Frequency Agile, Field Upgradeable with Other Modes, VHF/UHF 8VSB Modulator. PCI Half-Card with RF Out on BNC Connector. Pulls Transport Streams from HD via PCI bus or from External Devices from BNC Connector on Bracket. Both IF and RF Output Targeted at Digital Signage, STB Testing, and Laboratory Applications. Auxiliary ASI Out for Checking TS Data Flow. Ships with Windows® Based Transport Stream Player. Linux® and Windows® SDK Available for Customization. This Device can Feed Either an Antenna or Coax Cable.

Standard Features:

• Transmits real time video or stored video from the server hard drive and sends it to multiple HD monitors simultaneously
• Input: IP, DVB-ASI or SMPTE 310M transport streams via PCI bus or BNC bracket connector
• Output: 8VSB
• When ASI is input the TS can be any rate since it is upconverted and remuxed to ATSC rate
• When DVB is input the bit rate can be anything above 2 Mbps or below 19 Mbps
• Includes ASI port for simultaneous ASI and RF output if TS is pulled from hard drive
• Frequency agile
• Field upgradeable – can be reprogrammed to add QAM, QPSK, DVB-T, and I-SDBT to the card
