HV-200E

Professional 4-band Full HD Digital TV Modulator

HDMI/Composite to DVB-T

100–2500 MHz

HV-200 is the most cost-effective solution to distribute HDMI or composite (CVBS) video to unlimited standard TV's without requiring any special adapter. The video input source from either HDMI/DVI or composite (CVBS) is encoded in MPEG2 or H.264 streams, modulated with the open industrial standard EN 300-744 DVB-T/ARIB STD-B31 ISDB-T/ABNT NBR 15601 ISDB-Tb, and then transmitted over cable or air. All DVB-T/ISDB-T/ISDB-Tb compliant receivers, including SetTopBox, Digital TV, PC/NB USB DTV dongle, or DTV capture card can receive, and watch the video from a HV-200 via the standard coaxial cable or antenna.

Features

  • 01 High Performance Wide Frequency Range Support — Direct digital conversion to 100..2500 MHz for excellent signal quality. Professional grade modulation error rate (MER).
  • 02 Low Cost HD Video Distribution — Compliant to existing HD TV sets, no extra adapter required, and no restriction on the number of receivers. All the peripherals like splitter, amplifier, connector…etc are the same as those for regular TV.
  • 03 Versatile video inputs and formats — Support HDMI/DVI and composite (CVBS) video input. Besides H.264/MPEG2 HD, MPEG2 SD format is also supported and compliant to existing SD TV sets or STB's.
  • 04 Easy to Configure — Channel number can be configured with the built-in keypad switch easily. More advanced configurations can be set from an external host like PC/NB or Tablet/Pad thru USB interface.
  • 05 Robust, Reliable and Long Distance — Easily transmit 1080p video over a single 3C2V/RG59 cable for at least 500 meters long without adding any repeater. For wireless applications, the line of sight transmission distance may reach 50~100 meters at 0dBm RF radiation power and up to several kilo meters at 20 dBm. The real distance depends on the antenna design and receiver quality. Differential RF output is also available for RF signal distribution with twisted pairs (telephone or Ethernet RJ-45) instead of heavy coaxial cables.
  • 06 Daisy-chain Connection (Bus-Topology) — Multiple HV-200's with different channel configurations can share a single cable. It can dramatically reduce the cable deployment cost and effort.
  • 07 Real time protocol and Low latency — No frame drop in QEF (Quasi-Error-Free) condition, and low transmission latency.
