Thor Broadcast HDMI-QAM-IP & HDMI-QAM-IPLL Product Lines

Thor HDMI to QAM modulators combine 1 to 4 HD hardware encoders with a multiplexer and agile QAM modulator. This platform is ideal for corporations or broadcasters needing to distribute multiple channels of HD programing over coax networks for MATV or CATV systems. QAM modulation is used in many world cable TV systems, including North American and European systems. Thor QAM-IP systems support both DVB-C and North American cable (ITU-T J.83B). The most common application for this system is to add additional channels of HD content to existing MATV or CATV channel lineups; or for local generation of full HD Cable TV feeds. The output of each modulator can be combined with exisiting cable, or with the outputs from other modulators to populate the entire RF broadband spectrum. Depending on firmware, a QAM-IP or QAM-IPLL chassis will output 1 to 4 adjacent QAM carriers with up to 38 Mbps of bandwidth each. The additional bandwidth space can be populated with externally generated programing via an ASI input terminal. The ASI input can accept MPTS programing at up to 120 Mbps of bandwidth for distribution.

QAM: Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (ITU-T J.83)

Thor encoder modulators are available for all major world television systems. If you loved this information and you would want to receive more info regarding hdmi to qam converter assure visit our web-page. Quadrant Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is commonly used in cable TV systems due to its high bandwidth abilities. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) defines the standards for QAM under the J.83 standard. Thor QAM-IP chassis support all three primary J.83 QAM standards; ITU-T J.83A, J.83B, and J.83C. Any QAM-IP chassis can be set to output RF carriers under either of these three standards without the need to change firmware. J.83A and J.83C are primarily used in European systems and are commonly known as DVB-C. US cable TV systems are based on J.83B, which in the United States is commonly referred to simply as "QAM". QAM-IP chassis are available from Thor with many different types of video input and encoder cards. These encoder modules are independent of the modulator chassis system.

HDMI-QAM-IP: Modulator Chassis with HDMI Encoder Cards

The HDMI video standard is commonly found in consumer and profesional devices all over the world. It is a versitile connector with many parallel lines for bi-directional communication. The latest standards support full rate HD video at 1080p60 with new standards being released to support ultra high resolution 4K video. Thor encoder cards support any HDMI input from any device that provides HD video output in standard HDTV resolutions and aspect ratios.

QAM-IPLL: Low Latency Encoding Option

Unit model numbers that include "LL" indicate that model includes Thor’s low latency encoding option. This new feature reduces the time delay between video input and encoded program output by more than 10 times. Standard model encoder modulator chassis systems typically have an encoding latency of 700-1200 ms depending on encoding parameters and output configurations. For many applications, adding approximately 1 second latency doesn’t make a difference. For other applications, such as live events; 1 second delay is very noticeable and prevents modulation from being used in distribution systems. The solution to live video broadcast applications is the Low Latency upgrade option for the encoders. IPLL models typically have an encoding latency of approximately 70-110ms, making them suitable for distribution of live video events. Contact a Thor sales representative today for more information on encoding latency.


Encoder Card Compatibility between Modulator Chassis

Thor HDMI-QAM-IP line of encoder modulators are designed for high quality distribution of broadcast quality video over coax cable. These systems are available in many configurations for a wide range of applications. This page covers models for a specific input video type combined with a modulator chassis programed for a specific output format. It is important to note that encoder card types can usually be combined with encoder cards for other video types. For custom model configurations please contact Thor directly for pricing and availability. While most firmware for Thor modulator chassis is inter-compatible; not all hardware will work with all software. Thor representatives are available for free design and consultation service. If you have any questions or concerns about a Thor system, contact a representative directly at 1-800-521-8467.
