The wave of the future is affordable technology

CR QMOD technology is opening the door to new HDTV applications. Thanks to CR innovation, broadband RF over coax isn't just for TV anymore. The broadband network that exists in many sports, commercial, education, and civic facilities can be re-tasked for distribution of in-house high-definition video and audio from HD satellite and cable receivers, IP and microwave driven media, and digital signage. A few years ago, this type of technology required a $30,000 investment per channel, but now it's a practical commercial solution for less than $2500 a channel. At that cost, a wide range of new distribution and integration opportunities are possible.

Integrates into your team just beautifully

Made to make your life easier, the QMOD-HD modulator integrates VGA, component, s-video, and composite video as well as digital optical, coax, or stereo audio simply and easily. The connection panel is clear, making it easy to connect your sources. It's capable of creating a high-definition 720p/1080i MPEG-2 stream for broadcast and delivers a fully agile QAM 64/256 digital cable channel. You can even integrate RS-232 control and feedback with simple ASCII commands. The functionality is equally easy. The front panel buttons are kept to a minimum and the menus are clear and concise.
