8 channel SDI and HDMI Clear CATV RF Modulator QAM, ATSC, DVB-T, ISDB-T
Thor SDI Modulator is the hybrid of choice. This is the most versatile SDI & HDMI unit from Thor
This unit provides up to 8 SDI or HDMI inputs, which you can select either in the options menu or on the simple and intuitive GUI. This Thor modulator has independent input cards for flexibility for digital modulation because it eliminates the need for SDI to HDMI or HDMI to SDI converters. Simply select which source you want to use and input the channel frequency, creating an automated encoding headend device that can clean up your headend and modulation distribution infrastructure.
Each channel can individually be selected as an SDI or HDMI input; it can be switched on the fly using front panel buttons or Thor's dynamic proprietary web interface. Each of the 8 RF output channels can be set totally independently as a frequency and modulation standard. For example, you can input 4 channels of SDI and set them to ATSC output, and then input 4 channels of HDMI and set them to QAM. This flexibility hasn't been seen before on the market, creating a whole new generation standard for encoder modulation products.
The new THOR HYBRID Modulator has an NMS port and LCD display with simple D-Pad buttons for control and easy setup on the fly. It includes and supports the majority of modulation standards found in the world, such as Clear QAM Annex A and Annex B, ATSC-8VSB, DVB-T, and ISDB-T. The Hybrid modulator supports MPEG2 video encoding up to 25Mbps/channel, audio AC3 or MPEG1 Layer 2, and AAC, Thor's world-famous Low Latency, and VCT - Virtual Channel Numbers for increased flexibility. Each CATV RF channel can be set individually, so it does not have to be in a linear 8ch block; feel free to spread out your new custom RF channels all over the existing RF spectrum in your modulation lineup.
