Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. what are the minimum and maximum video bitrates supported?

A: We are sorry, but we are not quite sure what you are asking. This device's through put is based on Ethernet standards. In that vein, it goes from 0 to 20MB. On the question about video bitrate, we have found this information Video Bitrate (vrate) is the desired encoded rate of the outgoing video. Settings are expected in Kilobitsper second.

Q: 2. Is it compatible with current digital transmission standards? Can it transmit HD video?

A: The Blonder Tongue CATV Channelized Audio/Video Modulator with SAW Filtering meets FCC docket 21006 aeronautical frequency offset requirements and is fully compatible with BTSC encoded stereo audio.

Q: 3. Is this a single channel input box?

A: Yes, Single input single output

Q: 4. is there a passive return module for BIDA 550-50?

A: For passive return you would need to add a diplexer.

Q: 5. unlock code?

A: Please call Zv Technical Support at 877-493-3833 or email them at support@zeevee.com. They can help you out with the unlock code. Thanks

Q: 6. where does one buy the license required per encoder and how long are the licenses good for?

A: Using the Axis Camera Station software you would only need 1 license per unit. There are no expiration dates on the licenses. The B&H part number for 1 license is AX0879010.

Q: 7. How do you access the settings for this device?

A: The following unit is Web pages based. The unit provides the same settings as the front-panel menus in simple Web forms based on a web driven interface.

Q: 8. Could you run 8x drives in JBOD and still obtain read/write speeds usable for 4k editing?

A: For the fastest configuration on the HighPoint SSD7540 PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller, RAID0 will be the best way to go to utilize the speed of all drives together.

Q: 9. Is there an E1.S tray to load M.2 2280?

A: The HighPoint PCIe 4.0 x16 8-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller has eight E1.S NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 slots—it won't work with M.2 2280 SSDs.

Q: 10. Is there a RAID 5 version?

A: At this time, there is no version of the HighPoint SSD7505 PCIe 4.0 x16 4-Channel M.2 NVMe RAID Controller that can support RAID 5.

[8 lb (3.6 kg)] Much better picture than using VCR for modulator and Radio Shack RF switcher. No lines much better picture. I only use Blonder-Tongue for modulators. 5

Marcin	05/09/2024
[60 W] I purchase it as a 2 channel HDMI QAM modulator, Video quality is amazing, now i realized that I can also use it for IPTV streaming over our network, we streem 2 programs from Direct Tv Set top box to any of our 240 computers in our building , I search the net , i would need to pay more just for the IP streamers - good value 5

[1 RU] needed it for old system works like new when changed. 5

Robert	01/06/2024
[1 RU] We use it at our school for live streaming to YouTube while simultaneous archiving to a network share. It is very easy to use and never let us down. Looking forward to the G2 version as it will eliminate the ipad that we currently use for starting and stopping the streams. 5

[1 RU] My school has been using Osprey Video Cards to stream events for close to 10 years. We were excited to see this encoder come to market...and it's working flawlessly for us! If you want quality streaming products always go with Osprey. 5

Church	13/04/2024
[20 x 20 x 3"] We use two of these for our digital signage around campus. These encoders have been up and running 24/7 for around 5 years and we've never had any issues. I've been really pleased with the continued support and firmware updates from ZeeVee as well as how easy it is to manage them from the web interface. 5

Monica	08/04/2024
[1 RU] We replaced our old cable provider Nano box which was 480p with the VeeZee VZPro810 set-up was simple, transferring the settings from the nano to the VZ was straight forward. Had to contact VeeZee once via Email and the customer service was spectacular, quick response time and a plethora of good information 5

Dimitri	06/04/2024
[8 lb (3.6 kg)] I've been selling and installing both the RF only and RF+IP models of the ZVPRO since 2015. We had one power supply fail in that time frame. That unit was in a less than ideal location being bombarded with construction dust. The customer also had daisy chained power strips which I'm sure didn't help. That's it. We've had no other issues. All these units are still in service. 5

Jacob	30/11/-0001
[20 x 20 x 3"] Using with the 4kQuad-4Channel and this works reliably in a 24/7 environment. 1080i59.94 and 1080p30 sources. I'm using with the internal SFP port and not the built in network. It's a little bit funky to get it to swap between the two, but once it's set, it says there. 5

[8 lb (3.6 kg)] This is the perfect product for sending RTMP to deliver to the masses as well as saving to File. Great for our changing workflows with SDI or HDMI and easy to set up, start and let stream at high quality at a great price point for the quality and reliability. 5
