This unit functions as both a CATV RF to IP Gateway and a CATV RF Transmodulator, offering 16 RF inputs and outputs. It efficiently converts existing ATSC channels into IP streams and QAM RF channels simultaneously, providing flexibility in managing your channel lineup. For instance, it can convert ATSC to IP and QAM, or DVB-S2 to IP and QAM, among other configurations.

The Thor transmodulator is equipped with 16 individual tuner inputs, supporting modulation standards such as ATSC, DVB-C Annex A/B/C QAM 64/256, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T, DVB-T2, and ISDB-T. Depending on the model, the output options include ATSC, QAM, DVB-T, or ISDB-T. This flexibility allows for various modulation conversions, such as QAM to QAM or ATSC to ATSC, for both up and down channel conversion.

Additionally, the device features an IPTV output, enabling each transport stream from the inputs to be outputted as a UDP/RTP multicast or unicast for local LAN video distribution. It also includes two independent DVB-ASI inputs, allowing for the integration of additional transport stream programs from external encoders as separate channels or subchannels.

With its ability to mix and match RF to RF conversions, this transmodulator is an excellent choice for enhancing your headend setup. It enables the addition of free OTA channels to a QAM headend or the creation of an RF to IP gateway using existing RF programs. For more information, please contact your local dealer or reach out to Thor directly.

Broadcast full HD IPTV content from 16 TV frequencies, whether ATSC, DVBS-S2, QAM (A & B), DVB-T, DVB-T2, or ISDB-T. The tuners can be set to any non-adjacent carrier, converting them to IP UDP unicast or multicast streams. Once frequencies are set, the unit scans for video/audio programs, allowing individual conversion to IP streams or re-modulation on different frequencies or standards.

Supporting up to 512 IP inputs and one IP (MPTS) output through GE1, it also offers TS input for re-mux through 2 ASI ports. This next-generation gateway ensures seamless RF to IP TS conversion, managed via a secure NMS system developed by Thor, facilitating program distribution via IP and ASI. Convert 16 CATV signals in DVBS2, QAM, or ATSC to IP, or transmodulate RF formats.

Each model is hardware-based and independent, tailored for specific modulation standards used globally. Ensure the correct model selection by consulting your local dealer or contacting Thor directly. We offer three hardware sets: one for ATSC, one for DVBS-S2, and one for QAM, which includes built-in modulation standards for QAM Annex A & B, DVB-T, DVB-T2, and ISDB-T, selectable through the NMS GUI.
