HV-330TX-S

COFDM Video Transmitter

Turns a CVBS feed into a DVB-T/ISDB-T/ISDB-Tb broadcast in real time — direct digital conversion across 1900–2500 MHz, ≥300 mW RF out, 98 × 60 × 45 mm.

Overview

The HV-330TX-S is a COFDM video transmitter that encodes an analogue CVBS feed in H.264 and modulates it to EN 300 744 DVB-T, ARIB STD-B31 ISDB-T or ABNT NBR 15601 ISDB-Tb for delivery over coax or antenna, so any compliant receiver able to decode H.264 — set-top box, digital TV, USB DTV dongle or capture card — picks it up directly. It tunes 1900–2500 MHz in 1 kHz steps and delivers ≥300 mW of RF measured at 2250 MHz, holding MER above 30 dB with no external PA. Encryption is available at both the RF layer and the TS data layer, and GPS or avionics UART data can be multiplexed into the same transport stream.

Video and position on one RF channel

NMEA from a GPS receiver goes into the UART and travels inside the same transport stream as the video. At the receiving end the stream is decoded for the display and the NMEA comes back out of a UART, ready for map software.

Specifications

System features

  • 01Direct digital conversion to 1900–2500 MHz in 1 kHz steps
  • 02DVB-T bandwidth 1/1.5/2/2.5/3/4/5/6/7/8 MHz; ISDB-T/Tb fixed at 6 MHz
  • 03UART data mux: GPS or avionics data carried in the same transport stream, port parameters configurable
  • 04Encryption at both the RF layer and the TS data layer, against eavesdropping
  • 05Channel switching by IR remote or on-board push buttons
  • 06At least 500 m over a single 3C2V/RG59 coax with no repeater
  • 07Differential RF output, so twisted pair (telephone or RJ-45) can replace coax
  • 08Daisy-chain bus topology: several units on different channels share one cable
  • 09Digital gain/attenuator +0 dB to −47 dB in 1 dB steps, default −15 dB
  • 10No frame drop under QEF, low transmission latency

※ Specifications are taken from the specification tables of the 2025-11-08 manufacturer datasheet and are subject to change without notice. The resolution ceiling comes from the CVBS input, not from the modulator. No over-the-air range is listed here: real distance depends on antenna design, any external power amplifier and receiver quality — ask us for figures for your configuration.
