HV-100EH

Full HD Digital TV Modulator

HDMI/Composite(CVBS) to DVB-T · 1.2GHz for HAM TV

50~950 MHz, 1200~1350 MHz

HV-100EH is a special edition of HV-100E for HAM TV application; HV-100EH can support up to 1.2G band with high RF power (-18dBm), but 2'nd and 3'rd harmonic in 950MH~1350MHz band is not well filtered.

50~950 MHz / 1200~1350 MHz · 2~8 MHz bandwidth · DVB-T EN 300-744

Features

  • 01 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.
  • 02 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.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 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.
  • 05 Daisy-chain Connection (Bus-Topology) — Multiple HV-100's with different channel configurations can share a single cable. It can dramatically reduce the cable deployment cost and effort.
  • 06 Real time protocol and Low latency — No frame drop in QEF (Quasi-Error-Free) condition, and low transmission latency
