Video to ASI, IP and QAM Converter

Converts Video signals to ASI, IP and QAM. This encoder/converter will take multiple input types, SDI, HDMI, VGA, Component, or Composite (High and Standard Definition) and convert them to an ASI, IP and QAM output.

SKU: HDE-CSV-QAM Category:
  1. General Details

    The HDE-CSV-QAM/IP accepts one (1) high-definition (HD) program from any of the following inputs: 1xComponent, 1xHD-SDI, 1xHDMI (unencrypted), 1xVGA, and 1xComposite.The DSE24A is a single channel HD encoder with RF QAM and IP outputs.  The unit encodes an uncompressed video source from devices with HD-SDI, HDMI, high-resolution component, composite or VGA outputs. It encodes the incoming video to MPEG2. It will simultaneously output an ASI and IP stream, it is then internally connected to a QAM modulator and low-noise upconverter. The HDE-CSV-QAM/IP comes as a small, modular desktop model but can be rack-mounted in just 1RU of height by using the optional 19” rack mounting panel. Control and access is through a GUI-based menu via Web browser.

    Distribution is over legacy coaxial networks or via IP, and provides DVB-ASI output as well. This provides instant access to an extensive network of digital displays capable of viewing valuable ad-based or informational video in a vibrant high-definition format.
