Analogue recording in the form of text, photos or films on magnetic tape, and even classic cinema and private films, recorded on 8mm and 16mm tapes is still a significant part of archives, especially of the middle and older generation. Since today a modern system based on digital recording is universally and irrevocably binding, the digitization of old analogue resources is a necessity.
There is also a necessity to use appropriate devices to watch and/or hear video from old analog devices. Numerous electronic devices are used for this purpose. Among them there are the methods proposed by Thor Broadcast Company.
This Device is a 4 CVBS Encoder that Converts Analog Video to MPEG IP or ASI. All programs are multiplexed to MPTS outputs on ASI and IP. With this Unit SPTS Outputs are available for all programs on IP.
Features
Real Time H.264 Hardware Encoder with 4 Analog Inputs
Independent control for encoding parameters on each channel
Provides all programs as MPTS outputs on both ASI and IP
Provides single program IP streams as 4 SPTS IP Outputs over UDP/RTP/RTSP
Includes ASI input for multiplexing an additional ASI program
This RF Modulator has 4 HDMi inputs and Closed Caption. The platform provides 5 full RF carrier outputs for generating channels from content ingested through the ASI input. Encoding in either MPEG2 or H.264 is provided for 4 crystal clear video streams up to 1080p 60 each HDMI to coax , HDMI to IPTV ,HDMI over coax
Features
Broadcast over existing Coaxial Cabling to an unlimited number of Televisions with FULL HD
Perfect for Professional Stadiums and Arena's

While most of the world has moved onto HD video and distribution; there is a still an obvious amount of SD Analog devices that are used to broadcast, view, stream older SD programming, because of this, Thor still carrries a lot of modern encoders which can utilize the older video sources.
