The one-input Thor SDI to QAM Modulator IPTV Encoder 1-Inputfrom Thor SDI to QAM Modulator IPTV Encoder 1-Inputbundles a real-time HD hardware encoder with a managed program stream multiplexer and RF QAM modulator. It can encode one channel of HD-SDI video to MPEG-2 or H.264, and modulate the programs on QAM carrier outputs. The unit can also modulate programs encoded externally via an ASI input. This platform is suitable for corporate MATV systems or in-house HD video distribution from SDI sources.

Quadrant Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is commonly used in cable TV systems due to its high bandwidth. The QAM-IP chassis supports 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. The encoder modules are independent of the modulator chassis system.

The HD-SDI uncompressed digital video is commonly used in broadcasting and professional A/V systems. Serial digital video can be carried over single-conductor coax cables employing common BNC connectors. The low-latency encoding reduces the time delay between video input and encoded program output.

• Broadcasts live HD-SDI video and ASI as cable TV and IPTV channels
• Broadcasts over the existing coaxial cabling to an unlimited number of televisions with Full HD resolution
• Low-latency encoding
• Encoding latency of approximately 70 to 110 ms
• Any SDI input up to 3G-SDI at 1920 x 1080p60
• ASI input SPTS or MPTS up to 120 Mb/s
• Fully network-managed through browser
• QAM-256/64 RF output
• IPTV output unicast or multicast IGMP UDP, RTP/RTSP
• ASI output with multiplexer cherry picking

Q: 2. With LRT Subscription, It provides Internet too? or do we still need to provide sources like Modems/WiFi?

A: The LiveU LRT Cloud Bonding Annual Service (Download) does not provide internet but is a service for the LiveU Solo SDI/HDMI Video/Audio Encoder that combines multiple connections, like WiFi, ethernet, and two cellular modems, to have a robust and reliable connection for streaming. Ethernet and WiFi are provided with the LiveU Solo SDI/HDMI Video/Audio Encoder, but cellular modems are an additional expense. An example of a product is the LiveU Solo Connect 2-Modem Bundle for Solo Video Encoder. See the link below: https://bhpho.to/3ZalJax

Q: 3. Does the composite video output have captioning embedded?

A: The Thor QAM CATV RF and ATSC RF to HDMI Decoder Set-Top Box support Teletext and DVB subtitles for captioning on the outputs.

Q: 4. would this device be able to display unencrypted catv digital signals? we use them at our business from a blonder tonue encoder.

A: The Thor QAM CATV RF and ATSC RF to HDMI Decoder Set-Top Box is designed to decode ATSC and QAM Signals.

Q: 5. Can this unit connect to wifi without a USB modem connected? We are looking to connect as wifi only. No bonding. No direct wire connection to a modem.

A: The unit also has a CAT5 connection. And if you are at a difficult site, you can mix all 3.

Q: 6. We would be using it in a church with a dedicated WiFi for streaming. Do we need to buy anything else to stream via WiFi?

A: No you don't need anything else. The unit could be used just on WiFi alone or Ethernet alone.

Q: 7. What is the difference between this model and the ZEZVPRO810?

A: The ZV Pro 810i has IP streaming. The other model does not offer the IP streaming feature.

Q: 8. Without the subscription services, is there a workable free Ap? To tell LiveU device where to send the stream? To one of many CDN? And can LiveU stream live using ONLY wiFi from a smart phone hotspot? No other modedm no ethernet, strictly a hot spot from let's say an iphone? Obviously it would have to be in airplane mode. Also would a subscription be required if I wanted an embedding code of the stream to give to a client so they can IT it to their website?

A: According to LiveU they do not have an App. However they do have a portal, which is mobile friendly and can be accessed on the go. The LRT subscription is to take advantage of the bonding feature on the unit however it is not needed. The unit can stream on 1-4 connections at the time with LRT active. The unit can only stream to one CDN at a time, however Switchboard Live and Restream are both good options to push your stream to multiple destinations. LRT and Graphics are their only two subscriptions and neither are required to stream.

Q: 9. Will this device convert OTA video and audio signal to HDMI video and audio output?

A: Yes, the Thor QAM CATV RF and ATSC RF to HDMI Decoder Set-Top Box is designed to convert over the air video and audio signals into HDMI as well as output audio.

Q: 10. Can this encoder simulcast to Facebook, YouTube, and a website?

A: Hi Eleazer and thank you for your question. We can output our stream to one destination. To simulcast to multiple destinations you can use one of our integrated partners like Restream.io or Switchboard Live.
