VGA and HD Video Distribution Breakthrough Price and Simplicity
Create your own HDTV cable channel and broadcast VGA or HD video using coax wiring.
ZvBox® 170Combination 720p HD MPEG2 Encoder/QAM Modulator
Features enhanced video capability for digital signage. • Rack-mountable with easy, PC-free set-up.
• Front panel configuration – Control buttons and display make ZvBox® 170 easy to set
up, without a PC.
• Works with any Digital Signage or HD video source – simply connect any Digital Signage
Player, Computer, DVD player, Satellite Receiver, Set Top Box or any other device with
a VGA or Component HD video output.
• Multiple channels – ZvBoxes® are frequency agile, and can be combined to distribute
up to 135 HD channels on-premise, all on a single, easy to deploy COAX cable.
• No matrix switchers or proprietary wiring required – switching between different
content sources is as easy as tuning to a different channel at the HDTV.
• COAX wiring – easily integrate and balance into new or existing MATV/SMATV RF
dis tribution systems to add an HD tier of video feeds.
• Built to last – steel enclosure, rack mounting, integral power supply, internal fan, and
one year warranty.
What makes this so revolutionary? Based on the same technology used by TV stations and cable compa-nies, ZvBox® 170 makes it affordable to convert your VGA or HD video into an HDTV channel and broadcast it over simple to use COAX wiring to every on-premise HDTV. Its standard QAM cable channel output can be received by practically any off-the-shelf digital cable-ready HDTV without requiring an additional box at the TV.
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 ZvBox® 170
• Connect the output of the ZvBox® to a “Combiner”
• Connect the other leg of the “Combiner” to the existing cable
• A “Combiner” is just a $5 splitter used backwards!
7) To add a TV
• Cut the coax near the new TV
• 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.
“I am quite happy to find the ZvBox®, and it works as well or better than I could ever hope… I haven’t been this excited by something for a long time.”“Too good to be true!” “Are you guys for real?”“Everything works as promised. I was very skeptical to start with, and was happily surprised.”
ZvBox® 170 was developed because our customers
asked for it. Our ZvBox® 150 has been a mainstay
in the residential market, while ZvPro® 250 is
perfect for bigger commercial jobs. But our
customers were asking for something in-between,
a product just right for high end residential work
and commercial systems.
You asked... for the rugged build, fan cooling,
and rack mounting of our ZvPro® 250, along with
easier, no-PC-needed setup — all at a very
aggressive price.
We listened... ZvBox® 170 delivers. It includes
simplified front-panel setup, rack-mounting, fan
cooling, and an internal power supply. Better
yet, its powerful video processor is capable of
delivering 60 frames per second, so text-crawls in
digital signage, and fast-moving video like sports
programs look ultra-clean and smooth.
Best of all, ZvBox® 170 still shares the same low-
cost roots of every other ZvBox®!
