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
|
looks good. is HRC and QAM same thing?
|
That unit is similar but also includes closed captions
|
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
|
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
|
LOL I do work with fiber cable, cool
|
those units are really simple to use, plug and play
|
but this is an extender only right? I don't see how can I connect multiple TVs
|
you'd have to send them individually
|
or you can use a modulator
|
and then buy separate IR products
|
ok, I have the cable box HDMI output right connected to what product? and from there to each tv with the extender
|
each TV can receive COAX cable instead of fiber
|
All of our HDMI modulators can be found at that link, we have a few higher-end options and lower-end options
if you require rackmount, the least expensive One HDMI input modulator is this one
We have less expensive units in a compact format
|
So if you do not have Coax at that one TV, do you have any other
cabling that goes there?
Maybe Ethernet Cable RJ45?
Then you can use this
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4k-hdmi-over-ip-ethernet-cat6-rj45-extender-300-feet-8230.html
If you have Singlmode Fiber, you can use this
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/hdmi-fiber-extender-with-ir.html
You could ultimately use something like this
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/low-compression-wireless-hdmi.html
But the range is very short, if there are other TV's nearby there will
be a delay in signal as well.
Wireless solutions are only good for direct line of sight as well.
Thanks for reaching out.
Do you have TV's have built-in IP Decoders?
If not how do you plan on decoding the IP streams?
How many HDMI sources do you have?
How many channels would you like to make?
Where are the sources coming from?
Do you have CATV service that is being delivered via cable or STB to your hotel?
Also do you need MPEG2 or H264?
We have some encoders here that will work

We also have decoders here
https://thorbroadcast.com/products/rf-catv-and-iptv-ott-stb-s
----
Generally speaking no television sold over the counter would have this feature.
Did you go through an integrator or purchase through a vendor that
supplies its own Hotel software like Sonifi Solutions?
What country are you in?
Will you need MPEG2 or H264?
We can do the HDMI to IP, and certainly the IP to QAM; do you have the
available LAN in your hotel?
At what point would you want to do the IP to QAM conversion? Every
Floor? Or are there multiple sections of the hotel?
The more information you can give us the better

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.
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).
