Thor 1- 4 SDI to QAM Modulators and IPTV Streaming Encoders

Transform your HD-SDI digital video inputs into MPEG-2 or H.264 streams with the Thor 1-4 SDI to QAM Modulators and IPTV Streaming Encoders. These devices output ASI, IP (UDP, RTP, RTSP), and RF in QAM-256 J.83A/B/C, making them suitable for US Cable format or DVB-C.

Featuring 1 to 4 SDI inputs, these modulators encode, combine, and modulate for QAM and IP output in sharp 1080p60. Trusted by AV professionals and integrators, these models are ideal for live HD-SDI video broadcasting over existing coaxial cabling to multiple televisions in full HD.

The Thor Broadcast SDI-QAM-IP and SDI-QAM-IPLL product lines include real-time HD hardware encoders, a managed program stream multiplexer, and an agile RF QAM modulator. Each chassis can encode up to four channels of HD-SDI video to MPEG-2 or H.264, modulating programs on up to four QAM carrier outputs. Inputs can be configured individually, offering flexibility in encoding formats and resolutions. Programs encoded externally via an ASI input can also be modulated.

Thor Broadcast is known for its fast encoding speeds, making it a preferred choice for professionals in various fields, including live sports broadcasting for events like the NFL, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, and F1. These encoder/modulators are reliable and have proven effective in performing arts centers, government facilities, military installations, and high-end security applications.

Thor offers free tech support backed by decades of experience from their Los Angeles lab. Their team is ready to guide, implement, support, and assist over phone and IP, ensuring your application succeeds the first time. With a 5-year warranty, Thor’s expertise is trusted worldwide.

Thor encoder modulators are compatible with all major world television systems. They support all three primary J.83 QAM standards: ITU-T J.83A, J.83B, and J.83C. The QAM-IP chassis can output RF carriers under any of these standards without firmware changes.

The SDI-QAM-IPLL modulator chassis supports up to four inputs at 3G-SDI 1080p60. SDI, known for its convenience in broadcasting and professional AV systems, carries uncompressed digital video over single conductor coax cables with BNC connectors. Thor’s multichannel encoder modulator chassis systems support configurations from 1 to 4 channels, featuring Low Latency and Dolby Digital AC3.

Thor’s Low Latency encoding is crucial for live sports globally, significantly reducing the time delay between video input and encoded program output. While standard models have an encoding latency of 300/700-1200 ms, Thor’s low latency option is ideal for live events where even a 1-second delay is noticeable.

Chassis systems with custom encoder card configurations are available to support multiple input video formats. The Thor SDI-QAM-IP line is designed for high-quality video distribution over coax cable, with various configurations for different applications. Encoder card types can often be combined with others for custom configurations. For more information or custom model configurations, contact Thor directly.
