straightforward transition. You can use IRD's (unencrypted) or even Satellite STB's (Set-Top Boxes) with HDMI output and feed one or multiple 8-channel HDMI modulators instead of analog Holland analog modulators. The video quality will improve significantly.
Please check these 8-channel HDMI modulators; they are the key to producing digital QAM or ATSC channels that you can use for hotel distribution, just as you are currently doing with Holland.
You can use our IRD's if the signal is not encrypted; otherwise, you need to use Direct TV's or other satellite providers' STB's with HDMI output. We can use our IRD with encrypted signals, but you would need to have the provider's CAS Cards available.
Gracias por su consulta. Esta es una transición relativamente sencilla. Puede utilizar los IRD (no encriptados) o incluso los decodificadores de satélite (Set-Top Boxes) con salida HDMI y alimentar uno o varios moduladores HDMI de 8 canales en lugar de los moduladores analógicos de Holland. La calidad de video mejorará significativamente.
Por favor, consulte estos moduladores HDMI de 8 canales; son la clave para producir canales digitales QAM o ATSC que puede utilizar para la distribución en hoteles, tal como lo está haciendo actualmente con Holland.
Puede utilizar nuestros IRD si la señal no está encriptada; de lo contrario, debe utilizar los decodificadores de Direct TV u otros proveedores de satélite con salida HDMI. Podemos utilizar nuestros IRD con señales encriptadas, pero necesitaría tener las tarjetas CAS del proveedor disponibles.

#### [**Question:**\ \ Can you quicly exlain how to setup 4channel HDMI modulator H-Thuner-4](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse34)
**Answer:**
I'm going to show you a quick demonstration of the new firmware we just developed for the Thunder 4, one of our most popular models. So, from our website, thorbroadcast.com, I'm going to give you a quick glimpse of that, and again, nothing else changed. We still have the NMS on the front. You have your power and link lights right here to show it's on. You can also set up these units using the D-pad and the buttons right here on the back. Very simple RF in, RF out for HDMI inputs. And you guys can read more about it here, look at some of the older videos, and obviously, at the bottom, PDFs manual.
Okay, so I just plugged in a Blu-ray player or DVD player; it is a Blu-ray 3D Samsung. So, I just plugged it into Port one; it's actually on this side. So, this is Port four. If you're going to the splash screen of the unit, this is 192.168.0.188. Go ahead and log into the unit; admin/admin. From here, you can see that this is a brand new unit out of the box; it already picked up the first HDMI input. Okay, so right from the status screen, you can see that I don't have anything else plugged in except for the first input.
Then you can click on the encode section, and you have all your inputs right here; two, three, four. So for the first one, you can change your bitrate from 525; you can set that out whatever you like, latency 500, 800,000. And we've received some different information about this; this is what we consider to be the fastest setting is 500, but in reality, I think it's probably much faster. There are certain things that pertain to that latency, specifically how fast the encoding is, meaning the resolution of whatever your input source is. So, something at 720p is going to go much faster than 1080p60. I think it's around 200 milliseconds, maybe even faster. But every infrastructure is going to be slightly different, depending on the TV, the receiver in the TV, and things of that nature. So, it's not a definitive, you know, fast, medium, slow, but you can set it up however you like. Again, this is just a ballpark figure. I think it's significantly faster than 500 milliseconds, in either case.
The next section here is AC3 for the audio, MPEG-1 Layer 2, and AAC. You have your TSID number, program number, program name you can change to whatever you like. This one I'm going to change to Blu-ray again. PIDs, your input source is just going to be HDMI on this particular model. And again, you see the status; it's on, it's spinning, and right here you can see we're at 1080i60. All right, make sure you hit apply to save your settings each time you change anything like adding in information. And if you change your sources or plug in different HDMI products, just press get, and it should just pop everything up here in the module eight section. Again, we're making this super easy, built-in attenuator for RF power. Your standards are all built in dvbt; this is nxa, which is European, generally speaking; atsc, that's American off an antenna. J3B is what we're using here for quam, and IDBT, which is another International standard. But you can set it up for quam or atsc, depending on what you're trying to do. Change your constellation, major and minor Channel, and again, on our website, you can go ahead and grab things like the quam chart and the atsc chart and look up your frequencies that you want to create those channels on. Use them major and minor channels, and it's that simple. And you can do that for each independent Channel; you can actually put each one, whatever Channel you like. All right, so it will take up the entire carrier; you can't put two programs on the same RF carrier on this model specifically. We do have other models like the H-4 ADHD that one will allow you to put up to four HDMI inputs on one RF Channel. With a thunder, you cannot do that; each one of these inputs will take up an entire RF channel. So, once you're done setting everything up on whichever channels you like, see as soon as I started putting in 57 MHz for channel two, this jumped to channel two, hit apply, it's going to save, and you're done. And that's it, quick and easy. The rest of the settings, your network password, you can change firmware and configuration, factory settings, save your configs. It's especially important once you're, you know, if you're in a setting where you might have 10 of these for 40 channels, you're in a hotel; you're going to want to save each one independently. God forbid all the power goes out or something like that. As soon as you power these back on, the settings will come right back into place, so it's important to save your config, you know, however you like in case you need them at a later point. But when you're going through the actual settings and you hit apply, that's good enough for the unit to remember what your settings are. Okay, and that's it, guys. If you have any questions, you can reach out to us at Thorbroadcast.com or call 1-800-521-8479.
#### [**Question:**\ \ As I started this conversation with you: "I'm very interested in this product \[ _the_ _petit-hdmi-rf-modulator_\] to accomplish HDMI to ATSC RF modulation for a Panasonic Plasma TV**that has lost its ability to accept HDMI and other (Component, VGA) inputs**. It, now, can only process RF (currently, simply \[VHF/UHF\] OTA) signals transmitted \[from an external antenna\] via coax cable to its NTSC/ATSC tuner. Does this unit accommodate closed captioning embedded in ATSC signals?"\ \ So, because I have inoperative HDMI input jacks on my Panasonic Plasma TV, I cannot use my TIVO DVR set top box, or my Amazon FireTV stick streaming device. These devices normally plug into HDMI input jacks on a TV or display monitor, or receiver. \ \ They also have the inherent ability to produce closed captions along with their video signal through their HDMI connecting plugs. These devices each controls individually within itself whether closed captions are enabled and transmitted to the Panasonic Plasma TV and presented on the monitor screen.\ \ Currently, my only means of viewing content on my Panasonic Plasma TV is to connect the TV to an OTA antenna via coax cable. This connection is to/through the NTSC/ATSC tuner built in to the TV. Its a standard feature / capability of this TV.\ \ So, what I am suggesting I want to do is use your petit-hdmi-rf-modulator (or other more appropriate Thor device) to take the signal produced by the FireTV stick, or my Tivo DVR/set top box, both of which produce/can produce HDMI signals that have closed captions enabled as part of those signal streams, and convert those signal streams to ATSC RF signals to deliver the same capability to the NTSC/ATSCV tuner built in to the TV.\ \ Ideally, I'd like to combine these closed caption-enabled HDMI signal streams with the OTA antenna-produced signal stream so that I can view closed captioned content seamleassly from these three connected video sources.\ \ So, can I do this with a Thor device (any Thor device)?\ \ And to be clear, the FireTV streaming stick and the TIVO DVR/Set top box have only HDMI plugs that are able to be plugged into your Thor devices. They DO NOT also have CVBS connector jacks or plugs. Meaning the Thor device must be able to accept HDMI plugs and convert/modulate the closed caption-enabled HDMI signal stream into a closed caption-enabled ASTC signal stream for delivering content to my Pansonic Plasma TV.\ \ I hope I've explained my needs/desires adequately enough for you to easily respond to my basic question.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse35)
**Answer:**
As I noted previously yes you can take an HDMI device and convert it to ATSC. This is a simple straightforward application called modulation.
The second part as you noted includes closed captions, which I then tried to explain that closed captions are NOT passed along with HDMI signals during modulation.
Closed Captions require and necessitate a second input from the data found in LINE 21. We apply LINE 21 data to the audio and video from the HDMI through a second input.
Will the Firestick work with the PETIT? YES it will
Will the ATSC channel have CC on it? NO it will not
Hence why I showed you a different product.
Here is another iteration of what I'm trying to explain to you.
This is a 4 port HDMI modulator and will work with your Firestick, no CLOSED CAPTIONS
This is another 4 port modulator but it has 4 additional inputs for CC - this will work!
However, back to the original point; a firestick does NOT have an additional output for Line 21 data; so you will not be able to modulate that device with CC with any product.
I know this is a sticking point for you, so I'll clarify further that without the additional CVBS input carrying that data, you will not have closed caption via any device.
The reason why you can do CC with HDMI through set top boxes, like this one from DIRECTV is because you have both the HDMI and the CVBS coming out of the box. (FIRESTICK does not, so you can not)
So in the case of APPLE TV, FIRESTICK, PLAYSTATION' you can modulate and put these devices on ATSC channels, however you will not have Closed Captions since they lack the appropriate inputs/outputs.
The obvious alternative is just getting a new Television; that's always an option.
Hope this helped clarify that for you.

Thank you for your questions. Please find my answers below:
1- What type of devices we can use from Thor to implement this solution. - H-THUNDER-8
2- Will it be IPTV over coaxial. - NO
3- Will we use the existing coaxial cables. -YES
4- What type of TV sets should we use. TV's with RF runners, F-type input
5- Is there a middleware to be used with this type of service. -NO
6- Will we be able to integrate with hotel PMS system. -NO
7- If we have channels that received on satellite receivers with HDMI output, how can we broadcast it over coaxial.- Please read the explanation below:
The easiest way to implement your project would be to use multiple 8ch HDMI modulators and combine them together.
For example, if you want to create 32 channels, you would need 32 HDMI sources from any device, such as DVD players, satellite STBs, local over-the-air decoders, or IPTV devices like Roku STBs. You would connect all of them to our modulators, and we would create a 32-channel modulated CLEAR QAM or DVB-T signal.
Every TV connected to your existing or new coaxial network can receive this signal. Basically, every TV with a QAM tuner can scan the channels, and you can change them using the remote control.
So, you would create a passive network where the channels are available anywhere on the coaxial network. Please check this application drawing for more information.
Let me know if this is clear or if you have any further questions.

#### [**Question:**\ \ While it's clear which over-the-air standards it supports (DVB-T, ATSC, and ISDB-T), I'm not sure which cable TV standard this supports. Does it support DVB-C (European digital cable TV) or does it support J.83B (American digital cable TV), or does it support both?\ \ While technically the DVB-C standard uses QAM as the modulation type, just like J.83B does, the exact specifications like data rate, number of points in the constellation, how the FEC (forward error correction) is performed, etc, are different. So make no mistake, these are 2 different incompatible standards. A European TV with a DVB-C decoder will not be able to decode the American cable TV signal called J.83B. Likewise, an American TV with a J.83B decoder will not be able to decode the European cable TV signal called DVB-C. And yes, some websites call the American standard QAM, while they call the European standard DVB-C, but this only confuses things, because both standards used QAM as the modulation type. It's just that other parameters are different between the 2 standards, and this makes them completely incompatible.\ \ Now your official webpage for this product called Digital RF Pocket Modulator isn't very clear on which digital cable TV standards it actually supports. Part of the page says " **DVB-C** (Cable **QAM**)" and another part of the same page says " **DVB-C/QAM Annex A, B C** " while the PDF manual mentions settings menus called "J.83B Menu" and "J.83B–Advanced Settings". So I'm not sure if these pieces of text were just written at different times, and you've varied the capability of the device over time with different firmware, or if the writers of those different pieces of text were just not familiar with the technical details so they used technical terms interchangeably that are actually NOT interchangeable.\ \ What I need to know for sure, is exactly which digital cable TV standard (or standards) this device is actually capable of outputting.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse38)

As you pointed out, the Pocket Modulator supported all world modulation standards. However, it has recently been phased out and is no longer available.
We recommend considering two alternative models: the H-HDMI-RF-PETIT or the H-HDMI-RF-Petit-IR. or Thunder-4 or H-Thunder-8 These models also support all standards, including J-83B and European J-83A.

If we need multiple boxes for the above, can we combine the RF into a single cable? If so, do you sell something to do this?\ 2. Which units do we need from you to achieve the above?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse39)
**Answer:**
For the 8 SDI inputs, we can use this modulator here: [https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html)
How are you receiving the 10 sky channels and 4 freeview channels? Do you have HDMI output decoder boxes?
Or is the feed coming from a satellite dish?
Also do you intend to send those channels around your building in DVBT or in QAM?
Yes we can send all those channels through your building together in one RF coaxial cable, but all those channels must be the same RF standard (DVBT or QAM).
We can use a simple RF combiner for this part.
The other part is taking those 14 channels and modulating them into one standard on different channels.
If those 14 channels you receive with decoder boxes and have HDMI output; then you can purchase 2 of these models for converting to DVBT or QAM
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html/239](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html/239)
We would take the output from those 3 modulators and combine them, then you just plug that coax into your building coax which will distribute the channels to your 15 tv's.
I hope that makes sense.
#### [**Question:**\ \ We have Hospitality customer that has still Analog TV signals over COAX Cable and would like to implement some solution to convert HDMI Signal to Digital Signals and distribute to 100 Rooms. They have 30 Channels. Do you have solution that we could try out to make sure each rooms are getting better signals? Please help and suggest right solution.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse40)
**Answer:**
Yes we have some excellent options using Thor Modulators.
Specifically in this case the best option would be to use the higher density Thunder-8 Modulator. This drawing is a great representation on how you can take 4pcs (32 HDMI inputs and 32 output RF channels) for easy distribution to every room.
Countless hotels, casinos, schools etc, use the same application and these models to build headends for the same application. As you can see the 4 modulators go into a small combiner, then that single RF COAX cable can be used with taps and amps etc, to distribute full HD 1080 signal to every room.
#### [**Question:**\ \ i need to order another H-THUNDER-4. so, what do you have that will help me neatly combine the output of 4 H-THUNDER-4 units?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse41)
**Answer:**
Combining the output of 4 H-THUNDER-4 units is a simple process.
You will need to use a 2x1 passive combiner (2 inputs - 1 output). We have these available for $15 each.
To set up the combiner, you will need to set the second modulator to different frequencies than the first one.
For example, if you have the first one set to 2, 3, 4, and 5, you can set the second one to 6, 7, 8, and 9.
You cannot set the second modulator to frequencies that are currently in use.
#### [**Question:**\ \ Can we split it to 48 TVs on the office?\ \- Will each TV be able to choose which of the 8 channels they want to watch?\ \- what kind of Coax/RF distribution/splitter do we need to add to this equipment?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse42)
**Answer:**
Yes, you can distribute the signal to 48 TVs or more. The exact setup will depend on the physical layout of the TVs.
Please review our RF splitter selection from 2 to 24 outputs.
Each splitter has an insertion power loss. The total loss cannot exceed 30dB without an amplifier.
Splitters selection 2-24
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/caox-multiplexers-splitters-combiners-f-type-input-ouput-catv-atsc-or-8230.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/caox-multiplexers-splitters-combiners-f-type-input-ouput-catv-atsc-or-8230.html)
40db AMP:

Here are a couple of possible setups:
1\. Use a 1x4 splitter first, then use RF amplifiers, and then use another 1x16 splitter.
2\. Use a 1x8 splitter first, then 8 amplifiers, and connect to 8 1x8 splitters.
Please refer to the attached application drawing for an example.
Each TV will scan the channels and can display any channel of your choice using the remote control.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I have a dish smart box that outputs into clear QAM. Some of the music channels do not have a Video component which is affecting my IPTV broadcasts. Do you have a device that can add video to the QAM outputs of the DISH via transmix/transmux/etc or a device that can output to IP SPTS channels with a video component?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse43)
**Answer:**
We do have a solution for it.
You can decode those sound only QAM channels to analog (RCA) audio only using external QAM Tuner H-STB-QAM-IPLL and then use an HDMI + Analog Audio QAM modulator to encode and output QAM or IP
**H-STB-QAM-ATSC link:**
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/qam-catv-rf-and-atsc-rf-to-hdmi-decoder-stb-8230.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/qam-catv-rf-and-atsc-rf-to-hdmi-decoder-stb-8230.html)
The video will come from an HDMI source of your choice, such as a DVD player or PC, and the audio will come from our QAM decoder box, H-STB-QAM-ATSC
We offer two models that might suit your needs: (they outputs QAM and UDP multicast IP Streams at the same time )
- **H-2ADHD-QAM-IPLL**: 2 channels - [https://thorbroadcast.com/product/2-hdmi-ypbpr-hd-digital-tv-modulator-qam-atsc-dvb-t-8230-2.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/2-hdmi-ypbpr-hd-digital-tv-modulator-qam-atsc-dvb-t-8230-2.html)

#### [**Question:**\ \ Hello. I currently am using:\ \ VECOAX ULTRA + HDMI Multichannel HDMI Modulator over Coax\ \ However I am less than pleased with the experience, the quality, and the support I have received and am looking for other options.\ \ My use case is taking HDMI streams from IPTV decoders (and one computer) and pushing them through an old coaxial infrastructure. This was working with ProVideo's older model of RF modulator from 2014 without fail, but the newer Provideo devices are having an issue where the video falls apart and goes haywire after 2 hours of a stream starting.\ \ I'm looking for something similar and I see you have a few options that I'm not sure I understand the difference of.\ \ I will need 12 channels (the current decoders are j.83B 64QAM from 807MHz to 873MHz)\ \ I'm a computer systems engineer not a video engineer so please have some patience with my learning curve.\ \ Also, have you heard of any issue like this where the feed falls apart after 2 hours?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse44)
**Answer:**
We offer high-performance, reliable devices designed to create digital full HD QAM channels, delivering video and audio quality that closely matches the original HDMI sources. Our expertise lies in HDMI modulator solutions, ensuring top-tier performance for your needs.
For your 12-channel requirement, we recommend either two **H-THUNDER-8** units to allow for future expansion or a combination of one 8-channel unit and one 4-channel unit **H-THUNDER-4**, offering a more cost-effective solution.
Combining multiple modulators is simple; you just need to select different channels on each one and use a simple 2x1 passive combiner.
We can preset them for you before shipping.
Please review the products I've mentioned and let me know if they would work for you

#### [**Question:**\ \ This is a prison setting. We have 45 DirecTv rec using HDMI output to RF converters into channel master combiners using separate CC, signal sent to 3 different pods then split off to the 1000 or so TVs. Everything works fine but now the new TVs we are getting only get 2-36 channels. Was looking at the H-Thunder any thoughts?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse46)
**Answer:**
the most economical solution would be using Thunder-8’s.
For 45 channels, you would need 6 units combined together. I recommend going with QAM (cable TV modulation), since there are 135 channels available for modulation.
Please find attached a QAM frequency–channel chart for your reference.
The setup would be straightforward: 6 pcs H-Thunder-8’s combined together using an external 1x8 RF splitter/combiner, with the output connected to your distribution system.
Each Thunder-8 would be set to different channels, carrying a total of 48 physical QAM channels.
The CC can be injected through the CVBS port from your DirecTV receivers, allowing you to enable or disable it at the TV level. Some RF power adjustment may be required since your current analog RF system may operate at a higher RF level. Our modulators output at +38 dBmV, and you’ll lose about 11 dB with a 1x8 combiner.
TVs are typically able to receive QAM signals in the 0–35 dBmV range, so it would be good to know how much loss is in your distribution system.
If needed, the outputs can be easily boosted at the initiation point or at remote locations.
#### [**Question:**\ \ We are working on a project to get over-the-air digital TV from our roof to select TVs in our new construction building. We have an extensive IP based network, lots of fiber optic cable available, and limited (new and unused) coax to use. We are wondering if you can provide some recommendations on how to accomplish our goals.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse47)
**Answer:**
We have several ways to achieve this. Please give me a call so we can go over the details and discuss the pros and cons of each option.
We can use **fiber**, **coax**, or **IP**. Since you already have an IP network, that might be the easiest route.
We offer a [**16-channel ATSC-to-IP gateway**](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/16-rf-tuners-to-iptv-1.html/116), which essentially includes 16 independent tuners. Each tuner can be set to a unique ATSC channel (frequency), and each channel typically carries 3–5 transport streams (video programs). The unit converts each TS into its own **UDP multicast stream**, which can be distributed anywhere on your **LAN (wired network)**—note that Wi-Fi is not recommended.
From there, you can use our simple [**IP-to-HDMI set-top boxes**](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html) anywhere on the LAN to display the content.
Alternatively:
1. We can convert the antenna signal to **fiber** and send it over a fiber link (depending on your antenna signal strength). - https://thorbroadcast.com/products/cable-tv-catv-rf-45-900mhz
2. Or we can use **ATSC set-top boxes** to decode each channel to HDMI, then feed those signals into our [**8-channel HDMI modulators** to send them over **coax**.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html/239)
As you can see, we can cover this from any angle depending on your setup.
#### [**Question:**\ \ If there is NO input connected to the HDMI source, will it still produce the digital QAM carrier on the programmed RF channel? I know some other units I have used in the past automatically broadcast a test pattern if no source is connected.. The prisoners are only getting 6 channels, but have pitched if they wanted to add an audio source or DVD incase of a long term CATV outage (Hurricane). My concern is the TV channel scans and if I need to have a source in the 2 unused channels so they scan](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse48)
**Answer:**
The unit generates 8 individual channels, and they are pre-coded even without an HDMI source. If the source is not connected, a static Thor logo will be displayed. Once you plug in the video source, the logo will switch to the video and audio from that source.
If you’d like to add sound on channels 7 and 8, the best option would be to use a device such as a satellite STB with a radio station or music-only output, and connect it as a static image with audio from HDMI.
Without an actual video image, the modulator will not recognize the source as valid, since it requires a video resolution to lock onto the signal. Please let me know if this explanation is clear.
#### [**Question:**\ \ Last week I purchased the Thunder-1 to replace an older SD modulator that was distributing our livestream/broadcast feed of church service to TVs throughout the building. I’m pleased with the image quality, however, there is a delay of 350ms. Since our lobby TVs are just outside the sanctuary doors, the sound carrying out from our loudspeakers mixed with the 350ms delayed audio from the TVs makes for a cacophonous mess.\ \ I do have the latency set to 100ms in the encoder settings, and the previous SD system did not have latency like this (so I know the CATV infrastructure is not the culprit). Looking at your website more closely, I noted that while the blurb under the Thunder series says that they’re for live event applications, the specific listings for the 1 and 2 input models specify a latency of 500-1000ms, while the 4 and 8 input models say 50-100ms. Is this a typo, or is it true that the Thunder-4 would produce significantly less latency than this Thunder-1?\ \ If this is the case, then solving my problem is as easy as spending the extra $700 to upgrade to the Thunder-4. Before I go spending, I wanted to confirm the information with you.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-modulator-qam-rf-coax-output-full-hd-8230.html\#collapse49)
**Answer:**
Yes, this is correct. The digital modulators are actually integrated video MPEG-2 encoders and QAM modulators.
The encoding process takes time, and there’s really not much that can be done about it because compression is a very complex process and requires time.
There are some techniques to reduce latency, but there’s always a trade-off with video quality. In the Thunder-4, we have three different settings: 100 / 500 / 1000. However, real live testing shows that the latency is closer to 200 ms, not 100 ms. Would that work for you?
Another option would be to use an external set-top box (QAM tuner) with an analog audio output.
You can install it anywhere on the coaxial network, take the audio from it, and feed it into your speaker system. This way, everything would stay in sync.

### The Role of [H.264 Compression](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-sdi-hdmi-cvbs-ip-h-264-encoder-streamer-udp-rtp-8230-2.html)
At the heart of IPTV is the H.264 video compression standard, a key player in achieving high-quality, HD streaming. This compression technology is central to HDMI encoders, SDI encoders, and multi-channel encoders, ensuring efficient content delivery.
### Beyond HDMI: The Emergence of [SDI Encoders](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/2-channel-sdi-or-hdmi-h-264-ip-video-streaming-encoder-8230.html)
While HDMI encoders play a crucial role, SDI (Serial Digital Interface) encoders bring another dimension to the table. Offering broadcast-quality video transmission, SDI encoders are becoming integral components in sophisticated IPTV setups.
### [Multi-Channel Encoders: Scaling Possibilities](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-8-16-24-hdmi-iptv-streaming-8230.html/216)
The demand for diverse content sources has led to the rise of multi-channel encoders supporting 1-24 HDMI or SDI sources. These encoders facilitate the simultaneous streaming of multiple channels, providing scalability and flexibility for content providers.
### Embracing Unicast and Multicast
IPTV's versatility is highlighted through its support for unicast and multicast transmission. Unicast ensures personalized content delivery, while multicast efficiently distributes content to multiple users simultaneously, optimizing bandwidth usage.
In conclusion, IPTV technology is a dynamic ecosystem where streaming protocols, [H.264 or MPEG2 compression, HDMI and SDI encoders](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/0), and multi-channel capabilities converge. This amalgamation not only enhances the quality of content delivery but also opens up new possibilities for broadcasters and content providers. Understanding these components is crucial for navigating the evolving landscape of IPTV.

# SDI Fiber Optic Extenders, Digital Audio Extenders
SDI, or Serial Digital Interface, is a standard for transmitting uncompressed digital video and audio signals. It is commonly used in professional video production and broadcasting. SDI signals are typically transmitted over coaxial cables, but they can also be transmitted over fiber optic cables.
The speed of an SDI signal is determined by the number of bits per second (bps) that are transmitted. The most common SDI speeds are 270 Mbps, 1.5 Gbps, 3 Gbps, and 6 Gbps. The rate of an SDI signal is determined by the number of frames per second (fps) that are transmitted. The most common SDI rates are 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps, and 60 fps.
SDI signals can be difficult to transmit over long distances using copper cables. This is because copper cables are susceptible to signal loss and interference. SDI signals can be transmitted over much longer distances using fiber optic cables. This is because fiber optic cables are not susceptible to signal loss or interference.
There are a number of benefits to using SDI over fiber for long-distance transmission. These benefits include:
\\* Longer transmission distances
\\* Reduced signal loss
\\* Improved signal quality
\\* Increased reliability
If you are looking for a reliable way to transmit SDI signals over long distances, Thor SDI over fiber family products is the best option.

## Question and Answers
#### [**Question:**\ \ **I’m looking at the Optical mini-node -CATV RF Receiver /transmitter and was wanting to know if I can directly connect it to the coax coming from my cable provider instead of using a splitter to run it thru your optical reader then splitter as depicted in the drawing.**](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/optical-mini-node-catv-rf-receiver-with-return-path-8230.html\#collapse0)
**Answer:**
| |
| --- |
| the mini-node is an optical receiver with Return Path |
| I have a coax demarc from the cable company that carries both internet and TV that I want to convert to fiber optics to enable me to transmit the signal less than a mile to a fiber/RF coax converter to enable me to use the cable companies box to watch TV and have high speed internet. |
| So in this case you need an RF Optical transmitter; then you need an Optical RF receiver with Return Path, and finally you need a Return Path Receiver; so 3 products total and at least 2 strands of singlemode fiber. |
| Would this device “L-BAND over Fiber Tx+Rx Basic 1 Ch Kit” be more practical for what I am trying to accomplish? |
| No this is the wrong equipment for your application |
| Lband is satellite, which is in a different frequency range then CATV |
| So because I’m transmitting data it would require me to utilize these three devices, correct? |
| Data and CATV in the RF band; yes correct. |
| I would also need to install and use single mode duplex fiber optic cable is that correct? |
| Yes, minimum 2 strands. |
| One to send and one to receive. |
| So for each location I wanted to have cable and high speed internet I would need to run two strands of fiber for each location? |
| not necessarily, it depends what your fiber layout looks like |
| or the general design itself |
| [https://thorbroadcast.com/ is sharing a file with you. 1\_image.png - (Size:530.37 KB)](https://thorbroadcast.com/) |
| in this kind of design you can use an optical splitter to minimize some of the products needed. |
| Are you able to provide me with a price for these four pieces of equipment, optical transmitter, splitter, optical receiver and the little gray box that goes into the house? |
| Sure what size optical splitter do you need? |
| You mention a mile of fiber but do you have an optical budget reading on those strands? |
| Transmitter 4mW starts at $1995.00 but if you need a larger splitter, then you 'll need a stronger transmitter. |
| 1 to 4 and I saw you had both a rack mounted model and mini version so is there a price difference with these? |
| 4 channel return path receiver |
| MiniNode with Return Path |
| how about the optical transmitter? |
| 1x4 rackmount splitter is 400, the compact model is 350 |
| do you offer the fiber optic cable I need in custom cut lengths with connectors? |
| yes we can do that, |
#### [**Question:**\ \ Here’s a snippet of what I need\ \ \ \ This project is for the addition of one three-story building on an existing school campus. Floors 2 & 3 include a total of 17 classrooms and 21 TV outlets. The drawings do not provide a clear explanation of the distribution, but my thinking (please correct me if I’m wrong) would be to include 21) receivers (one per TV outlet) and 2) 1x16 splitters. Does that make sense?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/optical-mini-node-catv-rf-receiver-with-return-path-8230.html\#collapse1)
**Answer:**
I think the part that maybe throwing you off is that the way we calculate optical power needed is in reverse. The splitter is the largest optical loss device in the drawing, so we count backwards on how many receivers you need, then splitter, then in turn we tell you how much power the transmitter needs to have.
You can not put two 1x16 splitters in line with that transmitter, the signal won't even make it past the splitter. It's too much loss.
That's why I'm asking you not to look at the picture, but to tell me exactly what the needs of the project are.
So if you have 21 end points then you need a 1x32 splitter
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-x-2-to-1-x-128-fiber-optic-couplers.html/228
But since you're dealing with one building and different floors, you should be able to get away with one transmitter, 1x32 splitter, and then XXX receivers; I think 21 as you mentioned is probably the correct number.
So long as they have singlemode fiber in place, we can help with everything else.
Just make sure it has SC/APC connectors; otherwise we also sell jumpers if you get any other kind of termination installed.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I wanted to ask, the F-MININODE-2RP-HP, is it possible to turn off the RF output via the network?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/optical-mini-node-catv-rf-receiver-with-return-path-8230.html\#collapse2)
**Answer:**
Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn off the RF output of the F-MININODE-2RP-HP via the network. The unit will always output RF. You consul only attenuatore the RF output up to 15db
However, if your application requires the RF to be turned ON/OFF, we do have a 2x1 RF switch that you can possibly use with the connection to the MININODE.
You would connect the MININODE RF out to the RF switch, and then you can control it by switching to Input #2, which has no RF supplied.

## Description
H-RF-MET is designed to quickly measure Cable CATV RF signals or signals from off-air ATSC antennas within the frequency range of 5-870 MHz.
CATV RF transmission over coax can pose various challenges due to RF losses in coaxial networks. dB losses can occur due to CATV RF splitters as well as the length of coaxial cable used. Different frequencies experience different losses in coaxial cables, and it also depends on the type and rating of the coaxial cable.
Having a meter during Coax RF installations is highly beneficial as it allows you to check the strength of the CATV RF signal, ensuring it is sufficient for detection by the TV's tuner. An RF meter also saves significant troubleshooting time by identifying any video imperfections and ruling out the possibility of dB being too low or too high in RF power
Example on how to troubleshoot a Coaxial Network:
Modern TV's have a relativly wide RF tuner sensitivity, which can receive RF from 0 to 30dBmv, a signal below or above that range shows as not readable, the tuner can't find the program.
Modulator outputs are usually around +40dBmv, the coax has its own RF insertion loss and it depends of the RF channel frequency. Distance and Coax Cable Type are often the disruptors of seemless installs.
The biggest loss is usually related to the RF Splitters and RF TAP's , which have their own losses.
This is a link to RF splitters where you can find common losses.
If the measured level by the TV's are between 0 to 30dbmv, TV will display the Video, if it's higher then an attenuator is needed, if too low then an RF amplifier is needed.

## Question and Answers
#### [**Question:**\ \ I'm in the process of replacing the 480i analog CCTV system on our ship\ with new 1080 ipcams.\ \ Each channel on the modulator is connected to the HDMI output from a\ raspberry pi. The pi are configured to do one of three things:\ \ 1\. stream the rtsp feed from an ip camera. This is especially important\ for deck operations so the bridge can see what is happening.\ \ 2.VCN into another computer on the ship and display what that computer\ is doing (multibeam sonar, USBL, echosounder, Navigation, etc)\ \ 3\. Run a custom data display showing real-time science data.\ \ In addition, we have a 6000m depth rated ROV, which puts out HD SDI\ video. This goes into an SDI input so people on the ship can watch.\ \ The video quality is good, much better than our old analog system. We\ will be buying a second modulator unit, perhaps just HDMI.\ \ A quick question, is there a setting I can massage to get the modulated\ output on a non-subchannel? e.g. just plain channel 66, not 66-1.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse0)
**Answer:**
In order to have single-digit channel without subchannel, There is a trick you can use it but please test it, not all the TV's support it.
In the Major channel number please type 1008, it will be ignored by TV's and on the Minor channel put the channel you require, and just this number will be displayed.
#### [**Question:**\ \ Please explain operation Thor H-Hybrid-RF MPEG2 in ISDTb H.264 norm in Chile with local TV set tuners, similar to Brazil and Peru](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse1)
**Answer:**
according to our experience with the countries using ISDB-T, even ones with H.264 as the standard, the TV tuners are universal and can decode H.264 and MPEG2 as well.
We send many devices to Brasil and Peru, and customers are very happy with the performance.
A similar case is in the US, even if the standard for ATSC and DVB-C Annex B is MPEG2, most new TV's can decode MPEG4(H.264), Transport Stream.
Also, our company has a very good return policy in case it would not work for your customers.
#### [**Question:**\ \ We have RG-11 in the ground. How many channels can we carry on this cable at 100 ft.? is it possible to send the ATSC or QAM over 1000feet and 2000 feet?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse2)
**Answer:**
Higher frequencies have higher insertion loss in the coax. We have 3 different coax cables available for the TV Distribion networks
These are Series 59, Series 6, and Series 11 called RG59, RG6, and RG11. Series 59 is the smallest, and Series 11 is the largest. RJ59 has high signal loss over the length, The RG11 is the best and has lees loss of signal loss over length, but is bulky, hard to install, and relatively expensive when compared to Series 6 coaxial cables. Series 6 is the most commonly used size due to the excellent trade-off in price, size, handling and signal loss. The following information is specific to Series 6 coaxial cable.
Coaxial cable loss is normally specified in dB loss per 100 feet of cable. Examples for 6 cables loss in ATSC spectrum,
57 MHz -CH2 has only .15 dB/100’
207MHz Channel -12 has 3.0 dB/100’,
473Mhz -Channel 14 has 4.5 dB/100’,
695Mhz -Channel 50 has 5.6 dB/100’
Please note that RF slitters add the insertion loss as well, for example, 1x2 slitter has 4.5dB loss, the 1x8 slitter has 12dB.
RF signal can be amplified or if the coax distance is too high the best choice is to convert CATV RF to an optical signal and send over the fiber using the CATV RF fiber optic transmitter and receiver. This is the link to the RFOG

**Answer:**
At first, glance when I read this I thought our Hybrid- 8 would be an ideal unit because it is universal 8 channel HDMI and SDI.
And perhaps in some scenarios, it might still be a beneficial unit to have in the office.
When I got to the point where you mentioned that you needed to pull up the stream on VLC, I realized you needed the duality of RF coax and IPTV.
then we would like to use separate HDMI and SDI IP encoders / QAM modulators :
I think you used them before :
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html/21
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/0
At this point, I need a more conclusive answer on how SDI feeds and how many HDMI feeds you need, so we can appropriately determine the correct amount of each unit.
If you would like to switch the source instead of channels, then you would have to use a combination of HDM Switch + SDI switch connected to the modulators.
Signal flow :
x HDMI source to x:X HDMI switch to X HDMI modulators H-4ADHD-QAM-IPLL
+X SDI sources to X/X SDI Switch to X SDI modulator H-4SDI-QAM-IPLL
The modulators would be set to static RF channels, by controlling the HDMI and SDI switch you would inject desired program to the modulator , they would produce static TV QAM channel and IPTV multicast stream at the same time.
The only thing is that each time you would switch the sources, it would be about the 5-second gap, our modulators would recognize that this is a different video and it would need to re-encode the video each time.
If this is acceptable, then it is a relatively easy task.
#### [**Question:**\ \ How to send 100 HD-SDI sources to 300 remote locations, the customer has 300 different locations and has fiber connectivity between them.\ Please suggest the best and highly reliable way to distribute across these locations.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse4)
**Answer:**
So, you have 300 end locations, do you need to receive all 100 SDI's in each of the 300 locations?
There is a lot of different ways to do it.
1) use multiple 8ch SDI Transmitters over fiber using splitters and run to 300 locations
for 100 SDI videos, you would need :
13x 8channel transmitters H-8SDI-3G-TX
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-ch-sd-hd-3g-sdi-over-single-fiber-cwdm-uncompressed-rack-mountable.html
each transmitter would need to be connected to 1x32 optical splitter than you would need to use 13 8channel SDI receivers in each of the 300 locations to convert it back to SDI
You would need to have 13 fibers to each location to do that.
2) if you do not need to have SDI's on the RX side, but the ability to view to those videos:
You can encode your 100 SDI video and modulate it to Cable TV QAM channels :
you can use this 8channel SDI encoder -QAM modulator :
H-HYBRYD-RF-8
The output from those 13 modulators you can connect to 1550nm CATV RF transmitter than using EDFA amplified than using optical splitters we can distribute that to each of 300 locations. each end location would have fiber to RF receiver, so each location will get those 100 channels but in the CATV RF TV channels

And we also make the IP to RF in a 16 channel too.
I just asked my superior here, we have a massive contract with an installer who hundreds of Planet Fitness and other clubs, they are all doing 12-20 channel headends using our 4 Channel modulators.
I think from the beginning of our conversation when you said 36 I thought that was fairly high.
The first thing you might consider is lowering that number, I know my local gym here only has about 10 or so, mostly sports and a couple of news channels, CNN and FOX. Plus all the ESPN, CBS and FOX sports.
Might want to consider it.
This is the modulator that would be ideal for you.

**Answer:**
Our Modulator can encode to Dolby AC3 2 Audios when your incoming audio format is PMC ( uncompress Audio).
If your source has already AC3 encoded format our modulator passes 2 first audio
Our suggestion is to set all your HDMI devices to PCM audio output and let our modulator handle the AC3 Dolby audio compression, this way will always consistent.
we do not have complaints about handling the audio, costumes are very happy with the video and audio quality.
I would suggest getting The modulator and trying it, if it doesn't work as you intended you can send it back because there is no way to predict the contablityt with all the equipment on the market.
I think you could be right that the current channel master does not support certain audio's, you'd have to check those specs.
Our PETIT unit does have DD pass through and supports all of those kinds of audio's.
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/petit-hdmi-rf-modulator-1.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/petit-hdmi-rf-modulator-1.html)
On the webpage there are several youtube videos we have added, some of which shows the demonstration with chromecast and firestick, and the audio goes to the TV without issue.
Those units have a 30 day return policy, so the best option would be to pick one up and try it out. If you find the same result, then one of the 3rd party splitters or switchers might be the root cause of the issue.
But if you plug in either of your streaming sticks, to the modulator, to the TV and it works, then you know all those pieces are accepting and passing the Audio.
#### [**Question:**\ \ I was wondering if the THOR hybrid 8 we just purchase could use 4 RF carriers rather than 8? The problem we are having is the only 8 consecutive channels we have in this particular system are quite high pushing those channels through the system.

**Answer:**
The H-HYBRYD-RF-8, outputs 8 separate 1 to 1 frequencies, but you can spread them, they do not have to be adjacent.
If you must have 4 frequencies then the only way we can do it is through 2 x 4ch H-4SDI-QAM-IPLL, this unit can mux 1-4 TS's on the single carrier,
This is the link:

**Answer:**
As I noted, it's a two-step process.
Since you have IP camera's in H264, you will need to convert those camera's to HDMI, then HDMI to a digital Modulator to view on MPEG2 television's which is what we use in North America.
Here is the first part. You will need a dozen of these.
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html)
Then for modulation you can use a few different options, these are the most popular:

**Answer:**
The easiest way is to change it via web interface, in this case we
would need to connect PC to the NMS port and access the WEB interface,
you just select channel form the list
The default IP address is 192.168.0.188, you need to set you ethernet
IP address to the same address 192.168.0.XX ( xx=1 to 254, but not 188
because they can not be the same ip addresses on the network)

**Answer:**
1) You can use 1x8 pasive splitter/ combiner
2)
Your picture is correct, but your sentence is incorrect " Combiner would receive one RF input, decode 16 signals and combine them with the other 40 HD/SDI?"
Nothing is being decoded, just simple RF combining , 1 RF channel has its own frequency
We simply combine 40 CATV RF ATSC channels ( we reproducing those unique channels from the 5 x 8 ATSC Modulators H-HYBRYDE-8) with the 16 DIFFERENT ATSC channels
Please find attached ATSC frequency chart, I hope it will clear this up
https://thorbroadcast.com/upload/files/220/atsc-off-air-us-television-channels-center-frequency-mhz-chart.pdf
Please check this chart, each SDI input will have its own frequency , those channels need to be different than those 16 from the antena
I hope this is clear if not please give us a call 800-521-8467 ext 2

**Answer:**
This particular modulator doesn't have MUX functionality, each video
needs to be on its own CATV RF channel, but you can assign VCT Virtual
channel to any of them.
So for example, you can set Channels frequency for ch 23,24,25,26...,
and assign VCT as Major channels and minor channels 3.1,3.2,3.3, 3.4
If you must mux multi program on the single physical channel, then you
might consider this unit:
They have a multiplexer build in to it , and can do separate channels
of multi program on single carrier

**Answer:**
So once all the modulators are combined into one RF cable output; there's essentially two options for sending this to different points, either point to point or point to multipoint.
That essentially depends on the layout of your fiber, it must be singlemode only.
We calculate the optical loss in reverse, so the coupler and distance are the two main driving forces in decreasing output power from the Transmitter.
In your case you can use a 1x16 splitter, you would need a 32mW Transmitter, but also the optical loss in the line and any junction boxes should be checked with an OTDR prior to installing so we know if that would work in your application.
I hope that makes sense. Also if you will be bringing those signals into buildings that have many televisions, you can consider the rackmount receiver, which is more suitable for commercial settings and has AGC. **F-RF-RX-RM**

**Answer:**
To make it even clearer, the RF IN is just a passive RF combiner.
There would be no difference than if you were to use a 2x1 RF combiner. So, you can inject any RF channels coming from the antenna under 2 conditions:
1) the RF channels from the antenna must be different from the RF channels generated by the MODULATOR. Please find attached CATV RF QAM and ATSC modulation frequency/channel chart for your reference
2) Incoming RF power from antenna need to be at the same level as the RF signal generated from the modulator
Please find attached picture from the spectrum analyzer showing combined 16 channels
My answers are below:
1. The modulator has a RF input. Can I connect a TV antenna (e.g: Shakespeare 3019) in this RF input and having in the RF output signals from: 8HDMI inputs + 1 RF input?
**The modulator can take in the RF input antenna signal, however the HDMI ports are only INPUTS; this is a modulator, not a tuner. So you will have to use your own HDMI devices for insertion; this product can not take in RF inputs and output through HDMI.**
1. The block diagram shows the setting of the 8x HDMI inputs (8 channels), but not the setting of the RF input as an independant channel. Can I set the RF input also as an independant channel? In this case.. is it posible to have 9 available channels (8HDMI+1RF) on the users TV?
**The point of the RF input is to use it with a correlating signal, like ATSC antenna, or QAM Cable. In this case the modulator creates 8 RF channels based on 8 HDMI devices that you are supplying.**
This a summary of the required configuration based in your product (modified with my requirement: Shakespeare antenna added as RF input, channel 9 (RF input) added), please let me if my understanding is correct:
**The RF input is a passthrough, so you can connect an Antenna; it will pass through all the channels the antenna is able to receive. Beyond that you can use up to 8 HDMI devices like DVD players, PC, Cable Boxes etc that will be converted from HDMI inputs and create your RF channel on the output.**
These modulators are used to create RF channels from various video players.
In this case I believe you are looking for something to decode the antenna, which is not what this product does. The HDMI ports are INPUT only, the output is only COAX.
Perhaps you can better explain your application, and what you are trying to accomplish; we may be able to help pick a better piece of equipment that can help you more.
#### [**Question:**\ \ On the hybrid -8 hdmi unit. How many service at 1080 can I broadcast on each 6 MHz carrier?\ \ If I start at catv frequency for QAM 14 which I presume will be 14-1 can I do a virtual one part number? Eg changing it to display as channel 55 on the television display?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse15)
**Answer:**
The **H-HYBRID** can only modulate a single program per **6MHz carrier** and cannot multiplex multiple programs on a single channel.
As a result, it will occupy **8 physical channels**. However, it is not **agile**—you can spread them out anywhere on the **CATV RF spectrum**. You can also create any **VCT (Virtual Channel Table) numbers** for any of them.
If you do not have enough space and need to **multiplex programs on a single carrier**, the only unit with **SDI input** that supports this is the **4-channel H-4SDI-QAM-IPLL**. It allows **2, 3, or 4 transport streams (TS)** on a single program.

**Answer:**
his is actually a straightforward application.
Two things we need to know is are you receiving the Comcast feed as clear QAM, or do you have their Cable TV set top boxes at each TV in order to watch Comcast programming?
If it's clear the setup is slightly easier; if you have cable boxes we will need additional information from Comcast and enter that information into our SDI modulators.
Another point of emphasis is locating a vacant RF channel that is not being utilized by Comcast; they should be able to provide you with that information as well.
After that you can use a combiner to bring in your main cable feed and add in the SDI video feed.

**Answer:**
I’m glad to hear your customer is still running our 8-channel modulators with almost 3 years of uptime, that’s always good news.
For your arena application, the best fit would be our **H-1SDI-QAM-IPLL**.
This unit is specifically designed for ultra-low latency applications. In **Mode 1 latency setting**, it achieves about **350ms**, which is the lowest possible from our line.
- **Model:** H-1SDI-QAM-IPLL - [https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/4](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/4)
If the project requires multiple channels, we also have the **H-HYBRID-8-RF**, which supports up to 8 channels. Latency on this model is slightly higher, around **550ms**, but still quite fast for multi-channel operation.
- **Model:** H-HYBRID-8-RF - [https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html)
Both options will provide reliable HD distribution to all TVs around the building.

## Question and Answers
#### [**Question:**\ \ I'm an AV Consultant for theaters and performance venues. I´m finishing the AV design for a new Theater and I am specifying Thor Broadcast Modulator for the video paging system. I would like your support to specify the correct equipment: System Description: Sources: \* 1 x PTZ HD-SDI Camera (QSC). \* 1 x Computer for generating media. \* 1 X CATV Cable TV signal. \* 1 x DVD/Bluray player. Zones: \* 6 x TV Screens for dressing rooms. \* 10 x TV Screens in the Lobby. \* 1 x TV Screen on the Control Booth for reference. Does H-2HDMI-2SDI-XXX-IPLL modulator works for this purpose or would it need to be the H-HYBRID-RF-8 modulator?\ \ https://thorbroadcast.com/product/2-hdmi-2-hd-sd-sdi-to-rf-coax-modulators-8230.html/29 Can the ambient audio be included in the camera's SDI signal to the modulator? Any additional equipment to allow the system to function correctly? Please let me know if you need additional information. I appreciate the support and hope to be able to specify the system for other projects.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse0)
**Answer:**
We have a perfect solution for your application. If I understand correctly you will have the following Video inputs:1 X SDI ( PTZ Camera, by the way, we can supply it as well, we will start selling PTZ SDI cameras next month, I will send you a datasheet.) 3 x HDMI sources - DVD Player, Computer output and CATV RF signal, for this you will need to have a decoder, something like this QAM to HDMI decoder:https://thorbroadcast.com/product/catv-rf-and-atsc-rf-to-hdmi-decoder-stb-8230.html In this case, the better choice is to use H-HYBRID-8-RF, this is the best hybrid modulator because it has 8 inputs and each input can be HDMI or SDI and supports all the modulation standard like DVB-C QAM, ATSC, DVB-T, ISDB-T, and DTMB. The H-2HDMI-2SDI-XXX-IPLL is a good unit but it has 2 SDI and 2 HDMI inputs, you can not do 3 HDMI and 1 SDI on that unit, besides this unit has IPTV output as well and costs almost the same as H-HYBRID-RF-8
#### [**Question:**\ \ interested in the Thor 8 sdi over 1 optical tx multiplexer](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse1)
**Answer:**
We have two options to choose from.
There is the TDM mux model which can do up to HD-SDI or 1.485Gbps
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-sdi-hdsdi-over-1-fiber-optical-transmission-multiplexer.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-sdi-hdsdi-over-1-fiber-optical-transmission-multiplexer.html)
We also have the CWDM model which can do up to 3G-SDi and 2.985Gbps
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-ch-sd-hd-3g-sdi-over-single-fiber-cwdm-uncompressed-rack-mountable.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-ch-sd-hd-3g-sdi-over-single-fiber-cwdm-uncompressed-rack-mountable.html)
#### [**Question:**\ \ I work for a baseball team. I have a black magic switcher that I would like to insert into my company’s cable environment. So that employees can go to channel whatever and access the program feed of the switcher from wherever they are in the stadium. I’d like to discuss options. We broadcast in 720p at 60 frames a second. Is there a simple way to do this without breaking the bank?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse2)
**Answer:**
We do have 1,2,4 and 8 SDI HD modulators available, they generate
Cable TV channels you can easy inset to your Coaxial network on unused
Cable frequencies
This is a link to 1 SDI QAM modulator and IP encoder ( can also send
video over the LAN network) :
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/4](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/4)
This is a link to the 8ch SDI QAM modulator H-Hybrid-RF-8
#### [**Question:**\ \ Can you share with me the combiner model number?\ \ Also if I have the multi LED screen 55 inches and Cardio equipment such as treadmill, bicycle as outputs maybe 63 outputs distributed by Rg 6 cable, how I can distribute the combined signal?\ \ Also if you recommend the tuner specification for the LED screen?](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse3)
**Answer:**
F combiners come in a variety of standards, our H-2x1-RF is $10
You combine the RF signal out of the unit, using the above combiner, then
you send the RG6 to all equipment.
Chances are you will need AMPS and TAPS for that many devices.
63 endpoints would require some planning and due diligence by a
Commercial AV professional, or an electrical engineer.
They would need to map out power budgets, and plan accordingly with
RG6 distribution planning.
We do not have a tuner for your LED screen because the output from
those modulators is NTSC analog, we do not have analog receivers.
We only have digital QAM and ATSC tuners, you can view that here:
[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/qam-catv-rf-and-atsc-rf-to-hdmi-decoder-stb-8230.html](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/qam-catv-rf-and-atsc-rf-to-hdmi-decoder-stb-8230.html)
#### [**Question:**\ \ We need your products for several projects in hands and we would to receive prices as system integrator we are.\ \ Could you please let us know wich distributor for Europe we can contact with to ask for them?\ \ We have on client asking for an SDI input signal (HD, not 4K needed) to DVB-T (if possible DVB-T2 standard) modulator for a local television.\ \ They need too four satellite decoders but not sure if they need the quality of your products for their budget.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse4)
**Answer:**
Please check those products 1 or 2 or 4 SDI to DVB-T ( not DVB-T2)
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-dvb-t-rf-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/11
We do have also 8ch SDI/HDMI multi standard modulator, - including DVB-T
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html
#### [**Question:**\ \ I have attached some pictures for you to check. As you can see this system was done using single channel modulators and DA amplifiers. From the Broadcast Center all the SAT channels + local inputs are distributed via COAX to the Crew network and passenger Network. Each fire zone and deck has then distribution amplifier that takes the signal into each cabin. All routing is done via the Composite Autopatch 64x64 matrix which will also be upgrade to a modular matrix with a mix of HDMI, 3G SDI, Composite (for some legacy equipment) and Fiber. I would like to find a device with a loop out connector to send to 2 or 3 multiviewers for preview and monitoring. With the original configuration the analog audio was passing through a EMERGNCY MUTE BOX that was cutting the audio signal when an emergency announcement is send from the bridge. We shuld also try to replicate this function in the digital domain using the same contact closure from Relay/GPIO.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse5)
**Answer:**
It will simplify your installation tremendously, compared to the Drake and Blonder Tongue AV modulator.
It has 8 HDMI/SDI inputs and outputs CATV RF 8 QAM digital channels
[](https://thorbroadcast.com/upload/drawings/8-channel-hdmi-and-sdi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.png)
#### [**Question:**\ \ One of our concerns if with the Thor system working with what we currently have existing within any of our QAM infrastructure.\ \ Right now we have some Blonder Tongue HDE4S-PRO-LL units that are using the below QAM output with QAM256 selected.\ \ \ \ When looking through your manual I am unsure of the comparable Modulation standard that would work best with what we are currently using.\ \ Could you assist me with confirming what would work best with our current system and settings for that that would work best for us?\ \ In addition I wanted to ask if these modulators allowed for the 20.1, 20.2 Channel scheme or if they were limited to the single 20, 21 channel scheme.\ \ Lastly I wanted to ask if the channels that were selected were able to be out of order or if they needed to be Concurrent I.E 1,2,3,4 or something along the lines of 3,5,8,12.](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-channel-sdi-and-hdmi-clear-catv-rf-modulator-qam-8230.html\#collapse6)
**Answer:**
The Hybrid model does include QAM 256; below are all the standards built into the unit. It's in the specs on the webpage.
**1) DVB -C QAM - J.83B, J.83B, QAM 64/256, (US Cable)**
2) DVB -C QAM - J.83A, QAM 16/32/64/128/256, (European Cable)
3) ATSC - Constellation 8VSB ( US Off Air TV)
4) DVB-T ( European Off Air TV)
5) ISDB-T ( Latin America Off Air TV)
In addition I wanted to ask if these modulators allowed for the 20.1, 20.2 Channel scheme or if they were limited to the single 20, 21 channel scheme.
**These particular models do not allow you to put multiple programs on ONE RF channel, so they are limited to just whole numbers; only one input can go on one RF channel.**
**These models are the only ones we make that can do multiple programs on one channel like 20.1, 20.5, etc because they have the encoding chipset that makes it possible.**

**[https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/0](https://thorbroadcast.com/product/1-4-sdi-to-qam-modulators-and-iptv-streaming-encoders.html/0)**
Lastly I wanted to ask if the channels that were selected were able to be out of order or if they needed to be Concurrent I.E 1,2,3,4 or something along the lines of 3,5,8,12.
**You can cherry pick channels and set them up however you like, they do not have to be concurrent. This can be done via channel selection or VCT.**

Modulators are used in telecommunications to send information. In order to transmit information from the transmitter to the receiver, the carrier wave (high frequency signal in a given band) must be modulated with information (e.g. voice, data, low frequency modulation signal, ) with a different frequency. Depending on the type of modulation, the modulator must change the appropriate information size in a given cycle.
Example from practice: An FM radio station (e.g. 100 MHz) generates a carrier wave with an average frequency of 100 MHz, but changes (modulates) its frequency in time using a low frequency signal (voice, music). This can be done, for example, by means of a capacitive diode in the resonant circuit of a high-frequency oscillator to which a low-frequency signal is applied. In this way, its capacity in the LF signal cycle, and thus the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit, changes.
**HDMI digital modulator** works exactly as described above, using a digital signal which is practically used in all popular applications, instead of an analog signal. The HDMI connectors themselves are a modern and practical solution applied in most of the modulators nowadays.

## Description
## **1-4 HDMI to HDTV ATSC Modulator**
**PN: H-1HDMI-ATSC-IPLL**
**PN: H-2HDMI-ATSC-IPLL** **PN: H-4HDMI-ATSC-IPLL**
**Broadcast up to 4 any HDMI Video as North American ATSC Antenna & IPTV Channels.**
### **Thor Broadcast HDMI-ATSC-IP & HDMI-ATSC-IPLL Product Lines**
Thor HDMI to 8VSB series encoder modulator chassis are designed for corporations or video professionals that need to modulate High Definition video onto RF carriers compatible with North American ATSC tuners. Over the air television systems in this region use a unique modulation protocol known as 8 level Vestigial Side Band (8VSB) modulation. While most tuners and television sets sold in North America support demodulation of QAM-256 under ITU-T J.83B in addition to ATSC’s 8VSB signal, most can only tune to one type of signal at a time. This creates a problem for system integrators who want to inject their own programming into broadband lineups containing channels from a master antenna system. Thor offers 8VSB modulators for use in any application where ATSC signals must be combined with locally modulated content.
### **ATSC (8VSB): Advanced Television Systems Committee (North American OTA)**
Thor encoder modulators are available for all major world television systems. Television systems in North America are based on the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard that employs 8 level Vestigial Side Band (8VSB) modulation. This type of RF is unique to the North American Market as well as the ATSC Program & System Specific Information PSIP tables. Thor modulators that include VSB in the model number indicate they have the firmware necessary for ATSC 8VSB modulation. These modulators will output RF carriers with program streams designed to be received by North American set top boxes and tuners. All PSIP and electronic program PID tables can be set and edited from the modulators control page, and custom PID values can be configured for specific systems. For full compatibility with all STBs such as Motorola or Scientific Atlanta systems that choose to only accept Intel’s Dolby AC/3 audio codec, most Thor modulators offer this as an additional option. ATSC provides up to 19 Mbps of programming, so it carries much less data than QAM or DVB-T; however, it can be used with longer coax runs. This modulation protocol is only necessary when the application requires combining locally modulated channels with an Off Air lineup picked up from an antenna.
### **HDMI-ATSC-IP: Modulator Chassis with HDMI Encoder Cards**
The HDMI video standard is commonly found in consumer and professional devices all over the world. It is a versatile connector with many parallel lines for bi-directional communication. The latest standards support full rate HD video at 1080p60 with new standards being released to support ultra high resolution 4K video. Thor encoder cards support any HDMI input from any device that provides HD video output in standard HDTV resolutions and aspect ratios.
### **Low Latency Encoding Option**
Unit model numbers that include "LL" indicate that the model includes Thor’s low latency encoding option. This new feature reduces the time delay between video input and encoded program output by more than 10 times. Standard model encoder modulator chassis systems typically have an encoding latency of 700-1200 ms depending on encoding parameters and output configurations. For many applications, adding approximately 1 second latency doesn’t make a difference. For other applications, such as live events; 1 second delay is very noticeable and prevents modulation from being used in distribution systems. The solution for live video broadcast applications is the Low Latency upgrade option for the encoders. IPLL models typically have an encoding latency of approximately 70-120ms, making them suitable for the distribution of live video events. Contact a Thor sales representative today for more information on encoding latency.
### **Encoder Card Compatibility between Modulator Chassis**
Thor HDMI-ATSC-IP line of encoder modulators are designed for high quality distribution of broadcast quality video over coax cable. These systems are available in many configurations for a wide range of applications. This page covers models for a specific input video type combined with a modulator chassis programmed for a specific output format. It is important to note that encoder card types can usually be combined with encoder cards for other video types. For custom model configurations please contact Thor directly for pricing and availability. While most firmware for Thor modulator chassis is inter-compatible; not all hardware will work with all software. Thor representatives are available for free design and consultation service. If you have any questions or concerns about a Thor system; or any consumer related inquiries, please contact our representatives directly at 1-800-521-8467.

### [How HDMI modulator works?](https://thorbroadcast.com/post/how-hdmi-modulator-works.html "How HDMI modulator works?")
**How HDMI Modulators Work:**
HDMI modulators are essential devices in modern audio-visual (AV) systems. They convert digital HDMI signals into formats compatible with traditional coaxial cable or radio frequency (RF) networks, allowing high-definition content to be distributed seamlessly across multiple screens. Key techniques include modulation (often using DVB-T or QAM), multiplexing, and encoding. These processes enable efficient and scalable transmission, making HDMI modulators crucial for various applications, from home theaters to large-scale digital signage and professional settings. Their flexibility and integration with existing infrastructure make them invaluable in diverse industries like broadcasting, hospitality, education, and healthcare.

Although it is more and more difficult to find devices without HDMI input, some people still have equipment with a coaxial cable. So what’s the problem?
Well, you can’t connect an older player without an HDMI port to a modern TV with no coaxial cable input. However, this problem can be solved quickly and quite easily - all you have to do is buy a coax to HDMI converter.
* * *
## **Coaxial cable, HDMI - what's going on?**
* * *
**Coaxial cable for many decades was the number one** input for the vast majority of the media players. Invented in the late 19th century for the telephone and the radio industry, the coaxial cable was quickly adopted by the television industry in the 20th century. Its great advantage **is a very simple structure** \- the copper inside of the cable is divided into two concentric layers separated from each other by insulation. The analog signal is transmitted along the same axis, hence the name of the cable - coaxial.
Technology, however, keeps moving forward. **HDMI cable entered the market in 2002** and gradually conquered the television and computer industry. Nowadays, it is probably the most popular input in most devices, eg in laptops, DVDs, Blu-Ray players, and more and more often in tablets. The role of an HDMI cable is very simple - it transmits the digital signal. This type of cable is **distinguished by a much smaller amount of interference than an analog signal transmitted** eg through the above-mentioned coaxial cable.

## **Why do you need a coax to HDMI converter? How does it work?**
* * *
For most consumers, this type of converter may seem like an unnecessary expense. Many of us, however, have older types of receivers in our cabins, campers, workshops, offices, etc. It is not worth throwing away the old device that isn't broken and works properly. However, **if you want to connect your player with a coaxial cable to a slightly more modern TV or monitor with HDMI standard, you will definitely need a converter.**
You can find many brands of the converters on the market. The relatively small size of the device makes the transport of the converter from one place to another very easy. This means that you can take your converter, for example from your office to the cabin or camper - one converter may be compatible with many different devices. Installation of the device is very simple and should not cause problems even for people who are not familiar with modern technology. **Connect the coaxial cable and the HDMI cable to the converter.** Then connect the cables to the proper devices - the coax to the device with the coaxial input, and the HDMI cable to the device with the HDMI input. Then connect the converter to the power supply and wait for the analog signal to be converted into a high-quality digital signal. Tadah! Everything should be ready so you can sit back and enjoy your favorite movie or TV show.
* * *
## **How to buy a coax to HDMI converter with no regrets?**
* * *
You do not need to be expert when it comes down to selecting a converter, however, **it is always worth spending a few moments comparing the products and their parameters.** What should you pay attention to before making a final decision?
Verify the original signal of your device. There are many converters on the market - some of them are very simple, basic devices, but you can also find products offering more advanced technology. Check out all the parameters of your devices as well as the converter you want to buy because some products may not be compatible with your media players. Check the cable length, resolution, supported standards or the technology offered by the manufacturer.
Compare the price-quality ratio and choose a product that suits best your needs and financial possibilities. **Check what each manufacturer offers you and how much you would have to spend** on similar converters. **Sometimes a higher price means not only a higher quality device, but also a wide range of accessories included** in the set, e.g. power supply, cables, and all necessary installation elements. It might be a good idea to check out the online reviews of the most popular converters. Other people’s suggestions can help you choose the most suitable device. Ask your own questions on one of the popular online forums for the tech geeks if you have any doubts.
Don’t waste your time and money for the unknown, cheap converters – you may quickly regret your choice.

## **Coax to HDMI converter - is it worth a buy?**
* * *
This will be subjective in almost every situation; but as modernity catches up with some products it's impossible to avoid. In some cases, other solutions may be better. However, coax to HDMI converters are one of the easiest solutions for people who want to connect their device with a coaxial cable input with another device that supports only HDMI technology. A converter is a portable device that can be useful for more than one media player. It is easier and cheaper to transport the converter and connect it to a different device than to buy new equipment for each HDMI TV. Buy a coax to HDMI converter and enjoy television whenever and wherever you want.
