QAM modulator for IPTV backbone to Clear QAM RF
The H-IPTV-16 QAM modulator is a simple all-in-one utility device to convert up to 1024 IP Transport Streams in UDP / RTP into 16 non-adjacent QAM Channels. This Thor Broadcast high-density IP to QAM modulator is designed to take content delivered via an IP backbone or CDN system and modulate the programming onto digital QAM cable channels for distribution over coax. This product includes a 1RU chassis supporting two individual Ethernet inputs injecting up to 840Mbps on each Ethernet RJ45 connector outputs all programming onto a single RF F-Type connector for easy output into your RF Coax infrastructure. This single RU form factor allows you create your own IPTV to RF headend in a single chassis. All QAM Channels and IP inputs are managed from the easy to use NMS RJ45 port connection on the front of the unit allowing you to quickly and easily access your programming from Thor’s easy to read GUI that can be accessed from anywhere on your network. The IPTV programming input is standard headend format, meaning basic UDP / RTP unicast/multicast IGMP v2 / v3 addresses and port format. This impressive density allows a single chassis to convert an IPTV Ethernet backbone feed to be converted to a full lineup of digital cable DVB-C channels for easy distribution.
In Addition to high-density IPTV-QAM modulators for any application, Thor also Specializes in Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) equipment and system design. Thor’s full turnkey solution product line even extends to headend encoding platforms with the goal of being the only equipment provider you will ever need. A full staff of trained application engineers is available to answer any questions you might have and to recommend solutions available that you're not aware of. Contact a sales representative today if you would like more information on receiving a free consultation and system design.
Thor part number H-IPTV-QAM systems are specifically designed to utilize bandwidth to the incoming IP Transport Streams and reallocating that bandwidth on the RF QAM frequencies. The amount of programs that you are able to inject into the QAM systems is only limited by the bandwidth provided. Essentially you can create a lower amount of HD (High Definition) programming or an extensive amount of SD (Standard Definition) programming. This can even trasnport IPTV 4K streams and convert them to QAM cable channels. The 16 non-adjacent QAM channels are uniquely setup in the NMS so you can place them in any QAM headend that will allow programming to be set and configured in any channel lineup. With auto or manual PID remapping functionality, you’ll be able to set exactly the channel configuration of your choice allowing added flexibility to the customization of your channels. Maximizing these Gigabit Ethernet ports will allow input up to 840mb/s each producing 16 QAM Channels. Creating your own custom headend has never been easier using Thor Broadcasts newest IPTV to-QAM CATV headend in a box.

So if I understand you correctly, you're saying most modern TV sets won't work with an H.265 encoded stream, and if that is the case with our TV's then they won't be able to view these camera outputs on a TV using this product, because it doesn't transcode an H.264 stream into something that a TV would understand. Is that right?
And so to get it to work, I would have to buy something like this: https://thorbroadcast.com/product/4k-hevc-ip-and-usb-hd-video-decoder-ip-8230-2.html
And then take the HDMI output from that, and feed it to something like this: https://thorbroadcast.com/products/hdmi-1
And I would need one decoder and one modulator for each channel? Am I understanding this right?
OK, that all makes sense. I think someone from Thor just called here, returned the call but the connection isn't great out here at sea...
If the new product with a built in transcoder is really going to be ready in 1-2 months, and you think it'll work reliably, we could definitely wait for that. In fact, if you have a price for it, we could even pre-order it so that we can get it as soon as it's ready.
In case that option doesn't work out, what about something like this? https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-to-32-rf-channel-analog-ntsc-pal-modulator.html
From what I've seen most TV's will detect analog and digital signals and can integrate them without much issue, right?
Good point about the signals changing when going to different ports. Actually, we had that issue at our last port stop in Canada. Not sure what signal they use, but we have a HDMI to RF modulator that outputs pre-recorded video, and it didn't play nice at all with the signal off the antenna, actually ended up disconnecting the antenna completely. Do you sell such an RF filter as well?
Sadly, I had no say in the selection of these cameras. The one who did select them seems to have dropped the ball on this so I'm picking up where he left off and trying to get this portion of the project done. Definitely wish we had selected something more compatible with our needs. Oh well.
So products like that exist, but generally speaking if you want to
output the signal on RF (ATSC or QAM) the video should already be in
MPEG2.
The problem you're going to find quickly is that American Television
sets require MPEG2; if you happen to have TV's that can accept H264
then that's really great and we do have a simple solution.
However if you have MPEG2 TV's, then you're better off using STB's for
IP to HDMI, then using RF modulators to create your RF channels.
How many IP Camera's do you have?
------------------
Well as I mentioned the TV to view those channels needs to be reviewed
of weather they can see H264 or not.
As I noted, chances are they won't unless they are quite new, but even
some new TV's don't have that feature.
Well realistically in cases like this we have equipment that can do IP
to RF. We have units that can output 16 or 32 QAM channels from IP
feeds.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/iptv-to-16-32-clear-channel-rf-qam-atsc-modulator.html/123
But that's only if you already have MPEG2 video.
In this case I would say using a simple IP STB for HDMI output going
to a modulator for RF output is the practical solution.
https://thorbroadcast.com/product/compact-ip-decoder-set-top-box.html
Then we have a number of RF modulators that will output MPEG2 as you need.

If the IP streams are CLEAR UDP Multicast, then you can use the H-IPRF-16/32QAM. However, I doubt that Cox will provide clear unencrypted IP Streams. The H-IPRF-16/32QAM is rated as commercial-grade equipment,
Another option is to modulate a single channel output from their STB. You can use a 1ch HDMI modulator to encode and modulate HDMI to QAM or ATSC, which you can then use with your TiVo. So, it would work like this:
Cox IP STB -> HDMI -> Petit Modulator -> QAM out to TiVo
We can only do that using VCT (Virtual
Channel Table) numbers, not the physical channels, because they are
too spread out on the RF spectrum.
Please find attached a list of which frequencies are currently
available on your coax.
The device has created blocks of 32 channels, for example, starting
from channel 23 and above. Please set them first.
Attached you will find the QAM J.83b frequency chart and a quick
installation guide for your reference.
. You can configure it in the modulator section.
To proceed, go to the TS property output on each stream, clear the
property, and set the proper Major and Minor channel numbers in the
Channel Tab. Enable VCT on each output (CVCT).
The H-HERMES-64 can receive up to 64 IP UDP streams encoded in H.264 video, trans-code them to MPEG2 with AC3 Dolby audio, and modulate them on a 16-channel CATV RF QAM or ATSC spectrum. An example application is to use incoming streams from the Technicolor COM3000 or any multi-channel HDMI H.264 IP encoder, and transcode them to the format standard supported in the USA, Canada, and Mexico in order to be able to receive them on any televisions' tuner over the existing coaxial network,
