Thor 1-4 HDMI to ATSC Modulators and IPTV Streaming Encoders 1080p/60

Transform your HDMI digital video inputs into RF ATSC off-air channels with the Thor 1-4 HDMI to ATSC Modulators and IPTV Streaming Encoders. Specifically designed for US over-the-air broadcasting, these devices output ASI, IP, and RF in 8VSB ATSC format, encoding video in MPEG-2 or H.264 and audio in MPEG1 or Dolby AC3. Available in models supporting one to four HDMI inputs, these modulators are perfect for broadcasting HDMI video as North American ATSC antenna and IPTV channels.

The Thor HDMI-ATSC-IP and HDMI-ATSC-IPLL product lines cater to corporations and video professionals needing to modulate high-definition video onto RF carriers compatible with North American ATSC tuners. Supporting the 8VSB modulation protocol, unique to North America, these modulators integrate custom programming with existing broadband lineups.

Thor encoder modulators are compatible with all major global television systems, adhering to the ATSC standard with 8VSB modulation. They output RF carriers with program streams designed for North American set-top boxes and tuners, allowing customizable PSIP and electronic program PID tables. For systems requiring Dolby AC/3 audio codec, Thor offers this option, ensuring compatibility with devices like Motorola or Scientific Atlanta systems.

The HDMI-ATSC-IP modulator chassis includes HDMI encoder cards, supporting full-rate HD video at 1080p60. Thor encoder cards accept any HDMI input from devices providing HD video output, ensuring versatility and compatibility with a wide range of devices.

Models with “LL” in the model number feature Thor’s low latency encoding option, significantly reducing the delay between video input and encoded output. Standard models have an encoding latency of 700-1200 ms, but the IPLL models reduce this to approximately 70-120 ms, making them ideal for live video event distribution.

The Thor HDMI-ATSC-IP line is designed for high-quality broadcast video distribution over coax cable, available in various configurations to suit different applications. While encoder card types can often be combined, not all hardware is compatible with all software. Thor offers free design and consultation services to assist with custom configurations and ensure optimal system performance.
