ZeeVee HDb420 HDBridge QAM Modulator/Encoder Module with 480p Resolution

Each HDbridge module connects to a satellite or cable receiver or other component video source and converts that signal in an HD digital cable (QAM) channel that can be received by any HDTV over standard coax wiring.

Key Features

• Modules come in three resolutions – optimize value by matching the native resolution of your sources, connected by high-resolution component video (Y, Pr, Pb) connections.
• DVD Quality at 480 – with component video, even SD (480) sources deliver stunning DVD performance and full digital quality while respecting content broadcast requirements.
• Digital Audio – Dolby AC-3 pass-through or PCM encoding.
• Select broadcast channel via a simple front-panel interface – up and running in minutes.
• Integrated Closed Caption support – required for ADA compliance in many applications.
• Available HDbridge Rack Chassis holds and powers up to eight modules, and contains a prewired RF combiner and amplifier.
