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
An HDMI encoder modulator is a device that converts an HDMI signal into a digital format that can be transmitted over a Coax cable network or broadcast over the air. This allows users to distribute high-quality video and audio signals to multiple devices or locations using a single HDMI source. HDMI encoder modulators are commonly used in commercial and residential settings to distribute content from cable or satellite boxes, video game consoles, or other HDMI-enabled devices to TVs or other display devices.
An 8ch HDMI modulator ATSC QAM is a device that allows for the conversion of HDMI signals into a format that can be transmitted over a cable television network. This is useful for a variety of applications, such as distributing content from a set-top box, streaming device, or another HDMI source to multiple TVs or displays without the need for additional HDMI cables.

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).
Our best and cost efective 4 or 8 channels HDMI modulatrs are H-Thunbder-4 and H-Thunder-8 .
We do have also 8ch HDMI or 8 HD SD SDI - selectable modulators avaiable H-Hybryde-RF-8
The modulator needs time to process the incoming signal and encode it, but we do have a solution for it. Please use an external QAM tuner with HDMI and analog audio output. Now, use this audio as the source for your sound system. This way, the video and audio will be in sync
This is the link:
H-STB-QAM-ATSC
Examples:
40dB RF amplifier
As far as HDMI over LAN is concerned, it's easy to achieve using UDP multicast, and we have a very good almost plug and play solution for it.
For example, you could use the
TX side ) H-Spartan-2 HDMI to IP encoder: https://thorbroadcast.com/product/2-channel-3g-sdi-hdmi-h-264-ip-video-streaming-encoder.html
RX side ) You could use an IPTV STB for IP to HDMI conversion: https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html
3)
If you want to send HDMI over WAN, you can use the same solution and stream the video as HLS. However, this requires good network and streaming knowledge, and it's not plug and play. Specific setup is required, including access and setup of the router.
If you move encoder or decoder to different places, the devices must be reconfigured
Please let me know if this is clear
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
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.
Link: https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-to-16-32-clear-channel-rf-qam-atsc-modulator.html/124
If your cameras are located on the WAN and stream with a different protocol than UDP multicast, then the only way would be to:
2) - Use ATSC modulators
For the ATSC modulators, you can use either the H-THUNDER-8 (8 HDMI to ATSC with no IP out) or H-4ADHD-ATSC-IPLL (4ch HDMI to ATSC and IP out). We could do it as a two-stage process.
H-4ADHD-ATSC-IPLL: https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-hdmi-component-hd-to-coax-and-iptv-hd-8230.html/22
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 :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
Your application is very straightforward, and we can provide all the necessary equipment from the beginning to the end
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.
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
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.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4-8-16-24-hdmi-iptv-streaming-8230.html/216
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-to-16-32-clear-channel-rf-qam-atsc-modulator.html/123
But I would not recommend it for less than 24 channels.

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.
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.

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
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
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.
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.
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
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 )
Please let me know if either of these models works for you,
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.
H-HDMI-RF-Petit-IR Compact Universal Digital QAM, ATSC RF Encoder, and RF Modulator w/ IR return path and HDMI Loop-out to control HDMI Video source remotely over the coax ( Aplication Example: The Modulator and Cable TV Box HDMI source can be located in one place, and the a user can send commends from the STVB remote control and change the channel on the STB, from any other location where the TV is located over the coaxial network, so the modulator sends RF channels to all TV's location and IR can send form the TV to the STB over the same coax wiring "
The Thor Compact RF-PETIT Digital Modulator is already designed to be sleek and easily installed anywhere. To make life easier, Thor Broadcast also has a compatible rackmount kit that can be installed in a 19" 1RU rack for simplicity. This rack system provides the horizontal racks that can quickly mounted to any 1RU rack; the multi-unit sets already come with the rack mount hardware so you can attached the rack ears to the Petit's and then fasten to the horizontal bars in the Rack. Easy to deploy and simple to setup, holes are pre-drilled in the units so you can get your units up and installed efficiently. This quick and easy installation process allows you to vertically mount up to 12 HDMI-RF-PETIT units in a rack with easy access to the inputs and outputs of the device.
