HD MPEG-2 encoding andclear-QAM modulation for

frequency agile digital channel creation and broadcast over

existing coax wiring.

So simple... it’s scary!

Modular architecture allows ultimate flexibility for building affordable on PremiseHD® video distributionbuilding medium to high channel-count hD head-ends just got a lot easier thanks to the new hDbridge line. each module connects to a satellite or cable receiver and converts that signal into a digital cable (QAM) channel. The Rack Chassis holds up to eight modules.

Components of the hDbridge line are completely modular, and can be com-bined to add as many channels as you like to your head-end. hDbridge Modules... • Modules come in three resolutions – opti-

mize value by matching the native resolution of your sources, connected by high-resolution component video (Y, pr, pb) connections.

• Future Resolution Upgrade – hDb420 (480p) can be firmware upgraded in the future to a hDb520 (720p) for a small fee. save money today and upgrade only when content is upgraded from sD to hD.

• DVD Quality at 480 – with component video, even sD (480p) sources deliver stunning DVD performance and full digital quality while respecting content broadcast requirements.

• Digital Audio – Dolby AC-3 pass-through or pCM encoding.

• Select broadcast channel via a simple front-panel interface – up and running in minutes.

• Integrated Closed Caption support – required for ADA compliance in many applications.

Convert your satellite or cable source into an HDTV channel for broadcast over coax to an unlimited number of displays.

UnlimiTeD HD ConTenT • moDUles Come in 3 resolUTions

each hDbridge Module is di-rectly connected to a satellite or cable receiver and converts the video output into an hD cable channel. up to 135 chan-nels can simultaneously coexist on the same coax cable, and are simply viewed by using the tuner built in to every hDTV!

• Direct connection to satellite or cable receivers – redistribute high-quality content on-premise or campus-wide. Component video and digital audio interfaces allow for simple connections.

• Coax wiring – easily integrate and balance into new or existing MATV/sMATV RF dis tribution systems to add an hD tier of video feeds.

• Rack Chassis eases installation – holds and powers up to eight hDbridge modules, and includes an RF combiner and amplification. Provides one AC and one RF connec-tion.

• lAn port for remote management and configuration – monitor and configure mod-ules remotely, allowing for channel and content changes without needing to be on site.

• Built to last – steel enclosure, rack mounting, robust power supply, internal unit fans, and commercial cable-grade components.

ZeeVee’s Top Ten Revelations1) Coaxial wiring can carry 135 unique hD channels *simultaneously.*2) each of your video sources will become a unique channel.3) use off-the-shelf hDTVs without needing anything additional at each TV. • Just tune in the channel that you want.4) serve an unlimited number of TVs with the same technology the cable

company uses to light up an entire city.5) Merge your channel onto an existing cable lineup – share the resource.6) To add your new channel: • Connect your video source to a hDbridge module. • Install the module in an hDbridge rack chassis. • Connect the output of the chassis to the existing cable. • Done! You now have a new channel.7) To add a TV: • Cut the coax near the new hDTV. • Add a $5 splitter and a piece of coax. • You’re done!8) Coax cable is inexpensive – about 6 cents per foot. • Coax wiring is often already in place, making it… free.9) Coax installation requires simple tools and no special skills. • Home-run wiring is not required, significantly simplifies deployment.10) For big systems, a $50 off-the-shelf cable amplifier will boost the signal

of all channels to every display.

The hDbridge Rack Chassis holds up to eight modules and

delivers power, a pre-wired 8-1 combiner, and an

RF amplifier thatsimplifies deployment .
