It’s ideal for applications like 24 CVBS to RF, 24 CVBS to IP, 1 CATV QAM RF to IP, and 128 IP to CATV RF. With up to 24 CVBS video inputs via RCA connectors, the robust 1RU system is designed to maximize space efficiency in building a complete headend.

The flexible chassis allows for simultaneous RF and IP output, with automatic or manual PID remapping for up to 180 PIDs per channel. Utilizing MPEG2 video with CBR and VBR, it enhances CVBS input signals with noise reduction and de-interlacing for smooth content delivery. It also supports up to 128 STPS streams for RF modulation, with the option to include a digital logo stamp on streams. The Gigabit interface enables up to 4 MPTS streams output simultaneously.

This comprehensive device is perfect for small CATV headend systems and is a smart choice for hotel CATV headends, entertainment systems in sports bars, hospitals, and apartment complexes.

Applications include:

• AV to RF – Coax distribution of up to 24 analog baseband video to modulated CATV QAM/ATSC RF
• AV to IP – IPTV distribution of up to 24 analog baseband video to IPTV SMPTS TS output
• RF to IP – 1 QAM RF input to IP output
• IP to RF – Up to 128 IP TS input to modulated CATV QAM/ATSC RF

Designed to support low latency and full HDTV up to 1080p, this modulator is equipped with independent input cards, eliminating the need for additional converters. You can easily select between SDI and HDMI inputs through the options menu or the intuitive GUI. Each channel can be independently configured, allowing for seamless switching between SDI and HDMI inputs using front panel buttons or Thor’s proprietary web interface.

The Thor modulator provides the ability to set each of the 8 RF output channels independently, both in frequency and modulation standard. This means you can mix and match inputs and outputs, such as setting 4 channels to ATSC and 4 to QAM, offering unprecedented flexibility in your encoding and modulation setup.

Equipped with an NMS port and an LCD display with D-Pad buttons, the Thor Hybrid Modulator ensures easy setup and control. It supports major modulation standards like Clear QAM Annex A and B, ATSC-8VSB, DVB-T, and ISDB-T. The unit also supports MPEG2 video encoding up to 25Mbps per channel, along with audio formats such as AC3, MPEG1 Layer 2, and AAC. Thor’s renowned low latency and VCT (Virtual Channel Numbers) provide additional flexibility, allowing you to customize your RF channels across the spectrum without being confined to a linear block.

Available in models with 1, 2, or 4 SDI inputs, these modulators are ideal for corporations and video professionals aiming to integrate HD video onto RF carriers. The distinctive 8VSB modulation protocol is crucial for merging locally modulated content with channels from a master antenna system.

The Thor SDI-ATSC-IP & SDI-ATSC-IPLL product lines cater to the North American market, supporting the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standard. With firmware tailored for ATSC 8VSB modulation, these modulators deliver RF carriers with program streams compatible with North American set-top boxes and tuners. Customize PSIP and electronic program PID tables directly from the modulator’s control page, and configure custom PID values for specific systems.

For applications requiring low latency, models with “LL” in the number offer Thor’s low latency encoding option, significantly reducing the time delay between video input and output. This feature is essential for live events where even a slight delay can be noticeable.

Thor’s encoder modulator chassis systems support configurations from 1 to 4 channels, available in both standard and low latency versions. These systems are designed for high-quality video distribution over coaxial cables, with compatibility for multiple input video formats in a single chassis. For custom configurations, contact Thor directly for assistance.
