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

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 https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html/21 https://thorbroadcast.com/product/catv-rf-modulator-hdmi-multiplexer.html/37

Question:
Is the broadcasted RF channel will be able to be picked up by a tivo? Does the Tive have QAM or ATSC tuner?

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)

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?

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#
