Things you need to know about buying Hdmi over Coax modulator
Think, where you would like to use the device – some appliances tend to perform better at home and other ones are dedicated for wider usage, for example in hotels. The amount of appliances which you want to connect to the converter is also crucial.
Make sure, that your devices will be compatible with the conventer you are going to buy - check the cable length, resolution, supported standards or the technology offered by the manufacturer.
Compare different conventers wisely – higher price doesn’t only mean a higher quality product, but also a range of extra accesories like cables or necessary installation elements. Think about your needs, read the descriptions of devices carefully and don’t forget about take a look at other customers’ reviews.
Popular usage includes hotels, casinos, stadiums, house of worship, bars and restaurants, private headends and theme parks
