Contemporary Research QMOD-SDI HD-SDI Modulator

CR QMOD™ technology is opening the doors to new HDTV applications. The QMOD™-SDI HD-SDI enables cost-effective distribution of HD-SDI, SD-SDI, digital signage, HD subscriber sources, and EAS emergency AV using existing broadband coax cabling in sports, retail and entertainment facilities, corporate offices, colleges, schools and worship centers.

Create your own on-site HDTV broadband distribution system using HD-SDI, Component, and NTSC video sources
Distribute digital signage, satellite, cable, and media as HD digital cable channels over existing broadband wiring
View HD sources at any destination using HDTV displays or tuners
